Ann Thrax

I see the hateful Ann Coulter is gracing the cover of Time magazine this week. She's being promoted as some sort of cultural icon. Disgusting. Digby speaks fo me, too:
Seeing Ann Coulter feted on the cover of Time magazine as a mainstream
political figure instead of the deranged, murderous extremist she actually is
was quite a shock. And then a friend sent me the links to the Free Republic
thread discussing the death of Marla Ruzicka, which made me so nauseous that I had to shut down for a while.

Ann Coulter is not, as Howie Kurtz asserts today, the equivalent of Michael Moore. Michael Moore is is not advocating the murder of conservatives. He just isn't. For instance, he doesn't say that Eric Rudolph should be killed so that other conservatives will learn that they can be killed too. He doesn't say that he wishes that Tim McVeigh had blown up the Washington Times Bldg. He doesn't say that conservatives routinely commit the capital offense of treason. He certainly doesn't put up pictures of the fucking snoopy dance because one of his political opponents was killed. He doesn't, in other words, issue calls for violence and repression against his political enemies. That is what Ann Coulter does, in the most coarse, vulgar,
reprehensible way possible.

While Ann Coulter makes the cover of Time for writing that liberals have a
"preternatural gift for striking a position on the side of treason," her
followers actually side with Iraqi insurgents against an American charity
worker. At freeperland and elsewhere they laughed and clapped and enjoyed the
fruits of the enemy's labor. This is because if you listen to Ann and Rush and
Sean and Savage and all the rest of these people you know that there is no
greater enemy on the planet than the American liberal. That's what Ann Coulter
and her ilk are selling and that is what Time magazine celebrated with their
cover girl this week.
Go read his whole rant.

Also, be sure to revisit this clip of Ann showing just how stupid and arrogant she reall is.
