Mr. Romenesko,
How does Ann Coulter get away with wishing evil on American citizens like this? I say ... Hate Speech, which is *not* protected by the 1st Amendment.
What say we pillory her publicly for wishing harm on innocents, which the right wing attack machine is claiming Prof. Ward Churchill has done.
Ann Coulter is doing the same.
Worse, she's not talking in some generalized past-tense.
I'm sure she would rationalize the following statement as a joke. We shouldn't be laughing.

February 7 edition of CNBC's Kudlow & Cramer:
http://mediamatters.org/items/200502100010
LAWRENCE KUDLOW (host): We got a couple of seconds before the break when you guys are all going to come back, but, Ann, I just want to give you first whack at this.
Eason Jordan, top news executive at CNN -- I mean, to me, this is absolutely incredible -- this guy says at a big conference in Davos that the U.S. military is deliberately targeting and assassinating American journalists. Huh?
He still has a job, huh?
You got a take on that?
COULTER: Would that it were so!
KUDLOW: Would what were so?
COULTER: That the American military were targeting journalists. <...> ~~~
