Coulter's headline hat trick: desperate, false, and divisive

The noteworthy thing about this Ann Coulter headline is not that she's referencing one of the most noxious political ads of all time in order to stroke resentment of African Americans during a political campaign featuring the first African American major-party presidential nominee. That kind of behavior is pretty much par for the course from Coulter.

The noteworthy thing about the headline is that Ann Coulter is so eager - desperate, even - to do so that she makes the false and nonsensical suggestion that banks have spent the past several years handing out too few mortgages. That the problem is that qualified borrowers were not able to obtain a mortgage.
