Ann Coulter: Mugged

Loaded with choice facts succinctly put, seen through a grid of "interpretation" so bizarre as to suggest LSD.

Yes, that's what happened but, no, that's not it, at all.

Off to a good start, though.

Right off the bat she attributes the disasters of black culture to that of the American South in which they have been "steeped for centuries."

Horrific ways she traces to the Celtic fringes of the British Isles, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.

Nasty and stupid ways she contrasts with those of the English settlers of New England, industrious, peaceable, and literate, that she traces to East Anglia.

She must have laughed, thinking of the looks on the faces of Pat Buchanan and Jim Webb, Scotch-Irish ethnic patriots of the Appalachians.

The bio at Wikipedia says she has been criticized for her Christianity and her remark that Jews need to "be perfected" by conversion to Christianity to be saved.

The Jewish host who elicited that remark by flat asking her condemned it as anti-Semitic.

The noisy folk of the left generally seized the occasion to bash her for this orthodox remark, damning her for ignorance, intolerance, stupidity, and bigotry.

Some Jews have condemned as anti-Semitic prayers for the Auschwitz dead by Catholic nuns.

And others have positively derailed in reaction to Mormon posthumous conversion ceremonies.

(When I first heard of them the very thought made me smile.)

I am reminded of atheists who resent it when people pray for them.

Others sincerely wish you well according to their lights and try to do you good in ways that are harmless, and so you resent it?

As my mother would say about an unsuitable gift, "It's the thought that counts."

The Wikipedia bio says she somewhere wrote or remarked that the current US immigration policy and repeated amnesties of vast waves of illegals are partially aimed at reducing the percentage of whites in the American population.

Insightful and irrepressible, she is.

Loony, sure.

But insightful and irrepressible.
