I saw NOONE bashing any conservatives except the topic Ann C. and slamming her for things she has said. That was the ONLY "theme" in this thread.
And it is true I have conservative friends and not one of them likes Coulter. Very few agree with many of the talking heads as they see them for what they are, people who make millions trying to divide the nation with hate and insults. (There are Libs that do it also, not many... MM is about the only one that ever gets any attention.)
A conservative friend of mine is amazed I listen to Limbaugh because as he put it, "when Rush Started he had a sense of humor, now instead of taking calls and having some fun, he spends all his time in divisive and hate filled monologues." That is partially true, but what sets Limbaugh apart from the rest is that Limbaugh started because he had some good points and noone else did what he was doing.
Now, just like with any other form of entertainment, the boundaries have to keep being broken and people have to keep pushing the "extremes" or lose their audience to someone who will. Hence, Ms. Coulter. She's a woman in a traditionally male venue, so she has to be extreme so that she may be heard and have her audience.
I think AC goes for the Jerry Springer mentality portion of the GOP, just as MM goes for the elitist, holier than thou, Dem. Both have their audiences, both make millions and both truly have more to win the more divided this country stays.
Those of us that are sane and know we all have to live together, realize we have to find compromise and we are tired of the hate filled divisiveness these people preach.
