Bill, why have you read two of her books & do read her column? She’s not intelligent as any cursory reading of her work can show.

As for the media, they are hardly liberal. Most of American media are controlled by huge conglomerates that are conservative in nature.

As far as fear, I find clowns to be scary, but I don’t really fear them. Same deal here.

padraig mentioned Randi Rhodes, but I just don’t see her comments in the same league as Coulter’s. Additionally … Randi definitely does not get the kind of coverage Coulter does.

As far as this being a liberal love fest goes. I will admit that most people who frequent this site seem to have a liberal political philosophy. But I can assure you there are no nefarious plots to keep conservatives away. Besides, there have been on occasion, some fairly heated discussions — The New Yorker cover with Obama as a Muslim comes to mind. During that discussion, issues of race and journalistic fairness were discussed, and even though these can be inflammatory topics, the discussion remained civil. Frankly, I think this site attracts smart people regardless of their political leaning, and in general smarter people tend to be more civil.

The law is anti-choice? That’s not really true. You can do whatever you want as long as you’re prepared to deal with the consequences. Besides, if anyone could do what they wanted, that’d be anarchy. I’m not sure that would end well.

Also, just to be more of an asshole:

“And, mdgoldrush1984, the reason this discussion hasn’t turned to mud throwing is because the posters on this forum are mostly liberal. How could it be anything but a “me too” lovefest?”

Well, Todd, that’s the kind of inflammatory language that got Coulter/Limbaugh/Malkin/Hannity famous.

Damn liberals, thinking that everyone should be equally.

By the way, isn’t the law very much anti-choice? You have to drive your car on the right side of the road, not the left. You can only go this way on these roads, and that way on those. You can park here, but not there. You’re not allowed to take certain drugs at all, and others you can only take if a doctor says you need them. You can’t take a human life (you know what goes here).

Just shows that words have power and how they’re used — whether by the media or by individuals — reveals bias. Ms. Coulter’s use of ‘hate’ and ‘fear’ illustrates more how she views the world than how the world views her.
