Ann Coulter's design for the Jews

This would be it, or so it seems:

Next? Springtime for Coulter?

Have you no decency, Ann?

Watch this clip and witness the reptilian Ann Coulter called out by Elizabeth Edwards (HT). Ann then goes on to suggest that she could totally defend calling people fat if only she knew the context in which made that sort of personal attack.

I think it's fair to say that Ann is entering her "fat Elvis" stage where people only bring her out to witness a self-parody.

Unintentional Humour from David Horowitz

After The Poor Man mis-characterized David Horowitz as a former Maoist (a mistake since corrected), Horowitz goes on a tirade in which, among other things, he asserts that only conservatives are allowed to compare people they do not like to Hitler. Among the things that Horowitz asserts:
"Leftists are religious fanatics who believe they are going to change the world. Therefore they look on their political opponents as evil and treat them accordingly. Conservatives are willing to give their opponents the benefit of the doubt (often far too generously) and when they make mistakes in characterizing individuals, they are ready and willing to correct them."

Oh really, what a splendid generalization. Thank you for that set-up, David, here's the punchline:

And if that didn't do it, here's Michael Savage:

Great examples of striving for really accurate characterization there.

Coulter's Guide to Insults

Warning: Contains inappropriate language - unless you are at a conservative convention.
Ann Coulter, as you are all surely aware, caused a bit of a stir this past week by calling John Edwards a faggot. Apparently her justification is that, well, Edwards isn't actually gay and therefore couldn't possibly be offended by such a harmless taunt. Coulter says:
"It is a schoolyard taunt, and unless you're going to announce here on national TV that John Edwards, married father of many children, is gay, it clearly had nothing to do with that. It's a schoolyard taunt."
Oh, so when a slur is applied to someone who is not actually in the category of people that said slur is meant to insult, it's okay. What's next? Maybe Ann will refer to Bill Clinton as a "nigger," it couldn't possibly be offensive, since Clinton is White. Ann's critique of an American with Italian ancestry like Rudy Giuliani could never include hateful words like "wop" but maybe she could call Mitt Romney a "wop" - simply as a schoolyard taunt.

Barack Obama's multiracial heritage makes him a bit of challenge, both "honky" and "nigger" are off the table for Ann. I suppose she could recycle "faggot" but that's getting a bit old. I guess it's part of Coulter's job to figure out this conundrum.

In the meantime, I think I will refer to Ann Coulter as a horrible mutant offspring of Skeletor, Barbie, and Barbie's horse. Remember she could never take offense, because it isn't true - or that's what I'm told.
