Unlike McCain, Hitler 'Had a Coherent Tax Policy,' Coulter Says By Matt Purple CNSNews.com Correspondent February 08, 2008
(Clarification: Ann Coulter's appeared at the Omni Shoreham hotel but not at CPAC.)
Washington (CNSNews.com) - In a speech at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C., Friday, just down the hall from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), author Ann Coulter said that the primary difference between Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Adolf Hitler was that Hitler "had a coherent tax policy."
Coulter compared a potential alliance between disillusioned conservative Republicans and Sen. Hillary Clinton to the alliance between Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin during World War II, which was formed to defeat Hitler.
"I'm not comparing McCain to Hitler," she added. "Hitler had a coherent tax policy."
The remark received wild applause from the audience of about 500 conservative activists. Many in the crowd seemed hostile to the idea of a McCain presidency and cheered Coulter's attacks on the Arizona senator.
Coulter also criticized McCain for his sponsorship of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, accused him of wanting amnesty for illegal immigrants, and mocked his frequent touting of his military service in Vietnam.
"Couldn't we pick a POW who doesn't want to shut down Guantanamo?" she said.

She’s getting to be a nut.
Besides a harpy, she is sounding more and more like a buffoon
Yes, I used to respect her
Yes, I used to respect her
she’s really beginning to be embarrassing....success has gone to her head. She needs to watch what she says..it’s not all CLEVER.
I'm not going to make the mistake of over-estimating the intelligence of her fans.
Coulter is becoming really sad. I feel badly for her. I used to defend her but now she is just getting ridiculous. Why couldn’t she stick to calling John Edwards a homosexual?
Red meat, but when you throw out Hitler in a debate, no one takes you seriously
yikes. That girl can play hard ball.
something is in the water
As much as this pains me, I believe you’re right.
Ann is about to make a fool of herself.
This woman has no shame. Anyway the more she does this the more she will generate compassion toward McCain, hateful crap like this always causes the opposite effect.
Ouch? For what hit?
C’mon, even the more strident of McCain haters has to think that this might just be a little over the top.
Maybe a little.
Note to all blue-stocking fiscal cons:
THE. BASE.
Bleep em if they can’t take a joke......
What an embarrassment! She would fit in more with WWF wrestling. With Coulter, it’s all about her, 24/7. “Gee, what outrageous thing can I said next to sell books and get my name in print...”
She has lost it. Hitler is the cheap overused vocabulary word of liberals.
Sarcasm is a powerful tool. Again what is McCain’s tax policy?
