TruthSeeker_37: Ann Coulter - Why is anyone listening to her?

This Monday, Ann Coulter took her pattern of personal attacks to a new level. On national television she said that rather than hurling more homophobic slurs, "If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

Tuesday evening Elizabeth Edwards called Ann Coulter live on Hardball to ask for an end to her personal attacks on John and other candidates. Coulter's response? More personal attacks.

From MediaMatters.org:

Ann Coulter is a syndicated columnist for Universal Press Syndicate, a legal affairs correspondent for the conservative newspaper Human Events, and a frequent pundit and guest on Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and CNN. She is often billed as a "constitutional attorney," apparently based on her University of Michigan law degree and membership in the conservative Federalist Society (a chapter of which she founded while attending the University of Michigan Law School).

Coulter first came to national prominence as a legal correspondent and pundit for MSNBC, which fired her for insulting a Vietnam veteran. The conservative National Review dropped her column after she responded to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, by stating that America should "invade their [terrorists'] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." In an interview with The New York Observer, Coulter stated that "[m]y only regret with [Oklahoma City bomber] Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times building." USA Today also removed Coulter as a columnist covering the 2004 Democratic National Convention after she referred to the gathering as the "Spawn of Satan convention."

She has become a highly visible pundit on the cable news circuit, noted for her particularly coarse and inflammatory invective directed at Democrats and progressives.
