And a vampire’s dream, apperently. Bloody hell, look at that neck! But yes, nice boobs.

Ok, so you’ve made an effort to avoid hearing about what she talks about. However, _now_, you’ve read this thread, and you’ve learnt about something she’s said (and her past history). Do you _now_ feel outrage at her?

Ditto. I have absolutely no knowledge of anything she says, because I pointedly don’t pay attention to her, or O’Riley, or Limbaugh. There are blowhards on both sides, and I refuse to deal much with any of them.

Do you deal with their fans? If you deal with their fans, I think it’s wortwhile to confront them.

Last weekend, I spent a good while arguing with my mother and sister about politics. My standpoint was simply that the engineers of Co Child Left Behind were not malicious, were not intending to destroy the public school system. They might have enacted a very poor set of laws (I am convinced they did), but it was stupidity, not malice, that motivated them.

I figure as a elftist, it’s part of my job to confrton polarization like that when it comes from y side of the aisle. I may not go to watch Michael Moore movies, but I love people who do, and so when I deal with them about politics, I can’t ignore his influence.

If you love people who pay attention to Coulter, you’ve got even more of a duty to confront her ideas, given the _sui generis_ venom they contain.

“Damned Keeblers”? What next, are you going to start telling jokes about “cookie munchers” and making snide comments about how they all need to head back North where they came from?

Sheesh, and you call **me** the elftist.
