If a liberal-minded commentator sputtered a word like "parasites" (used by Ann Coulter to describe illegal immigrants in California, link in Robin's post below), conservative shouting of "discredited P.C. mindset" would drown out the sound of the plural "s" expiring.
But, I think Ms. Coulter has earned the liberal doppelganger to the conservative name-calling. A well-read girl, Ms. Coulter no doubt knows that this is the same word used by the Soviets and Nazis -- in rare cross-ideological convergence -- to describe Jews, but why she wants to join the Nazis is beyond me.

Let's get this once, right, and with feeling: "Ann Coulter is a Nazi".

Can we go about ignoring her now? Participating in name-calling is a dirty and unpleasant business. I think we're better off taking the ball and going home.
