Oh, dear! Ann Coulter was eating her own young on C-Span tonight

The wicked witch of the Right appearing before a Young Americans for Freedom audience totally trashed McCain, calling him a bone-head. She said she thought Hillary Clinton's stand on the war on terrorism was better than his, even though she hates the Clintons. She blamed Mitt Romney's failure to get more votes on the media "because they always focus on our weakest candidate". She said she thinks Romney would be the best vice president. Then she compared Huckabee to Jimmy Swaggert. One young woman asking questions practically broke down when she said she thought Coulter was causing a division in the Republican party with her attacks on McCain, and she was afraid the Democrats might win because of it. The fear the young woman expressed about living under a Democratic president seemed genuine. You could tell her disappointment with Coulter was painful. The most interesting thing about it was realizing that the young people in the audience, who one could suppose became enchanted with politics (the young girl admitted as much) because of Ann Coulter's ruthless biting commentaries about Democrats, seemed confused about how to respond when she was attacking McCain and Huckabee. Not all of them were laughing at her jokes.
