An Open Letter to Ann Coulter

Special Olympian John Franklin Stephens is far nicer than I am. In An Open Letter to Ann Coulter I think he gives her far more credit than she deserves.

Unfortunately Coulter has made a living from being crass and sensational, you need look no further than the titles of her books to see that. I don't know if she believes the bile she spews but I don't care. I don't need to read or watch it.

I'm always very sorry when she appears on shows that I otherwise watch. Now in the twitter era, I tweet to the shows saying explicitly I won't be watching because they have Coulter on. It at least feels like I'm doing something to prevent her from having a broader audience.
