Apparently the union laborers you know are very different people than the ones I know.

I doubt it. It's more likely that your perception of such people is skewed by your own world view.

True enough, and Ann came from the mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut, a well known hotbed of populism.

Read the original article, and then try to explain how Coulter's big house is in any way hypocritical as to what she wrote.

“That’s the thing about “implication” - it takes SOME mental capacity to make the necessary inference.”

Has it ever occurred to you that your prejudice may cause you to see implications that are not there?

How about addressing what she actually wrote first then you can continue on the pretense that you can read her mind.

When you can de-link the union membership from the radical left, give me a call.

…”the rest of us” in her reference goes to people who aren’t agitating for wholesale evisceration of the West on the Sacred Altar of the Divine Mosquito, like the DiCaprios of the world. Get it? The hypocrisy here is not in her mansion: it’s in how the DiCaprios of the world live while they’re telling “the rest of us” how we should exist in caves without even the comfort of animal skins for warmth. Coulter is not one of them.

This is fine if it's limited to the DiCarprios of the world. The problem with Coulter is that she conflates Leo with union electricians, because they're "liberals, which is excatly the kind of thing that demonstrates the facile and unserious nature of her commentary.

Maybe I missed it or I’m not loaded or something but I don’t think it’s there.

That's the thing about "implication" - it takes SOME mental capacity to make the necessary inference.

When the current crop of leading conservative pundits are long gone James, you are not going to replace them. There will be just another set of demagogues doing and saying the same things.

This has been the history of conservatism in America. Look it up.

Nonsense. Coulter, unlike the left, isn’t making the judgement that being rich is bad. The left’s been working on that socialist assumption for longer than either of us has been alive.

THIS is nonsense, and a claim that disproves itself. If "liberals" make "the judgement that being rich is bad," how can rich, beach-dwelling liberals expect be insulated from policies that will punish... rich beach-dwellers?

What Coulter does is really play on two things. First, that all "liberals" fall into the much-derided "liberal elite" (untrue), and second, that this liberal elite favors policies that would punish similarly situated rich folk without impacting the liberals themselves (flat out impossible). Either that, or that the liberal elite favors policies that hurt poor, red-blodded americans (debatable, but no more true than to say the same thing about conservatives).

The real problem with Coulter's diatribe is that the sole evidence for indicting liberals as elitists absolutely applies to her situation; THIS is hypocracy, in that she implies that the crime is in having beach houses. I mean, if you have a beach house, you should be pro-life and for a Christian state, right? Otherwise you're a hypocrite, right?

How exactly is that hypocrisy by Coulter? She’s not saying that it’s bad to own beachfront property or to be wealthy.

Exactly so.

Because she’s creating a false meme of “us” vs. “them” by saying that “they” have beachhouses so “they’re’ not worried about the economy, when in fact, in Coulter’s case, “they” are “us.”

Nonsense. Coulter, unlike the left, isn't making the judgement that being rich is bad. The left's been working on that socialist assumption for longer than either of us has been alive.

I am suddenly reminded of an admonition from Rush Limbaugh when he said if one argues with an idiot it becomes difficult to tell the difference between two, so I will terminate my comments here.
