I didn't like Ann Coulter to begin with, but I swear this woman has absolutley no shame when it comes to making enflaming remarks to benefit her own bottom line! I can't believe how she rips on the Edwards family, and pours salt in the wound of the loss of their son Wade! I think she is mean and hateful, and I for the life of me can't understand why anyone would fuel her campaign of hate by even listening to her or buying one of her books. What happened in her life that made her such a witch?!

I don't know much about her, but I am convinced that the majority of what comes out of her mouth is nothing more than a cheap attempt to sell books. I also think that she is a bit of an attention hog. She just wants to hear and see her name in the media. She doesn't seem to care how low she has to sink to do it.

You hit the mail on the head, she doesn't care how low she has to sink. And just when you think she can't go any lower, she does! It's a shame our media thrives on such sensationalism, otherwise she wouldn't have he forum she does.

She's saying what her followers want her to say. I don't like her or what she stands for. I also think she's a witch. But how is she any different from those stand-up comedians who put down people and call them names? Coulter even claims she's joking. Any party who wants any part of her I will not support. Ever notice how Sean Hannity oohs and aaahs over her. I swear he needs a dribble bib when Coulter comes on to Hannity and Colmes. What I really hate is when someone calls her card, she claims what she says is the truth, but she can never cite her sources. So what is it, Ann? A joke or the truth?

The difference between Mann Coulter and a stand up comedian is that a comedian is supposed to be funny. Coulter isn't funny(unless you find humor in the anorexic scarecrow in an evening gown look). She is nothing more than Paris Hilton trying to seem intelligent.

Mann Coulter! LOL I don't know how anyone could think she is joking. The things that come out of her mouth are hurtful. And it's true she can never cite sources, which just leads me to believe, "just a persona" or not, that she is living in her own bubble.

I saw a TV show this morning where Mrs. Edwards gave her a piece of her mind. If it was me I would have curled up in shame when Mrs. Edwards got through with me.

Any normal person would have curled up in shame and apologized, but not Ann! She just kept smiling and laughing and trying to talk over Mrs. Edwards. She is the epitamy of cold, heartless and insensitive.

I just saw her on Fox news, surprisingly O'Reilly was giving her quite a hard time, maybe to try and convince people they are 'fair and balanced'. Which we all know is complete rubbish. I hope she doesn't concider herself a professional journalist because she has no objectivity at all. And I bet she really doesn't mind having to backtrack on all the hatefull things she says because at the end of the day she's getting exactly what she wants from it and that's sales of her hateful books. I can't stand Conservatives who focus more on what's wrong with Liberalism than what's good about Conservativism, or visa versa.

Hiya stranger! You made a good point, there does seem to be a lot of Conservatives that point out what's wrong with Liberals and visa versa. I wonder how much we could get accomplished as a society if that energy was spent on other more meaningful things. Cripes, I've even quit watching Nancy Grace becasue I'm tired of her pushing aside decent stories to showcase garbage like Paris Hilton. I guess I'm gonna be all Anderson Cooper from now on! LOL

Lol I know, it's so stupid when you see 'News Alert!' come up and it's something about paris hilton or some celebrity, celebrities are not news! Just like our tabloids fill their front pages with 'shocking news that will shame' lindsey lohan and all those little brats. It doesn't shame them, it gives them more attention to do more idiotic stuff! I despise britney spears who jumped on that bus of purposely exposing herself because she saw exactly what attention it got paris and lindsey. They all sell themselves sexually with their 'leaked' home videos and all that rubbish. Sorry, kinda ranted off topic but yeh, the news is terrible and has no credibility.

Obviously you dont understand her. She is playing to her fans. Hate sells to them. If you buy her book you are saying that hate speech is good and you shouldnt allow anyone else a platform to rebut it.

I understand that she is playing to her fans, what blows me away is that she has any fams to begin with! What is so great about a mouthy, hate spewing woman? She is entitled to her opinions, nut to make light of tragic losses the way she does is in my mind, despicable. She won't get a dime from me.

Isn't she a mess?! She is like a train wreck: You don't want to watch, yet you just can't turn away. I did not see the segment that you mention. If I see her on TV I immediately change the channel. Personally, I think she is a very sick person who needs psychological help. If that is the only way she knows how to make money, then she needs to go back to school and learn an honest trade! LOL It won't surprise me if someday I hear that someone has tried to kill her!

ann coulter is a man in disguise. I swear that song "Dude, looks like a lady" totally applies to her, or should I say him.

Some people are just evil, and I don't have time for people like that. Why do people think they need to rip up another to better themselves? Why don't they realize they are doing the total opposite, and making themselves look bad?

She may make herself look bad, but it depends on who you ask. I hate to say it but I really have to question the intelligence of her fans.

Okay I just viewed the clip on youtube.com. It's hard to watch Coulter because she doesn't let anyone else get a word in edgewise. She interrupts. A lot. Very obnoxious! But she kept saying how John Edwards' capmaign is using her comments to raise campaign money. So then I checked out John Edwards' website and they have the clip on there, saying "It's up to us to raise the dialogue by taking our message straight to voters. Let's show that Ann Coulter style politics will never carry the day.We have 4 days to reach $9 million. Please donate today". I totally agree with Elizabeth Edwards that Ann Coulter's remarks are disgusting, but I sure as heck wouldn't then go and put her face on my website. Why are they giving this woman more publicity? Ann Coulter isn't running for president!

It's all about the money, soccermom. Ann Coulter rakes in big bucks based on her personna. I haven't heard what she said to Elizabeth Edwards but I will check Youtube and see if I can find the clip. I agree with you, she's very nasty and very negative! But she's smarter than me because she's a millionaire and I'm not, lol

I wish I'd have seen this discussion in the beginning too! I can't add a whole lot to what's already been posted here except to say I'm stunned that there have been a few who have defended her. Unbelieveable! Annie

You won't get any argument from me, but I heard from a source who has had contact with her that she is really nothing like she appears. She created this personna and it garners her a lot of attention which reflects in her book sales. She is the one that many love to hate and apparently, she doesn't mind as she is probably smiling all the way to the bank.

Ann Coulter is someone with incredibly low esteem where she feels the need to denigrate someone else in order to elevate herself. I remember when she called anyone concerned about the environment a "religious nut". Equating religion and the envrionment. Very interesting. She is hurtful and should be thankful she does life in a country where she had the freedom to express herself. We have control over the remote control and I excercise it when she talks. I commend Elizabeth Edwards for standing up to Ann. Ann proved herself a fool.
