That was crude. OTOH, that wasn’t in any of her books.

or when she called two Clinton supporters a crude word for prostitute?

She called a couple of political types whores? Mercy, can my ears stand it.

Like recently when she called John Edwards a crude word for homosexual (and as she did Al Gore a while back) or when she called two Clinton supporters a crude word for prostitute?

It just isn’t proper to make fun of people who are obviously suffering some sort of serious neurological impairment like this.

Cut them some slack. Just because the 20 watts or so their brain puts out would be put to better use lighting a room doesn’t mean we should make fun of them.

Brown and Alston should be held responsible for “global dumbing”.

Indeed, Jehu, or how a missile would appear to a person from the Imperial Roman period.

Some have speculated that to a first century person, a missile in flight might look very much like a torch, or a lamp. (Rev 8:10)

I wonder where the field of science is going when a lot of popular science books are trash. Funny, books on Panspermia go over without a hitch.

And funny that we hear complaints about Coulter’s book published in 2006, yet Dawkin’s book the Blind Watchmaker published in ’04 goes over without a hitch. This book wasn’t science either, it was about how he interprets evolution and it’s meaning.

All I want is this stuff to go somewhere else. Most of this “Science books” have no science. It would be different if there was something “true”, as in I don’t need to have some presupposition to make it true.

It’s amazing that two authors with postgraduate degrees, and numerous editors who are paid to check for errors, could fail to understand even the most basic rules of reading and interpretation. First of all, it’s Revelation, not Revelations. More importantly, apocalyptic writing uses metaphors and symbols, and the use of falling stars and other heavenly bodies in the book of Revelation (as well as throughout the Bible) is a very common picture of the collapse of a government (city or nation), not a prediction of Vega or Polaris slamming into New York. This is basic hermeneutics.

You fail to see the difference. When Ann Coulter appears crude it’s usually because she’s quoting someone she’s criticizing.

It’ll probably be required reading in primary schools over here in England.
