Heading: Book Review: Why Ann
Coulter's Guilty Is Innocent

Excerpt:

Ann Coulter is back.

In Guilty: Liberal "Victims" And
Their Assault On America, the
conservative movement's rose
advances the view that pretend
victims are breeding like rodents.


We see them on soulless talk shows.
We see them with grey ponytails in
Starbucks, eating spinach croissants.
In fact, some of them are even Nazi-
collaborators with big pockets. The
media loves them. Or, to paraphrase,
Dennis Prager: Only the truth is
controversial on television.


Undoubtedly, some critics will
claim that Coulter is just
preaching to the choir (again).
I heartily disagree. In my
experience, Coulter's books
are good at challenging my
assumptions, and setting me
right on key issues. I've seen
the light (and double-checked
her footnotes and endnotes).

Of course, this is not to suggest
that "the choir" doesn't have the
right to enjoy Coulter's books. To
the contrary, I'm sure Baptists
will love Guilty. And critics are
missing a larger point: she isn't
preaching to the choir – she's
recharging the choir.
