Townhall: Home of the Cyber-McVeighs

At Townhall.com, "Peppermint" writes about assassinating US Attorney Johnnie Sutton in a bit of "fiction."

The rest of "Juliet's Diary" is equally perverse; it presents civil war and murdering one's political opponents as good old harmless fun.

This is why I'm not active at Townhall: I don't want to be on a Department of Homeland Security watch list.

Apparently, nobody at Townhall has flagged the post as offensive--and even if they did, Townhall doesn't seem to disapprove. I notified Townhall of this three days ago. It's still up there. I guess they're OK with it. And why shouldn't they be? Ann Coulter wrote "They Shot the Wrong Lincoln." My, my, that's not anything resembling incitement, is it, Annie, dear? I sent a couple of my Marines to the brig back in the day for much milder statements than that . . .

If Townhall wants to be the Official Website of Timothy McVeigh Wannabes, that's one thing. But it cannot simultaneously fill that role and be a serious participant in political debate. Unfortunately, they are joined at the hip with the Salem Radio Network, which hosts one of my ex-favorites, Hugh Hewitt. Looks like KCBQ (1170 AM) comes off my car radio's presets.

Memo for the management at Townhall: SET THY HOUSE IN ORDER. Assassination fantasies are off-limits, bigtime. Even if they're from your top-rated columnists.

Will no one rid conservatism of this meddlesome pundit?

Ann Coulter, the gift that keeps on giving. Bryan over at Hot Air sums it up as follows:

Last year it was “raghead.” This year it’s calling John Edwards a “faggot.” Two years in a row, Coulter has finished up an otherwise sharp CPAC routine with an obnoxious slur that liberals will fling at conservatives for years to come.

Thanks, Ann.

For some reason, Ann Coulter cannot exercise a minimal amount of civility. She jokes about assassinating Senators. She thinks that throwing grenades at Congressmen is funny. She thinks that the "Jersey Girls" are enjoying (her word) the deaths of their husbands. She has "joked" about assassinating a Supreme Court Justice. When asked whether she regretted a "joke" about how Timothy McVeigh should've bombed the New York Times building, she said:

Of course I regret it. I should have added, "after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters."

Ann, you want more attention, eat a couple of cheeseburgers, get yourself some bigger boobs, and go pose for Playboy. You'll up your perceived intelligence. The late Anna Nicole Smith looked like a freakin' GENIUS next to you.

But at least this time, we don't need to go to THREATCON Ernie or Elmo:
