In a column today, its editor, Stan Voit, explains, "I've been a newspaperman for most of the last 35 years. But I admit I have never encountered anything like the reaction to this paper dropping Ann Coulter's column. You'd have thought we came out against Christmas or SEC football."

Guess what, Stan. Most conservatives are not the mealy mouthed wussies like the GOP politicians who trampled each to be the first in line to "condemn" Annie

If Mr. Voit was honest with himself, he would realize that the censorship he is implementing is akin to coming out against Christmas or Vol football.

Stan, you're a blithering idiot. Ann's columns are a little deeper than just the surface punchline. As s newspaperman for the better part of the last 35 years, you sure haven't learned much have you?

Hmmm! Sounds like another liberal case of not being able to examine the bread and finding the side with the butter. Figures!!

[ajolympian2004]

Or REAL Reagan conservatives who rightfully criticized Ann Coulter for her assinine comments about john edwards at CPAC.

[msnimje]

It was really short sighted to drop her column.

She will be a "cash cow" long after that faggot has gone home to his "Casa Dos Americas" with his purdy tail between his legs this fall.

I don't get these people, the same ones that liked her before the "F" comment still like her, and the ones that didn't still don't. Nothing has changed, just the loudness of the screeching! And the side that likes her is just STARTING to screech!!!!

They wont listen to mere emails or letters. Cancel your subscription and stop buying their rag. That will get their attention.

I wonder: if Coulter had used "girly man" instead of "faggot" to describe the Breck Girl, would Voit have NOT censored her column?

He may CLAIM to be running a conservative paper, but he neither walks nor quacks like a conservative editor of a conservative paper. He uses left's most popular key phrase, "mean spirited" - used to justify almost any means to an end which complies with a liberal agenda - to describe Coulter's column and thereby justify censoring her work. He's obviously unaware that REAL conservatives only use that keyphrase with heavy irony.

He says other syndicated authors are ALSO not published, but that isn't the point. OTHER syndicated authors are NOT being blacklisted by his paper. Their columns therefore COULD be published at any time, like to replace Coulter's censored column. So he's also being intellectually dishonest, in other words LYING, to the public to further justify his action.

No, Voit neither walks or quacks like a conservative. There's no such animal as a conservative paper published by a rabidly liberal editor. He's a rabid liberal.

Guess Stan would have a cow, if he heard Lenny Bruce's skits.

They can't drop Coulter's column in my paper, because they've never run her columns anyway. Or very few conservative columnists. I get a daily dose of E.J. Dionne, Trudy Rubin, David Broder, et al. They print Garrulous Squealer on Sundays as the humor columnist. And this is a relatively small midwestern rag.
