John Kerry: “Make the Republicans Who Think Coulter’s So Witty Own Her Repellant Words&#

Brian Zick

Coulter is the face of the Republican Party. Kerry responds to Annie's venom schtick and endorses Peter Daou's suggestion to "challenge establishment journalists to stand up to the rightwing smear machine and condemn the maligning of their patriotism and of their values." Kerry encourages people to "Get on the phone to any television program that has Ann Coulter on, and demand they press her not on her callous attacks, but on which recommendations of the 9/11 Commission she thinks should be forgotten. Which ports does she think should be left unsecured. Make the 9/11 widows' issues follow this fool everywhere she goes." -- YES!!! And Republican faces morphing into Coulter's on campaign TV commercials! update: Rahm Emmanuel goes to the floor of the House and asks Republicans, "Does Ann Coulter speak for you?" Crooks and Liars has the video.
