Judging by her columns, I’d say wanna-be Nazis.
It was a serious question. She makes outlandish accusations that seem to piss off the left and alienate the right. So who’s her audience? How does she keep getting a job?
Heh. Simulpost. Yeah, that could be, jab1.
I just thought that maybe because her views are outlandish, silly, repugnant, and shocking, and because she’s female and attractive to some, that maybe those places that hire her are doing so not because they believe in her viewpoint or in her integrity but because they want to attract attention to themselves and perhaps gain.
I’d much rather believe that than assume they think she’s got any real insights up there, y’know?
dan: So who’s her audience? How does she keep getting a job?
Pay a visit to http://www.FreeRepublic.com/forum/ and search on “Ann Coulter” and you’ll find that she has some pretty enthusiastic fans. The looks issue always does seem to come up at some point, of course: I cull a few gems.
…Ad infinitum. I don’t think she’s just considered eye candy, though: I think her “shock talk” extremism and vehemence are very appealing to many people who hold similar views. Kind of a Howard Stern of the political right wing. And the sex appeal factor (she is indeed frequently referred to as the “Official Babe of the VRWC”, whatever that stands for) just ups her celebrity value.
The “VRWC” is the “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.” I think they think they’re being ironic.
Thanks, Kimstu. I did kind of figure fringe lunatics would find her appealing (and not in the eye-candy sense, either); I just didn’t think there would be enough to keep her in print. Granted, she probably remained a columnist for NR because she was a little unorthodox, though I’m sure her attitude and rantings quickly wore thin with the brass (nice link from Scylla).
Funny thing, though. She may be OK to look at, but damned if there aren’t a plethora of blonde pundits on the tube lately. I flipped on CNN one night, and there were three “experts” - all blonde - being interviewed by Paula Zahn - way blonde herself. Good gravy! Coulter’s not even unique in being this sassy blonde, so she has to overcompensate by being as wacky as possible - appealing to the lunatics, garnering tons of publicity… and still gets work.

A) She is cute.
B) She is intelligent.
C) She is a conservative. (An outspoken and proud conservative at that)
What is not to like? Since she is not some bull-dike leftist, I know she won’t be too popular with most of the folks here, but she is quite popular among conservatives. You folks just aren’t the target market.
The only memory I have of Ann Coulter is not a pleasant one.
I was at a taping of CNN Crossfire when she was a guest. Both Carville and That Guy From The Right (the one with the bow-ties) seemed to strongly dislike her. They openly joked about her evasion of Carville’s questions during commercial break.
She certainly is a loon.
Not THIS conservative, chum. She’s a xenophobic theocrat, and an embarassment to right-wingers nationwide.
She is pretty cute, though, I’ll give ya that.
From what I’ve heard, she’s anorexic, anti-Semitic and chain smokes.
I don’t even think she’s that attractive-Ann, you’re supposed to be a right winger, pro-gun. Get some MEAT on those bones. What does she live on, iceberg lettuce?
Good lord, isn’t this the woman who claimed in her book that Clinton masturbates into the sink? And people should care about this WHY???
Her swarthy-looking males comment pissed me off. Hey Coulter, my grandfather was a “swarthy male”. Fuck you.
I think the Freepers just want to boink her. The rule is-anytime you mention Ann Coulter, you have to post her picture.
First of all, Brutus, it’s “bull-dyke.” A dike is a protective wall used to hold back a body of water.
Second, do you ever get tired of being a classless putz, or is it just a way of life? I mean, certainly it isn’t getting you laid, so what exactly do you get out of it?
I still find her highly attractive.
Stop being mean to me. 
So whats you mamma’s poltical persuasion, peckerhead!
What happens when your Dad finds out what you’re doing with his computer!
Which is to say, “What an asshole thing to say”
Getting my drift here?
I don’t know how you guys can say such mean and hateful things about her.
She never wrote or said any of that bad stuff, and I can prove it.
I mean, look here:

There ya go!
I’m expecting retractions left and right.
Ooh, she is sexy!
Is this what she’s been doing since she departed from the NR? She’s a librarian, and teaches continuing ed? I really should stop saying bad things about her. I take back everything…except that part about her mama…wait, I never said anything about her mama. Oh well, whatever.
Good work, Scylla! 
I went to school with Anne. She was in my Creative Writing class at Cornell. She was chunky and had bad skin. I don’t agree with her politics at all, but I applaud her transformation from moose like, intellectually aggressive wallflower to rail thin, sharp tongued bitch on wheels. You go girl!
Whenever she hisses, “liberals are evil,” she’s really expressing
her resentment towards the cute, petite girls who wouldn’t let her in their sorrorities. Not unlike Howard Stern, she’s the outsider who’s taking revenge on all the cool kids.

Dude, that is so fucking weak.

OK, everyone stop pounding on Scylla!!
I want to pound on him some more!
Scylla, I’d rather get rug burns on my knees from Michael Moore while he eats pizza off my back than touch Ann Coulter – in fact – I’d rather be fixed up with my neighbor’s greyhound, who has the edge on Ann only in looks and personality. Are we looking at the same person? Ann Coulter? Her skin is so taut and strained, I wouldn’t recommend you touch her – her skin will fly apart, and shrapnel will take out your eye! She’ll stare at you with V lizard face and chew on your other eye! And her opinions! Christ-on-a-cracker, I’d rather listen to duet for rake and chalkboard than ever again hear that screechingly insane stepford fifth-columnist aryan-wet-dream skinny-ass skank. God-cancel-the-series, if she ever flashes her puss at Bill Maher again while decrying the use of sex on TV, I’m gonna cover my screen with technicolor breakfast. I’d rather have an policy debate with gibberingly demented manic-depressive aliens who communicate by flatulence than listen to her robotic, untalented, stupid-to-the-10th-power, oh-I’m-so-persecuted drivel!
Let me put this in a way you’d understand – she’d take all your power tools, break the fucking power washer, charge you for the damages because the power washer is biased towards whiny, untalented blond morons!
The fact, that you believe that she’s not a cuntbag – she’s a well documented and researched cuntbag…
– Wait, I have to pause, I’m laughing too hard –
…means you’ve fallen for our moron-conservative honeypot sting! Congratulations, you are now a registered member of the crackpot right wing loony toons! Your code name is January --Here’s your check claim, should you ever want to leave the party, your credibility will be fully restored.
