Wilhelm-Scream said:I don't think it's a "gimmick".
I think she feels that what she says is true, whether or not she's stopped to think about what exactly she's saying at any given moment.
My skepticism comes from the fact that I haven't heard much from her at all in the past couple of years, but when I was following her, and saw her on CNN, and heard her on talk radio shows, etc. a while back, she said "inflammatory" things, but they were always things that at least contained a kernel of SENSE.
I don't know if she's subsequently lost her mind, but I've agreed with a lot of what I've heard her say in the past.
I will admit that I give a default reverence to anyone who makes fun of, damns, or mocks "the way things are" currently.*shrug*
Wilhelm-Scream said:My Mom is really fat.
It's sad because she always wants to come up for a visit, but when she inevitably fails on her diet, she's scared to be seen by me (the fat kid in the family who pulled it together and got chiseled/fit/un-fat), and puts it off until,..."someday", when she won't look so lard-ass.
I think it's gross because 1) Um, hello, MOM?, I, am not really interested in how ATTRACTIVE you are.K?K.
and
2) We haven't seen eachother in half a decade.
Does this mean that Feta cheese, Sweet Rolls and her own Vanity are more important to her than face-time with her own favorite son?
But that's partially MY thing, 'cause no WAY do I want to pay money to go back to depressing as Hell IDAHO for a few days to hang with my fat-ass MOM!, let them come to "Paradise on Earth" Seattle. Right?, and bask in the glory of my wirey physique.
See how weird that is?
LMMFWAO! Hahahahahahahah
sounds about right.sinewave said:this is the way i see it. anne coulter was probably raised in a wealthy, conservative family in connecticut or on long island by a fridged, alcoholic mother and a distant, selfish father and she devolved into an educated, sociopathic sensationalist with an enormous ego and an intense case of paranoia with a touch of dementia.

Yeah, like I said...I haven't heard a peep from her for a couple of years. I was just saying, when I used to hear her on a "sort-of" regular basis, she at least sounded smart.bored said:It may not be wise to be so, dare I say, liberal with that reverence. Whatever you may remember about her from way back when, it doesn't show in her, now. I've read entire columns by her where she never makes a point about anything, just makes bad jokes about Democrats.
To me that sounds awesome.bored said:Sense is irrelevant to her, as long as whatever she says can piss people off, frustrate them, or both. She just did an interview on "Today" where she ended by asking Lauer where Katie Couric (who she's never gotten along with) was. Why? Because it could annoy him (he'd dared to question some of the statements in her most recent book). Being obnoxious and asinine is all Ann Coulter has.
this has to be the best "your mom" jokeCarter said:
Wilhelm-Scream said:Are you insane?
She TOtally hates Liberalism and thinks that it's an inordinately huge factor in "the downfall of America as it should be".
Please.
You're probably one of these ostriches that thinks Glen Danzig isn't really HARD CORE in RL.
Superman said:Ann Coulter lambasts some 9/11 widows
NEW YORK - The group of outspoken 9/11 widows who pushed for the commission to investigate the attacks are "self-obsessed" and act "as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them," conservative author Ann Coulter charges in her new book
Coulter appeared on NBC's "Today" show on Tuesday, marking the release of "Godless: The Church of Liberalism" and reiterated her stance, saying the women used their grief "to make a political point."
In her book, Coulter said, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."
The women are Kristen Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg and Patty Casazza of New Jersey. Coulter refers to them as the "Witches of East Brunswick," the New Jersey town where two of them live.
"Having my husband burn alive in a building brought me no joy," Van Auken told the Daily News in Wednesday's editions in response to Coulter.
"She sounds like a very disturbed, unraveled person," Breitweiser said.

You didn't see Pearl Harbour widows coming out demanding an investigation into their loss.
Man-Thing said:that's not even what she is saying
She's saying that just because they have lost someone in a terrorist event it shouldn't exclude them from being questioned.
beautiful key-words there.Truthteller said:I don't pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do."
Truthteller said:I like Ann Coulter. Always have. She is tough, smart and brave.
And by smart, I mean very smart. Brilliant in fact.
Not only is she correct in her understanding of humanity and human society, she knows how to operate tactically. And that is why she is so provacative. Bleeding hearts hate her because they respond emotionally to her. Use reason, and her positions make sense.
She knows what she is doing: "Coulter relishes her reputation as a controversial speaker, telling The Sunday Times of London in 2002, "I am a polemicist. I am perfectly frank about that. I like to stir up the pot. I don't pretend to be impartial or balanced, as broadcasters do."" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter
