Is Ann Coulter good for the conservative movement?
James Fitzpatrick has a good article on this question over at Catholic Exchange. I tend to agree with his conclusion that although “popular” conservatives often ignore the intellectual foundation of the conservative movement, they do bring people into the movement. This happened to me, as I started listening to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, but then was introduced to ISI and started reading the founding books by Russell Kirk, Bill Buckley and others.
