One of the drawbacks of Mondays in St. Augustine, Florida is reading Ann Coulter's column in the St. Augustine Record. FIred for hatemongering by William F. Buckley, Jr. and his National Review after 9/11, Ann Coulter continues her hatemongering career, laughing all the way to the bank.
Today's St. Augustine Record does not carry an Ann Coulter column. Wondering why, I viewed her website for nferential evidence as to why -- her unprinted column is as creepily homophobic a rant as ever appeared from the Anonymice on the St. Augustine Record's "Talk of the Town" website 2005-2006 in connection with the Rainbow Flags on the Bridge of Lions (some 32 loooing pages of loony diatribes, fatwahs and death threats, some written by local elected and appointed public officials under NICS, with the offenders sub silentio removing three pages of them after I called their hand).
Nazi Germany, the Nuremberg Laws, South African Apartheid and Jim Crow segregation taught the world not to practice group hatred.
Thanks to the St. Augustine Record for not printing Ann Coulter today.
We're on the world stage now and don't need to insult GLBT people, African-Americans, Hispanics and youth -- they are our customers -- tourists to be welcomed and not insulted -- our City's expected tourism growth demcgraphics.
Bigotry is bad for business.
Update: In an E-mail, St. Augustine Record Managing Editor Jim Sutton has confirmed that Ann Coulter was not printed today because her anti-Gay column was "too nasty."
Thank you!
Happy New Year!
