No sooner did your blogstress's Huffington Post piece about Ann Coulter's encouragement of violence against doctors who perform abortions then some wag who refused to even name your ecrivaine , called yours truly both dishonest and not reasonable for charging la Coulter with incitement.

cross-posted from The Huffington Post The killing of George Tiller , a doctor who performed late-term abortions, will likely be attributed to some lone and deranged individual, acting on his or her own. (As I write, the suspect remains at large.) Indeed, Operation Rescue, the hold-no-prisoners anti-abortion group, issued an immediate statement from Operation Rescue President Troy Newman , decrying Tiller's shooting as "a cowardly act." In fact, the hands are many in the death of George Tiller, some more directly than others. Take Ann Coulter , for example. I watched her describe , to a church full of right-wing activists, abortion-clinic doctors and health care personnel who were murdered as either having been shot, "...or, depending on your point of view, had a procedure performed on them with a rifle." And she's still out there today, spewing the same bile with violent force. Several weeks ago, President Barack Obama 's commencement address at ...

Your blogstress, mes amis , is all a-gush to find that James Wolcott -- yes, he of the pointed pen so deftly deployed in the service of Vanity Fair , has written of your écrivaine 's adventure in Florida, when she dwelt amidst the holy revivalists in Florida who wish to "reclaim America for Christ." Your blogstress urges to you take moment to leave a comment on Mr. Wolcott's blog .

Your cyberscribe's story of threats and soul-searching in sunny South Florida now appears on the Web site of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the venerable organization that sent your écrivaine into the lion's den. With regard to the all-round Christian love and acceptance claimed by propagators of this particular brand of faith were the misrepresentations of Islam by Ann Coulter and Tony Perkins , lo, of the Family Research Council . Herewith, a taste: Both stirred the pot against Muslims, as well, with Coulter repeating her post-9/11 remark that the leaders of Muslim countries should be forcibly converted to Christianity, and Perkins complaining that the Muslim call to prayer is "now broadcast over American cities." (The use of the word "broadcast...

Your blogstress finds it rather disheartening to see her fellow liberals, in a rather mean-spirited manner, questioning the gender identification of Ann Coulter , a self-described straight, Christian woman. Just today, your cybertrix read a comment on a liberal site from a reader who said that he had always "read" Coulter as a "trannie." Tsk, tsk, says your Webwench, who has several trangendered friends, all of them kind, funny and smart people. (After all, there's a reason why they're your net-tête 's friends.) To borrow a construction from Mlle. Coulter, why would you want to insult the transgendered by counting Ann Coulter among them?

At The Politico , Anne Schroeder offers up some juicy dish on right-wingers apparently appalled by Ann Coulter 's gay-bashing: At a conference in Ft. Lauderdale over the weekend at the Center for Reclaiming America, which is connected to TV preacher James Kennedy ’s Coral Ridge Ministries, Coulter reiterated her John Edwards description... [...] A birdie on the scene told us that after the f-word remark about Johnny Boy, the hundreds of conservatives who filled the church to the brim, gasped in shock. Moments later, she bid her adieu.
