It's ok, because if Ann Coulter had a brain she wouldn't be able to sell books

For those of you unfamiliar with Ann Coulter, she was recently in the news for stating in an interview with representatives from the New York Observer concerning her most recent book If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans, that Bill Clinton deserves "a lot" of the accountability for 9/11, that Democrats are practicing a "primitive religion" when dealing with global warming and (my favorite) that a woman's right to vote should be revoked. those highlights are outlined here.

I was first introduced to Ann Coulter when I ran into some of her books in the Minneapolis airport such as How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter and Godless: The Church of Liberalism. Now they say you can't read a book by it's cover, but I must comment that when a book is extraordinarily shallow it's quite easy to do exactly that. While I myself am a Democrat, there are many whom I know personally that consider themselves Moderates or Republicans who would wholeheartedly disagree with many of Coulter's insane viewpoints. Even some of the more extreme Republicans I have run into and talked to about Coulter can see how blatantly offensive she is.

The point I'm slowly coming to is Ann Coulter was never introduced to the concept of altruism. If it wasn't for this very concept, society would not have gotten to the point it is at now. In more primitive societies this is easily seen without the many layers of complication that we see when looking at our society. In more primitive cultures those experiencing great bounties of food tend to share with others experiencing a shortage. If you would like further information, feel free to turn to Wikipedia on Altruism.

I agree that in society, there are many with the ability to mooch off the system without contributing which is never a good scenario, and I agree that this is something that should be fought against. There are those that are unable to contribute with their current abilities though, specifically children. Ann Coulter's greatest gripe concerning women voting is summed up in her quote made for the sake of mockery which is as follows: "We’ll pay for health care and tuition and day care -- and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?" This (not surprisingly) is the complete misunderstanding for altruism I was referring to.

I don't want to be misinterpreted here, so I will point out that I don't feel that these "soccer moms" as she puts it have a RIGHT to monetary support, but they do deserve a voice because their concerns are very much valid. I would also like to point out that stating "women are voting so stupidly, at least single women" is a very offensive stereotype, and while there may be information that points to the trend of women voting blue and it may warrant a loose generalization (i.e. Single women tend to vote for a Democratic candidate), It will never warrant blatant libel (i.e. "stupidly.")

I myself could postulate that Ann Coulter herself is simply so self-centered that nobody could tolerate her long enough to have a meaningful relationship, and due to her jealousy of those who can concern themselves with others, she lashes out at them constantly. I could even go on to evidence this by the fact that at the age of 46, she has never been married, only in a string of broken engagements. I will not, however make that statement because I do not know Ann Coulter personally nor her motivation for writing what she does. Additionally, I would never attach a slanderous remark to anyone based upon one or even a combination of party affiliation, race, gender, sex, religion, or any other insignificant detail of persona.

It is very true though that I will judge someone based upon their credibility and statements they have made, and for this Ann Coulter has no room to move out of the way. Her ideas are nothing but bigoted slander simply made for shock value. Her viewpoints are so extreme they cross into territory considered ridiculous and stupid by the vast majority.

This quite unfortunately fills a niche for those with similar bigoted and extremist viewpoints who are smart enough to keep their mouths closed. Because Ann Coulter is one of the only people actually going on record as a bigot, she has the entire audience at her attention. Now if Coulter had a decent head on her shoulders, she would have far different opinions and be one of a much larger pool of individuals trying to fill an already saturated niche which brings me around to the point of this post:

As a tribute to the stupidity of Ann Coulter and her most recent book...

If Ann Coulter had a brain, she wouldn't be able to sell books.
