Yesterday I received an email about a new campaign launched by the [advancewomen.org|Center For Advancement of Women]. With their Ann Coulter doesn't speak for me campaign and petition drive, they hope to show the world how Americans truly repudiate extremist media whores for whom no low is too low, hateful and prerjudiced if it means lining their pockets with gold.

This is the time to take down the extremist punditocracy that serve as the face of this country. Because, you know, when people in other countries hear of an Ann Coulter they don't hold her accountable to her own words. No, when Ann Coulter makes popular crap like this :

"Like the Democrats, Playboy just wants to liberate women to behave like pigs, have sex without consequences, prance about naked, and abort children."
How to Talk to a Liberal (2004)

The rest of the world look on her and say, that's America, that's the United States talking.

With Ann Coulter as one of the perennial faces in the New York Times bestseller list, is it any wonder why people around the world think of the US as the white devil?

So go ahead, sign the petition and tell others to do so. These may seem like trivial exercises in democracy to some. Yet they are exactly that : a way to exercise our collective activism for when the big day comes for us as a country to save its democracy.
