Ann Coulter might be escalating her crazy talk:

Speaking at the recent Reclaiming America for Christ conference, (televangelist D. James Kennedy's annual political rally), Ann Coulter not only repeated her now infamous anti-gay slur to the Christian group, but she declared that she can "understand" the assassination of doctors who perform legal abortions.

But her base appears to be shrinking. As a former writer for the Shreveport Times just told me. "If THEY are dumping her, she's got a seriously metastasizing problem on her hands."

Dumping Ann Coulter "isn't some liberal vendetta," says executive editor Alan English. "With Coulter's departure, we're not demanding commentary all dressed up in delicate finery. Forceful, direct, even bare-knuckled writers are welcome as long as they are tackling ideas or stances rather than making profane personal attacks."

The full column is here...E&P reports on a few others that have dropped her....Media Matters lists the columns that do carry her... Conservatives have started a petition to kick her out of CPAC, but why was she there in the first place? It certainly says a lot about CPAC. And why hasn't Malkin signed on?
