Right, that’s my problem with all the conservatives who were “outraged” by Coulter’s remarks about Jews. She’s been saying offensive shit about other groups for years and they had no problem with her then.

Here’s one case where I was a long way ahead of the curve. Here’s what I had to say in comparing Ann Coulter with Sarah Palin almost three years ago:

No she’s worse. Sarah Palin just plain can’t explain complicated concepts, or string together a complex sentence, so she DERPs. Ann Coutler can do both such things and in her books she does at times. But at other times she presents matters simply which she has explained as complex in other contexts, which can only be ascribed to either deliberate dishonesty or a reckless indifference to the truth. So while she might discuss Richard Nixon’s motives for a questionable action (Coulter goes easier on Nixon than some other right-wing writers as she thinks Nixon performed a critical national service in keeping the House UnAmerican Activities Committee focused on Alger Hiss), the same sort of action by Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton will be automatically ascribed by Coulter to some variation of “liberal soft-headedness”. Her lack of charity towards those who disagree with her is of the same extreme level reached by Ayn Rand.
