people like ann coulter

well, to be honest, mainly ann coulter. the latest headlines are about how she has now insulted the jewish community by saying that in her ideal world they would become "perfected" by converting to xianity. to a fundamentalist xian, that is often a perfectly reasonable, and loving desire. ms coulter, however, seems somewhat disingenuous to me. according to al franken, it is a regular tactic for her to say something provocative, then claim to be a victim when the response is negative. rather than summarise franken's observations about her, please read the whole opening statement that he made last year when he debated her in los angeles. it is here. i'm really not so worried about the ann coulters of this country. i'm glad we have free speech, and i would rather have perspectives alien to my own out in the open than being spread covertly. as far as i'm concerned, coulter is just the flip side of howard stern.
