Time for an Ann Coulter Ban
Ethan Morris, Jun 28, 2007

Okay, enough is enough. Will someone please get Ann Coulter off my TV set?

Seriously. The FCC needs to implement an Ann Ban as soon as humanly possible.

Aside from the fact that many believe her to be a raving lunatic, now she's all but threatened the life of a presidential candidate.

In an interview on ABC's Good Morning America, Coulter said she wished Democratic candidate John Edwards "had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

The ultra-super-duper-uber-over-the-top conservative columnist and frequent talk show guest says she was merely making a point, after notoriously liberal talk show host Bill Maher made a similar comment about Vice President Dick Cheney.

In fact, what Maher said was that if Dick Cheney had been killed in a real (but failed) attempted assassination in Afghanistan, fewer people would be dying in Iraq right now. "If he did die," Maher said at the time, "other people, more people would live." But he didn't actually "wish" Cheney dead.

Technically, Coulter didn't either. Here's her exact quote: "If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot." By couching her words with conditionals like "if" and "I'll" and by using the past tense, Coulter will no doubt avoid any trouble from the law. (Presidential candidates get protection from the Secret Service and threatening their lives is a serious no no.)

2. Nah, let her go
Give her enough rope to hang herself with.

So far, she's doing a heckuva job.

6. An FCC ban?!?!
A government ban on a pundit? No thanks - that's scarier than anything Ann Coulter's ever said.

8. I agree completely.
If Ann Coulter is banned, you can bet that more pundits will soon follow.

7. I'm with ya
I think she is a despicable, mouth breathing, slack jawed, slopped forehead, knuckle dragging, black cocktail dress wearing, freak. Why isn't she in jail for voter fraud? So stupid even a caveman wouldn't do her.
