Im ashamed to have known you: Conservatives rip Ann Coulter for ugly smear of hero soldiers dadConservative writer and professional provocateur Ann Coulter may have finally gone too far Thursday night after mocking the Muslim father of a U.S. Army captain who died while saving ten of his fellow soldiers in Iraq in 2004.
Speaking at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, the father of Army Capt. Humayun S.M. Khan delivered a powerful and impassioned speech attacking GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for questioning the patriotism of American Muslims.
After relating the tale of his sons heroism in sacrificing his life by stopping a suicide bomber, Khizr Khan launched a devastating attack on Trump.
...snip
Khans attack on the GOP nominee triggered unabashed Trump supporter Ann Coulter, who tweeted: You know what this convention really needed? An angry Muslim with a thick accent like Fareed Zacaria.
Coulters reference was misspelled and in reference to CNN host Fareed Zakaria.
Her ugly smear set off conservatives, including longtime friend and editor John Podhoretz who admitted, Im ashamed ever to have known you.
A sampling below: (assorted outraged tweets by a cavalcade of conservatives, including Erik Erickson, John Poderetz, etc...)

She really is the most miserable, desperate, vile POS. Her expiration date has long since passed. It's good to see that conservatives are heaping the scorn and derision on her despicable comments that she so richly deserves.

(60,298 posts)They once did that for her but not so much now.
Maybe it was that Trump stole her vitriol mojo.

Coulter desperately wants to be on TV. Outrageous comments no matter how vile often do the trick.
