Ann Coulter, You're No Sister Souljah
By: Jennifer Rubin

Ann Coulter is not African-American, does not sing and never said If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people? However, she is the closest the Republicans will get to Sister Souljah.
Coulter has made a career of interspersing insightful and cutting political criticism with outrageous and morally repugnant remarks. She attracted considerable attention with her crack about the group of 9/11 widows dubbed the Jersey girls, with a line in one of her books, These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them. ... Ive never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much.
Then, there was her crack about Muslims at last years Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC): I think our motto should be post-9-11, rag head talks tough, rag head faces consequences. At CPAC on Thursday, in endorsing Republican presidential aspirant Mitt Romney, who needs more bad press like a hole in the head, she piped up with this one: I was going to say something about John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot.
It's about time for a presidential contender, perhaps all of them in the spirit of Newt Gingrichs crusade for improving public discourse, to say enough. Coulters never-ending stream of venom is not amusing, unhelpful to Republicans, and not in keeping with the ideals of a party that fancies itself as the proponent of a colorblind society and heir to Lincoln.
Even though Ms. Coulter never actually said Edwards is a faggot
She's just as full of shit as Michael Moore.
I find that to be very true. I was a huge Michael Moore fan, until I met him at the 2004 Bush Coronation in NYC. What an arrogant, pompous, egotistical blowhard.
Coulter is merely a publicity seeking airhead c*nt with no plausible reason to exist. Her last known bed partner is a rodeo cowboy known to vote Democratic. When called out on this before, Coulter said "my political views stop at the bedroom door."
I would love to see a debate between Coulter and The Mad Pundit.
I'm no Edwards or Coulter fan, but she did call him a faggot. You don't have to actually say the words "so and so is _____" to actually say so and so is _____. Always amusing to see the apologists circling the wagons. I might have a shred more respect for her if she'd just come out and called him one. She reminds me a lot of Bill Maher. They're both overly impressed with their own wit.
Threatened by an intelligent women ehh gabby?
She went out of her way to not call him a faggot, and they want her to apologize for it. So does that mean he is?
Isn't being a faggot supposedly a badge of honor on the left nowadays?
BTW, considering what you guys have called her in the past and even on this thread, isn't this a bit hypocritical to be upset over?

She's hot.
What "you guys" are you talking about?
No Hate Speech by Prominent Leftists?
Filed under: General — Patterico @ 12:01 am
A certain intellectual fraud who goes by the name of Glenn Greenwald (as well as a few other names) recently said that leftist hate speech is not uttered by prominent leftist figures, but rather only by anonymous blog comments and e-mailers:
t is undeniably true that there are people of every ideological stripe who express profane and reprehensible sentiments. The difference is that right-wing authors, talk radio hosts and bloggers — read and listened to by millions of people — traffic in such sentiments regularly . . . . But to find such sentiments outside of right-wing circles, one must go where right-wing bloggers went today — digging into anonymous blog comments (or e-mails allegedly received). That difference is so obvious — and so meaningful — that it all ought to go without saying.
This post puts the lie to Greenwald’s ridiculous assertion.
Below I have listed more than 20 examples of hate speech by prominent leftist figures, such as politicians, journalists writing for major newspapers or radio networks, television and movie industry personalities, and the like.
I have restricted the examples to true hate speech, such as calling for (or exulting over) the beating and/or deaths of conservatives, or naked racism and anti-Semitism. I have deliberately excluded speech that simply brands conservatives as Nazis or fascists. Such speech is hateful, but I want to leave minimum room for leftists to quibble with the list.
Brace yourself for the leftist hate:
* National Public Radio legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg:
f there is retributive justice [Sen. Jesse Helms] will get AIDS from a transfusion, or one of his grandchildren will get it.
* USA Today syndicated columnist Julianne Malveaux, on Clarence Thomas:
I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease.
* Washington Post syndicated columnist Richard Cohen:
For hypocrisy, for sheer gall, [Newt] Gingrich should be hanged.
... it goes on and on...
