Ann Coulter "Jokes" About Killing Sen. McCain's Daughter

From The New Civil Rights Movement: 

Ann Coulter, in her latest column, which focuses on gun violence and gun control, “jokes” about killing Meghan McCain, daughter of famous Republican Senator john McCain. Writing, “Obama has been draping himself in families of the children murdered in Newtown,” Coulter offers this remedy: 

MSNBC’s Martin Bashir suggested that Republican senators need to have a member of their families killed for them to support the Democrats’ gun proposals. (Let’s start with Meghan McCain!)

Needless to say, Meghan McCain didn’t find it amusing...

Shit Homophobic People Say

GOProud: Breaking the Camel's Back

I have long defended the principle of having gay conservative groups. I believe that one of the best ways to change the Republican party from being the homophobic party that it currently is and has been is from the inside. However, I have my limits when it comes to being understanding. GOProud, one of these gay/conservative groups has taken itself beyond those limits. This group actually has Ann Coulter as a board member. This woman is no friend to gay people at all. Quite the opposite, when she was against the repeal of DADT, she is against marriage equality, and the list goes on and on and on. She calls liberals in general a "Godless" lot ("Godless: The Church of Liberalism" was the title of a book she wrote). This is akin to having a KKK member on the board of the NAACP. When it comes to gay rights (or anything that resembles human decency), this woman has zero redeeming qualities. It's as if this organization is actually working against the rights for which the rest of us, including other gay/conservative groups like the Log Cabin Republicans, are fighting so hard. Even though I still feel that gay/conservative groups are still worth having, GOProud is no longer a group that I can defend.
