Coulter finds wit in abortion provider assassinations

Like that crazy uncle who won't stop telling corny limericks involving buckets, controversial pundit Ann Coulter apparently doesn't seem to care if she's the only one laughing at her jokes.

Journalist Frederick Clarkson, at his Talk to Action website, takes a hard look at Coulter's "record of publicly justifying the assassination of abortion providers."

Clarkson notes the following four occasions:

From the 2008 Reclaiming America for Christ conference: "Those few abortionists were shot, or, depending on your point of view, had a procedure with a rifle performed on them. I'm not justifying it, but I do understand how it happened...."

From the 2008 Values Voters Summit: "For two decades after Roe, no abortion clinic doctors were killed. But immediately after Planned Parenthood v. Casey, after working within the system did not work, produced no results... for the first time an abortion doctor was killed. A few more abortion clinic workers were killed in the next few years. I'm not justifying it, but I understand when you take democracy away from people, some of them will react violently. The total number of deaths attributable to Roe were seven abortion clinic workers and 40 million unborn babies"

From her June 3rd syndicated column: " I wouldn't kill an abortionist myself, but I wouldn't want to impose my moral values on others. No one is for shooting abortionists. But how will criminalizing men making difficult, often tragic, decisions be an effective means of achieving the goal of reducing the shootings of abortionists? Following the moral precepts of liberals, I believe the correct position is: If you don't believe in shooting abortionists, then don't shoot one."

Earlier this week on The O'Reilly Factor: "I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester"

Clarkson notes "that's four times in the past year and a half that she has coyly or not so coyly justified political assassination."

But there aren't any Alaskan vice presidents demanding Coulter apologize for her assassination jokes, so I guess no one really cares, and she's free to resume her future NBC and Fox News Channel closeups.

She has some serious mental health issues and I can't fathom why this is considered journalism.

make her feel that her fracked up mental condition is in good company.
