So true. Not to worry though. When they blow us all up, at least they'll be saved and live on streets paved with gold or sit at the right hand of Jesus or in a house with their 72 virgins etc... “Whatever she is, liar, hate-monger, or performance-artist the horrifying thing is that there are enough ignorant people out there that buy her books to make them best-sellers.”

What a nice euphemism for outright lies. And pointing to a wrong to justify a wrong is classic conservative tactics. Asking three educated people a question and getting the same answer doesn't a religion make. Talk about reaching.

Once they say "no" ask if they agree with the War in Iraq. Once they say "no" ask them if they believe capitalism is the best way for an economy to run. Once they say "no" go to another college student and repeat the same questions. Liberalism may not be a system of beliefs, but it is a system of negations so I can see where Ann Coulter is almost justified calling "liberalism" a religion. Coulter is making large exaggerations and offensive statements to draw attention. It isn't right, but the left-wing has been doing this far more extreme and for far longer.

I agree that Coulter is out to make money, but i am not convinced that she is just a performance artist who doesn't believe what she spews out. Ive read quite a few of her books and some members of my family just love her and swallow her garbage unquestioningly. Arnold.

In your heart of hearts, you know Coulter is a performance artist who puts Borat to shame. She believes none of what she writes, and writes what she writes to make money. The second reasonable people realize this and stop taking her seriously is the second she vanishes from relevance. You’re making the same mistake as Eric Alterman.
