I'm very opposed to this kind of statement, because one of my core beliefs is that reasonable people can and will disagree on politics. This sounds too much like people calling Bush or Obama stupid when they disagree.
I suspect that you have a strongly opposing political ideology to Coulter's, and this is biasing you against her. I am aware of factual errors in some of her books, especially the ones about evolution, obviously. But assuming that you don't like Coulter and that you disagree with her values, I don't think you can objectively comment on her rationality.
You can doubt k3nt's ability to recognize such cases correctly, but there's no internal inconsistency in his description.
I know that many people - certainly public media or political personas - are, in fact, ideologists of this kind. I can't say about Coulter because I'm not from the USA and know nothing about her...
