Apparently liberals are no longer the only ones who are tiring of Ann Coulter's sick "sense of humor". It appears that her comment regarding poisening Justice Stevens was going too far. Even people who rationalize and defend her comments as satire, should have issues with her claiming to be a "devout, faithful Christian" and making comments like she does.
The group Citizens for Principled Conservatism Link has launched a series of attacks on the hateful comments made by "Conservative" Ann Coulter. This group describes itself as;
Citizens for Principled Conservatism is a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to the proposition that Conservatism can only endure as a viable and vibrant movement if it maintains a commitment to the core character traits of honor and integrity, honesty and virtue.
However, these character traits are not exclusively conservative in nature and cannot be co-opted by a single political party. Consequently, this coalition reaches across party lines to all those who believe that those core character traits are necessary ingredients for the public square and all those who inhabit it.
They have also launched the site coulterwatch.com and have put together some flash movies about Coulter.
bradblog.com has been covering this story for some time;
Borchers series of videos highlights the dangers, as he sees it, of Coulter's "extremism" and its fundamental harm to the true Conservative movement -- as opposed to Bush, DeLay, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter et al's "Conservative" movement, which is anything but conservative. He hopes the series will serve Coulter's campus speaking tour audiences and the media in general, with material to refute Coulter's "pugnacious punditry and predatory polemicism," as Borchers describes it.
In fact, Coulter's "jokes" about who should be killed and how, when taken in total as compiled in the following video presentation, paints a rather disturbing picture of the iconic darling of the "Conservative" movement and her rabid obsession with death and destruction.
"All too often, Coulter’s hateful words are treated as humor rather than the hate speech it really is," Borchers explained. He even goes so far as to compare Coulter to Osama bin Laden in one section of the video, suggesting they might be "Separated at Birth?"
"Rhetorically, yes. The parallels are obvious," he wrote in a recent email. "As for actualization, who knows whether a nut case has or will follow-up on Coulter’s rhetoric and attack or kill someone just because they are liberals?"
"Incendiary language is intended to inflame emotions and who knows whether someone may become unhinged enough to do as she suggests? Shouting "Fire!" as a prank in a crowded building is illegal because it can have lethal consequences. Proclaiming a jihad against liberals and death to liberals is similarly dangerous, especially in the volatile political climate in America and in the world (and in time of war, no less)."
