I don't respect what she says, I respect the fact she has the balls (or lady curtains ) to says what she thinks, instead of what everyone says you ought to think. She is NOT right on 99% of what she says, but the fact she questions things I find admirable in today's society of 'I'd better not say what I think, or I'll get flamed - I'll just agree with the masses".
I will admit that I certainly don't follow her closely, so have no authority to judge her actions or evaluate her opinions.
So I assume you would also respect Hitler, given he also said what he thought and had the balls to follow through on it?
