She does have a high IQ and good reasoning ability; knows her Constitutional law and that. She does debate well if you can stand to listen to it.
But I consider her to be a liability to Conservatives because of the shrewishness and unapologetic elitism. | |

I have listened long and hard whenever I have seen her on television. I saw her throw a hissy fit on TV when someone totally called her on her bullshit. I have not seen any sign of intelligence whatsoever. Sorry.

Level up: 32%, 131 Points needed | | You know, I don't necessarily want to be in the position of defending Ann Coulter, but people see what they want to see.
There is no point in pretending someone is stupid when they are not.
That is like someone who, for example, could not stand the Osmonds lol back in the 1970s...
So they say, "These two can't dance to save their lives".
Well, they could dance; they had a talent for dancing.
The person just didn't happen to like their STYLE of dancing.
And that is the case with Ms. Coulter and myself:
I think she is very bright, but I find her style contemptible.

I wish I was as untalented as they are.

Hey, she sells books like crazy and is all over the place. She's smart enough to be making lots and lots of money - kind of like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
They're probably nowhere near as obnoxious - in person - as their on-air persona. | |

Hahaha. Seriously though... you are probably right. She found a method that sells and went with it.
