Huh?

I was just reading Ann Coulter's latest piece of work.  But I don't think that I understand it.  Can someone explain it to me?

So now, the entire country is ignoring liberals. I'm the canary in the coal mine. Twenty-six congressmen have signed a letter denouncing me for a column I wrote two weeks ago; for the past two weeks, I've been attacked on MSNBC and CNN, in the Detroit Free-Press and on every known liberal blog and radio show. (I especially want to thank Pacifica Radio in this regard.) I personally have shouted their complaints from the rooftops. Liberals had fallen into my trap!

But there was no point in responding because no one had heard about the liberal denunciations in the first place. It was like explaining a joke: OK, and then they said, "Call me a cab," and then I said, "You're a cab! Are you following this? ... Sorry, let me start over again."

This is like beating Dennis Kucinich in an untelevised presidential debate. That and $8.50 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbuck's. I'm tired of helping liberals publicize their attacks on me. Liberals are going to have to do better than that if they want a response from me.

It's not just that we're a divided nation, with liberals watching only CNN and conservatives watching only Fox News. I'm pretty sure liberals are aware of me, and I haven't appeared on CNN for months. It's liberals the country is ignoring. No one knows or cares what they're carrying on about in their media outlets. Liberals can't get arrested. They're even letting Martin Sheen off with a warning now.

I think she's saying that liberals attacked her for calling Helen Thomas an "old Arab," but is making fun of them for not attacking her enough, because "the country is ignoring" liberals.  But I'm not quite sure. 

If that's what she's saying, it's kind of sad, right?  That she's so full of hate that she can't think of anything else in the week's news to write about other than to say that liberals didn't attack her enough for something that she said that she apparently knows is wrong.  I would feel sorry for her if it weren't that I didn't feel sorry for her at all. 

But seriously, if anyone out there can decipher that column, please tell me.

Maybe she needs her medications checked. Sounds incoherent to me, and as we all know, that is the first sign of a serious monkey on the back.

Just ask Brush Lintball.

That's easy: she's playing the battle-tested tactic of making fun of one's opponent for being irrelevant and hypersensitive, as a smokescreen against whatever greivance those pathetic crybabies have this week. It's much in the same vein as the "fencing" tactic Digby expounded upon recently. And you know, it works.
