What would Coulter have to say for the networks to stop promoting her?
Republican hatemonger Ann Coulter has continued her attack on the media, including making a recent statement where she reaffirmed her wish that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh had bombed The New York Times' building.
There seems to be no low to which Coulter won't sink in her pursuit of airtime. She recently apparently endorsed the murder of Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) and suggested that Democratic support of a recent Supreme Court decision is "siding with Al Qaeda." Coulter's musings about violence against her perceived enemies are nothing new; she once suggested that former President Clinton be assassinated.
You might think that the media would distance themselves from such advocacy of political murder. But you'd be wrong: Coulter continues to be invited on a wide range of television programs, including on MSNBC and NBC.
Is there nothing she could say they would find inappropriate? Please contact MSNBC TV and NBC News and ask them what she would have to say for them to refuse her future airtime. Are they willing to commit to not hosting her again?
Coulter isn't the only conservative whose hate speech the have networks repeatedly given airtime. Melanie Morgan, a frequent MSNBC guest, has accused The New York Times of "treason" for recent reporting and suggested that its executive editor deserved "the gas chamber."
What would it take for MSNBC TV and NBC News to say, "No more"?

I think the more people complain about Ann Coulter, the more people will wonder what's going on. All that free publicity is what made her book number one in the first place.
It seems to me that if you want to have Ann Coulter lose her attractiveness as a guest pundit and columnist we must create a anti-Coulter campaign directed at those that pay the bills. Threaten the networks' and cable outlets' major corporate advertisers witha boycot of their products. I'm not sure how you do this sort of thing on a national level but it would be more effective than what we've been doing.
