http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55789-2003Jul1.htmlI am happy to report that Ann Coulter has lost her mind. .... Coulter conflates dissent with treason, opposition with treason, being wrong with treason, being right with treason and just about anything she doesn't like with treason. ....
.... her book, like her previous one, will be a bestseller. .... They tell the majority (non-liberals) that they are being controlled by the minority (liberals) -- and that most of the country's important institutions, particularly the press, are in the hands of leftists. Coulter has now taken this argument one step further. This wee minority is not merely wrong. It is traitorous. ....
.... the hard right, has finally dumbed out. ....
... the best she can muster is scorn, ad hominem arguments ....
She goes on and on in this vein -- actually, she goes on and on in every vein ....Coulter, as she herself must now recognize, is nothing more than the Bush administration's useful idiot.
.... "The left cut down a brave man," she writes about McCarthy, forgetting that the ol' red-baiter was censured only after he had tangled with the Eisenhower administration.
.... When it reaches the bestseller list, as it almost surely will, we will know that the conservative movement has finally cracked up.

http://www.newsday.com/news/columnists/ny-lizsmith3355442jul02,0,1816767.columnThere's no question about the title of the new tome from the darling of the conservative right. Ann Coulter's new one bears the emphatic title "Treason." I will give this a look as I like to keep an open mind. But the last time I read a book by Ms. Coulter, I thought if I had substituted the word "conservative" for every time she wrote "liberal," I'd have a more realistic read.

Ask her what she thinks of homosexuality. When she says God said it is "abomination" etc. ask her how she can support Roy Cohn, McCarthy's right hand man and scum sucking attack dog lawyer. Also, closet homosexual who died of AIDS.
Ask if she has homosexual leanings herself. If she wishes she were a man. Ask if she'd ever like to whip a liberal, while she's nude, and not with just any whip, a long well-oiled whip . . .
Ask what it's like to be her age and unmarried without children. Isn't she pro-family?
What kind of medications is she on, and why did she go off of them? Has she stopped having electroshock therapy?
Ask if she's one of those women with the extra y chromosome that makes her sort of "half man."
Also, why does she hate the Bill of Rights?
If Gore had won the Electoral College vote, but Bush had won the popular vote, would she be satisfied that the will of the people had been expressed and that Gore should be the president.
As a witch, should she be burned at the stake?
---------Item 3--------
As a serious question, ask her why she thinks women shouldn't be allowed her vote. Ask her if she herself would give up that right.
I hate that bitch with a passion. Anything to get her to sweat...

"I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don't need any more." Asked how far back would she go to repeal laws, she replied, "Well, before the New Deal... would be a good start."---Politically Incorrect 5/7/97
----------Item 5-------
what conservative organizations buy her book in bulk to make it seem like she really is a best selling author. Ask her how many takers they get when they try to give away her book.

Somebody should run into the bathroom after her (holding their breath of course) and see whether she leaves the seat up or not

According to David Brocks book Blinded by the Right, he wrote that you discussed at a party weather to assinate or impeach Bill Clinton. Did you or did you not say that?

My suggestion? All she says on every show is how McCarthy is always made to look bad through third party quotes and not directly. She repeats it over and over. If you have access to such materials (decent college library usually does it) dig up some McCarthy quotes from either biographies, historical accounts, periodicals, or the Congressional Record that are damning to him and his reputation. Be able to read them verbatim with sources. She will interrupt. I promise.

p. 197 of BROCK (paperback). Can't quote because of the copyright blurb ("no way, no how"), but paraphrasing:
Dan C. and her crowd of wingnut radicals, including Laura INGRAHAM, never had a meaningful discussion about politics, just boozed and smoked and used hate speech at racial and underprivileged targets. She advocates lying by wingnut nominees at confirmation hearings.
So, Dan, are there so much diversity in America that it's too late to achieve your Aryan dream? How does porn fit in to your morality, such as when you were laying GUCCIONE-Jr? Have any chardonnay last night? How do you manage hangovers for those early morning appearances?
