Recently she [Coulter] was on Hannity & Colmes
Coulter let fly with:
"Liberals don't want to fight terrorism. You want there to be lots of 9/11's."
To which MacArthur (not getting the show or the joke) replied: "It's not a question how to fight terrorism. It's a question of whether..."
See, what MacArthur should have said (instead of attempting to make a serious point on a comedy show) is, "No Ann, it's *you* who wants more 9/11s.

That would have sent Coulter and Hannity into hysterics. But instead, MacArthur tried to reason with Coulter, a serious waste of time.

Ah, thank you for writing this. Yes, this is precisely right.
I watched Coulter 'perform' on Bill Maher's program "Politically Incorrect" a month or so ago. Sadly for her, comedian D.L. Hughley was also on the program.
She began her bestselling routine but Hughley, a sharp fellow, well informed and quicker with the laser-guided put-downs than Coulter, slapped her down, repeatedly, with laughing panache as if she were a particularly naughty and dull witted child.
She was reduced at points to grunting and sighing in disapproval of Hughley's 'librul bias' but was powerless to otherwise challenge his logic, his loyalty or his intelligence.
It was quite a show.
We need more of this no bullshit spirit - delivered with a sharp wit and a bemused smile - when taking on Coulter and her colleagues.
