I think Ann Coulter and Michael Moore definitely can be considered protesters. Coulter often times complains about the liberal media and the methods of left winged people. Moore on the other hand is her exact opposite. Although he has criticized Republicans of all sorts, he is most often identified as a George Bush basher. Both Moore and Coulter complain about the opinions and methods of certain people on current issues. I think the reason that the two are so popular is because we as Americans love it when people just speak their minds. We all have opinions on a subject if we are educated enough to know what it is about. Coulter is one of those love or love to hate people. If she wasn’t as arrogant do you think we would be talking about her at all? What about Michael Moore? If he wasn’t so biased would we be talking about him at all? Once more why do you think we are talking about both of them in the same blog? It’s because they believe in complete opposites, yet they both feel that they are unquestionably right. Coulter appeals to people that agree with her and angers people that can’t stand her. Yet I must admit as I said in class I just love hearing her speak just to see how radical she can be. Michael Moore is the same way. I agree with some of the things he says however at times he is too extreme. We as Americans just love agreeing and/or disagreeing. Its not necessarily about loving/hating these two political pundits. It is more whether you love/love to hate them. Everyone just seems to have an opinion and we just like knowing how we feel about certain things.

I think you are very right about Coulter and Moore. In order to gain attention, they have to have some sort of defining trait. Ann Coulter is arrogant and Michael Moore is manipulative. Not traits that most care to embody, but attention equals press - no matter how others feel.
