I must say I like a lot of these EXCEPT, the Ann Coulter quote. She is an Ultra Conservative Tea-Party A**Hole!! (Sorry for swearing on your Blog, my dear Pat...But, I just cannot abide her! If anything the quote should be about her. She claims to love America, but in actuality HATES Americans...! OY!

"Attila The Hen"...mean, but funny!

I'm not sure what Ann Coulter is trying to say / do.

Is she saying that American citizens who hold political views different from hers should be compared to a man who was accused of murder? What if Nicole had family / friends who are Liberals? How do they feel about what she said?

It's a strange way to persuade others to consider your point of view. It's a good way to alienate citizens.
