Would you support a boycott of Ann Coulter
and her Enablers (Fox News, their sponsors, her Publishing companies, etc)?

2. The best thing anyone can do is ignore that idiot.
Boycotting her isn't going to solve anything. I doubt anyone here buys her trash or watches Fox.

5. Companies that sponsor Fox News then
Similar to the boycott of Sinclair Broadcasting.

12. The people that sponsor them sponsor every major network really.
Pepsi, Coke, Bud, Viagra etc. I don't believe they have any exclusive sponsors. I'm sorry but I don't see the point. It really is best to ignore her.

13. To the contrary, I'm convinced that liberals who enjoy feeling outraged
comprise a majority of her audience.

I wish they'd follow the advice in the subject of your post.

Whenever she appears on TV the message she conveys is that conservatives are psychotic idiots. I'm not really sure why folks have a problem with this.

15. I agree. Being upset by what she says lets her win.
She's looking to stir up shit. That's her whole shtick.

7. Boycott what? I would never buy her books, never buy a magazine
she writes for, I never watch Faux, and I seldom see her anywhere. I already boycott her.

9. I personally already do but any publicity would be to HER benefit.

So I'd say no to a boycott.

I'm sure most, if not all, Dems, liberals, and most moderates already do shun her work. There is no need for a boycott. It would just spur the RW on to buy her vile crap even more.

11. Folks, PLEASE DON"T make a martyr out of her with a boycott. . .
that's EXACTLY what the B****C***" wants.

Let her twist slowly in the wind with this plagiarism controversy.

17. I would support a public stoning of Ann Coulter.
And would bid top dollar to be able to chunk the first three stones at her.

22. If by "boycott:", you mean "ignore" then yes. A public boycott? No.
she spouts what she does for the attention. why give it to her?
