    her column, defending Jeff Gannon, ran on Universal Press Syndicate last week, a racial identifier got dropped from this sentence:

    "Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the president."
    http://www.wonkette.com/politics/personalities/ann-coulter-not-really-an-arab-fan-either-034309.php

    I guess for some folks it is ok to make discriminatory remarks about Arabs.

    Somebody edited the piece, and it is changed now, but it did appear on her website with the offending qote originally.

    One case is that of a person with at most misguided fear, but not necessarily even that.

    The other is the case of a woman who is a frequent guest on FOX news shows using blatantly discriminatory words. She is a supposed news commentator while Chris Rock is a comedian. I don't see how you can make a comparison.

    How can FOX or anyone else continue to give Ann Coulter the time of day? The woman has exposed herself as biggoted and ignorant, yet because she is a propagandist for one particular side she continues to get invited on certain shows, and treated as if she has something serious to add to a conversation about the news.

    I also don't find her attractive at all. Her movement is quirky, jerky and without any form of grace. She's too thin, with horribly stringy hair.

    controversy, attention, hype, ratings etc. why else?

    the stuff that comes out of his mouth is total crap and they continue to do it because of all the attention it brings

    I find it hard to believe that he believes all the crap he says

    Compared to Molly Ivins, Ann Coulter is a GODDESS.

    And we all know the desires you have for Molly.

    perhaps you are right, but then I guess the follow up question would be why do so many people take FOX News seriously?

    I had a lovely crush on Barbara Olson who was a conservative talking head before she died on one of those planes on 9/11.

    But I was madly in love with Cynthia Alksne who seems to have dropped out of the circuit post 9/11 to spend more time raising her four daughters.

    Re: Ann Coulter... it's okay to be a witty commentator isn't it? She can be provocative and does go over the top from time to time, but we all do. So what?

    We don't all make comments akin to racism. If someone said
    'how can they let that old jew near the president if they are worried about security?"

    You better believe that person would be out of work in the commentating field. Yet she called Helen Thomas an old Arab, and mentioned that they let her with in yards of the president.

    That is going beyond 'over the top'. But like I said I guess these days it is ok to discriminate against Arabs.

    This doesn't bother me because it is coming out of the mouth of Ann Coulter. I have no respect whatsoever for her comments because they are entirely based on criticism and never on substance.

    Quite frankly, considering that this is Ann Coulter, these type of comments are expected. I expect Mike TYson to make a fool of himself every time he opens his mouth and I expect the same of Coulter.
