The Voice of Freedom denounces remarks made by the so-called political pundit Anne Coulter on a recent edition of CNBC’s The Big Idea, hosted by Donny Deutsch.
“Ann Coulter’s remarks that Jews needed to be perfected and America would be better off if everyone was Christian is deeply offensive and has been the language of bigots, hateful people and elitist throughout the ages.”
Ann Coulter should apologize. Further the media should stop promoting hate filled speech over and over again without confronting it. She has over the years amused herself, on major media outlets, with other anti-Jewish comments, name calling and even openly spoken of her hopes for political assassinations for “named individuals”.
It is amazing — in this day and age, in a country founded by immigrants, — that there are people like Ms. Coulter who hold to these repugnant views.
While we respect the fact that, like all Americans, she is free to have her views and far be it for us, a champion of the First Amendment, to deny her the right to say what she believes, we are shocked that she would be given “air time” to spew her bigotry on national television over and over again.
The positions she argues and the hate she spews on national television should be condemned on same.

VoF: Here is my take, for what it is worth. The networks are in the business of selling airtime to advertisers. The more controversial the interviews, the higher ratings they get and the more they can charge per minute. People love to be titillated, horrified and outraged, so interviews with Ann Coulter spewing her hate are the perfect venue for attracting viewers. Interviews, barely passing as intellectual conversation, guarantee raised eyebrows—at the very least. Comments over Ms. Coulters latest interview are repeated at the water cooler or over coffee cups; people shake their heads in distaste, but, nevertheless, are drawn to the next interview. They can’t help it, like rubbernecking at a grisly accident.
