02/03/2005: "Ann Coulter"

How do people like Ann Coulter gain a following? Do we live in a culture that is so uneducated that they can support the stupidity that comes out of her mouth?

I was watching a show on CBC last week about media bias in the States. There was a particularly funny clip of Ann Coulter insisting that Canada had indeed sent troops to Vietnam to support the States. I found that clip today, and you can check it out here.

Some of her other gems...

" We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war." http://www.nationalreview.com/coulter/coulter091301.shtml

"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01

Hummm.... don't know what version of the Bible she's reading, but mine doesn't read quite like that.

Interested in learning more? Google can provide much more fodder...
