The quotes are petty well documented in her own books and recorded interviews. It's a common enough political tactic used all over - to have a small group of people say stupid stuff to make the rest seem "moderate". It is how Ann makes her money - she winds people up.
The bad part is there are large groups of people who think "at last someone saying what people are too afraid to say". Ann's bread and butter is playing on internalized distrust of non-white people, non-Americans, gays, feminists, and non-Christians.
Ann Coulter isn't hated because she's Conservative... she hated because the stuff she says is baseless, half-truth, emotive, easily debunked, fear-mongering, smug, priveledged, and poorly researched.
