Mutually Assured Destruction

Digby:

So Coulter is not only attacking liberals these days, but Republicans, war heroes, single mothers, divorcées and their children as well. At some point there is going to be nobody left to buy her books — except for media figures, who apparently continue to believe that she’s just rollicking good fun. But then they love nothing more than kissing up to those who abuse them.

The establishment media also sees Coulter as part novelty, part comedy act. In the media world of false equivalency, they see her as the far-right balance to Michael Moore or Bill Maher. Of course serious fact-checkers and serious satirists/comedians would have serious issues with those comparisons, but facts and reality never stopped the television news people.

    The only air time coulter should get is Craig Ferguson discussing how coulter is really an ugly dude in drag.

    I have been thinking about Ann Coulter and all of the nasty things that she has said (that people are willing to spend money to read), and have come to the inevitable conclusion that all this woman deserves is a hearty yawn. That, and her books landing on the $1.98 table at your local independent bookseller.Really, what is Ms. Coulter capable of doing if we ignored her? Not much.The Minx

    Wow, I just went to the Media Matters site to read the excerpts from her book. They really are the ravings of a lunatic. There are some bad bees living in her head, and its only a matter of time before she has a total meltdown. Even Limbaugh seems a voice of reason by comparison.
