Ann Coulter Supports Terrorism

Oh, that crazy, madcap Ann Coulter. You've just gotta love her. If there's anyone that can remind America that conservatives don't actually have a hold on moral righteousness, it's her.

Ann Coulter made an appearance on ABC's Good Morning America on Monday, June 26. I know, I know, I'm kicking myself for missing it too. Turns out we missed a lot: she apparently does regret the slur she used against John Edwards after all. See, she does have a heart somewhere in there. She continued: "If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he has been killed in a terrorist assassination plot." Ben Smith is less interested in the strategy of taking back moral righteousness, and primarily points out that she's a godsend to Democratic fundraising. I can't argue with that, either.

In all fairness, she does say that she's simply referring to when Bill Maher said he wished Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. In equal fairness, Bill Maher never actually said that. But it does make for a pretty good excuse, doesn't it?

I suppose one would instinctively be upset at the fact that she's advocating for the death of a presidential candidate because he's a Democrat. So it probably means that I've been doing this too long when instead I jump at the opportunity to throw an anti-Democratic talking point against the Republicans: Ann Coulter is encouraging a terrorist attack! Ann Coulter supports the terrorists! You heard it here first.
