Anne Coulter Needs a Cockpunch #5

Today's lovely little nugget of strawman abuse from the right's most embarrasing bitch goes like this:

"When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."

She's referring of course to John Walker Lindh, also known as the "American Taliban", arrested by US forces in Afghanistan in January 2002. He's been charged with conspiracy to commit terrorist acts and has been tried, convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison by a federal court.

But of course, since he comes from a liberal Californian family, clearly all liberals are terrorists. That's like saying all right-wing pundits are shrill, haggy, skinny skanks with a persecution complex and a far-too-specific hate of liberals. And clearly not all of them are; some of them actually have constructive ideas on how to solve society's ills. Oh, and by the way: advocating the murder of someone for what they think isn't exactly a conservative viewpoint. "Psychopathic" might be a better fit.

Not Anne, though. For someone who rants so much about how much liberals complain, she sure complains a lot herself.
