I went to your link and it appears that you are misrepresenting what Alterman said. He was trying to make a point and follows your quote with this:
I do not mean any of the statements above to be taken literally. I do not mean them at all. None of them. OK?
I don't admire Alterman and I love Coulter but we have to be fair right?
Fair?
What's fair about it?
Fair would be debating Ann's ideas instead of proposing bodily harm to her personally.
I am tired of the leftists who don't practice what they preach. OH THE SO TOLERANT LEFT!!!!
I will honestly tell you that I will kick his ass from here to wherever to protect her right of free speech. Maybe I'm still too old fashioned but a man who advocates violence against a woman is still liable to get his butt kicked in my neck of the woods.
Merry Christmas
Fair
