I thought you might be interested in the article from the FAIR web site. The following article will be appended to your message: Ann Slanders By Steve Rendall On the first page of her best-selling book about "the left's hegemonic control of the news media," pundit Ann Coulter declares that there's too much nastiness in American politics, and "it's all liberals' fault." Then, throughout the aptly named Slander, Coulter spits out one personal attack after another, calling her political foes "half-wits," "bird brains," "termagants" and so on; she compares NBC anchor Katie Couric to Hitler's wife, calling the Today show host "the affable Eva Braun of morning television." Elsewhere Coulter has called Tipper Gore "gaudy white trash" (Washington Times, 8/7/00), and in an earlier book (High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton) she suggested that discussion of Clinton's scandals be limited to "whether to impeach or assassinate." Leaving questions of psychological projection to the psychologists, it's still worth asking whether the hypocrisy of Coulter's fervent denunciation of the exact kind of name-calling that is her specialty applies to other charges she makes as well. Could Coulter's charge that liberals lie remorselessly about conservatives--the full title of her book is Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right--be a sort of furtive red flag, sending a message about her own dishonesty?
