Ah, Jillian -- the poster child for going off, excuse the expression, "half-cocked." A pity that your irrational hate of the right prevents you from seeing the truth. Now pay careful attention to the events as they unfolded and you may see the cleverness of Coulter's humor:
Bill Maher, that vile, hateful spokesman of the left, suggested that it would be a good thing if Vice-President Richard Cheney were to be killed, there was no disapproval from those of your ilk. But when Our-Gal Ann used a gay slur with respect to "the two Americas -- children born in marriage and my other one" (refering to Edward's illegitimate child), all the libs fell on the floor and banged their little fists up and down. So Ann said, with satire and tongue firmly in cheek, it would be best if next time she suggested Edward be killed. Get it?
Remember this?
When Conservative pundit Ann Coulter insults Democrat John Edwards with a gay slur, the Chron has a hissy fit. When in the same week, Bush bashing pundit Bill Maher expresses regret that Vice President Cheney was not successfully assassinated, not a peep from our fair minded Chronicle writers.

So you see, Ms. Half-Informed, your "should be killed in a terrorist attack because she disagrees with his politics" was misplaced, and should be aimed at Maher. But you wouldn't dare do that, as it might cost you some of your liberal creds.
Let's review:
Coulter was not suggesting death to anyone.
She was merely, spotlighting that the gay slur was more important to those on your side of the aisle than the death of Cheney.
Apologise?
