Coulter: Boston Suspect’s Widow ‘Ought To Be In Prison For Wearing A Hijab’

Appearing on Fox News Republican talk show “Hannity” Monday night, right-wing columnist Ann Coulter said she’s sad that not only does she think the Boston bombing should shut down the nation’s immigration reform debate, she would like to see the alleged bomber’s widow in jail too, not for committing a crime but for “wearing a hijab.”

“I don’t care if she knew about this,” Coulter said. “She ought to be in prison for wearing a hijab. This immigration policy of us, you know, assimilating immigrants into our culture isn’t really working. They’re assimilating us into their culture. Did she get a clitorectomy too?”

Hannity seemed momentarily puzzled at the sudden citation of female genital mutilation, stammering his reply. “I, uh, I don’t know the answer to that,” he said before confidently adding: “But your point is well taken.”

Hannity went on to say that he believes people who immigrated “from countries where perhaps they grew up under Sharia law” are definitely a threat and “I think we can make a safe assumption that they have been radicalized.” He added that even foreign students should be subjected to greater scrutiny, lest they too pose a threat.

“Our immigration policy has nothing to do with helping America,” Coulter insisted. “It has to do with solving the internal problems of other countries. We’ll take Russia’s radicals. We’ll take the illiterate, unskilled, low-skill workers from all these countries. We’ll take their old people and put them on our supplemental security and Medicare. No, immigration policies are supposed to make your country better, not to make it worse and to create all these problems.”

I guess she thinks she isn't getting enough attention lately, so she has to come up with ever more outrageous comments. She ought to be ignored.

It's ugly, but people have to see the consequences of their conservative ideas.

We sure don' t need to take 'illiterate, unskilled, low-skill workers' from other countries when we've already got Coulter and Hannity.

I honestly can't accept the fact that she believes the crap she's saying--I think she does it for shock value, like Howard Stern.

F8cking horrible. She is basically accusing an entire religion of genital mutilation.

I remember a couple of years ago, she was always babbling about fisting.

She achieved her 15 minutes of fame arguing about Bill Clinton's penis.

Now it "clitorectomies?"

Does anybody really think she is relevant?

What is wrong with those people?


Clitorectomies are a horrific and terrible part of a culture in Africa, I think.. I don't believe it is related to the Muslim religion, but I could be wrong.

Coulter is wrong all the time though.. just wrong. Her diatribe is like a bizarro parody of the Emma Lazarus poem written on the Statue of Liberty, ".........Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"


Geez..

By that logic, she supports a full-out gummint gun grab too, just in case.
