Your comments on Coulter are interesting. I don't recall reading anything of hers in a very long time so I'm not able to comment about her in particular. However, she may be an instance of a more general media phenomenon in which folks who gain a bit of attention for their inflammatory comments find they must keep increasing the level of flame to keep the attention. Don't know about her.

Treason is the culmination of a dismaying trend toward factually misleading and inflammatory books from pundits such as Michael Moore, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage (Salon Premium subscription or viewing of ad required for Savage column). These authors may delight partisans and make their publishers rich, but their work impoverishes our political discourse. spinsanity.org; This statement is patently false. As a matter of fact her entire article reads like a hysterical scream. Ann Coulter always provides hundreds of sources in her footnotes. Brenda Nyhan is the only one impoverishing political discourse if she would deny conservatives the right to challenge liberals. Not wishing to hear something someone says does not make a case of impoverished discourse.....it's not liking what you hear. She has a definite flair for myopic drama. M
