She's the best thing to ever happen to the Democratic party. Hell, my grandfather who borders on being a Nazi (he's that far right) thinks Coulter is an extremist.

I actually have heard her debate and listened to her expansively......and I think she holds her own and does very well. People think she only insults because of what they have heard on TV or read in writeups. She is very well informed and extremely educated.

Isn't she from the north?

Once again, present an issue that Coulter projects and you don't agree with, and we'll have at it.

Ms. Coulter has said that anyone with a brain is either a conservative or a liberal, those who claim to be in the middle she referred as being "dumb as a toaster". I don't consider myself a conservative yet I'm far from being a liberal. I don't agree at all with the far left or the far right, I take a more moderate stance on things.

I would strongly disagree with that. When republicans court the middle, they dilute their platform and alienate their conservative base. The most successful republicans, like Reagan, have been the most conservative, not the most centrist.

Yeah, this is just the latest. Here's the MSNBC story. Ann Coulter reminds me more of Fred Phelps than she does a person of God. There is a difference between politically incorrect and tactless - the things Ann Coulter says are vile...she's purposely insulting and offensive, which I do not find amusing. There are some things that just shouldn't be said because they're mean and ignorant just for the sake of being mean and ignorant.

Much of what Ann Coulter says is ill-informed. In this case her description of Christians as being "perfected Jews" is just ridiculous. Any true Christian knows that no one is perfect, and that includes Coulter.

Coulter draws fire over remarks about Jews

Conservative author offends CNBC host Donny Deutsch with comment

Conservative author Ann Coulter finds herself in the middle of a firestorm once again after remarks on a CNBC television show in which she said Jews need "to be perfected" and suggested the nation would be better off if it were all-Christian.

Appearing on "The Big Idea" with host Donny Deutsch on Monday, she said Christians were tolerant of racial diversity but that it "would be a lot easier" for Jews if they were to become Christians.

Deutsch, who described himself as a practicing Jew on the show, was clearly dismayed by the remarks, which he called "hateful" and "antisemitic," according to a transcript published on the Web by Editor and Publisher.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21257498/

ETA: let me also say that I hope that the media soon realizes that it's WRONG to give that woman a chance to go on TV and continue to spew her offensive and slanderous remarks toward widows, cancer victims, presidents, vice presidents, and the majority of the country for that matter. There are many more intelligent and thoughtful scholars in this country that I'd rather watch. Yet they've continued to invite her, knowing that she'll cause controversy and capture ratings...then they have the nerve to condemn her!

I hate her, I always have and always will. Like PeppyGphiB said, the tv stations have some nerve to invite her on so she can spread her vile words and then when she does say something hateful (surprise, surprise) they criticize her like it's something new.

Don't buy her books, don't watch her on tv, or listen online/ on the radio. I don't think she'll ever fade into oblivion but I sure hope she would.

Can I just make an opinionated comment? I think Ann Coulter is a sociopath.
