"she does not lie."

She's a pathological liar. Here are two examples from her book Slander:

“New York Times columnist Frank Rich demanded that [Attorney General] Ashcroft stop monkeying around with Muslim terrorists and concentrate on anti-abortion extremists.”

Reality: In the column Coulter cited, there is absolutely no evidence that Rich even remotely suggested that Ashcroft curtail efforts against Islamic terrorists. There exists not one post-9/11 Times column by Rich in which Rich made any such demands of Ashcroft.

“Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman recommended dropping the war against global terrorism (‘declare war at the first at the first decent opportunity’!) and instead concentrate on ‘home-grown extremists.’”

Reality: In the column Coulter cited, Ackerman does not advocate concentrating on domestic terrorists (as opposed to foreign-born terrorists, who are the focus of the column). In fact, Ackerman only mentions “home-grown extremists” in passing (“And I do not deny that other attacks may well occur — perhaps committed by home-grown extremists.”)

But I don't mind her being a liar. The information she talks about or writes about can be checked out and the truth or falsity of what she says verified. It's her cursory talk about death and treason and rape and people enjoying death that I find objectionable. They're remarkably similar in tone and emphasis to those of the leader of Iran, their virtual mirror image. Here are a few Coulter statements:

"Tthe Democratic Party, as an entity, has become functionally treasonable."

"Bill Clinton was a very good rapist."

"I'm getting a little fed up with hearing about, oh, civilian casualties. I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning."

On Iran: "I just think it would be fun to nuke them and have it be a warning to the rest of the world."

"Liberals hate America, . . . they hate all religions except Islam (post 9/11). Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do.”
