St. Augustine WRecKord, Supposed Family Newspaper, Runs Obscene Ann Coulter Columns

Click the green link above, where Ann Coulter makes sexually explicit references to the putative comparative size of Rep. Weiner’s male organ. Apparently, Ann Coulter reckons herself an expert on male genitalia, to where she regales her readers about it at the breakfast table.
How gauche.
How crude.
How rude.
What a low blow.
How typically Ann Coulter.
Her columns are often vulgar, sex-obsessed, and accusing Democrats (e.g., of being sex fiends or treating all women like hotel maids).
Her columns are trashy.
Rather than running columns by local talent – like Peter Guinta – the WRecKord wastes space (and money) paying the likes of Ann Coulter.
The Record will soon collect an extra 99 cents per week, to pay for such trite tropes as are emitted by Ann Coulter, whose right wing nutter is on the ropes.
Coulter’s no William F. Buckley, Jr.
Coulter calls “liberals” names.
She’s not creative.
She’s disdainful.
She uses shame and ridicule to attack political opponents.
She cares not about equality and justice – she’s an unvarnished hater.
She’s smug.
She’s mean.
She’s Joe McCarthy in drag – an overeducated, overprivileged hater, who brags about her dad (a union busting attorney) and engages in sensationalism.
Coulter’s slutty and a little bit nutty (in the words of David Brock, a now-repentant, reformed right-winger once used to refer to Anita Hill).
As political columnist for “Out in the City,” I once challenged Ann Coulter to a public debate after she called Senator John Edwards a “F----t” in 2007. Never heard back from her.
Her homophobia, racism and inane rantings remind me of some of our local hate websites here in St. Augustine. I reckon they suffer from the same psychopathy.
I hereby challenge Morris Publishing’s owners to a public debate on journalistic standards.
Ed’s note: That’s not a “pubic debate.” In 1995, on the WRecKord’s 100th anniversary, it carried a stunning page-one headline “100 years of pubic service.” Jay Leno had fun with that one!
