LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, speaking at a traditionally black college, joked that Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned.

Coulter had told the Philander Smith College audience Thursday that more conservative justices were needed on the Supreme Court to change the current law on abortion. Stevens is one of the court's most liberal members.

"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."

Coulter has made a career of writing and lecturing on her strongly conservative views.

At one point during her address, which was part of a lecture series, some audience members booed when she cut off two questioners. "I'm not going to be lectured to," Coulter told one man in a raised voice.

She drew more boos when she said the crack cocaine problem "has pretty much gone away."

If I said what I thought about the liberal justices I'd be banned from FR. Her statement was putting it mildly.

Damn, Souter and Breyer are too young(late 60's) to pass away..I don't worry about Ginsburg and Stevens though..they are both old and sick

[conservativebabe]

Watch the MSM eat her alive for that though.

[colorado tanker]

Bad taste. She shouldn't have gone there, even as a "joke."

[billorites]

Now someone has to post a picture of Justice Stevens in something skimpy.

I don't worry about Ginsburg and Stevens though..they are both old and sick - would it not be fun to watch the Ginsburg replacement by W?

It's really not funny to joke about killing people.

[The KG9 Kid]

I'm presuming she's said this deliberately to illustrate how the media will magnify this story because a conservative is saying it, while they've let so many liberals off the hook in the past for saying similar and worse.

I'm interested to see how much furor will arise from this.

Was it Maxine Waters or Julianne Malvou(?) who wished that Vice President Cheney would eat lots of butter and fat so he would die of a heart attack???...One of the two said that.

[Semper Paratus]

Watch the MSM eat her alive for that though.

Just like they did to Nina Totenberg for wishing AIDS on Justice Thomas.

[cammie]

She's a smart woman, but that's one dumb-ass and inappropriate comment.

[TexasCajun]

Pundits joking about killing or wishing death upon fellow Americans, even if liberal is not wise.

[TheBigB]

It was Julianne Malveaux, but it was about Clarence Thomas, not Cheney.

Oh....I think it is funny for some targets. The South Park episode on the killing of Osama Bin Laden was hilarious.
