::::Ann Coulter ''does'' appear at genuine conservative conferences, while Limbaugh does not. That speaks volumes in itself. Also, Coulter's books are at a high level and have been influential, while I can't think of something comparable from Limbaugh, despite having more time and money to do so. There is also an element of self-promotion in Limbaugh's work that doesn't taint Coulter's (or Malkin's) work. Note that Limbaugh seems to get into spats with people potentially on the conservative side, while Coulter gets into spats only with the other side.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:37, 30 December 2009 (EST)

:::::We can give media celebrities like Rush and Coulter some recognition as communicators and popularizers. Both gave voice to many important conservative ideas, despite real (or perceived) personal flaws.
:::::Of course, what we all want is a Leader who emerges as the [[Best of the public]] and initiates a movement for positive change. So far, I'm unaware of any author or talk-show host who can fill those shoes. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:39, 30 December 2009 (EST)
