The party of Christian values - riiiight.

How do they get away with it? Utter viciousness, I mean. Ann Coulter, right wing extremist columnist, has called for the poisoning of Justice Stevens and calls it a joke. Read this from the article entitled, "Poison Justice Stevens, Coulter jokes" published by CNN:

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, speaking at a traditionally black college, joked that Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned.

Coulter had told the Philander Smith College audience Thursday that more conservative justices were needed on the Supreme Court to change the current law on abortion.

Stevens is one of the court's most liberal members.

"We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."

That's not a joke. That's over the top nastiness. It's like Pat Robinson getting his "flock" to pray for the deaths of Supreme Court justices so that Bush can appoint some more. So much for "compassionate conservatism". Sheesh.
