" Some of what she says is reasonable. Some of it might be agreed to by many conservatives who won't say it themselves. ""We should invade their countries[sic Muslims], kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." Is neither. " I don't believe there aren't any conservatives who believe that latter statement by Coulter as your comment infers I didn't say there where not any conservatives who don't think the same way. I did say there where not many (defined as a large percentage, a majority or a large minority). How did you make a judgment that Coulter is "probably more accurate" than MM? After all, its unlikely that you have read everything that each has written and analyzed it for its veracity. I haven't read or analyzed everything from Coulter or Michael Moore. That's why I said "probably more accurate", rather then more accurate. The specific factual claims that I have seen from Moore where less accurate then similar claims from Coulter. Its possible that the whole body of claims from each don't follow the pattern of the smaller sample that I have read or heard, so I only say that she is "probably more accurate then MM." And yet, you seem to have determined that Coulter is more accurate. Therefore, given the kind of analysis you must have made to get to that conclusion, I figured you must agree with even her inflammatory remarks and deem them accurate. That's a totally unreasonable conclusion if all you have to go by is my "probably more accurate" statement. You took a remark that was one of the most inflammatory remarks she has made. Even if I said something like "she is right 98% of the time", it wouldn't provide much support for the idea that I agree with that specific inflammatory statement. And "right 98% of the time" goes far beyond being right more then Michael Moore, and even further beyond probably being right more often then MM. Tim
