Fourth Newspaper Dumps Ann Coulter
By Greg Sargent | bio
Editor and Publisher -- which has been doing yeoman's work keeping track of all the newspapers that have decided they don't want to publish the work of someone who calls people "ragheads" and "faggot" in public -- now brings us news of a fourth paper that has chucked her overboard.

From a statement by the editor of the Times of Shreveport, LA:

Today we move past the rhetoric and unproductive dialogue offered by Ann Coulter. The Times is dropping her column effective immediately.

It is her recent “joke” about John Edwards being considered a “faggot” that is the back-breaking straw for a decision we've openly discussed for some time. We had a dialogue with readers last year regarding whether Coulter was a responsible commentator and journalist.

Her repeated use of hyperbole in the call for the death of some journalists and politicians was beyond the pale. And while we all believe she was “just kidding,” her "shock-jock'' writing style is no different from Howard Stern's practical jokes and bathroom humor that aims to draw a school-yard snicker but falls well short of reasonable, thought-provoking journalism. Unlike the work of a Thomas Sowell or a Kathleen Parker, two thoughtful conservatives, does a Coulter column raise the level of discourse?

The answer: rarely.

5. C. is the Ahmahdinejad of the Right.

Funny, how Reality has this symmetry, isn't it?

Out of the "chaos", they evoke their own. They create and inflict themselves on the rest of us.

10. Siskiyou County, CA

I'm up in the northern (red) part of the state. Even for the local paper, Colter has become toxic, and they have canceled her column in the past few weeks.

11. What's the hold up? Why haven't they all dumped her yet?

[BonnieJW]

12. Which papers carry her column?

Are there a lot of them? Any big ones?

17. I would like to know the samething............ that way we

could contact them and ask them to drop this hate-filled monsters column.

[Cha]

13. That's good. This paper from

Shreveport, LA brought up some of her other hateful taunts as well. They should have mentioned slander's vulgarity towards the 9/11 widows which was hitleresque.

14. "the rhetoric and unproductive dialogue offered by Ann Coulter"

How does that feel you harpy?

15. Annthrax's 15 minutes are almost up.

She's not relevant anymore, with the GOP going down in flames all around her and the conservative "movement" being seen for the fraud that it really is.

16. Excellent news!

:kick:

[Disturbed]

18. This is why she is now spinning her own comments.

She usually lays it on thicker instead of trying to worm her way out of her vile comments. Now she knows that she may lose money and is trying to change her meaning.

"'Faggot' isn't offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said on FOX News' "Hannity and Colmes." A Coulter

19. "Now she knows that she may lose money and is trying to change her meaning."

You got that right. If it's one thing that will get these right-wing idiots attention, it is hitting them where it hurts - their poketbook!
