Coulter: Add hypocracy to felony
Recently on this blog, Ann Coulter's character was taken to task for her white powder stunt with the NYT. Here's another hole in her constitution as revealed in a recent AOL news interview.
Bethanne Patrick: It's very creepy to read an entire book (Godless) that has so much anger in it, but at the same time is written by a smart woman. What has no one asked you that you would like to answer? All this last week there's been this swirl about plagiarism and then not plagiarism, and on and on. What would you like to say?
Coulter: don't think I'm angry at all. I make points, I make a few jokes. I think I write it in a way that amuses me and my friends. I don't think there's any anger there, and in fact, one of my comedy-writing friends has an idea for a sketch where you'd have a calm, happy conservative being interviewed by a liberal, brow-beating and yelling at the conservative, and continuing to say, 'She's so angry! There's so much anger here!'
If her style amuses her and her friends, it speaks volumes to her hypocrisy and poor taste. Her tactics of misrepresentation (if not wanton disregard for the facts) and attempted humiliation of liberals are as anti-Christian as it gets. Furthermore, to mask incivility as promulgation of Christians fighting for converts is a bastardization of the Christian tenants of "do unto others," show mutual respect and kindness. For Coulter, her principle M.O. is a considerable deviation of the Christian tenant taking the form of "do unto others, do it quick, and with complete disregard for facts or reality." Essentially, she is a reincarnation of the fellow travelers of the vintage '60's John Birch Society who penned such completely discredited hubris as "None Dare Call It Treason" below which all of Coulter's books have fallen.
