Prosecute Ann Coulter?
A listener sent me a letter directed to the local FBI office. It's an outstanding piece of work, even though I disagree with both the intent of the writer and the statute cited.
I have deliberately removed the name of the writer, but this was not sent anonymously.
It would be my opinion that the federal authorities are now duty bound to investigate. I sure hope somebody has increased security for Justice Stevens because some real nutcase might have gotten a bad idea from Coulter's childish attempt at humor.
My analysis of her speech at Filander Smith is down the blog a few entries. See what you think and post a response.
Here is the letter.
So, what do you say?

Special Agent William C. Temple,
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Little Rock Field Office
(501) 221-9100
24 Shackleford West Blvd
Little Rock, AR 72211
Special Agent Temple,
I am writing to notify you of a troubling act that was committed in your district on or about Friday, January 27, 2006 at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, AR. While speaking to an assembled group, Ann Coulter willfully advocated the assassination of a federal official of the United States. Her exact quote was "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee", thus threatening the health and welfare of a lawfully appointed sitting Supreme Court Justice.
As you are well aware, advocating the assassination of a federal official is a direct violation of United States Code Title 18, Chapter 115, Section 2385, "Advocating overthrow of Government", which states in part:
Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of
overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government;...
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than
twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction.
As a patriotic citizen concerned for the welfare and safety of my country, I cannot idly stand by and let people advocate the unlawful overthrow of our government. I'm sure that you feel the exact same way. I also have concerns that this encouragement, while then covered up as "a joke", is neither a joke to Justice Stevens nor his family, and this comment has caused them duress. Additionally I fear that some unbalanced or deranged individual will take this as encouragement to follow through with Ms. Coulter's assassination order. History has taught us the possibility of this happening is quite real.
Please review this matter promptly and take whatever actions appropriate to resolve this matter quickly.
So, what do you say?
