As I reported here last week, Mike Huckabee courted pro-Confederate voters in South Carolina last week by defending the flying of the Confederate flag. On the heels of that stump speech, conservative author Ann Coulter came to Huckabee's defense, in an appearance on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes.

In the clip, she incorrectly states that "...the majority of military bases in this country are named after Confederate officers. Eisenhower, Nimitz..."

Coulter is known for making inflammatory statements, often while publicizing one of her many books. In the past, she has used an anti-gay slur against John Edwards and attacked 9/11 widows by saying that they enjoyed their husbands' deaths.

Coulter joins Chuck Norris and pro wrestler Ric Flair in a somewhat bizarre array of Huckabee supporters. The cumulative effect is damnation by praise that is, if not faint, certainly of dubious quality.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
