I can't believe that she actually believes the bullshit she spouts, but she never, ever, retracts anything she says... and she says some pretty outrageous things. She is so outrageous, she seems like a Poe. The scariest part is that there are far too many people here (ignorant morons) that buy into all her raving insanity.
That's the only thing that I might respect about her: never apologizing. More ballsy than these weak-kneed politicians or talk show hosts who say something racy, realize the blowback and then issue an apology. If you say it, you obviously think it, so be a man and stand behind your racism/hatred/homophobia!

I'm English with not much interested in US affairs but what I've seen her say (on video) seems ok. Even though what she says may be extreme, she always defends herself well. I like that she gives everyone a run for their money. She certainly runs rings around UK journalists. Anyone have damning video evidence of her fouling up? Solid reason for dislike rather than witch hunting? I've looked at a lot of her stuff and never found anything damning. She's often vastly outvoted but never deposed on anything except majority opinion... and what do we say about Argumentum ad populum?

The thing about her is that she is deliberately insulting, arrogant, condescending, racist/bigoted, and just plain inflammatory in general. She is like an extreme parody of an extremist right wing/neo-con Republican (American style) that is more interested in pissing people off in order to garner publicity for herself than saying anything substantial or even true. She's like a real life troll, but she trolls political opinion media, instead of internet forums.
She says things like:
""If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."
And:
"I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot."
And:
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."
And:
"Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the President."
And so on. She's just a bitch... plain and simple.

Yeah she looked dumb there. Any more of those or is that isolated? She's outspoken/ outrageous so ppl are bound to be wanting her to fail. The plagiarism seems pretty damning. Anyone cornered her on that?
<edit> thx Ent. Didn't let her speak again

You know what would be great? A president who pretends he's Christian until he is like four months into his presidency and then "comes out" as an atheist. *sigh* That would be the best ever.

It's people like her that make me cringe at the right wing in this country.
They believe in freedom and equality, unless you're gay, non-white, not rich, not christian, pro-choice, liberal, a democrat, an employee, someone from a "blue state", or you take advantage of any public programs.
They believe in fiscal responsibility if the spenders are democrats/liberals.
And she's the one who'll call you names for not agreeing with any of the above.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
