Progressive Democrat Issue 120: VIRGINIA FOCUS: Fighting Ann Coulter in Virginia

As I highlighted above, Ann Coulter hate speech continues, and so she is once again the target of a progressive boycott. Above I discuss contacting advertisers on her website. Here I want to urge you to contact newspapers that carry her column wherein she advocates terrorism against Americans. Interestingly, one of the first newspapers to drop her column due to her disgusting rhetoric was, long ago, the conservative National Review. They dropped her column after she responded to the 9/11 attacks by stating that America should "invade their [terrorists'] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." Since then her hate speech has only gotten worse. She has compared Islam with the KKK and routinely advocates violence against liberals and insults homosexuals. She has the right to say what she wants. And newspapers have the right to carry it. But, we have the right to fight back as well.

Here is the one Virginia paper that still carries her column, with contact info. If we can reach them and convince them that Coulter's hate speech is contrary to what is acceptable in Virginia, we could get Coulter out of all Virginia newspapers. PLEASE write them and urge them to follow the example of the National Review and drop Ann Coulter's column.
