In a column published on Thursday, conservative pundit Ann Coulter joked that the killing of politicians’ children should “start with Meghan McCain.”

Earlier this week, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MA) told MSNBC host Martin Bashir that he was sensitive to the need for more gun control because his nephew had been shot and killed several years ago.

Bashir suggested that members of Congress should not have to experience the death of a family member to understand that gun violence was a problem.

“But Congressman, is that what needs to happen to move these senators to stop threatening a filibuster?” Bashir asked. “Is that really what needs to happen? That you need to have a member of your family killed in order for you to do what the American people want you to do?”

Conservative websites interpreted Bashir’s statement to mean that he was advocating the murder of politicians’ family members.

And on Thursday, Coulter decided it would be funny to suggest the daughter of Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) should be the first to die.

“MSNBC’s Martin Bashir suggested that Republican senators need to have a member of their families killed for them to support the Democrats’ gun proposals,” Coulter wrote. “Let’s start with Meghan McCain!”

In a series of posts to Twitter, Meghan McCain said that the column was out of line.

“Apparently Ann Coulter made a joke about me being killed in a recent column,” she wrote. “I should expect nothing less but disgusted regardless.”

“My father is a very famous politician. My family gets a lot of threats. Joking about me being killed really isn’t funny or appropriate,” Meghan McCain continued. “People like ann coulter [sic] are part of the past and only live to spread hate and negativity. I literally couldn’t imagine living a life that seems so void of love, compassion, and perspective.”

Mother Cindy McCain added that Coulter “needs to get a life!”

1. Is she a robot?

Seriously, she must be an android of some sort. I mean, she has no intelligence or compassion.

2. No couth!!! nt

3. Get real Meghan. People like Coulter DOMINATE the Republican Party.

Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Coulter, Beck, and their millions of devotees all feel exactly the same about you and say exactly the same hate-filled shit. It's what happens when 'conversatives' devolve into reactionaries.

4. Coulter is a punk, and the "outlets" which promulgate her trash...

Abet her spread of hatred.

[magellan]

5. Wow, the Cheneys finally attempt to heel their dog Coulter

A moment years in the making, and all it took was a personal attack.

[MNBrewer]

6. Ann who?

(ignore her and she'll go away.)

[dballance]

7. Just says whatever comes to mind

No restraint whatsoever, but that's why they have her on isn't it? So people will tune in just to see will tune in to hear what she says.

[Aristus]

8. This will re-direct a lot of attention on to Ann Coulter.

Mission Accomplished, as far as she's concerned...

[Arkansas Granny]

12. Yes, just like a spoiled child, she doesn't care of the attention is good or bad as long

as it centers on her. She really is disgusting.

[The Second Stone]

9. Coulter finally went way over the line

and let's see what happens. This woman has been trolling the American public for a living for years. If she is lucky, all of her beltway buddies will pretend they never knew her.

10. Thank Goodness - she's been out of the public eye for a while

This is just the hateful shot in the arm her career needs.

11. And to think...

I was once almost banned from teh DU for my not nearly as odious comments about Coulter.

If anyone needs me, I'll be basking in the irony, full schadenfreude mode. Ahh....

[tularetom]

13. All coulter has going for her is that she sells books by saying outrageous crap

And the more outrageous the crap she says, the more books she sells.

When the old levels of outrage aren't enough to sell books she simply cranks it up a notch or two.

McCain is incorrect when she says coulter only lives to spread hate and negativity. She lives only to make a ton of money off of gullible fools. The hate and negativity are only tools to that end.

[Javaman]

14. and most if not all of her books are just retreads of the previous one. nt

[olddots]

15. Barnes & Noble is full of turd maggot screeds

the key visual areas are filled with Coulter ,Oretcho and what ever shit that Barnes & Noble are in financial bed with .
the 3 TV corporations ( figure 3) have a vested interest in people like Coulter its called fascism .

I sound paranoid but so did a lot of people in 1933 Berlin

[treestar]

16. Now she is getting desperate for attention

Heinous. And the interpretation of the Bashir statement is just ridiculous.

[City Lights]

17. She is an absolutely disgusting human being.

is her problem? Whatever it is, she's rich enough to get it fixed.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. That's horrible

that's why I use vile language to describe Ann Coulter.

She is too wet to step on and too low to kick.
