Who are Ann Coulter's fans?

Aside from those who appreciate her comic value. Who’s buying her books without irony? If she were a man, I’d say the religious right. But does her being a woman (an unmarried woman!), one with a big city attitude who wears short skirts, trump her right-wing crazy talk for them?

I have a closeted gay Catholic friend who calls himself a “Reagan Democrat” (although I don’t think he’s voted for any Democrat for ANY Federal office in almost twenty years), and he likes her just for being willing to say whatever she wants. He likes that she’s a tall, kinda attractive woman who can mix it up with anyone. He doesn’t buy her books, though.

Funny you should mention that. There was a guy across from me on the plane yesterday reading an Ann Coulter book. I think the title was Treason. He looked basically human, although he could have stood to shave. He also had one of the Left Behind books with him (perhaps in case he finished the Coulter), so I tend to believe his interest in Coulter was unironic.

You know, there are a lot of religious righties who can appreciate a short-skirted, big-city-attitude, unmarried woman who’s on their side.

Does Hillary being a monogamous Methodist turn off secularist liberals who have sex outside of marriage?

Btw, I’m not a big Ann C fan. More of a Laura Ingraham guy. Ann often makes me shake my head in an “oh God, why must she be one of us?” way. But to hear how she makes the other side squeal does make me smile.

I always thought most AC “fans” were people who watched her just to get pissed off. :wink:

Speaking in the strictly sexual sense, oh hell yes. :stuck_out_tongue:

I flipped through her latest book recently, which is basically just a collection of her quotes. I’m not what you would call a big fan of hers…she’s too rigid politically…but I have to admit, some of the quotes were really pretty funny. You have to take her a little bit tongue-in-cheek, and realize she exaggerates for effect.

Balloon enthusiasts.

Assholes and bigots, generally. The ignorant don’t usually have trouble finding leaders as stupid as they are.

No. They don’t care which religion you are (it’s how religious you are). And they don’t care if you have sex, just so long as you mind your own business and don’t try to impose your sexual mores on others.

It’s nice to see you condone the bearing of false witness. It may make you smile, but it makes Baby Jesus cry.

Yeah, any religion, whatsoever. I mean, the world is your oyster. Methodist, Baptist, Episcopalean…you name it.

Do you have an example of one of these quotes? I’ve never seen anything by her that’s remotely funny.

Didn’t memorize any of them, sorry.

This seems to be a theme for you. You may want to look at that.

Sorry to tar you all with the same brush. It’s just that if someone genuinely believes her when she says, for example, that women shouldn’t have the right to vote, then it stands to reason that an uppity woman shouldn’t be speaking her mind. Though I’m not sure how large a part reason plays here…

No. Few secular liberals believe that extramarital sex should be mandatory, or necessarily encouraged.

See, I don’t think her fans generally believe that she is serious about taking voting rights away from women. That’s what I mean when I say that you have to realize that she is exaggerating for effect. Part of what makes it obvious that she is not serious about that is that she IS an uppity woman who is speaking her mind.

Now, now…she never said women shouldn’t have the right to vote. She said that if women didn’t have the right to vote, we’d never have another Democrat president.

Oh, wait. Never mind. :stuck_out_tongue:

What effect? What point is she trying to make via her exaggerations?

I work with someone who is a fan of hers. He agrees with whatever she says, except when she goes over the line and says something really stupid or crazy. Then she’s “just joking” and offended liberals and moderates “can’t take a joke”. :rolleyes: Though he did agree with her comments recently about Jews needing to be “perfected” by Christians.

Oh, and am I the only one who doesn’t find her attractive at all? Blonde hair and a skinny body doesn’t automatically make you hot. Of course, even if I did find her attractive, it would only last until she opened her mouth.
