Screaming Banshee of the Right

Time magazine makes an attempt to humanize the slanderous, shrill-voiced Ann Coulter in their cover story this week. This is a woman who thinks Joe McCarthy was a great American and everyone…yes, everyone who describes themselves as “liberal” is a traitor. Like Tom Tomorrow, I have to wonder why the editors of Time choose this week, the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombings, to have Coulter as their cover girl in view of her flippant remarks about that horrific incident:

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

-Ann Coulter as quoted in the New York Observer, Aug. 20, 2002

"RE: McVeigh quote. Of course I regret it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.'"

-Ann Coulter, from an interview with Right Wing News

But, taste has never been Coulter’s strong suite.


Have they no shame?

Some other gems from Coulter:

"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote. No, they all have to give up their vote, not just, you know, the lady clapping and me. The problem with women voting -- and your Communists will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it. And when they take these polls, it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care."

Phil Donahue: "I just want to make sure we got this right. Liberals hate America. They hate all religions except Islam. Liberals love Islam, hate all other religions."

Ann Coulter: "Post 9/11."

Donahue: "Well, good for you."
