The opening as it read in 2005
Debbie Schlussel (born 1969 ) is a right-wing radio talk show host, columnist and (since May, 2005) blogger. She routinely targets Muslims for most of her political rants, though she occasionally targets feminists instead (Ms. magazine once called her "Public Enemy #1"). Controversially, Schlussel frequently labels people who support Palestine, or others who disagree with Israel, "terrorists". While many times her research is very thorough and the label more or less on target resulting in exposures that no one else has bothered to uncover, other times her findings, though technically factual, involve an extremely loose connection; Howard Stern , whose radio show she occasionally guest stars on, has jokingly called her column "Six Degrees of Separation to Al-Qaida". In the most extreme example, on her new blog, she equates being a fan of either Michael Jackson or soccer with supporting terrorism; using the loose association that a majority of Americans do not support either, whereas both are quite popular in many Islamic nations. In addition to her columns, she is also an agent who represents several professional athletes. She has been compared to Ann Coulter , another Conservative columnist, but hasn't achieved the same degree of mainstream exposure (she has more exposure in her native Detroit than she does nationally). She does have a large Yahoo fan club following partially due to being somewhat of a sex symbol to some of her male fans.1
