Why does Ann Coulter wonder why her article was shelved?

All the "I don't get it" complaints make the piece a hell of a lot funnier than the original. They should just print it like that, with all the complaints intact.

As the Human Events piece states, somehow I imagine they will "get" all of Michael Moore's jokes.
Let's take a moment to put Ann Coulter into context:
"Here at the Spawn of Sony convention at Gaming-Age, the hardcore are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like Nintendo fans do. My allies are the ones wearing Die Hard Game Fan t-shirts and Neo-Geo lapel pins. The people sporting shirts emblazened with the Metal Gear Solid exclamation mark are my opponents. Also, as always, the tagged members and the mods are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling..."

I wish I could file reports like that from E3.
Sheesh, I dunno which is more spiteful or full of hate, the article or the responses to it? Putting that article into the context of a bright and funny Coulter, and seeing the reactions here, I can't help but see her real intentions. Pity too.. she could put her talents to far better use than baiting half-wits imho.

Seems pretty obvious...
She does, though. She's a fantastic researcher, which any non-crazy person who reads her books has to admit.

This was released after she was taken off the conservative National Review.
I honestly think she's really really vicious. I mean.... who would attack Princess Diana like that a week after her freaking funeral!?!
The Wisdom of Ann Coulter
Here's my theory on Ann Coulter:
She's the smartest person on the planet, and I'll tell you why: I truly don't believe she believes what she says; she writes it for the single purpose of jerking off the radical right, who also happen to be very, very wealthy. They buy her shit in DROVES, she gets money, they get circle-jerk material for their private clubhouses on restricted golf courses, everybody wins.

IAWTP. She really is a real-life "joke character".xsarien said:
BTW, comparisons between Coulter and Michael Moore are half-baked at best. Even if you don't place stock in either of them, Moore's humor is much more subtle and subdued (I doubt he will begin his coverage of the RNC by calling it the "Spawn of Satan convention"), and he comes off as much less of a fanatic as she does. As someone else mention, Bill O'Reilly would be a better fit...or, if you absolutely had to pick someone from the left, Al Franken would do in a pinch.

"Slannder." Tee hee.
The great thing about that website is all the times when the author says things like "Now, on the basic facts here, Coulter is correct, but..." and then tries to show how she's misinterpreting them or what. Most of what I just read was all opinion on the part of the 'debunker.' I didn't see a single factual error. Just disagreements on what the things she found in her research mean, which is irrelevant to whether or not they are facts.

"The swing voters---I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster. "
......wow.....I need to frame this quote and hang it on my wall. Better yet, we should put this quote in a fucking time capsule so that every generation to come can have this quote as a shining example of what not to strive for in government.
God damn....

DAH!
Thanks for freaking me out man.
"Democrats are constantly suing and slandering police as violent, fascist racists -- with the exception of Boston's police, who'll be lauded as national heroes right up until the Democrats pack up and leave town on Friday, whereupon they'll revert to their natural state of being fascist, racist pigs."
Hahah so true.
Hahah so true.

I think a comma belongs before the "or", if I'm reading that correctly. Which would mean she's saying that only conservatives have an IQ above a toaster.levious said:

This is true. It's just that sometimes, she too vicious.
I will say though, that the vast majority of people who hate her, and call her an evil cunt, are those that are on the opposite side of her political affiliation. Many of them are also the same people who think F911 revealed "the real truth"
I'm a conservative, but I know she's evil.
The Bible talks about people like her. Note that I haven't said anything bad about her, because I know that she will get what she deserves on Judgement Day. She's gonna be sauted in Hell for a couple of billion yea-scratch that, I mean eternity. And y'know what? She deserves it!

I wouldn't go that far. I will say that she lacks love though, which makes any other virtues she may possess worthless according to the Bible. She's in a though position though, one where she points out a lot of crap, but instead of just pointing things out, she's become hateful of her enemies (in all fairness though, who hasn't). I can deal with a few jokes now and then, and even find her funnny sometimes, but there are times when reading her columns that I cringe.

No, actually, most of her research consists of basic searches through news archives - and once she gets the results, she spins them out of control and then laces them with the typical tired insults and lies. Eg. when she accused Katie Couric of calling Ronald Reagan an idiot, when in reality Couric was quoting a person she was interviewing - an interview that earned her a thank you from Nancy Reagan, BTW.
