Via Pajamas Media, James Joyner has what I guess should be called an Ann Coulter roundup, and Ann doesn't seem to have too many friends right now in the right-of-center blogosphere.

Whether it's just her shtick or a form of trolling, conservatives are complaining that it makes them look bad.

Rick Moran, Don Surber, and The Political Pit Bull (now there's a name I can relate to) have all weighed in with excellent posts, and (via Glenn Reynolds) so have Captain Ed, Hugh Hewitt, and the Anchoress. I agree with Captain Ed that she's acting like Ted Rall by impugning the 9/11 families, and just as I condemned Rall for the same thing, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Sure, she has a First Amendment right to do these things. But she's enabling the left, every bit as much as Cindy Sheehan enables the right, whether she admits it or not.

Regardless of her purpose, making conservatives look bad sure sells. Her book is portrayed very prominently at a local liberal bookstore where books by conservative authors (and even libertarian authors like Glenn Reynolds) are tough to find anywhere.

According to Drudge, Ann has issued a broadside against Hillary:

"BEFORE CRITICIZING OTHERS FOR BEING 'MEAN' TO WOMEN, PERHAPS HILLARY SHOULD TALK TO HER HUSBAND WHO WAS ACCUSED OF RAPE BY JUANITA BROADDRICK AND WAS GROPING KATHLEEN WILLEY AT THE VERY MOMENT WILLEY'S HUSBAND WAS COMMITTING SUICIDE."

I have to say that while I enjoy the comedic aspects of the bitchfight, I'm concerned that Hillary will be the ultimate beneficiary of it.

This untimely outburst would seem to confirm my longtime suspicion that there are ideologues on the right who'd be happy to have Hillary Clinton in the White House.

There's something else that's important to remember. Godless is not merely an attack on liberals; it's a major attack on evolution. That ought to be divisive enough to get conservatives fighting each other (even the ones who weren't already fighting), and in middle America, well, the anti-evolution meme goes over about as well as the Scopes monkey trial. Again, who benefits?

All things considered, Glenn has good advice when he says "don't feed the trolls."

(Somehow, though, I don't think Ann will deign to nibble on my measly crumbs, glad as I am to see her ad running here. I once had ads from Exodus, and I'm a strong believer in equal opportunism.)
