As I remember, she was at her worst when talking about Norman Mineta's experience as an internee during the Second World War (he was 10 at the time). She deliberately minimized it, denigrated him, went out of her way to insult all the internees, and was just a complete stone witch about it.

That really turned me off - coming from a woman with no children.

This is all Coulter wrote on that subject:

Mineta obstinately refused to consider a relevant airport screening procedure on the grounds that fifty years earlier another Democrat had put him in and internment camp. "I remember on the 19th of May 1941"--note that he remembers that day--"when we boarded the trains in San Jose under armed guard, the military guard. I was in my Cub Scout uniform carrying a baseball, baseball glove and a baseball bat. And as I boarded the train, the MPs confiscated the bat on the basis it could be used as a lethal weapon." A guard took Mineta's baseball bat as a child, and as a result he was subjecting all of America to the Bataan Death March. Someone should have sent him a baseball bat.

There was no principled basis for opposition to using Arab appearance as a factor in airport screening procedures. The whole country knew that goosing little old ladies boarding planes was not making us any safer.

She said more - a lot more - on the radio. Was as deliberately offensive as she could be.

I think Ann could empathize with Mineta! As I recall she told a story of while being processed by airport security, she had a charm necklace (bracelet) confiscated from her, as it had a bullet charm on it. (It could be used as a weapon, dontcha know)
