What do conservatives think of Ann Coulter?

Question

Liberals obviously don't think much of her. But does anyone actually find her appealing?

Followup: if conservatives also don't like her, why does anyone put up with her? Is it sabbotage by the liberal media machine, i.e. picking an abbrasive clown to represent the conservative viewpoint?

Answer 1

Ann Coulter is awesome.

She obviously does not speak for all people...not even all conservatives...but she does reflect the views of many of us.

Her commitment to not being PC is unwavering. Even when I disagree with her (which is not often at all) I love her just for that reason alone.

Answer 2

She is more of an emotional firebrand than a real intellectual. Most conservatives admire the way she gets under the skin of the left, but don't necessarily approve of her often tactless and confrontational approach.

Answer 3

I think that's the wrong question. You should have asked if they think of her at all. In fact, I've never seen a publican blogger write anything about her at all. But I guess you wouldn't bring up a subject that was embarrassing to your political party...

Answer 4

She is actually very humorous. Had she not chosen political satire I would have expected her to be in stand-up comedy. She reminds me of Dennis Leary or Bobby Slayton.

Answer 5

I am a liberal libertarian, and I'd tap that.

But she is only a firebrand in the same way Michael Moore is a firebrand, they make outrageous statements to get media attention in order to sell their books and movies..

Answer 6

I'm liberal and hate her, of course. My Republican family members don't like her much either. They are old-fashioned family values people and are very polite. A think a fringe element watches her.

Answer 7

I used to think she was really smart (as a young conservative) and knew her stuff. I still think she knows her stuff but I'm starting to disagree with her more on certain stuff.

I'm still a conservative by the way.
