The Frum Divide
For shear diabolical cleverness, you have to admire the liberal media for appointing their own mainstream Republican spokespersons. The Davids (Frum and Brooks), Kathleen Parker, George Will, etal...people so out of touch with the conservative mainstream that they don't "get" Sarah Palin and much else that happens between the coasts.
There is a clear agenda, driven from the White House, to make the media disenfranchisement of the conservative heartland complete, by working hard to excise actual effective voices of mainstream American conservativism--namely Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.
The Vichy Republicans are only too happy to be of service in helping Democrats in their search and destroy mission, although I'm not sure how influential trust-find baby Meghan McCain is in her peer group.
To make matters worse, certain individuals continue to perpetuate negative stereotypes about Republicans. Especially Republican women. Who do I feel is the biggest culprit? Ann Coulter. I straight up don’t understand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time. But no matter how much you or I disagree with her, the cult that follows Coulter cannot be denied. She is a New York Times best-selling author and one of the most notable female members of the Republican Party. She was one of the headliners at the recent CPAC conference (but when your competition is a teenager who has a dream about the Republican Party and Stephen Baldwin, it’s not really saying that much).Coulter could be the poster woman for the most extreme side of the Republican Party. And in some ways I could be the poster woman for the opposite. I consider myself a progressive Republican, but here is what I don’t get about Coulter: Is she for real or not? Are some of her statements just gimmicks to gain publicity for her books or does she actually believe the things she says? Does she really believe all Jewish people should be “perfected” and become Christians?
I absolutely believe that Meghan McCain doesn't "get" Ann Coulter. Meghan doesn't share the fury of conservatives, doesn't realize that this is war and that the courtesy of her liberal friends will end with her usefulness to them. Ann Coulter knows exactly who the liberals are and what they want from us--everything.
Nevertheless--conservatives have a problem here.
