Don't include Coulter among columnists

It's bad enough that you publish the rantings and delusional Walter E. Williams - he of little fact and big opinion.

But I opened the Aug. 8 paper and find you have stooped so low to include Ann Coulter. Seriously? This is an affront to your readership - at least those who can put two coherent thoughts together. She is nothing more than a bombastic publicity seeker. It's an insult to put her on the same page as the legitimate journalist and columnist Fareed Zakaria - while I may not always agree with him - he at least posts reasoned and rational arguments. The same cannot be said of Mr. Williams, who apparently wants to be the thought police for all of academe and society.

But Ann Coulter is beyond the pale.

Please tell me whether this is a one time mistake, or if you have decided to deny your stated goal: To Fear God, tell the truth, and make money - because while you may make money publishing the psycho babble bombast of Coulter and her ilk, there is no truth in Coulter's writings.
