Really Funny, If It Weren't So Scary
Here's the book in under a minute.
"Liberals are stupid and the stupidest thing they do is call Republicans stupid because we're smarter than they are."
That's the book. Really. I'm not kidding.
She's very precise about how horrible Liberals are. "Liberals hate America, they hate "flag-wavers," they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam (post 9/11). Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do. They don't have the energy. If the had that much energy, they'd have indoor plumbing by now."
Coulter includes 35 pages of footnotes painstakingly documenting her documentation of Liberal wrongs. She must have learned in college that the more footnotes you use, the more impressive your paper looks and the less likely the professor is going to read the footnotes. But following the footnotes yields untold treasures. The best/worst is citing a gossip column in the Boston Globe that trashed Katherine Harris because of her make-up. Does this pass anyone's standard for journalism?
Here's her paraphrase of Jerry Falwell blaming 9/11 on gays and lesbians - "Falwell, it seems, had remarked that gay marriage and abortion on demand may not have warmed the heart of the Almighty."
This is entertainment. There's not a trace of plausible political thought in the book. If you read the Weekly World News, think of Ed Anger in a dress. As she says herself "A guy in a dress is hilairous".(p. 17)
