So, back on topic, I don't see what's so bad about her. She makes extreme statements, but at least she's mostly right.

*tries very hard not to spam to this statement*
I dont like her
I admittedly have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm just trying to make up for spamming about her hot ass.
Stop listening to your dad.
I just realized that that could be taken to mean "right-wing" instead of "correct". Not sure if that's what Shlup was going for though.but at least she's mostly right.
Just from that interview she strikes me as a raving lunatic. My (very conservative) friend really likes her, and says she's really smart but that she can be bitchy at times.
The former doesn't strike me as necessarily true, and the latter is the understatement of the century.
That's what I thought at first. Maybe I was giving Shlup too much credit.
She's an absolute nutjob. Bill O'Reilly's more sane than she is, and he's a raving lunatic, too.Just from that interview she strikes me as a raving lunatic. My (very conservative) friend really likes her, and says she's really smart but that she can be bitchy at times.
I've read two of her books (didnt pay for them, but read them) and not all her ideas are as extreme as the one quoted, but many of them are. But I've yet to see any of her ideas that's actually proactive instead of being able to be summed up in "omfg liberals".
For Coulter, everything is the fault of the liberals and every problem can be solved by their destruction. Seriously.
I thought of both meanings of "right" when I posted it.
I love how all these people can call Anne Coulter "hateful" on a thread titled "I Hate Anne Coulter". A little... ironic? Naw, that ain't the word...
Raistlin, if you'd actually read "Treason" you would know about the Venona Project. If you knew anything about the Venona Project and McCarthy's "innocent victims", you would realize that she is, once again, right.
If men could get pregnant, I would have her baby.
First of all, as far as hate goes, I'm sure no one who has up until now posted in this thread has an active hate of Anne Coulter. Personally, I dislike her practice. She has no journalistic integrity, everything she says is mudslinging and not very productive at all. Part of being a journalist, any journalist, is maintaining your integrity and doing your job right. Part of that job is to make people think, which Coulter does do, I will admit, but another part of that job is to act as a watchdog. It's why the press is considered the fifth estate in the US government system. Coulter is not a watchdog journalist, she doesn't expose anything meaningful in her work, and she is far more concerned about presenting herself as a sexy, smart ass "bitch" than as an intelligent woman with insightful, stern and pointed rebuttal to her critics.
Her writing is dull and repetitive, and when she does expose a gem of historical fact that is often overlooked in the public eye, she immediately spoils it by raving on and on and on about how all of this leads back to the evil liberals.
I refuse to respect the work of a person who lacks all integrity (both personal and professional) and who lacks one of the fundamental traits of a good journalist; objectivity.
Signature by rubah. I think.
We'll put aside the wholly unfounded and untrue claim that she lacks integrity and instead go to the most amusing part....
You refuse to respect the work of any person who lacks objectivity? I suppose that means that after Memogate you refuse to watch CBS, you can't stand Dan Rather, and after ABC's "let's help Kerry get elected" memo you don't watch them anymore either?
Spot on, actually. The only ABC news I watch is my local news, and I can't recall a time when I ever watched CBS, except during 9/11 I believe. For everything else I use the internet and various newspapers.
I understand that the very idea of objectivity is in itself quite subjective, but entertain for a moment that we all could agree on what the term objective meant. It's my opinion that a good journalist will forgo the scoop in order to verify that his or her informants/information are completely reliable. Just because the big names in the industry don't follow these guidelines doesn't mean that they're still there and that they apply to everyone. And just because someone is a big name doesn't necessarily mean they're a "good journalist". Sensationalism is just bad all around. Another of Coulter's faults, in my opinion.
But this only my opinion. I don't tout it as fact.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Not to take this thread over, but to throw Rather under the bus is quite unfair when you consider that mistakes are made ALL the time and he actually apologized, though it took a while, while a great many other mistakes that occur, both in the media and the government happen without any sort of apology or accountability.
To look at media figures such as a Coulter or a Rather, you have to look at the bigger picture, not just isolated instances. Rather was one of the foremost members behind reporting the JFK assassination, the Civil Rights movement, both Gulf Wars, Watergate, and the fall of Communism in Germany and Russia so I think he deserves more credit than he was given.
Take care all.
The woman is incredibly rude. If you can be an incredibly rude person and still have integrity than I guess you are right. However, I would have to disagree. She says things that she herself knows arent true, just to piss people off. (I have been guilty of this in the past as well. Most of us have.)the wholly unfounded and untrue claim that she lacks integrity
And those things would be.....?She says things that she herself knows arent true, just to piss people off.
