Ann Coulter has a new book — same old hate speech
NBC’s Today has recently hosted a number of far-right ideologues. Just this morning, Ann Coulter was on and talked about her new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, which is rife with hate speech, including a section about the 9-11 widows in which she wrote: “These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles, reveling in their status as celebrities, and talked about by grief-arazzis. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s deaths so much.”
Coulter has a long history of engaging in hateful rhetoric and misinformation, and yet Today still hosted her, giving her book free publicity and a degree of credibility it doesn’t deserve. Indeed, this was the third time in eight months that Coulter has appeared on Today. Why?
—————
I really do not understand trashing 9/11 victims. I do not understand trashing a group of people who, in my opinion, are trying to secure the country. They are trying to understand the events of the 9/11 tragedy and they seem to be trying to prevent the next Al Qaeda attack.
I have read the last two of Ann Coulter’s books. She has a particular kind of venom which is different than any of the others on the very far right. It is more hateful… more indiscriminate… and more obscene.
