Could I get some people's honest opionions on Anne Coulter's new book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism?"

Question

I just want to see how people are reacting to it. Let me know how you feel about Anne Coulter, her book, Hilary Clinton's coments on the book, Coulter's comments on 9/11 widows, and the media's treatment of the book.

Answer 1

I think the book is typical extreme right-wing garbage. She writes it to pander to the lowest common demoninator within the Republican party...and to get rich. No problem with that, but it's nothing more than that.

Personally, I think she's vile. There's never a decent word come out of that cess-pool of a mouth. She's the one woman that could easily incite me to violence (on her) The book claims "liberalism" as a "religion" that we adhere to must like the conservatives embrace Christianity. That's utter garbage. I don't personaly know anyone that fits her descriptions. If she's a Christian, then Scientology looks better and better all the time.

Let's be honest: Reading a book about religion from Ann Coulter is tantamount to reading a book about dieting from Michael Moore. After all, who wants to be lectured about not being Christian enough by an almost-50 year-old boozehound in a black leather miniskirt who has never been married? Count me as having a healthy skepticism over whether Miss Coulter has saved herself for marriage. Or anything, for that matter.

In Godless, Coulter turns her shrill furnace of brayed invective, fueled by a bottomless quarry of prickly psychological damage, at the most despicable people in the world. No, not the maniacal murderers who flew planes into the World Trade Center towers, but the blameless Americans who had their flesh burned off of their bodies in those buildings -- and the inconsolable spouses they left behind.

Yes, she directs an anger that shirks all management on women whose husbands were murdered on 9/11. Apparently, in Miss Coulter's religion, the meek may inherit the Earth, but not before she's had a shot at making them cry first. With a mouth so busy frothing it apparently has no time to eat, Miss Coulter claims to be livid at these opportunistic widows for being crass enough to remember the event that killed the fathers of their children.

She is also angry at them for being people difficult to hate more publicly. While it is wonderfully entertaining to watch Miss Coulter disingenuously complain that she is somehow unable to criticize people she not only criticizes, but savagely impugns, it is important to remember that this smoke and mirrors Persecution Complex is every bit as important to the theater of right wing punditry as the chandelier is to Phantom of the Opera.

In short, she's a C U N T of the first order

Answer 2

Media is biased against Ann Coulter simply because she's conservative (liberal jokers like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Al Franken are the inverse but get away with equally outragous things said against conservatives - we are conditioned to think liberals aren't controversial).

Ann Coulter is very smart and accomplished. She was a lawyer so she knows her topics, very well. Unlike the stand-up comedians.

If you take away some of her outrageous attacks, she makes very strong, persuasive arguments.

She only attacked the 4 September 11th widows who campaigned for John Kery and blamed Bush for 9/11 (but said nothing about Congress and Clinton).

Hillary sure kept quiet after Ann Coulter pointed out her hypocrisy.

Don't take my word for it, read the book yourself. (And don't let liberals tell you how/what to think, either).

Even if you don't want to buy it, just go to a bookstore and persue through her chapters, Ann Coulter is very smart (and a little nutty).

Answer 3

I think Anne Coulter is probably one of the most Godless people on the planet Earth. I find her comments about 9/11 widows disgusting and immoral. I wish the media wouldn't bring up this kind of garbage. People buy the book because it's controversial. If the media would just leave it alone, then maybe no one would bother buying it.

Answer 4

I believe Ann Coulter is almost always right. Sure, she purposely enflames people for ratings and book sales, but the underlying facts are right on. Liberals like to argue emotions, but not facts. That's why Ann gets them all in a froth.

Lambasting Hillary is only right. Take a close look at Hillary, her life, and the things she's done/not done. And she's absolutely the most horrible role model for women. She just stood around silently while her husband groped (or worse) woman after woman after woman.

The 9/11 widows are vicious women who are capitalizing on the deaths of their husbands, at least to some degree. And Ann is dead-on when she says that liberals are now putting up people to spout their rhetoric who we're not suppposed to criticize. Well, if you step forward and become extremely critcal of a President or a political party, you have to be willing to be criticized in return (don't dish it if you can't take it).

The media, of course, lambasts her and calls for everything short of hanging her (maybe they even called for that, too). I don't pay any attention to the media anymore. They've become rabidly anti-Republican, anti-Christian, and anti-Bush. This from people who are supposed to be impartial, professional journalists. That's just sad.

And, by the way, liberals have been doing what Ann does for years. How about Michael Moore and Al Franken, for just two examples? They only hate it when it's turned back on them.

Answer 5

I can't stand Anne Coulter! I think she is a horrible woman. She doesn't care who she hurts or what she lies about. This book is an outrage! I can't believe any one could be cruel enough to say some of the things she did in that book. It's women like her that make me wish we could set some boundries with the whole "freedom of speech" right. And I'm a woman who tends to lean more on the republican side of social and moral issues! I wish the media hadn't given her so much publicity, even if it wasn't always positive, publicity is publicity.

Answer 6

I believe that she was correct when she said that they are "self obsessed".
I know dozens of people who have lost their best friend or spouse, but I have never seen anybody take it to the level that the 9/11 widows do.
My uncle was the first american ever to be killed by al qaeda. he was shot in the back of the head in 1990. His wife was never given any attention, nor did she try and get any. It was understood that it was a tough time for her, but she continued on.
I have loads of respect for her, since I know what she went through. My dad abandoned me when I was 4. nobody ever gave me any attention and I had lost everything I ever loved by the time I was 12. I knew that I had to play with the cards I was delt, and now Im recovered.
I dont respect them because I know that they could have handled it so much better. If I can handle it better when Im 12, then so can they at 30 and 40 something.

Answer 7

I haven't read it. And I don't intend to either. Ann Coulter is only a mouthpiece for neocons. And since I already know what those assholes think, I have no reason to read her silly little book.

Answer 8

Coulter is a mindless idiot. She got her lawyer degree in a Cracker Jack box. She is a moron, and she only knows how to attack people without facts or merit, and attacks people who doesn't agree with her philosophy. In other words, she is a Neo-Con, and a brainless twit. I haven't, nor will I ever read her garbage, because she is garbage!!!!

My question is who in the hell would sleep with her to get her book published?

Answer 9

I think it is ridiculous. She shouldn't have said those ugly things about the 9/11 widows. She went way too far this time.

Answer 10

Many will answer your question, but few will have read it. Ah, me for one, so I can't comment on the book.
