I saw that exact interview in 11th grade philosophy class. I agree with your take on it. It was funny though as I say since we had many conservatives in that class who loved her. I know that they were conservatives since when we discussed bio-ethics (euthanasia, abortion, and stuff later) they were dramatically opposed.
I think she tends to attract young people who are more apt to wrestle with faith or religious issues. Not that older folks haven’t been attracted to her, but I really do agree with Virginia upthread that she attracts sociopaths.
