To The People Of Islam:
Just think: If we'd invaded your countries, killed your leaders and converted you to Christianity YOU'D ALL BE OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
Merry Christmas

-- Ann Coulter, December 29th, 2004.

Is she trying to be funny? I can never tell with the right.

One is tempted to respond that if we admitted that we had no business in Iraq, our soldiers would be opening Christmas presents at home instead of being killed by suicide bombers. I think that the American right subscribes to the "all humor is cruel" doctrine.

The thing that bugs me most about the woman is that when you go to Borders her books are sorted under "Political Science" while Al Franken's are in "Humor".

The people at Borders want you to believe that they're the only ones who are able to move the books around, but they're wrong.

With that dingbat, it's probably a combination of seriousness (the kind which got her column booted from National Review) and humor.

The proper term might be "kidding on the square."

I had never heard that term before. Fortunately, Wikipedia saved me again.

Unfortunately, I think she is serious. Scary.

Coulter is *always* trying to be funny, but she does it to express actual ideas she has. you should hear her talk about Canada.

Is she trying to be funny? yes and no. Yes, in that she'll claim she was, no in that it's the sort of "hey, I was just kidding, can't you take a joke?" crap that most people who enjoy causing psychological pain pull.

It's not that she scares me, it's that she's a bestselling author and has legions of fans that scares me. Have you heard what she has to say about GLBT people?

hmmm...
for what it's worth,
the difference between
Croatians and Serbians
is that Croatia was conquered by Catholics,
and Serbia was conquered by Moslems...
as for ann,
whether trying to be or not,
she is both funny and frightening...
