To editorialize is one thing, but to find nothing redeeming?

I did not read Al Franken's Book, but I haven't criticized him either!

No Moody, our liberal fellow Americans have not read any of her books. By the same token, I doubt if many of my fellow conservatives have read any of the left's writings either.
There was a time when we at least wanted to learn the views of our opponents - the ones that made sense - so that we could better argue our side against them.
I went to a rally and counter protest recently in Washington and I actually had a civil conversation with a young lady with totally opposite views of my own. But we didn't resort to name calling or insulting each other. I do believe that with more time and in a different setting I could have convinced her of the flaws in the point of view she currently holds.
We must come together, not as groups, but as individuals and discuss our differences.

She does speak alot of truths. If her goal is persuasion I think she is going about it the wrong way. If her goal is to strengthen the conservative ideology among conservatives then she is going about it correctly. She is much like John Stewart of the Daily Show's equal. She delivers her perspective in a funny and logical way. Many people can disagree with her but they cannot ignore her logical conclusions. Just look at the reaction! If her beliefs weren't supported by sound logic she wouldn't get the attention that she does from the left! However, at the end of the day the old saying, "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" is true.

Hey, I've read all her books and have no need to "spew hate" towards such a vaudeville performer...she's sort of the Phyllis Diller or Don Rickles of political commentary, so her inaccurate 'factoids' and weird interpretations of history are just part of the fun. Sad to say, a lot of folks take her as a serious pundit--perhaps because they need to, or perhaps because there aren't too many serious real scholars out there on the GOP circuit. If Coulter's all they can come up with, no wonder the party's in trouble!
She's truly a funny lady--and at times a desperate one. She has to pedal faster and faster to keep from tipping over!

do no longer hate!!! that's incorrect! be conscious: i did no longer say it became right into a sin, purely incorrect! From a liberal. the respond on your question is; NO! i do no longer hate her, remember of actuality; i think of she's surprisingly. yet she is purely too packed with hatred and intolerance for people who do no longer agree along with her and for that; i could very very like the possibility to close her up on national television!! So i could no longer be friends along with her except she heavily replaced her belligerent physique of strategies subsequently, I even have 0 interest in her plagiaristic writings.

Of course not. They get their talking points from the Democratic National Committee or Moveon.org. Listen to the Dems. They all have the same words. It would be uncanny to have 4 people actually say the same thing otherwise.

I have. Well... not read it, but listened to a book on CD of How To Talk to A Liberal...
I had to turn it off after about four chapters. It was really really offensive.

They're mad about 2 things,
1.She tells the truth
2.They can't tax her earnings at the rate they'd like to.
Those two things really upset them,they get rid of the stress by calling names.

I would rather read books by historians and famous political figures from the past instead of shrill talking heads who once our generation is assigned to history will be forgotten like so many yellow journalists from the past...

Nope...With that mouth and her Anti-Democatic hate spewing mind set, We need nothing to do with her, much as you don't like some of our talking heads, and don't tell me you read Al Frankens Book on Rush!
