Coulter: Maybe Time to 'Go After the Obama Children'

Ann Coulter, a controversial backer of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, suggests that conservatives should begin attacking President Barack Obama's two young daughters.

On Wednesday, Fox News host Sean Hannity told Coulter that liberals had been "feigning outrage" over radio host Rush Limbaugh calling Georgetown University law student a "slut" because she wanted contraception to be covered by her health insurance.

"Coming from people who are constantly telling us about their abortions and their vaginas, no, I find it very hard to believe that they're so upset about any word Rush Limbaugh uses," Coulter explained. "I don't really care what words people use. I don't care about dirty jokes, sexist jokes, racist jokes etcetera, etcetera. All I care about is that they be funny. And I would like to hold a little seminar for certain individuals like David Letterman's writers to explain what is funny and what isn't."

CBS comedian David Letterman apologized in 2009 for joking that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's then-18-year-old daughter, Bristol, had been "knocked up" by New York Yankees baseball player Alex Rodriguez after conservatives insisted he had been talking about Palin's 14-year-old daughter, Piper.

More proof that there is no accounting for aggressive ignorance. Some people just have it.

is awash in outrage over the murder of young black in Florida, Coulter suggests that the hate machine rev up on some black children.
Jesus fucking Christ, Coulter do you realize that the hate that you and the echo chamber spew ends up in some deranged dumb fuck trying to be a hero to the cause?

You really need to come out and not just apologize but tell your minions that you are an idiot for ever spinning up the level of hate in this country.

Your words do have consequences.

almost like trying to deflect any attention about her own personal life, so people focus on her polarizing opinions instead. If I may speculate, I have always held a theory that Coulter is an intersex individual that is suffering internally, but is lashing out on the world with this persona of hers.
