If you do not know the context in which Ann Coulter writes than I can understand why you think her statement is uncivil. However, I have read all her books and I read her weekly column and I understand her writings and because of that I do not and will not take offense from it. Anyone who does, is acting "holier than thou" or appeasing to the dems. That's my story.

I'm well aware of the context in which Ann writes. She is witty and acerbic. Although, I don't think her first? book was like that. I think it was called "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" or something like that. (I'd have to go down and sift through a pile in the basement to get the exact title.) It was a well-argued, factually-based book indicting Bill Clinton. As I recall, that one was not her typical biting wit, but based more on her legal knowledge. The argument that she is being "taken out of context", is starting to carry as much water as "The dog ate my homework." You can call Ann's words many things, but "civil" does not come to mind. Even Sean Hannity, who predictably defends her only by pointing to the harsh words of others, acknowledges that she is acerbic. That is her style. Now again, "your story" can be whatever you want it to be. If you don't mind or even appreciate her style, go ahead. Just don't pretend it wasn't a personal attack, which it clearly was, or that those who condemn it can't be conservative and sincere.
