"stratman, apparently you don't like her delivery. Ann Coulter does NOT whine "so you think I should be mean like Bill Maher??" when asked a question like that. She makes her point with a stiletto heel. (And calling someone a homosexual slur is NOT the same as wishing death on him.)

Sarcasm is her stock-in-trade, even if you think she could be more effective with more sugar.

If you don't approve, listen to Bill Buckley."

I like Ann's delivery just fine much of the time but not all of the time.  With few exceptions, maybe Johnny Carson for me, most people, in or out of show/news business are never always agreeable to me or anyone else.  Except for the delusional, we sometimes don't even like the sound of our own voices from time to time based on what we've said. 

Ann, like probably everyone on the planet, whines from time to time about something.  Political commentators are not above whining and neither is Ann.  This does not diminish Ann, it only gives recognition that she is human like everyone else.  She has been part demagogue, but she is a mirror of society as filtered through her experiences, though on the opposite side of the mirror from Maher overall, and that is her schtick.   Sarcasm is a viable method for making a point.  Sometimes, though, a little sugar is better at trapping flies, and this was one of those occasions in my opinion.

Making a point sometimes needs a stilleto, but oftentimes it can be done in a more gracious and civil manner.  As I said, I fully understand what Ann was doing.  Unfortunately, her phrasing will give a nice sound bite for the Liberals to demonize her and conservatives more.  By slightly altering her wording without changing the context and content, as in my more civil approach recommendation, Ann could have skewered the hypocrisy of the Left and forced the issue back onto the MSM and the Left to flounder over without sounding like a Leftist revolutionary.  While you may think that would change the message, the messenger or dumbed down the message... consider the target population she wanted to impress the contradiction upon - The Left.   The Right already "get's it".  The Left doesn't understand that Maher was a douchebag for what he said and that sort of speech, while constitutionally protected, is culturally unacceptable.  Ann's methodology probably will result in a further hardening of the Left's position.  So, no further gains in illumination and society takes another Left turn at another fork in the road towards Nero's burning Rome.

I like Ann's thoughts and pretty much have a crush on her.  If she came to my town I would even pay money to hear her speak.  Like everyone else in the world, Ann is not correct 100% of the time with her political and cultural commentary, but she's pretty darn close.

Lastly, please do not condescend to me about whom I should or should not watch.  It makes you seem so... liberal. 

I don't understand your question Noel.  What are you asking me?

Can you tell me how many posts there have been on Newsbusters whining about things that Al Franken or Bill Maher have said about conservatives?

Seems to me that if you're going to complain about their inflammatory comments (calling them offensive, dangerous, blah blah blah), then you might not want to support somebody like Coulter, or you're a hypocrite. 

Hi Peter..

See, you would have to remove the word honest to get any takers.

I also would insist on No-Spin just in case they confuse the two.....lol.

Why don't you go outside and Fly Like a Negro?

Where's the humor when Coulter wishes John Edwards would die in a terrorist attack or making snide comments about his dead son?   Where's the humor?  Is this the type of stuff you republicans get a real kick out of?

You're forgetting that Ann _wants_ the misinterpretation, the hysteria, the hostile coverage. She thrives off of it.
