Shelf Life Expired

An AP television writer asks whether the writer known to TalkLeft readers as "the She-Pundit with long blond hair" has hit her tipping point, "whether her shelf life is expiring." Does it matter? As long as AP keeps writing about her and networks continue to air her intolerant rants, she'll still be stinking up the shelf.

    agree with the substance of her comments and wish that she would tone down the nastiness.

    Wait.

    The nastiness IS the "substance" of her comments.  You can't separate them, because without the nastiness, she has nothing to say.

    Your post is 100% correct, but the blogs need to ignore her as well.  I think she gets more press from her online haters than from the mainstream media.

    The dilemna regarding what to do about Coulter is similar to that of another (but much more dangerous) demogouge Joseph McCarthy.  There were 2 schools of thought regarding McCarthy illustrated by President Eisenhower and Edward R Murrow.  Notice the very weird resemblence if you substitute Coulter for McCarthy.

    1. We should ignore them.

    "Senator McCarthy is, of course, so anxious for the headlines that he is prepared to go to any extremes in order to secure some mention of his name in the public press. His actions create trouble on the Hill with members of the party; they irritate, frustrate, and infuriate members of the Executive Department. I really believe that nothing will be so effective in combating his particular kind of troublemaking as to ignore him. This he cannot stand."
    General Dwight D. Eisenhower, diary entry (1st April, 1953)

    2. We should confront them.

    "This is no time for men who opose Senator McCarthty's methods to keep silent. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we cannot escape responsibility for the result."
    Edward Murrow, See It Now (9th March, 1954)
