If you actually read this book it's hard to tell. Disagreement...I can see that, but as is so common you take the route that since you can't counter the ideas presented you simply call names and try to dismiss.

Uhm...Wait a minute. Guilty as charged. I am Dismissing a book that presents almost nothing in terms of political ideas and spends most of its time attacking, yes attacking, liberalism for being evil wrong and blaming everything on liberalism.
Her book is to rational, reasoned debate what cyanide is to food. Attempting to debate or discuss history, politics, religion, or society with her is like going to talk about nuclear physics with a lobotomized chimpanzee. Not dismissing her or not explaining to the blind man that is trying to glean information from the chimp what it is he listens to is idiocy.
If she could add even one iota of reason to the debate I would have heard it a long time ago. Despite this I spent about fourty unrefundable minutes of my life skimming through this absurd book that would be satire of and on conservatives in a saner world.
If you want conservative humor then give P.J O'Rourke a try. Not only is he considerably smarter he does not resort to the usual trailer trash-garage sale version of two minute hate that is Coulter's daily blather.
Well, you've got the vitriolic diatribe down, unfortunately none of that has much to do with the question. I get it, she offends you and you don't like her. That still doesn't make you correct. She does use facts even if she does it in an in your face bomb thrower type of way. Feel free to express yourself as you see fit, just don't expect universal approbation.
