While we're on the subject of Ann Coulter

Her recent visit to Tufts inspired Steven Ward's primer in The Tufts Daily, "How to write like conservatives":

The Ann Coulter Two-Step. Step 1. Choose a topic. Step 2. Write whatever crazy thing pops into your head as long as it is demonstrably false.

The Generic Conservative Student Opinion Article.. . . Get your history book. Throw it out the window. Now, as an exercise in Academic Freedom, write your own history book. Do not include references to separation of church and state, deism, slavery, the Great Depression, McCarthyism, the Vietnam War, Watergate or the Clinton surplus. Include only one chapter on the 1990s and instead of writing it yourself, simply copy and paste the entire text of the Ken Starr Report.

. . .

Take quotes out of context to support ridiculous claims. Lie incessantly. When people object to your methods and disagree with your point of view, attack their patriotism.

And so on.

I'm thinking there's a "Punditry for Dummies" book just waiting to happen here. (Thanks to Silt for the link.)
