"They claim to Drudge that I was mean to Obama, or Obambi but the truth of matter is I'm far less mean to Obambi to the media."

Would that be The Big Book of How Things Are Going Swimmingly in Afghanistan? I've been looking forward to that one...

Kind of a mean spirited individual, she should just stick to those outlets that support or accept her. Attacking NBC from afar is more consistent with her typical behavior anyway.

Wonder what happened to her that resulted in this viciously extroverted personality.

In spite of my being a conservative, I'm no fan of Ann Coulter. I also think the timing of this "banning" is very advantageous to the publication of her new book. But that being said, I also think the mainstream media has ceased being a resource for the impartial deliverance of news and has now become one giant public relations network for liberal politicians and liberal causes. There is a real "circle the wagon" mentality amongst the commercial network spokespeople, CNN and other cable networks as well as most of the nation's newpapers and they have taken it upon themselves to defend Obama and his policies and to impose sanctions on those who disagree. Frankly, it is a sad state of affairs that the American public can no longer depend on those sources to get fair and impartial coverage of what is going on in our country and the world. It is becoming all too reminicient of the old Soviet state when dissenting journalists were thrown in to prison for daring to speak out against government policy.

She just can't help herself, can she? Refuting that she's insulting & then in that refute not once but twice calls Obama Obambi. She's an insult to the human race.

They haven't "banned" her, they just refuse to do business with her. Certainly as a conservative she understands the right of a business to choose who they do business with.

More stations should make that choice. She is a meanspirited hateful person who thinks she is above everyone.
Just my opinion.

This really isn't about her having been banned but rather about the lack of impartial behavior of the news media. When one of the most noteable media who*es, Barbara Walters, can interview the likes of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro with no repercussions about their animosity towards the United States but when Coulter dared to criticize the "holy family" (the Obamas) she was deemed a pariah.
