Coulter's "Macaca moment" spurs newspapers to drop column

[jakem]

In the wake of right-wing pundit Ann Coulter's recent remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference about Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, at least three newspapers -- The Lancaster New Era (Pennsylvania), The Oakland Press (Michigan), and The Mountain Press (Sevierville, Tennessee) -- have decided to drop Coulter's nationally syndicated column from their opinion pages, according to an article on Editor & Publisher's website.

A July 2, 2006, New York Post article about allegations of plagiarism in Coulter's last book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum, 2006), reported that her column "is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers." Media Matters for America has compiled a confirmed list of daily newspapers that currently carry Coulter's column:

2. Add a Shreveport , Louisiana, paper to the list, as of today.

If she ever gets a fraction of a sentence in any history book, it will be to brand her as the junkyard dog she is.

7. Let's keep the pressure on her

I hope each DU'er writes to the newspapers that carry her vile remarks. She has a right to free speech--but she does not have a constitutional right to have a public platform to express her hateful, infantile views.

4. 44 newspapers

5. Good! Now they need to can Limpbag ...

Today he was saying that an Edwards supporter's words that Edwards would be the best choice for women implied that he'd potentially be the "first female president" (along the lines of Bill C. being the "first black president"), so now Gasbag's got a contest going for Edwards' "theme song" with nominees like "I Am Woman" and "Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves". Then he had the gall (stones) to quip, "Gee, if John Edwards were to win the election, I wonder who'd design his inaugural gown ... "

They're really cornering the market on the "schoolyard bully" vote, those Republickers ...

Why anyone even gives that assclown the time of day is beyond my ken.
