No I meant she's a person for whom politics is profession, and she is a professional commentator. She makes her living being inflammatory, being a mouth piece, writing books, etc. To me she is a symbol of one of the things that is wrong with politics today, people who I believe have no or little real belief in what they preach but they make a lot of money preaching it and by building up a following which violently rejects the opposition. People that instead of discourse, promote mockery and dehumanization of their opponents rather than understanding and compromise over disagreements.
Her book titles are as follows:
High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton
Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right
Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism
How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter
Godless: The Church of Liberalism
If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans
Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America
These books are made for the consumption of people who don't want their beliefs challenged, instead they want them re-enforced, and like children when people's beliefs aren't shown to be wrong or challenged from time to time they become spoiled, and reasonable discourse because harder and harder with them. It bares some characteristics to Orwellian mindset, where a group is demonized and exists for nothing more than an enemy for them to unite around.
Ann Coulter and similar political commentators are part of the problem that is wrong with this country, they encourage and seem to live in a fantasy world where the world is divided into a simple binary system of liberals vs conservatives, where the members of each group are identical, where your side is never wrong and their side is the incarnation of the devil, where history is re-written, denied, or created to suit the needs of the party.
This situation is certainly not unique to conservatism, or Republicans, but Ann Coulter is an enabler of this kind of thinking, and its all traces its way back to cash flow. The more she can make her audience utterly reject the other side, the more she can become a mouthpiece for Republicans and conservatism, the more books she can sell, the more TV appearances she can make, the more speaking arrangements she can have. And what's worse is that the more uncompromising she is, the more successful she is. Just look at these boards if you don't believe me, what topics always generate the most attention? The one's with the most extreme or the most partisan OPs. The more partisan, the more bias, and the simpler, something is the more attention it gathers because its easier for people to attack or defend(depending on what you want to do).
