Not really. I've heard her speak once, and read a few of her columns.
More to the point, I love proving things you say false. It's fun for me, and not too difficult.
Here, I'll do it again.
In the link you posted here, they list a few supposed mistakes or factual errors. Yet in reading just what they posted, you see they made up a straw-man argument, and attacked it.
Ann Coulter claimed that those supporting sex education refuse to accept moral grounds. To support that, she cites
As one heroine of the sex education movement told an approving New York Times reporter, "My job is not to teach one right value system. Parents and churches teach moral values. My job is to say, 'These are the facts,' and to help the students, as adults, decide what is right for them."
Second, Ann Coulter says that sex education supporters want to teach Kindergartners sex education. Now, the source for that isn't in the text quoted, but anyone who paid attention prior, knows about (SB0099) Comprehensive Health Education Program in Illinois. This Obama supported bill, would require schools to have a comprehensive sex education course as follows:
Each class or course in comprehensive sex education offered in any of grades K 6 through 12 shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV AIDS.
All public elementary, junior high, and senior high school classes that teach sex education and discuss sexual activity or intercourse, shall emphasize that abstinence is an effective method of preventing unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV when transmitted sexually.
Other parts of the bill talk about all manor of sexual activity, but specifics about fisting or other acts are not mentioned. So where did she get that?
That checks out, now doesn't it?
So what was Media Matters beef? They claimed that Coulter was wrong in quoting Dr. Beverlie Conant Sloane, because she never supported teaching kindergartners fisting, as they say Coulter suggested.
But in reading the quote from Coulters book again, that's not what she said. In fact, she didn't even say that kindergartners were going to be taught fisting. This is the made up straw-man that Media Matters attacked.
She said that sex education supporters are Amoralists, which the quote proves true. And she said that students would be taught all manor of sexual behavior, which the MassNews link proves true. And she said this would be done in the name of protecting kindergarteners from the scourge of AIDS, which also is true.
In effect, once again, everything she said was absolutely correct. And you, Mr. Shaman with your bias Media Matters cite, is completely wrong. For the sake of sparing time, I'll leave the others. If you wish me to debunk them for you to, let me know. I'll be more than happy to prove you wrong again... and again... and again...
