Ann shares the idea of victumhood. It is depended on who or what the parties involved are. If bad things happen to a black republican, it is not an example of a victum. If the same thing happens to Gov Palin, she is not a victum.
I don't disagree with everything Ann Coulter says but I seldom can agree with her spirit.
I have never watched Ann Coulter (or heard a quote from her books) that didn't turn my stomach with the spirit in which she presents her thoughts.
I find it unbearable.
I hear you. I will defend her in one way. I will give 2 examples. If we have a booze or crime buddy and have to confront him and get him to treatment, we may have to do an in his face intervention. It is very confrontational. Subtle and soft approach will never work.
If we are dealing with liberals that are aggressive and in your face radicals like the saul alinksy crowd, a blunt and sharp toungue gets the message to some that can't get it another way.
Jonah and John the baptizer are 2 examples.
her audience is not gentle spirited soft spoken rational people at all.
She is a lawyer and can do a number on Matt lauer or a liberal news host.
It seems handy for liberals to call folks out as mentally un balanced based on facts they express.
THE DSM IV doesn't have mentally un balanced as a psych label.
Liberals call conservative outlets unbalanced.
Conservatives call liberal outlets unbalanced.
The Balanced call out outlets on both sides of the spectrum when need be. There's nothing like the partisan polarizing voices to keep blind partisan loyalty alive and well while the country goes down the drain.

Good points. In an earlier comment the word "mentally" was inserted before unballanced.
Coulter used the concept in her earlier book. Evolutionists say every scientist believes in evolution. If you dn't, you are not a scientist. If one disagrees with a certain political view point, they must be mentally unballanced because mentally healthy people could only see the same facts the same way.

Using your analogy, the approach that political parties are using to their advantage is that everyone who believes in "evolution" must be a scientist...and that if you're not a scientist, you must not believe in "evolution". They use this to garner blind support and allegiance whether they intend to do anything about "evolution" or not.
(If you can catch my drift)

I really like Anne Coulter--however, she is, without a doubt, a strong personality, and in her field, she has to be.
Like Rush, she sometimes goes over the top, and that can be annoying--and probably alienates people she might otherwise be able to influence with her political views.
She's definitely a smart cookie. The description "mentally unbalanced" doesn't even apply.

Excellent post.
That would be great. Hopefully I'll be able to get to one of the AFF get-togethers and meet a bunch of people. I was hoping that some may be at the South Texas Ladies' Conference, but I guess not.
