I'm not sure why you're pinging mods to your attempt at bullyragging me, but let me give you some advice. If you want to issue a challenge to a college professor, asking him to find a page number for a quotation is pretty silly. It's like challenging an NBA center to shoot a layup. We have a large building we call a library - you may have heard rumors of such things - a thousand feet from my desk.

In the paperback edition of High Crimes of Misdemeanors, top of page 107, Coulter wrote the following

In this recurring nightmare of a presidency, we have a national debate about whether he "did it," even though all sentient people know he did. Otherwise there would be debates only about whether to impeach or assassinate.

It's not as if this is an isolated incident. A few months ago, "We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens' creme brulee", then tried to laugh it off as a joke. In 2002, she said "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.", and then regretted she had not added "after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters."

Here's a news flash for you and Coulter. We are a constitutional republic, not a banana republic. In this country, we may impeach presidents and judges; we don't assassinate or poison them. We don't kill journalists, not even New York Times journalists. If that's not to your liking, I believe there are still several countries in South America where those sorts of things go on. Maybe you and Coulter can take up residence down there.

I'll tell you something else. Sooner or later, some deranged nut is going to actually kill someone, and then claim they were inspired by Coulter or someone similar. And that will be worth 20 Congressional seats for the Dems in the next election. Clinton made mucho political capital, with far less foundation, by linking Terry McVeigh to Rush Limbaugh, and Rush has never, to my knowledge, said anything even remotely similar to the sort of stuff that Coulter seems to come up with routinely. It's sort of ironic that while people are defending Coulter on this site, some of Coulter's own statements would almost certainly be zotted if they were posted here. You can bet dollars to donuts that if a FReeper called for blowing up the NY Times building, the post and probably the poster would be zotted instantly.

One final thing. I'm not sure why you think it's cute to put scare quotes around 'professor'. My identity is not a secret. It seems to little foolish to complain about how academia is so far left, and then spend your time harassing the few academics who are conservative.
