Ann Coulter: Bell weather or bell end?

if you recall, I added Ann to the Miss Republican contest a few months back.

Lots more people are gonna see how stupid she is because of increased coverage
of the other 'contestants', Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman.

Anyway, Ann made the news in March when she said that 'radiation is good for you'.

I interpreted that as meaning that it's on its way, and it's bad for everybody,
except for Ann and her friends who have shares in US healthcare insurers,
who will refuse to treat radiation sickness because
'it's good if people glow'.
So, although she talks bollocks, if you
take the inverse and backwards version of her message,

you catch an important Republican media meme.
I'll go one step further. She works for the Republican party by translating their message
into 'Drooling Idiot-speak', a recognised dialect in the US.

Thought of another way, she is speaking Republican dog-whistle type talk.
The message is received by those backwards-ass Republicans who understand the world as either
'mine' or 'a piece of sh*t',
and hates the government,
unless they can make money off it.
I happen to be a linguist, so that's how I figured it out.
Methodology: listen to the AC message, and watch Republican reaction. That's it.

Here's her latest meme, on Republican Pres Candidate Ron Paul (in Daily Bell):
".. So Rep. Paul is a swashbuckling individualist when it comes to civilization's most crucial building block for raising children, but willing to be a run-of-the-mill government statist when it comes to the Ponzi-scheme entitlements bankrupting the country. He's like a vegetarian who says, "I'm not a fanatic – I still eat meat." "
[Daily Bell commentary] We have read this excerpt several times and we're still not sure we understand it. She asks a lot of questions about children and wills and health care and makes it clear that if government does not handle these issues, then the world will fall into mass confusion. Why should this be so?
Ms. Coulter has spent decades dissecting government incompetence with her rapier wit [Daily Bell's sarcastic wit- Cos67]. Yet in this article, she makes the case that government is absolutely necessary for life's basic relationships. She even makes the case that if state governments don't keep track of marriages then adoption will become unfeasible along with custody and child support issues.

So, 1 the Daily Bell is guilty of using logic to analyse the words of an idiot.
2 The message is 'hey Republicans. Watch out for Ron Paul. He's not one of us'
3 This means that Ron Paul is a threat, either for the Republican nomination, because
he's picking up some "Tea Party themes" (like spending, and shutting the Federal Reserve)
which will mean that Coulter's friends will lose money. SHE's into the Ponzi stuff, not Ron Paul, regardless of what she says above. And even if Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination because of spy subterfuge, he could run as an Independent and screw the Republican candidate, and possibly beat him in the polls, giving the win to Obama.
4 She uses an emotive issue of family, and in so doing, behaves like the government is important to people's lives. That's treading in dangerous territory for a Republican. However, Republican rubes will only hear
'my family is threatened by Ron Paul, who's probably gay'.
5 my main point: Ann Coulter is stupid, but crazy like a fox.
