Why all the Ann Coulter threads?
I read a quote of hers in Time magazine the other day. She said she says the things she says just to GET liberals to bitch about her because "everytime a liberal opens their mouth, another decent American becomes a republican."

Pretty obvious to me her entire MO is simply to stir the shit. I never paid much attention to her to begin with, but that sealed the deal for me.

2. Because she's a whore - and the worst kind of whore.
The kind who doesn't know she's a whore.

3. I secretly desire her...
I don't have enough vampiric harpies in my life.

Oop, not so secret now.

4. Because a certain subset on DU...
likes to badmouth women and thinks they can get away with it as long as it's right-wing women. :eyes:

7. I don't know about that
...I am a woman and I just don't like mean people, regardless of gender, and frankly the pile on thing is kinda funny.

12. This is a long standing peeve of mine...
regarding some DUers who like to make nasty, sexist remarks about Ann and Condi Rice. They disparage them as women in a way they never would about male conservatives. It's ridiculous.

15. Well, I for one
...make disparaging remarks about conservatives in general. I simply can't stand them. and I do wonder why a supposedly bright woman would be a conservative. I can't wrap my hands around that.

17. I don't understand conservative women either...
but then again I also don't understand liberals who can't seem to talk about them without getting ugly about their sexuality/gender.

20. I agree with you there
...but I think sometimes people are just in a poking fun of type mood, and she is an easy target with the vitriolic bile that she spews. She is a far easier target than Condi, IMO

29. See, you say that because you don't know enough about Condi
If you did, you would realize that she's just as big a target, or even bigger. Start with her explanation of why she's a republican. It's because her father was a republican. Why is her father a republican? Because he tried to register Democrat, and the Dem party in 1950s Alabama wouldn't let him. Go from there. Learn to hate her disengenious revisionist history-spouting ass as much as I do.

Plus, Ann Coulter is just a vitrolic bitch. Sort of how Rush Limbaugh is a hateful gas-filled windbag, and Sean Hannity is just a blight upon the media world. There's plenty of mean things to say about conservative men. Seriously, don't get me started.

24. true
& doubled up w/ the appearance thing w/ rush.

there's plenty to knock w/o bringing that shit up; & there's some really great, perhaps not attractive, people/women here @ DU.

those folks get wounded in the X-fire. it's needless.

16. Yup
So I can spend the day telling her exactly how and why I disagree with her and explaining why she's a bad person without resorting to calling her names or disparaging her sexuality.

14. She started them all...
to get out of the 700 club. But as I mentioned above, this is a long-standing peeve of mine that has been allowed on DU for a long time.

21. Well, in my case
I was trying to make a point about how sexual orientation didn't matter in her case, because she's a mean-spirited self-important thug. All the threads were atlking about if she married a man or a woman, but face it-if she married a rock the rock would run away. As far as sexism goes, she's far more sexist than most members of DU, IMO.

23. You got that right. According to her women shouldn't be allowed to vote
because all we care about is shopping.

26. Yeah
I think there's more than enough to pin her on with what she SAYS.

But all in all, I think the thing that would really piss her off the most would be if not a single liberal paid a single bit of attention to her.

oooooo that would get her goat, wouldn't it?

28. Well, no. There I disagree
We can spend all the time in the world not paying attention to her. Freepers still do, and the more they pay attention to her the more shrill and hateful she gets.
I personally think we should oppose her, Malkin, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc. They have been a significant factor in turning this country towards evil. We can't simply ignore it. Look at what's happened so far.
