I guess as a Huckabee supporter all I can say to you is, bye bye. It's no surprise the club for greed is out for blood on Governor Huckabee, this ad will backfire because everybody knows these fools are just out there to make themselves richer and richer. That's why I like Governor Huckabee he does just want to help one segment of our population, but help all Americans. The club for greed should be ashamed of themselves. Go Huckabee

ANN COULTER: CONSERVATIVE LOUT
“The answer is, yes I could request that the ad [for Coulter’s book] be taken off this site. But since I don’t believe in stifling debate (witness the insulting, degrading, comments from most of you directed towards me below), I will not make that request. Such freedom of speech (and the freedom to abuse that right) used to be self evident in America. Nowadays, if you disagree with something written, many feel no compunction whatsoever about agitating for the offending literature to be banned.â€
Did he actually say that? How does not agreeing to run HUGE GIGANTIC banner advertisements for a person you've JUST stated doesn't deserve a platform constitute censorship? It's your site, you get to choose who you endorse and who you don't. You're telling me if NAMBLA wanted to advertise at your site you would be forced to run banners for them because to refuse would be to stifle the debate?
When "crazy lefties" accuse the right-wing of not distancing themselves from Coulter, this is precisely what they're talking about. She lobbies for conservatives and caters to a conservative constituency. Conservative radio and TV stations book her over and over again and treat her as an ally. Right wing blogs from time to time disagree with the most repulsive of her comments, but link to her syndicated articles and promote her books, including this site.
Admit it. The right-wing is associated with Coulter, and more than willing to overlook her insanity for the simple reason that she's useful to you and your cause sometimes. And when she's not, when her rhetoric gets so hot, or racist, or inflamatory, or hateful that it ceases to become useful to you, you write a few paragraphs about how she doesn't represent conservatives and then run banner advertisements for her book right next to that same post.

This Blog: "Ann Coulter is an outrageous fringe extremist who doesn't speak for the right and shouldn't be given a platform to spew her hateful rhetoric.

This Blog: Some idiotic liberals also think we're only now distancing ourselves from Coulter. Ho ho ho! We've been distancing ourselves from her for a long time, I don't know what those crazy lefties are talking about when they say we haven't properly distanced ourselves from her.
Irony: I think you should look three inches to the right of your screen.
