CPAC: Bigotry, Assassination, and No Comment

From HuffPo: Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Ann Coulter had some delightful things to say about Muslims, Bill Clinton, and five of the nine Supreme Court justices. The most abhorrent part, perhaps, is the reference to Muslims as "ragheads." Tying for a close second are her (humorous?) references to assassinating Bill Clinton and letting the five liberal and moderate justices on the Supreme Court die in a terrorist attack.

Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN), who was in attendance, had no comment.

We may also want to seek the comment of the following CPAC speakers who shared a stage with Coulter:

  • Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO)

  • Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ)

  • Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX)

  • Hon. Bob Barr (R-GA)
