This comment by Tsach Gilboa on the post Stop Calling Ann Coulter Names. Seriously.
Name-calling is lazy and the refuge of the uninformed and prejudiced. There are so many things wrong with Ann Coulter, so many lies and false statements that she proudly declares as facts on Fox and other outlets that give her a platform (another issue that needs attention), that calling her names is both useless and pathetic and mainly, again , simply lazy. We live in a rude and mediocre culture and Ann is the standard bearer for that. Let’s not help her by calling her names. Let’s simply mostly ignore her and spend some time calling her on her uninformed and false statements.

Food for Thought:
Does name calling, as satisfying as it might be in the moment, advance our democracy and productive exchange of ideas?
