Believe me - I'm not against anyone using a poetic license or exaggeration to make a point. I just think the nature - of the realm of life - in which she does so is, what I'd call, "evil."
I wouldn't mind so much if there weren't people out there on both sides who actually agree with the satirist, hyperbolic & sensationalist pundits VERBATIM. That's both sad and scary.
Hm. I wonder if folks who are so dull-witted that they are at risk of taking her literally are also the kinds of people who read political commentary at all?
Look at political message boards for all the answers, on that question, that you need![]()
I don't think the comparison is all that apt.
I see a few folks with wit posting on places like USMB, but nothing like the consistent output of pieces we see from folks like Coulter.
And if somebody is moved to action by the words of Coulter, then they must not be smart enough to appreciate that she's engaged in political commentary in the first place.
