Coulter's anti-Semitic comment too dangerous to ignore By Tim Rutten
Ann Coulter is buzzing from one talk show to another these days, peddling her new book. Our era values mindless contention as a kind of entertainment, and we don't just reward relentless self-promotion -- we admire it. Thus, Coulter's phenomenal success at marketing distasteful, mean-spirited books -- poorly written and spottily researched -- that otherwise would go all but unremarked upon by everyone except the rhetorical ghouls who haunt the political fringes.
What I find most disturbing is the fact that the news media gives her a platform. Why isn’t she being ignored? The danger would go away with her.
Good question; why am I mentioning her?
