Starting at post #1:
"I for one would be willing to start a collection to fly her out to the reactor core to see if she would put her butt where her mouth is."
There were more; you look em up.
That's wanting her dead?
Really?
You've got to do better than that.
She's the one that said radiation won't hurt you, it will stop you from getting cancer.
Offering to provide her transport to the site is not wishing her dead, it's a proactive cancer treatment.

You just have to read the article she wrote about this subject to see that she didn't really say what you say she did. She did not say that heavy doses are good for anyone. You are trying too hard to say she said something that she did not say.
Oh hell I just realized that I got my info from her most recent article and didn't listen to the original link because I could see from the introduction in the OP that the OP didn't have the knowledge of knowing about her article.
Coulter states on "O'Reilly Factor" that radiation is good for you according to "scientists". She even dismisses him stating that radiation can be deadly.
O'Reilly even starts the mocking after she stated this, making it even funnier.
"So by your account we should all be heading towards the nuclear reactor"
I for one would be willing to start a collection to fly her out to the reactor core to see if she would put her butt where her mouth is.
When you are a walking corpse, radiation probably will not hurt you. I can't stand that dude.
You will never hear anyone else on the mainstream media reporting it...........that was her point.
Well of course not; it's a crock!

Don't they wear raidation monitoring badges?

No one on this thread has expressed a desire for AC to die.

Funny that the poster you quoted was oh so offended by such talk on another thread. Of course, that one wasn't an RW thread.

Unless you are there and privy to Japanese government information you really do not know the extent of the radiation spread, IMO. YMMV.
Shame on you for trying to capitalize upon this for political points in this forum. Bad form, really bad form.

I've listened to the radio talkshow hosts the OP's linked addressed. They have not suggested that this disaster is anything less than catostrophic nor have they suggested that the radiation is not dangerous to the people in Japan. They are not attempting to incite panic either via over sensationalism.
This is a really pathetic troll thread exploiting a tragedy, nothing more. Dishonest to the core and really bad form.

*ba-dum-ch!*
