Ann Coulter

I've read Ann Coulter's book "Godless the Church of Liberalism," before coming to college. I thought she was a little bit extreme. Her book really is entertaining, sometimes I'm not sure if I was laughing at her or laughing with her...

Ann Coulter pretty much says whatever she feels like, whenever she feels like saying it. She lacks tact. She really thinks she has clout in the media because people read her books, she thinks she has some real ethos. Well, after watching the video clips I realized that her attitude and tone are condescending and defensive. You get the impression that she hates anyone that thinks differently from her, and that she believes others hate her because she is different.

When Mrs. Edwards called in and politely asked Ann to stop making personal attacks against her husband, Ann response is confusing for me. She says something about a joke she made six months ago and how they have been making money from it. I didn't really understand that. Then, she denies ever talking poorly about Mr. Edwards. She then says something about the Edwards choosing to exploit poor people or something, nothing relates to what Mrs. Edwards called into the show to say. It was clear that Ann wouldn't admit that she made a mistake or that Mrs. Edwards could have a valid point. I was really surprised that she just kept rambling on about how Mrs. Edwards doesn't support her freedom to speak. It was clearly begging the question and using cirular claims about the Edwards. She even threw in something about the Edwards' making money off of her website. It's clear that Ann was just avoiding the original issue of talking poorly about Mr. Edwards.
