The Coulter Double Standard

Writing at NewsMax, Steve Malzberg talks about how the liberal press holds Ann Coulter to a much higher standard than it does for left-wing humorists.

You have to admire the brazen hypocrisy being exhibited by the liberal media when it comes to the treatment that Ann Coulter has been receiving from them.

She has been so vilified that at least one liberal columnist has reportedly suggested she'd be better off dead. He actually asked her, "Would it kill you to do us all a favor and kill yourself?" But that columnist, Simon Dumenco of Ad Age, gets away unscathed – as do the rest of those who have directed vile, outrageous and shameful remarks in the direction of Coulter and others on the right.

Let's take the much-hyped Wednesday night matchup on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" on NBC between Coulter and George Carlin.

You may remember Carlin as the man behind the "seven words you can't say on TV."

I also cannot write them on these pages.

In a CNN.com story about the Leno show, Coulter is described as "the acid-tongued conservative" while good old George is tabbed as "the quick-witted, anti-establishment comedian." I also see that he is in the voice cast of the new hit movie for kids called "Cars." (Disney might want to take a closer look at its movie voices in the future.)

I wonder when Ann will get her shot to voice a kids movie?

Read the rest. I think the double standard extends beyond just Coulter.
