"I think Ms. Coulter chose her words to sell books, not because she really believed them" I don't know her personally, but generally find her pretty entertaining when she is skewering liberals on tv. My guess is that she chose her words based on how irritating she finds it that the left uses dishonest tactics like putting out "vicitms" that we supposudly cannot respond to. Sheehan is a prime example and my opinion of her is that she is a foul person. I feel badly for her son and all who loved him, but not for her. She pathetically uses his death to push a position that I am nearly certain he would not support. But that is what the left does. And it disgusts and infuriates a lot of people. It is a dangerous tactic. "does Ann Coulter's lack of caring about whether her choice of words were deeply hurtful to the individuals involved make her a "hater"?" I think most likely she hates people that spread hatred. That is where I come from. I don't hate anybody except those that kill, injure or attack those with different views. I don't know much about the jersey girls (or whoever they are), but to use Sheehan as an example, when she says Bush is a murderer bastard (and there is a lot more) it creates quite a level of disgust and hate for her. If she said she is against the war for specific reasons I would not hate her. But she is a hater, and I hate that. "Or demonstrate a lack of simple compassion for, again, people she does not know?" You keep saying she does not know them. But she does know what they say and do. When they say and do things they open themselves up to being responded too. The left loves what the Jerseys say, and the right hates it (for the most part). See Dixie Chicks as an example, but less extreme. Now they cry in their soup and hate folks who like Reba McEntire and Toby Keith because these people were offended that she insulted the President of the United States in a foreign country. On that note, it also bugs many of us when name calling is called criticism. Tired of hearing the statement "we are embarrased to be from the same state as Bush" characterized as asking tough questions about the war. It is not that, it is a personal attack against someone they hate.
