I can't read this new Ann Coulter book at work. There are too many distractions. It's exhausting work, because every, single page is sparkling with gems. Let me just randomly flip tooooooo page 100. Huh, doesn't sound very random, but it is. Let's pick some things out.
When conservatives used to criticize the media, liberals always acted perplexed and indignant at the idea that a TV station could have a political bias. Then Fox News came along, and to listen to liberals, you'd think we were living in a police state.
The five top-rated cable news shows are all on Fox News. Bill O'Reilly has more than 3 million viewers a night, while CNN viewers are measured in the hundreds of thousands and MSNBC by the occasional show of hands.
Even the fake news on CBS has more than 7 million viewers. Britt Hume gets a lousy million viewers and liberals think it's fascism in America.
Inconsolable over the death of the old media, liberals told us that the nation was being torn apart by "angry voices," "polarizing rhetoric," "angry white men," "the politics of division." They said the nation has never been so divided, forgetting the somewhat polarized era America experienced between 1861 and 1865.
Liberals' idea of harmony is: Democrats win everything all the time and no one else can talk.
That's just on one page! And I left out a lot of really funny adjectives. And yet, in a 310-page book, the liberals are ripping Ann for what she said in one paragraph about four 9-11 widows who have become wealthy activists (are there any other kind?) by exploiting their husbands' deaths. It's easy to see why they aren't addressing any of the other things in the book. They can't.
Stern lectures for the logically-challenged. Others have opinions, I have convictions.
