I don't know, Lynn...
She made some pretty good points in this column. The statement about liberals and their flags was obviously a sarcastic joke, aimed toward those public figures, who, in her opinion, bely their own claims to patriotism by their silly statements which boil down to the contrary. She tends to take aim at self-styled liberals who consistently make fools of themselves in the press. If you're an average American and on top of that, not a traditional liberal, why would you even consider yourself a target of that comment? And from your perspective, aren't "bimbo" and "twit" sinking to her level of invective?
She doesn't strike me as a bimbo, unless all long-haired blondes are bimbos; actually, I gather that she is a professing Christian. And she strikes me as quick-witted and sharp-tongued, but certainly not a twit. I once read an interview transcript she did with Katie Couric (one of the most biased "journalists" in tv-land) and Coulter definitely came out on top.
In this particular column, she did lots of quoting and shooting down the ideas contained...with which quotes do you agree or disagree and which of her arguments (as opposed to her hyperbolic jokes) are not true?
I happen to believe, like the General, that Allah is not the true God. Does that make me racist? I think it makes me (gasp) not-a-Muslim, and furthermore, a Christian. (Scary.) It seems to me that if one holds something is absolutely true (as in one's religious faith), one automatically assumes the alternatives are not true. If a God of mercy and forgiveness is real, then a god who is not full of mercy and forgiveness would not be that God. Which would make him a false god. In biblical terms, an idol. Right? I don't see where she is wrong in firing away at those who would suppress Boykin's right to free speech in *churches* for goodness' sake, by calling for his removal from his job! After all, the most radical of Muslims are freely allowed to incite hatred against Americans in the mosques of Iraq (and around the world).
Just a different perspective (you can always count on me!).
