[Marxism] Ann Coulter

[Mehmet Cagatay]

I read some of the articles on her website:

The danger behind her ludicrous political propositions is not that they
are admissible, but they render the logical premises possible to be
perceived as rational. The proposal of “We should invade their countries,
kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity” is much less
threatening than the official doctrines as “bringing democracy”,
“preemptive strikes”, “struggle against Muslim fundamentalism”, etc.
While, the assertion to convert whole infidels to sensible believers is a
complete exaggeration, destroying the secular nationalist Iraq to erect an
Islamist but more tractable regime is the logical premise of converting
mischievous subjects to the believers of global order. 

This is the duplication of good cop/bad cop craftiness. One of the
components of a political discourse portrays the villain, who is
symbolising the aftermath of avoiding cooperation, or of the terrifying
outcomes of being shy away to interfere in current situation, the other
one represents the bearable penalties of being included in the discourse
and inevitable sacrifice of the compromise. (If you are eager to live in a
more safety world you have to drop some of your old democratic rights,
e.g.) Real interrogator is the one, who disguised himself as a good cop
but the ultimate misfortune of the suspect.

Ann Coulter gives examples of pathological contradictions of an authentic
racist mind like one of her associates:

not truly dangerous isolated from their original political discourse and
how it works in reality. The danger lies in the blindness that they beget
which does not allow us to identify the new forms of fascism.
