If that is true it says a lot about the so called conservatives. It has been more than a few years since I was in the academic world. But I still remember the classes on rhetoric and ethical argument. One of the best indicators of someone having a weak position is when they turn to ad hominem, "argument to the person." Attacks on anyone and everyone is Ann Coulter's stock and trade. “Ann Coulter is a very articulate spokeswoman for the conservative view.”???

No wonder the rest of the world thinks we're scumbags. What's also scary is that people still listen to her and think she is right.

I don't think so! Coulter is a representative of the haters; the classic bullies. Duncan Hunter just unmasked himself as yet another one. I invite his district to take notice. I am surrounded by 'conservatives,' and if they were as hateful as this woman, the entire state would be in flames, and nooses hanging from every tree. The conservatives I know are polite, generous, and respectful. This woman is an embarrassment to this country and human species. She should be ignored and marginalized as an obvious wacko. She isn't the voice of anyone but the haters - and they are a loud, nasty bunch. The bullies of our childhood grow up into these <em>things;</em> still bashing others in an attempt to make themselves feel important. The more she attacks, the more desperate she appears.
