Fallacies and Ann Coulter

Ann Coulter is an extreme conservative who stresses her point about all political issues through her books and her appearances on several talk shows across America. She uses a very harsh tone. She is able to keep her cool while very strongly making her point. She respectfully listens to what her "opponent" is saying and then she defends her argument by making very brief, to the point remarks about the reality of the situation and then stating what the conservative belief is on the issue. She presents her points usually as a defense to what others, often liberals, have said about it. She holds very strong beliefs so it is therefore usually very easy for Ann to make her points. She never lets the words of others bring her down. She simply continues on with her original belief ignoring what was said against it. I find Ann's method somewhat persuasive. However, I think that she is more the type of person who is willing to stand up for what she believes in whether someone else shares her point of view or not. I think she is far more interested in backing her beliefs than in trying to persuade others to take her side in the argument. Other people may or may not find this type of speaker persuasive. Her strong points could capture people's attention but if the audience is full of people just like Ann who have such strong beliefs, then she would probably have a harder time swaying their opinions. The only fallacy I could point out is one that I personally do not see as a fallacy but several other people may. It occurred as Ann compared the war in Iraq to abortion. I agree with her point that killing is the same in all aspects. However, others may feel that she was comparing two completely different things in this conversation.
