Well, she's back at it. Ann Coulter will be publishing another book this summer. The only good news: the marketing campaign may just be as asinine as the book. From the publisher:

What is it? The NEW BOOK from Ann Coulter -- her first completely original one since 2003's Treason

What's it about? TOO HOT TO SAY. We can't even mention the title -- but we can attest that it'll be her most important, timely, and controversial book yet.

Yes, it's "thoroughly controversial, entirely confidential." In other words, they have no idea what the hell it's about because she hasn't written it yet, or it's such an empty screed that they're in the tempestuous throes of overhaul editing. But Coulter probably already has a nice fat royalty check in her pocket. Blech.

1. Ask them fundies--666 means sumptin' to them folks! n/t

[MarmiteVarmint]

9. Question for you . . .

New here . . .I see the talk about "fundies"--and by that you mean fundamental religious--how many in the Republican party would you estimate are "fundies"?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

10. I guess 25-30%

but they've been the loudest ones lately, those are the ones you hear 75% of the time. The old-school republicans have been so quiet, maybe they all died off?

[MarmiteVarmint]

13. 2nd

Any of their lot go the other way, you know, atheist?

[BrainRants]

19. I'm guessing less than .5 percent of Republican party is atheist.

Not sure where you're going with your line of questioning. There are fringe members in both parties, however to collude the atheist fringe with the religious fringe in the GOP is disingenuous and misleading.

If you know of a GOP atheist with a dominant voice in the party, please share. I'm neither an atheist nor a Republican but I'd wager the philosophies of both are mutually exclusive.

Ask yourself these questions:

Would the Republican party welcome homosexuals, Muslims, pro-choice advocates?

And by "welcome" I mean would the leadership and rank & file both court and embrace them publicly as they do the religious right. Clearly the answer is no. The dominant voices of the religious right (Robertson, Falwell, Dobson, et al.) remain disproportionately dominant in the GOP to any other group.

IMHO, and with all due respect, Atheists, Muslims, homosexuals, and other minorities are irrelevant to the leadership of the GOP.

And welcome to DU :hi:

25. Hi MarmiteVarmint!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[MarmiteVarmint]

27. How kind of you all . . .

Thanks much for the nice welcome.:hi:

17. it's the mark of the beast

according to revelations.

[babylonsister]

2. Why even advertise it? nt

[norml]

7. To ridicule it by drawing attention to the 666 aspect

of course.

[Maven]

3. Hmm...

4. Her books are bought in bulk and stored to get her sales up anyway.

But it is funny that her book is coming out on Beast Day.

[Bushy Being Born]

21. Wouldn't "Beast Day" be 6/1/06?

Isn't the number of the beast 616, and not 666? Ann the Mann apparently can get nothing right.

[tuvor]

5. Her first completely orignal book since 2003?

You mean she's been plagiarizing the miserable crap she's been publishing since then?

[Dead_Parrot]

6. If it's completely orignal I'll eat my hat and shoes. nt

[bluestateguy]

8. How about Moveon.org organizes house parties for Coulter book burnings?

And don't even go down that 1st Amendment lane either. Private citizens are well within their rights to demonstrate against an author by burning her books.

[crizzo5137]

12. just...not cool dude...

get the book from the library <hell, dont buy it and give that bitch any money> and read it and refute it...

burning man? thats just wrong...she has every right to publish her b/s...and you have the right to rip her lies a new one...

[norml]

14. That would be dumb. Better to burn her in effigy, if you've got to burn

something.

[Erika]

11. Coulter is in as is O'Lielly sex phone conversations

Sicko right wingers.

[shenmue]

15. It should be obvious

We all know she's the devil, but at least she's using this little public gesture to remind us.

:7

[rucky]

16. Probably a jab from the publishers

I doubt the she-devil had any say in it.

[BlueManDude]

18. "How to Kill a Liberal - if you can stand getting that close" n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. Saying it's Recycled Bile just won't sell.

Looks like it'll be the same old same old, another warehouse full of unread books for the Scaifes to mind.

[Iris]

22. Oh, God. She has ANOTHER pack of lies to sell?

Yuck. I'm not looking forward to this hype.

[lpbk2713]

23. The numbers coincide with her measurements.

[Minnesota Libra]

24. Could she be the version of the anticrhist, from........

......that face it seems possible to me.:shrug: I've never seen a face on a female that looked more like a male.:puke:

[Katherine Brengle]

26. ew... i definitely need to write a book, lol.

[thinkingwoman]

28. She wants so much to be the devil

but she'll never be more than just a minion--a whiny, pissant minion at that.
