Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There is no individual in contemporary America who is as derided and despised by the left than Ann Coulter. She is the object of constant ridicule which is a direct result of her efforts to combat them. So hated is she that when one attempts to defend her, many of her enemies will be tranferred over to you. I recall a time that I reviewed Slander and received hate mail that mostly attacked Ann. One memorable piece of mail accused me of being gay because I loved Coulter who was obviously a transsexual (in this person's sick opinion). There is no question though that conservatives need people like Coulter as much as she needs The New York Times. The bombshell pundit exerts pressure that widens the boundaries of what is acceptable to discuss and what is not in our society. In this film, she even defends the undefendable such as "wars for oil" beging legitimate. She is the true Queen of Political Incorrectness and her rants, speeches, writing, and argumentation provides considerable benefit to the rest of us as she extends the ground in which we can maneuver. Coulter loves to bait her enemies and there's no better example of this than in her "convert them to Christianity" line after 9/11. No one, including me, would agree with her, but I bet that she doesn't believe in a US sponsored crusade herself. The only reason that she said it was to provoke and anger her opponents. She suceeded in this endeavor admirably. What is so interesting about this documentary is the way in which her enemies are filmed and their arguments are included in the body of the narrative. My favorite moment came when a kid approached her wanting his t-shirt signed. It read "Traitor" so Coulter penned the words "Have Fun in Guantanamo" onto it. Divine wit. Without all of the Mein Kampf carrying leftists, this film wouldn't have been half as good. My only reservation about Is it True... concerns its length. A subject like this one deserves more than 37 minutes.
