Cedar Rapids Newspaper Drops Ann Coulter's Column


Every newspaper that carries Coulter's hate speech should drop her column. Those who carry hate speech, like that of Coulter, will have only themselves to blame when civil war breaks out in this country.

Cedar Rapids Newspaper Drops Ann Coulter's Column:

NEW YORK - Ann Coulter is no stranger to controversy, but her latest adventures have several newspapers questioning whether carrying her syndicated column is worth the trouble. The Shreveport (La.) Times is currently leaving the decision of whether or not to keep Coulter up to its readers. But the first newspaper to officially drop Coulter's column since the latest uproar began seems to be The Gazette of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she had appeared for about 14 months.

Opinion Page Editor Doug Neumann told E&P, 'Our decision was made before the plagiarism allegations. It did come after the publication of [Coulter's] book, but I would say it didn't directly play any role on our decision.'
