@AnnCoulter loses it

In case you missed it, yes she tweeted this during last night's Republican Presidential Candidate Debate:
And to put it in context, that was after she tweeted all of these:
She's been defending herself ever since.
Well maybe the candidates talked about those things because they are the antithesis of the views of Obama and the current Democratic candidates. That's not pandering to any of those three core Republican groups - it's showing how the Republican candidates are different from the Democrats.
I would be cool with that (although as longtime readers know, I don't think it's anywhere near as effective as it's touted to be). But in that case, wouldn't you ask 'why talk about Israel's border fence when we should be talking about America's?

Is that the fault of the candidates or the moderators?

There's a lot more at Coulter's Twitter feed.  But perhaps this tweet (from someone who follows me on Twitter) and Coulter's response sum it up best.

Having read an awful lot of comments... I don't think so. It seems that unfortunately, the GOP of my generation and my children's generation still includes a lot of the John Birch Society types that kept my parents (and most Americans to this day) away from the Republican party. Perhaps that's why many of the Republican candidates feel the need to 'pander' (as Coulter insists on calling support for Israel) to Jewish voters.

Sure hope you can't tell Ann Coulter's views by the company she keeps...
