Ann Coulter, no...Peter singer, yes...

:chuckles: I think you over-estimate her prominence outside of your own circles, good sir. You are trying to convince me that she is not a fascist racist - the onus is on you to provide the evidence to counter what I have already seen and heard. Send it to Bob with the cash to ship it to me and then we'll see.

Ann Coulter writes about just about everything Right Wing that I don't like and I still found value in reading someone's views that went against so much of what I believe. It's good to pick up a book you know will piss you off, if at least to see how the ideas are actually put together. In the end, heaven forbid, I actually agreed with Ann on about 10% of what she said. Maybe that puts in the lunatic fringe...among other political beleifs...lol.

I don't disagree with that principle, Maka - it is the very foundation of rational thought to examine the roots of things, even things you'd rather not touch.

The point here is that I will not allow any of my money to go towards funding something that, until it so proven to me otherwise, is tantamount to an attempt to resurrect the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei on American soil (mutating the Republican Party to do so (history does so love irony)).

The socialist public library makes is possible for you to learn without voluntary commitment.

"Arbeit macht frei" Coulter is popular enough that maybe even England will have her in the card catalogue. Hopefully not...please disabuse me.

"Arbeit macht frei"

Hey look ad hominem attack

Did she support internment camps for muslims?

With a nazi slogan? No.
As satire? Kinda.

David Horowitz, however, saw Coulter's words as irony:

I began running Coulter columns on Frontpagemag.com shortly after she came up with her most infamous line, which urged America to put jihadists to the sword and convert them to Christianity. Liberals were horrified; I was not. I thought to myself, this is a perfect send-up of what our Islamo-fascist enemies believe—that as infidels we should be put to the sword and converted to Islam. I regarded Coulter’s phillipic (sic) as a Swiftian commentary on liberal illusions of multi-cultural outreach to people who want to rip out our hearts

Apparently you missed this:

Apparently you missed this:

Watch "The Triumph of Will" and get back to me on Frau Coulter.

So the impression given by the stuff of hers that I see on-line is not the same message as is in her books?

No, it's exactly the same. Some recent book titles? "Slander", "Treason", and my personal favorite, "Demonic". All applied to "the left" as a group without qualification or reason.

Ann is a red meat factory, riling up the suckers with **** I don't even think she believes (look at her personal history, it's pretty clear) in order to make money. At least the actual fascists have integrity.
