Ann Coulter's invective has boomeranged and resulted in threats at her Palm Beach home
Conservative columnist Ann Coulter is nationally notorious for vitriolic broadsides, but she has been unnerved by invective she received at her Palm Beach home. So much so that she got the county property appraiser to remove her name from public records identifying where she lives.

In doing so, she won an exemption from public disclosure of her address, allowed by law for victims of stalkers or harassment.

Coulter, 45, has called Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards a ''faggot'' and said she wished he would be killed by terrorists. She once said President Clinton ''could be a lunatic'' and wrote of a group of widows of men killed in the World Trade Center that she had 'never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much.''

So maybe it came as no surprise when somebody delivered a greeting card to her home in March with this salutation: ``You self-aggrandizing -- sociopath!! The only thing left after a nuclear war are you and cockroaches.''

Her house is one of 2,674 properties in Palm Beach County whose owners are confidential in property appraiser records. Homeowners must complete an affidavit stating why they should be exempt from the state's public records law.

Florida law allows people in occupations where harm could come to them -- judges, prosecutors, police officers, firefighters and child abuse investigators, for example -- to remain anonymous in those records.

3. more:
ANONYMOUS MESSAGES

In June 2006, Coulter received several nonthreatening but antagonistic phone messages from an Alameda, Calif., man whom she did not know.

''Hey, Ann, now that you've moved to Florida and you're in your 40s, did you know that you can join the Florida National Guard?'' the man, later identified as Brian Hatoff, 58, said in one message.

``Oh, I forgot, you and your rotund buddy down the street and the vice president, you're all registered chicken hawks. You love war until you have to put your own ass on the line. I don't call that patriotism. I call it cowardice.''

Coulter told police the calls were made to an unpublished phone number that only a few people knew.

After subpoenaing phone records, Palm Beach police traced the calls to Hatoff.

''He admitted to making the calls and was adamant they were not threatening in nature,'' Detective Allen Dicks wrote in his report.

Dicks said Hatoff found Coulter's unlisted phone number on the Internet. He promised not to call again. Apparently he didn't.

But other problems ensued. Somebody called 911 from Coulter's home on July 2, 2006, but hung up. A neighbor called in December to report a man sleeping in his car in front of Coulter's house. It turned out he was working on a job site.

Police driving by in January said Coulter was in violation of a town ordinance requiring her house number to be visible from the street. In another drive-by in June, they found her in violation of water restrictions.

The month of March, however, was the most vexing for Coulter, who did not return a phone message asking for comment.

The evening of March 25 she heard somebody screaming from a vacant lot next door: ``Ann Coulter is a big .''

Coulter called police, then went downstairs and locked a door. When police arrived, the person was gone. Coulter opted not to file a report. But police placed a ''special watch'' on her home.

NASTY CARD

Coulter called again a few days later. She had checked her mailbox and found an apparently hand-delivered pink and white envelope inside. It read, ''Ann Coulter!!'' Below her name was a cupid heart with an arrow drawn through it.

On the greeting card inside was written: ``Go yourself.''

:rofl:

4. Paranoid Ann, poor dear. I hope she never sleeps again.
I hear that when vampires go without sleep, they lose the ability to keep human form.

10. I don't condone this nonsense but she richly deserves it
If she's looking for sympathy I'm sure her drooling, knuckle-dragging followers will be happy to oblige. All two of them.
