My letter to Today Show about Ann Coulter....
I just had to say my bit. I doubt it'll do much good, but here it is, anyway...

So, are you really going to treat her as if she's some legitimate independent political thinker? As if she is knowledgeable about the politics of the day?

It wasn't enough that she's still allowed on television after her insults of the 9/11 widows. She was still considered someone with political knowledge despite her saying that Timothy McVeigh should have parked the truck in front of the New York Times instead of the Murrow building where so many lives were lost.

She crawls out of the woodwork again...not with political insight or anything that enlightens the rest of the world. Instead, she returns with another book that does what all her previous others have done. Insult and degrade anyone and everyone who does not think like her.

I challenge you, Today Show, to take out books by Al Franken, Michael Moore, and many others on the Dem side to see if they pander to the lowest common denomonator of humans in the same way Ann Coulter does. I doubt you will find anything that comes close.

Of course, calling liberals names such as traitors is typical of Ann Coulter. She's made a living off of the kind of drudge that's not fit to line my bird's cage.

Now, single mothers are raising criminals and strippers to hear her tell it. "Single motherhood is like a farm team for future criminals and social outcasts." These are her words.

It's my hope that the media recognizes this kind of garbage for what it is and deny her a microphone so she will not be allowed to spew this hateful rhetoric.

1. Actually, let her on the show
I am more liberal tonight than I was this afternoon for one reason, I was listening to Ann Coulter on the radio driving home from work.

She is the best recruiter we Democrats have. I want her to speak. When she opens her mouth, many republicans become democrats.

4. Hmmmm ...
According to a number of threads, she's been banned from NBC/MSBC for life. I also read that Scarborough was lobbying to get them to change their minds. Maybe he was successful.

5. I wonder if her pal Laura Ingraham has heard the "single motherhood" line
That should stir up a catfight.

But they both drink from the same cup, hypocritical bastards that they are.

6. John Hinkley had a mother and father
They are good friends with Poppy and Bar, and donated generously to the campaigns. They must be very proud indeed.
