Kaus-approved Ann Coulter says:


My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

Slate/Mickey Kaus-Recommended Ann Coulter Expresses Regret That NYT Journalists Have Not Been Murdered By Terrorists

In an interview with the New York Observer's George Gurley, Ann Coulter says she regrets that a terrorist did not attack the New York Times building.

Was it an offhanded, off-the-record remark? No, Coulter encourages Gurley to turn on his tape recorder so that he can be sure to record (and presumably report) her regret that New York Times journalists have not been killed.

We wonder again why Slate.com's Mickey Kaus would concern himself with MWO's rhetoric, when someone he has recommended, and whose site he has permanently linked on his weblog at Slate.com, has expressed disappointment that his fellow journalists working for the New York Times have not been murdered in a terrorist attack.

Coulter's comments should sicken anyone, and we hope Slate.com and Mickey Kaus will reconsider their promotion of those who advocate such violence
