I stopped reading after "www.anncoulter.com". Her self-righteous bullying attitude combined with a refusal to concede that anything she says is less than 100% accurate reminds me of this:

Just like most American media pundits, she's completely incapable of anything even resembling objectivity.

Edit: Not that she or any of the others are really shooting for balance anyway.

The most intelligent article I've read so far about the US election was from Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert

President McCain
Last night I saw some pundits on the news discussing the results of a poll. When Americans were asked if they would vote for an African-American for president, more than 9 out of 10 people said yes. But when asked if they knew anyone who would not vote for an African-American, about half said they know such a person.

One inference you might make from these results, and the one drawn by the pundits on the show, is that people are secretly racists. They tell pollsters they are not bigots, but once inside the voting booth they are.

The other inference is something I call math. If there are ten friends, and only one is a racist, then it is true that 90 percent are not racists while everyone knows someone who is. It’s that one guy.

Here’s the way I think the election is going to go down. Obama will get nominated, and polls will start to show he will get 95% of the African-American vote. This will frighten all the racists who hadn’t planned to vote, and get them to the polling places, thus handing the election to John McCain, even if he is only being kept alive by machines at that point.

Here’s a little unscientific survey question of my own:

1. Do you personally know anyone who thinks Obama is a Muslim?

2. Do you personally know anyone who suspects Obama might secretly hate America and is running for President to destroy it from within?

I know registered voters in both of those categories. That's why your next president will be named McCain. That's just a prediction, not a preference.

I can't stand Ray Davy, the pygmy Hitler jobsworth, who tried to make my 85-year old Nan walk further rather than park in somewhere where we weren't allowed to. Glad he lost.

Doubt you would say that to his son who I know reads this site!

Many moderate people would respect your stance on asparagus, but what's all this extremist nonsense about abolishing slavery?

Oh, we just put that in for a joke! See you next year! :D

ECCONOMY - Positive discrimination for Brits. Break up monoploies etc (Is that a bad thing)

Regardless of your thoughts on race, immigration and crime, the thought of a government trying to run this country without the benefits of international trade scares me. We can't even fill low paid service jobs - I have no idea how we would try and run a country with small amounts of natural resources without putting food on a par in expense with most engineered goods.

Not sure the foreign banks would stick around with internal pressure from Arab investors who are actively condemned by the local government. London's a great financial centre but not that far ahead of the rest.

I think that's always been my sticking point before even considering the BNP. Whatever they might say, at the end of the day, they will be entrusted with the job of running the country/constituency. Until anyone reaches that stage, how can the be considered as credible candidates?

Why don't you try reading what she writes instead of reading about her. She has never claimed to be objective, but she is razor sharp and her books are always superbly researched as well as riotously amusing.

Got to disagree here mate, I appreciate where your coming from and would feel the same if it was my nan.

However Ive known Ray for a long time and he is a good man, he used to take my dad, me and his son to watch England games, never asked for a penny for the tickets or the petrol, and his devotion to SUFC and at the time England is amazing.

We all have to do a job and at times its at the detriment of others.
