Did these politictians scream for censorship when Ward Churchill referred to these ladies' husbands as "little Eichmanns?"

No, they didn't...and therein lies the stupidity of the "Ann went too far" trolls.

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.

Screw them.

When they can come up with a polite way to worm the cows, then they'll have a reason to open their pie-holes.
