I guess I'm wondering why people get so worked up over Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and Al Franken and the like.
Seriously, whats the big deal if a loud mouth political commentator gets her facts screwed up once or one-hundred times. Last time I checked, John McCain and Mitt Romney weren't choosing her for VP. Bush wasn't consulting her regarding Supreme Court nominations. I didn't call her before deciding what to teach my students this morning...people really aren't that influenced by what Ann Coulter thinks, says, does, or writes.
She, and others in her ilk, are commentators thats all. They make their money saying inflammatory things to make people on "their side" chuckle, and people on "the other side" fume.
I think that people get too worked up about Ann Coulter and the rest of them...especially considering that the vast, VAST majority of Americans have no bloody clue who she is. The fact of the matter is, the only people who really know who she is and read her work, are the people who are aware enough of the political scene to actually know the subject shes commenting on, and therefore have the good sense to read her for what she is...someone who takes a morsel of right-wing thought...and runs with it as far as she can and as fast as she can to the right in order to make righties laugh and lefties cry.
Why play into her silliness. If you find her amusing, good. Read her stuff and giggle. If you find her hateful, good. Read her stuff and piss yourself off, or don't read her stuff at all.
