Citing the cases of at Ezra Pound, Mildred Gillars ("Axis Sally") and Iva Toguri D'Aquino ("Tokyo Rose") who were all charged with treason for radio broadcasts intended to demoralize the troops during World War II, Coulter wrote that the first two were were severely punished and Pound committed to a mental hospital.

"There was no evidence that in any of these cases the treasonable broadcasts ever put a single American life in danger. The law on treason doesn't require it," she wrote.

Right on the money!

'Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States ...

This is the "Times" out. They don't owe their allegiance to the United States. They owe it to the Left wing liberal socialist kook fringe...!

Phil Brennan, by putting his name on the byline of this cut_n_paste job of a Coulter piece, should have his lazy ass fired.

Pound was captured in Italy by American troops and put into a cage. He describes it in the Pisan Cantos.

He was committed to St. Elizabeth's mental hospital in Washington by his friends and admirers, including T. S. Eliot, because if he hadn't pretended to be crazy he would have been tried and executed. He was a great poet but an odd duck.

Which is what should be done in the case of the four traitors at the Times and the government traitors who leaked to them.

Ann, re: Tokyo Rose & Axis Sally:

Their broadcasts were sort of like Janeane Garofalo and Randi Rhodes on Air America Radio — except Tokyo Rose was actually witty, and Axis Sally is said to have used a fact-checker.

BWAHHHHHAAAAHHHAHAHA

"Phil Brennan, by putting his name on the byline of this cut_n_paste job of a Coulter piece, should have his lazy ass fired."

That's what I was thinking.

While we're at it, can we get the traitors in Congress too?

Pervert! :-)

[JillValentine]

She reads it herself? I heard they don't always do that.

[wagglebee]

I knew her column had been posted, but this is a STORY on her column. (I guess when your Ann Coulter you get stories written recapping what you've already said.)

If the only 3 keys functioning on my keyboard were CTRL, C and V, my cat could have written the same thing.

[spankalib]

Most of the time, I'm in the 'let 'em talk' camp....let everyone hear their drivel for what it is.

This is not one of those cases, however, and I can't say how much this has angered me. Ann makes her best point at the end, imo.....(a not-so-little poke at Bush):

What's going to be actually done about it, eh?

She reads it herself? I heard they don't always do that.

Yep, Ann is reading the audiobook! :) nice feature. :D
