With friends like these--the rhetoric of Ann Coulter and Michael Moore

I don't really know if there is a formal entity that can disambiguate "protesters" from "non-protesters", but if it comes down to it, I guess Michael Moore and Ann Coulter are protesters. They both raise questions to the leaders of society and try to uncover truth where they believe it is hidden. In Moore's documentary films, he leads the viewer through his map reasoning of how everything seems to be connected to each other. He does a good job of persuading the audience to believing his points and conclusions. Coulter does her job by creating witty remarks and personal attacks to the replies of the person she is arguing. I feel as if both of these people, however, concentrate too heavily on trying to make their opponents look bad, as if that is their primary objective. Using this tactic is what I believe has given them their popularity. I think that by debating things in this manner, it attracts more attention for the average viewer and makes the issue seem more interesting as a consequence of making it more dramatic. That is why I believe that Michael Moore and Ann Coulter still have jobs today.
