Ann Coulter Denounces Liberal Attacks On Breitbart, Defends His Attacks On Ted Kennedy

Tonight Sean Hannity railed against liberals who have been writing negative things about the late Andrew Breitbart while many are still grieving. Hannity specifically called out Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi, who titled his Breitbart piece “Death of a Douche” and ended it with “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Taibbi argued the language he used in his piece was a reflection of how Breitbart chose to go after Ted Kennedy right after his death, but Hannity was having none of it.

Hannity brought on Ann Coulter to talk about a supposed double-standard between what happens if a conservative like Breitbart says negative things after a person’s died and if a liberal does. Coulter joked about Rolling Stone‘s diminished relevancy before directly addressing the double standard, but from the other perspective. Coulter defended Breitbart calling Kennedy “a piece of human excrement” by saying his comment was accurate, and that Kennedy was deserving of it because of the infamous Chappaquiddick

and “a little pushback” was necessary.

Hannity brought up statements Bill Maher has made in the past that he considers to be unbelievably offensive, and pointed out the million-dollar donation Maher made to President Obama‘s Super PAC. Hannity asked Coulter if the president should tell the group to just give the money back, but Coulter suggested Obama would need to hold on to every penny for his reelection. However, Coulter did express some annoyance with Hannity at playing the Maher clips in the first place, saying that it just gives him more publicity to a mostly conservative audience.
