This week on Hardball with Chris Matthews, Elizabeth Edwards called in and asked Ann Coulter to focus on the issues instead of reducing politics to personal attacks. Not only did Ann Coulter decline to acquiesce to Elizibeth’s request, but she couldn’t even attempt to debate anything with Elizabeth. Instead, Ann just went to her “talking points” and repeated standard neocon and Republican smear tactics to try to distract from what could really be an actual debate of issues. The Republican smear campaigns will never stop.

When politely asked to refrain from her personal vendetta, Ann wouldn’t even acknowledge her history. Ann’s failure to recognize her loathsome behavior reinforces what she really is: a Punditainer. Coulter is one who only cares about the issues insomuch as it will improve her ratings and make her paycheck fatter.

If she were a serious political pundit, one might actually value her opinion and possibly even agree with some of her talking points. But she is not serious about anything real. She is merely a mouthpiece to energize the base.

When confronted with reality, with a one on one questions from a fellow citizen, she simply went back into attack mode and did what all good little Republicans do: Smear! Smear! Smear!

Shame on you Ann Coulter. Keep selling your soul. Old Scratch is waiting!
