Great post from David Horowitz's blog:
The Coulter Identity
Here is the syndrome behind the attacks on Ann Coulter: the left is once again in an untenable position defending an enemy who wants to destroy us. Just as they were rooting for the Communists in the Cold War so they want us to lose the war in Iraq and the war with radical Islam. That's because they think we are the cause of the war with radical Islam. According to the left: the Islamicists -- like the Stalinists before them -- are really desperate people driven to desperate means by our imperial ways (which now include torture and the deliberate murder of little children). Since leftists know that they can't just come out and say directly what they think and in so many words -- e.g., America is the bad guy in the war and should throw in the towel, give Iraq to al-Qaeda and give the world a break -- and do so with impunity, they need shields behind which to advance their cause. In this they have taken a leaf from the terro rists' playbook. Hide behind the women and children and then when the Americans defend themselves and fire back call them baby-killers. So the left advances behind "mothers" like Cindy Sheehan, widows like the leftist Jersey girls, and veterans like the ineffable Kerry and call-our-brave-young-men-women
