Shreveport Paper Becomes 4th This Week to Drop Ann Coulter
By Dave Astor
NEW YORK
The Times of Shreveport, La., today became at least the fourth
newspaper this week to drop columnist Ann Coulter.
In a note just posted on the newspaper's site, Times Executive Editor
Alan English wrote:
"Today we move past the rhetoric and unproductive dialogue offered by
Ann Coulter. The Times is dropping her column effective immediately.
"It is her recent 'joke' about John Edwards being considered a
'faggot' that is the back-breaking straw for a decision we've openly
discussed for some time."
The Times had previously considered dropping Coulter last year after
the author/Universal Press columnist made nasty remarks about 9/11
widows.
Also dropping Coulter this week were the Lancaster (Pa.) New Era, The
Oakland Press of Michigan, and The Mountain Press of Sevierville,
Tenn.
Kathie Kerr, a Universal spokeswoman, told the Associated Press today
the service has no plans to stop offering the columns.
"All of our clients and newspaper editors know better than we do what
they should and should not run," Kerr said.
"They know their communities better than we do."
Shreveport's English wrote today that Coulter's "repeated use of
hyperbole in the call for the death of some journalists and
politicians was beyond the pale. And while we all believe she was
'just kidding,' her 'shock-jock'' writing style is no different from
Howard Stern's practical jokes and bathroom humor that aims to draw a
school-yard snicker but falls well short of reasonable,
thought-provoking journalism.
Unlike the work of a Thomas Sowell or a Kathleen Parker, two
thoughtful conservatives, does a Coulter column raise the level of
discourse?
The answer: rarely.

I should like to endorse the "Ann The Man" moniker.
I shouldn't want to see Ann in birthday suit
any more than I should Rush. |

Excellent. Maybe the crazy fascist bitch will be forced to write
something that isn't just propaganda for the Republican Party. |
