I am not defending what Coulter said.
It was childish, stupid and insulting..... Something I would expect to see on SNL.
What Maher said is so much worse..... So much more outrageous......
you're comparing a teeny weeny apple that made a hypothetical comment with a mile-wide orange that has smilingly wished death on nearly everyone she has ever disagreed with.
there's a big, big difference between "if he had died" and "we should kill them."
why not compare Maher's comments with the time that Coulter said that she would've preferred it if McVeigh had gone after New York Times employees?
... or the time that Coulter said that the US ought to destroy Canada?
... or the time she said that "we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning."
... or the time that she said the US ought "to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too."
... or when she said somone ought to kill Justice Stevens by putting rat poison in his food?
... or when she said that no one would have cared if Chicago had been the target of a terrorist attack?
... or when she said that Lincoln Chafee should be shot?
... or when she said that the NY Times staff should be executed?
... or when she said that the executive editor (Bill Keller) of the NY Times should be killed?
... or when she said that if Murtha were fragged, he'd finally deserve a purple heart?
... or when Coulter said the debate over Clinton should have been "whether to impeach or assassinate"?
... or when she said she wished the US Millitary would target journalists?
