Independence of thought is nice, don't you think? Is there any here in this groupthink?

She got the Democratic Party's number rather thoroughly in her last couple of books, and the best response that lot can come up with is that they find her abrasive, and utter outraged shrieks that they are impugned and defamed. Hey, gang, innocence doesn't have to utter outraged shrieks, but guilt generally does.
If she does have anything useful to say, I don't think she's able to communicate it very well--she's at the very least abrasive, and an attention whore most of all. Reading her crap would just be a waste of time.

A far more intelligent, less sensational view from the far right is Christopher Hitchens' writings. I don't agree him either, but I respect him. He doesn't stoop to smartass insults (when he's trying to make serious points, anyway).

I have "fellated" every type of guy you can imagine. Old, young, fat, thin, beautiful and not so much. But I wouldn't touch "her" if she ejaculated hundred dollar bills.

Actually he does, occasionally, although he's so good at it you have to give him points. I disagree with most of his positions, but I find him articulate and worth listening to.

Coulter couldn't outargue a ten-year-old. Her basic repertoire always seems to end in the equivalent of "so's your old man". Hitchens stays focused while Coulter jumps the tracks more often than Casey Jones.

The short and quite correct answer to that question, Bruce, is No. Think about it.

The longer and funnier answer is "I can't accurately respond to the question until I ascertain if we're discussing chess, or tennis." Try it using a WFB Ivy-League delivery.

(William F. Buckley, for the non-fans)

And guys, calling Ann Coulter names does not constitute refutation, nor does refusing to read her. Are you then doing any better than you say she is? Really?

She reaps what she sows. If her real objective was to be taken seriously, instead of being (in)famous and selling books, I think more of us would be willing to give her the time of day.

Because calling her names isn't supposed to be a refutation. The refutation is.

Calling her names is casual dismissal of someone who has been adequately refuted already.

It would be, if she had been. That isn't the case, now is it?
