Ann "The Man" Coulter greets a fan: "You're my first Hindu."

Stranger still was Is It True What They Say About Ann?, a short film about the conservative provocateur Ann Coulter, who said of Muslim terrorists after 9/11 that we should "invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." The director, Patrick Wright, never attempts to answer the title question, preferring to let the camera gaze lovingly at Ann as she hawks her books and invades university campuses. After a protester disrupts one of her speeches, she quips, "You really develop your analytical skills here at Johns Hopkins. At Harvard, they had questions." When an olive-skinned girl asks her to sign a book later, Coulter asks, "Are you a Sikh?" No, I'm Hindu, the woman replies. "Oh, I've got a lot of Sikh friends for some reason," Coulter says. "You're my first Hindu."

Not long into the new 40-minute video documentary Is It True What They Say About Ann?, conservative author/columnist/political pundit Ann Coulter is shown cordially signing copies of her three books during a post-lecture reception at Johns Hopkins University in October 2003. Some in attendance have come to praise her, others to bury her, including one young woman who gets right up in Coulter's face and snarls, "you're an a--hole."

"People either really love her or really hate her," notes the film's co-director, Patrick Wright, chair of the video department at Maryland Institute, College of Art. "She's really the boogeyman of the left."

Personable, abrasive, ideologically provocative, and, well, undeniably babe-like, Coulter cuts a different figure than the gaggle of (mostly) lumpy, middle-aged men who regularly serve as the right's champions in the media. The film depicts Coulter the pundit-star: sitting patiently for make-up sessions, talking animatedly about her days as an unlikely Deadhead, and unblinkingly staring down leftie hecklers during her JHU talk.

"I don't grade myself on where I am in the political spectrum," says Wright, who allows that "I've always hoped that this film would be a valentine to liberals. Liberalism is suppose to be about tolerance, and ultimately asks liberals to stop their intolerance when it comes to political ideas."

1. Oh, how sweet! Ann thinks he's her "friend."
Apparently, Franken was right: anyone who doesn't actively spit in her face is her "friend." That would explain a lot.

9. Didn't Hilary apologize?
No chance of ann doing that. She, like her idol, makes no mistakes.

6. Hey Mr. Wright
War crimes are not political ideas. There is no reason I should be tolerant of them. Racism is not a political idea, there is no reason I should be tolerant of it. Corporate crime is not a political idea, there is no reason I should be tolerant of it. Dishonesty, propaganda, slander, hate, and stupidity are not political ideas, there is no reason I should be tolerant of them.

I am so sick of people accusing us of intolerance because we get mad when the right kills hundreds of thousands of innocent people, causes millions of job losses, lets corporate criminals walk around free, and a whole host of other crimes. The day I ever become tolerant of those things is the day I stop being a liberal.

10. So, let me get this straight....
Edited on Sat Dec-04-04 09:41 PM by NightTrain
A woman who calls for the invasion of other countries, the killing of their leaders, and the forced conversion of their people to Christianity has the fucking nerve to accuse LIBERALS of being intolerant?

Welcome to George W. Bush's America, where every day is Opposite Day!
