Ann Coulter, the fascist harridan, is inflicting yet another "book" on the world. As usual, the title and content are designed to infuriate. But what's interesting to me is how this is another example of a phenomenon one observes over and over with reactionaries: how they project. That is, they attribute aspects of themselves which they won't consciously acknowledge, to external objects/people. This projection is a way of disowning the loathsome aspects of themselves.
And I guess you could say it's hypocritical too.
This book is titled "Demonic," (see what I mean?) and topics include "the Democratic Party's coddling of violent mobs." Really? And who are those goons who scream at Town Hall meetings and go to see the President of the United States strapped with guns? That would be the Tea Party and assorted other fascist, racist fanatics. In fact, white racists and fascists are the grass root backbone of the GOP (Gang Of Plunderers).
Her previous book was called "Guilty." More projection.
Of course, it reveals the nature of the U.S. media that it elevates and treats seriously a demented shrew like Coulter. That reflects the class interests the U.S. media represents- the corporate oligarchy.
