Columnist Ann Coulter Defends White Supremacist Group
Posted in Editor's Pick, Extremist Propaganda by Mark Potok on February

Rabid far-right commentator Ann Coulter is known across America for
sliming everyone and everything she disagrees with. Al Gore is a "total
fag" and another one-time presidential candidate, John Edwards, is the
same. Democrats are "gutless traitors" and their convention a "Spawn of
Satan" gathering. Muslims are "ragheads" and America should "kill their
leaders and convert them to Christianity." Jews are people who need to
be "perfected." The New York Times building and its editorial staff
should be bombed. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens should have
"rat poisoning" mixed into his food. Princess Diana "ostentatiously
[had] sex in front of [her] children." The Rev. Al Sharpton is "a fat,
race-baiting black man." President Bill Clinton was "a very good
rapist," and North Korea should be "nuked."

But despite denouncing school desegregation as a "spectacular" failure,
Coulter has generally avoided bolstering white supremacist hate groups.
Until now, that is.

In her latest foaming-mouth tome -- Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their
Assault on America, released on Jan. 6 -- Coulter spends the better part
of three pages defending a group called the Council of Conservative
Citizens (CCC), which The New York Times had described as a "thinly
veiled white supremacist organization." Coulter begs to differ. The CCC,
Coulter opines, is "a conservative group" that has unfairly been branded
as racist "because some of the directors of the CCC had, decades
earlier, been leaders of a segregationist group." "There is no evidence
on its Web page that the modern incarnation of the CCC supports
segregation," she says. "Apart from some aggressive reporting on black-
on-white crimes -- the very crimes that are aggressively hidden by the
establishment media -- there is little on the CCC website suggesting"
that the group is racist. Indeed, its main failing is "containing
members who had belonged to a segregationist group thirty years
earlier."

Coulter could hardly be more wrong. And even if she can't find time to
read beyond a page of the CCC's website, she really ought to know --
after all, the organization where she frequently speaks, the
Conservative Political Action Committee, has publicly banned the CCC
from its annual gathering because it is racist. Also in the late 1990s,
Jim Nicholson, then-chairman of the Republican National Committee, asked
GOP members to stay away from the CCC because of its "racist and
nationalist views."

How could conservative Republicans be inspired to say such ugly things?
Let us count the ways.

The CCC's columnists have written that black people are "a retrograde
species of humanity," and that non-white immigration is turning the U.S.
population into a "slimy brown mass of glop." Its website has run
photographic comparisons of pop singer Michael Jackson and a chimpanzee.
It opposes "forced integration" and decries racial intermarriage. It has
lambasted black people as "genetically inferior," complained about
"Jewish power brokers," called gay people "perverted sodomites," and
even named the late Lester Maddox, the baseball bat-wielding, arch-
segregationist former governor of Georgia, "Patriot of the Century."

One day, the CCC ran photos on its home page of accused Beltway snipers
John Muhammad and John Malvo, 9/11 conspirator Zacharias Moussaoui and
accused shoe-bomber Richard Reed. "Notice a Pattern Here?" asked a
caption underneath the four photos. "Is the face of death black after
all?" On another occasion, its website featured a photo of Daniel Pearl,
the "Jewish Wall Street Journal reporter" who had just been decapitated
by Islamic terrorists. In the photo, Pearl was shown with his "mixed-
race wife, Marianne." The headline above the couple's picture was
stunning even for the CCC: "Death by Multiculturalism?" The CCC Arkansas
chapter ran an essay waxing nostalgic for the days "when racial
separation was the norm."

But to Ann Coulter, there is "no evidence" on its website that the CCC
"supports segregation." Mostly, she says, the group -- which was formed
from the debris of the White Citizens Councils that Supreme Court
Justice Thurgood Marshall once called "the uptown Klan" -- is about "a
strong national defense, the right to keep and bear arms, the
traditional family, and an 'America First' trade policy." Indeed, she
says, The New York Times and other critics of the CCC are simply
liberals "who have no principles."

BTW, this is Edward R Morrow, who 55 years ago spoke the truth about the
guy Coulter idolizes, Joe McCarthy.
The guy who after being censured by the US Senate, drank himself to
death.
