Why I Like Ann Coulter

[no_to_war_economy]

.. She's a self-made caricature, a combo of Joe McCarthy and aging, anorexic, blonde supermodel. At least she's original in this respect. But more importantly, I'm thoroughly entertained by her. She makes me laugh. While she has none of the deep morality, innate decency, or wit of the late Lenny Bruce, she, like him, obliterates notions of that horrible falsehood called "nice." This is not a nice world we live in and Annie Coulter proves that the right-wing are not nice people, but racists, homophobes, greedheads, and murderers. Like Lenny, Annie speaks The Truth. For that alone, she serves a crucial purpose, one for which I am grateful.

The next time Annie sticks chopsticks into the collective ear of the left, I suggest that the overly sensitive ignore her. If the Coulters of the world had their way, they'd execute me, but they haven't completely trashed the Constitution just yet. I eagerly await Annie's next performance. It's a grim world and I need the laugh. ..

1. Counterpunch, eh? Never met a Democrat they ever liked.

Although I agree with the writers assessment of Bruce, Coulter's never been acquainted with the truth. Also, people seem to forget that Lenny Bruce was FUNNY.

2. Get real -- a lot of wingnuts take her seriously. Just like limbag

I understand what the author is saying, and most of the time I believe Ann just says crap to get attention whether she believes what she says or not.

But unfortunately a lot of wingnuts are not "Laughing at/with Ann" -- they are taking her nonsense as the truth and a call to action.

(PS I am not big on Counterpunch -- they hate Democrats)
