There's an objective difference between saying that Ms. Coulter's comments are tasteless and calling for censorship.

Ms. Coulter's comments are not made more tasteful by comparing them to Mr. Churchill's "little Eichmanns" comment. Both are reprehensible - but both are protected political speech. Significantly, however, Mr. Churchill's and Ms. Coulter's comments drove more people away than they convinced.

Only panty waisted girlymen... which is good.

It's driving up her book sales. I understand Godless is #1 at Amazon.

Once again you prove her point! The Jersey Girls can say anything they want and no one can challenge them because of their victim status.

One significant difference in Churchill's and Coulter's comments is that Churchill's comments -indeed his entire life - are subsidized by the taxpayer and protected by tenure whereas Ms. Coulter must compete in the free enterprize system. I suggest you read the entire section on the Jersey girls to put her comments in context before you disregard the validity of her remarks.
