Not so, according to a column by Jonah Goldberg. He said they objected to the one column, and Coulter threw a fit and quit.
"....her flights of fancy go back a long way. No punches are pulled. Ted Kennedy is an “adulterous drunk”.
Get real, Sullivan! That description of Kennedy is NO flight of fantasy. The girl Ted killed, while he was DRUNK?
"In Coulter’s world there are two types of people: conservatives and liberals. These are not groups of people with competing ideas. They are the repositories of good and evil. There are no distinctions among conservatives or among liberals."
Sullivan can't have read "Treason", where Coulter talks about Democrats who have swerved to the extreme Left, and those who didn't.
"Liberals are “devoted to class warfare, ethnic hatred and intolerance”. Liberals “hate democracy because democracy requires persuasion and compromise rather than brute political force”.
Those are true statements, hardly indictments of Coulter!
"....by defending the tactics of McCarthy, she actually plays directly into the hands of the left."
It is Sullivan here who rejects "nuances"....McCarthy was an imperfect human being but his charges of Soviet spies in our government were ALL based in fact.
".....shameless hucksters of ideological hate."
Sullivan would have conservatives continue to condemn ourselves to oblivion by "niceness"....which David Horowitz constantly warns us against.
I don't know what Sullivan's problem is, but he's all wet comparing Coulter to the abominable Michael Moore.
Also, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, Crown, 2002.
Also, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, Regnery, 1998.
Sullivan et al make splash such slanderous smears without citing a single page, paragraph or footnote.
Oh, but it can't be that Andrew didn't bother to read the book.
