Remember when I mentioned Ann Coulter’s newest “kill all the libruls” screed? Well, it’s out today.
One thing I should point out is that the title, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans, sorta kinda contradicts a “point” she makes in Slander:
If liberals were prevented from ever again calling Republicans dumb, they would be robbed of half their arguments. To be sure, they would still have “racist,” “fascist,” “homophobe,” “ugly,” and a few other highly nuanced arguments in the quiver. But the loss of “dumb” would nearly cripple them.

This is how six-year-olds argue: They call everything “stupid.” The left’s primary argument is the angry reaction of a helpless child deprived of the ability to mount logical counterarguments. Someday we will turn to the New York Times editorial page and find the Newspaper of Record denouncing President Bush for being a ‘penis-head.’
Ann Coulter - Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (p. 121)
I have to ask two questions at this point: 1) How long until Coulter calls me a “penis-head?” 2) Does this mean that Coulter is an intellectual six-year-old? Inquiring minds want to know.
