Ann Coulter as an authoritative voice on the great matters of human culture - oh puleez!
Speaking of USA (even New York Times) best sellers each of the volumes of the psychotic Left Behind series of books by Lahaye and Jenkins were best sellers.

I've seldom watched such vile sentiments as those that Ann Coulter regularly trotted out on the few occasions I witnessed her on Fox News.

Here's a little background on her:

There's a penchant for those involved with the "Fox-Right" in America to trawl through other times and other zeitgeists in an attempt to topple Democrats in this era. Glenn Beck (on Fox News at the time) spent months trying to link Obama to a Communist plot. If my memory serves me, Beck's case rested on Obama's grand-daddy fighting colonialist forces in Africa way back when - or some such wild and wooly premise. This technigue is stock-standard junk right-wing propaganda designed to sway (even further) the Tea Party audience in the US.

The Claim:
“And although some Democrats finally supported the famous Civil Rights Act of 1964, Republicans voted in far greater numbers for it.”

as in Australia the left hate to have their bigotry and hatred exposed. I take it that is why they demonise Coulter.

runner,

You're at it again...

B - is for Bigotry

H - is for Hatred

(runner's Book of Vile Epithets and Insults)

Coulter's line is " vile hate speech". She is noted "for despising anyone politically left of Ronald Reagan". She is "a vitriolic right-wing ideologue".

You may think that is something to revere, but most fair-thinking people reject fundamentalism, whatever form it takes.

Ann Coulter as a source, put on the dunces hat and stand in the corner Ben.
