1. I'm sorry
I feel nausea, disgust & anger just looking at that witch. I'd never read one of her pieces of vile & diatribe.

5. Same here
Ugh. Hearing her is enough. Why would I want to read something from her? Disgusting.

2. I pity her. She's clearly lost any credibility.
Her defenders always say that liberals only hate her because they don't have a sense of humor. OK. Forget about the fact that it takes a warped sense of humor to find her rants humorous, roughly 99.9% of her arguments are screed and poisonous invective. I can't take her seriously, if she's joking ALL the time, and isn't at all funny.

3. I read all her stuff...
plus other conservative crap so I know what is on the mind of those I am arguing or debating with.

I guess the whole "know thy enemy" saying makes sense to me.

As an analogy, doesn't it piss you off when wingnuts attack 9/11 without seeing it?

6. Nobody who really can read would waste the skill on Ann Coulter.

9. Uh, I can read, and I enjoyed wasting my reading skills on her.

Isn't it worthwhile to read the propaganda-filled, hateful ravings of a TIME cover whore? You know, "know your enemy" and all that -- and its entertaining to see what the right-wing media views as intellectual thought. The fictional diatribes and verbal dung scatterings of a brainless nincompoop.

7. i wasted time w/ a book of hers, once.
afterwards i learned my lesson and flipped straight to the bibliography and started checking her sources. you'd have like whole chapters based off of maybe 2 sources, and of those they are like of out Time magazine or something stupid like reader's digest. the last book i gave up at was when like chapters went by and she was citing 4 sources endlessly, and they were just weekly magazines! absolute freaking waste of time. i've seen the Weekly Reader given to grade school kids cite more resources. she's a waste of publishing ink.

then there was the time i read "Bias" by Goldberg alongside "What Liberal Bias?" by Alterman. then i flipped around between several referenced sites mentioned by alterman that picked the references in Bias to pieces, and then did on the side study of "Bias" sources and it was corroborated. that and the basic premise of that book is inane. "the media is biased because i have cocktails with these pretty faces that read off a teleprompter -- and they're liberal!" fucking stupid excuse for an argument that the media is controlled by liberal bias.

most conservatives have shit for brains, and their books merely prove it -- unfortunately for 100s of pages at a time. i've decided to stop wasting my time and now flip directly to the bibliography if i'm gonna even consider reading a conservative book. if it starts basing major concepts off of crap like people and newsweek magazine, back to the shelf of dust it goes. honestly, listening to them is becoming a waste of time.

8. I won't touch or look at anything associated with her.
I've actually only seen her in bursts of about 1.5 seconds - that's how long it takes me to grab the remote and switch channels. I've never actually seen or heard her say a complete sentence as I can always get rid of her before she can finish one.

That "face" is not welcome in my home.
