American Traitor

Hunter on Daily Kos sets us straight on Ann Coulter. As Ed Fitzgerald, who pointed me to this post, observes, everyone should take any opportunity to ream Coulter out in public.

“Make no mistake about it; Ann is, in word and deed, anti-American. She is one of the few voices in America that can be compared directly to the voices of prewar Nazi Germany without fear of running afoul of Godwin’s Law, simply because the combination of disinformation, rabid nationalism, more disinformation, depersonalization of political opponents, even more disinformation, and nothing-resembling-subtle calls for violence is torn right from the playbooks of earlier propagandists.

An abject coward, that endorses violence by others. A voice straining to resurrect McCarthy, he of the politically motivated faux hunt for witches and demons, the closest thing this country has to a He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named outside of the Harry Potter universe. A face twisted into unimaginable hate, with talk of the traitorousness of her perceived enemies, all of them better Americans than she can even momentarily pretend to be.

That such transparent propaganda, wrapped with such venom for her fellow Americans, could exist is hardly surprising. But those that publish her words should be branded with them. Those that give her a voice should be remembered for what they are, as surely as she herself.”
