Personally I would like Allan to attempt to do the same type of analysis of Ann Coulter’s scholarship and perhaps we can compare notes. You do know why she’s given up putting footnotes in her recent books?
Calling Wolf’s work scholarship is a misnomer since (last I checked) she is not an academic bound by the strictures of “good scholarship”. She is a feminist writer pure and simple. In fact, a comparison of her work to Coulter’s is appropriate since they both (in essence) are hacks.
However, in reading their respective books, who’s the true “hate” monger and who is the person attempting to make our society a better place? I’d say Coulter for the former and Wolf for the latter (and you might disagree).
Allan, way back in undergrad, for my military propaganda class (one of my undergrad majors was military history), I did a paper on how the press and GIs perceived and treated Germans versus the Japanese (including POWs and trophies of war). Have an educated guess on what the general trend line was?
