Ann Coulter is an illustration of exactly what is right in America today. It is called free speech, which includes the freedom to be held up to ridicule for what you say. Note Michael Moore, another example of free speech run amok, and Lord bless him for it say I! :D
I find Coulter a bit mean spirited, afflicted by tunnel vision, and a bit shrill, just as I find Naom Chomsky and James Carville a bit much to take for all of their wit. Al Franken, while funny now and again, is a windbag on the order of Rush Limbaugh. Two sides to a coin, those two. They could both use a nice fresh cup of ShutThe#$%&Up, but free speech is their right.
Likewise, Coulter has as much right to be heard as anyone on the Left, Right, or Center. There is obviously an undercurrent of agreement with her on many topics (hell, both she and Hillary bashed Arnold the Governator, thought for different reasons) that you may object to, but as a counterbalance to some of the nonsense from the Left, I'd say she fits perfectly.
Me, I prefer my commentary a little less mean spirited, and a little less tunnel vision impaired. Is your objection that as an intelligent, attractive woman, she should only be a Liberal?
What about Laura Ingraham? She's a bit less shrill, though certainly right of center.
What's the problem here? Does she not fit your preconceived notion of what a conservative is?
