Ann Coulter: Al Gore
built 116 days ago
Ann Coulter is hilarious and usually right on point. You all need to be a little more broad minded, like many NPR you claim to be. There can be no sacred cows, including all those from San Francisco, Greenwich Village and Key West.

Wednesday February 13, 2008 by Ann Coulter -- A few more primary wins and B. Hussein Obama will be able to light up a cigarette during a televised speech and still get the nomination. It looks like the only thing that can stop him now is an endorsement from Al Gore.
When you're out to dinner tonight, it's likely the conversation will surround two things: Ann Coulter's controversial remarks on Christians and Jews and second, Former Vice President Al Gore winning the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his global warming awareness efforts. Tonight on "The Big Idea," Donny sits down with both of these individuals and finds out what makes them tick and what drives their passion.

Coulter's cheerleading on behalf of Sen. Joseph McCarthy and "his brief fiery ride across the landscape," as she puts it, is what has her critics most exercised. Doesn't she understand, they ask, that McCarthy wasn't an anti-Communist at all but a dangerous outrider who harmed a noble cause by defaming and giving ammunition to the left? Again they're right—but only on rather drearily familiar grounds. Coulter is closer to the truth on the big question, McCarthy's actual place in the conservative pantheon. For many years he was precisely the GOP folk hero she says—a pivotal figure who invented the inside-the-Beltway insurgency that has been the party's staple for half a century now, currently embodied by flame-throwers like Tom DeLay.

Coulter sometimes goes too far for even the crass standards of today's political climate -- Sen. Jack Reed berated her on the Senate floor for her malicious distortion of Max Cleland's war injuries.

More than one Republican may sometimes be heard saying, "nobody creates more liberals than Ann Coulter," and the sustained success of anti-Republican, anti-Bush, and anti-Coulter tomes such as Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them in 2003 and 2004 may be evidence. She is of course often accused of not meaning what she says, and will plead that she's stating her opinion "in a lighthearted way" when caught wrong on the facts.

FAIR 20th Anniversary Logo Throughout the article, Cloud presented instances where Coulter was allegedly misunderstood or underappreciated. And in each case, Cloud either gave Coulter a pass, or concluded that her opponents were wrong. Cloud generously wrote that Coulter "likes to shock reporters by wondering aloud whether America might be better off if women lost the right to vote"-- as if she writes or speaks such things on national television only to get a rise out of journalists. Cloud ... argued that Coulter can "write about gender issues with particular sensitivity," an odd trait to attribute to someone who recently claimed that women are "not that bright" (
