What suprises me about this thread is the number of people who have raised Ann Coulter to the status of a demi-god. She has many insightful comments but I would hardly classify her as the leader of the conservative movement. She makes poor decisions just like any other conservative--let's not hold her out to be perfect. I respect the fact that Ann was probably lashing out following the death of her friend Barbara Olson but other NR contributors knew Barbara as well and did not write similiar articles.
To those who keep reminding me and others that we are at war-- Do you think that you are in on some secret that the rest of us don't know about? Some things do change in wartime, agreed, but that doesn't mean that we abandon all our principles of fairness and reason (that is why the U.S. is morally superior to our enemies) to accomplish military objectives.
The "firing" of Coulter has been labelled a PC move by NR, yet she was the one who ran to television claiming to be a victim of censorship. That strikes me as a Liberal, PC tactic.
