The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

I get the feeling she's exaggerated herself to a high degree. I don't doubt she's a very conservative woman... I just don't read her as that particularly unintelligent, so the worst of what she's said comes across as disingenuous hyperbole, not parts of an actual belief system.

Of course, if I'm right, then you could definitely argue that this makes her much worse.

I think this is the conventional wisdom on her....and I agree, it makes her much worse.

Some acquaintances who host a radio program on local public affairs have told me that she's a lot of fun to drink with.

I do lean HP on Coulter, but most of what she says is (or at least seems like) obvious hyperbole. And if I read her work as parody, I find it almost as funny as Stephen Colbert.

The epitome of the US entertainment industry that has no lows in its attempts to manipulate feelings to be used for money-making purposes. She is entertaining once taken in that context. I feel like most people take her seriously though, which reminds me of just how damaging and dangerous her kind are.

Although I can certainly understand the temptation to use it, this type of language isn't exactly helpful.

She's hott and just wants her party to win elections. She could make the same arguments for Gingrich or Santorum that she makes for Romney. Sometimes she goes too far like when she said she'd support the Democratic nominee over John McCain, but then backed away from the comment. We need more people like her.

I somewhat agree with Fezzy: you have to look at Coulter as an entertainer rather than a pundit. Through that lense she's hilarious and an FF.

I'm not counting Dave Leip.  He used to be the only moderator when I first started posting here.  There were no "infraction points" or anything like that back then.  I'd just get an email message once in a while that said something like, "Please avoid drunken, emotional diatribes.  Thank you, Dave Leip" or "Please refrain from linking to pornographic websites.  Thank you, Dave Leip."
