Working on an article about an upcoming debate between Bill Maher and Ann Coulter, New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff “attempted to interview” Coulter, e-mailing her a list of questions. In her response, which was written in all capital letters, Coulter called the paper the “Treason Times” and said that the Times’ editors should have been “executed for treason” for revealing the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program:

Do you consider yourself as speaking for the conservative movement, or just someone who has attracted many conservative fans? Something else?

I THINK I SPEAK FOR ALL AMERICANS WHO THINK NEWSPAPER EDITORS WHO PRINT THE DETAILS OF TOP-SECRET ANTI-TERRORIST INTELLIGENCE GATHERING PROGRAMS ON PAGE ONE IN WARTIME SHOULD BE EXECUTED FOR TREASON.

Keep talking, rethugs. Keep talking.

1. So, Rove & Cheney should have been executed too.

For exposing the top-secret identity of an intelligence operative in wartime.

5. I don't believe in capital punishment, but if Ann Coulter believes

they deserve to be executed... I'm tempted to say who am I to argue, but in fact I still believe they should only get life in prison.

4. "It's a Man Baby" needs attention again ?

Rush getting all the "Propaganda Props"

Just goes to show what a "Casting Couch and a little Suction can do"

7. Take a long walk off the short pier, Mann.

And use heavy belt equipment.

[waiting for hope]

8. Just goes to show how unintelligent

she is - resorting to crash, crude name calling and using the words "I think" ... the more people that ignore her, the less she will be heard.

9. You first, Ann.

10. "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the NYT Building"

In an interview with George Gurley of the New York Observer shortly after the publication of Slander, it was mentioned that Coulter actually had friends and acquaintances who worked for the Times, namely restaurant critic Frank Bruni and correspondent David E. Sanger. Later in the interview, she expressed amusement at her recollections of the Times' gratuitousness in publishing two photos of George H. W. Bush throwing up at a diplomatic meeting in Japan, then said: "Is your tape recorder running? Turn it on! I got something to say... My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." Gurley told her to be careful, to which she responded "You’re right, after 9/11 I shouldn’t say that".<13>

14. Incitement to murder...

Demagoguery has become the order of the day.

11. When you learn to vote legally Ann...

We still won't take you seriously.

12. Wow, I'm torn. The NYT were among those who facilitated the occupation of Iraq -

with their fallacious, fear mongering before the "war," which is unforgivable to me, and considering the amount of causalities resulting from their propagandist reportage, I don't know. Do they bear any guilt? We don't have the same reasons, and I don't believe in CP, but the visceral sentiment is there.

13. I think Anne Coulter should be tried for treason

and then exiled to her home planet.

:D

15. Judith Miller should be jailed.

looks like Anne's book sales must be down, someone needs a little attention.
