Anne Coulter: On the book circuit, but off NBC (AP Photo)
According to the Drudge Report, top-selling conservative author Anne Coulter has been banished from NBC – for life.
What started as a spot cancellation of an appearance on tomorrow’s Today Show – allegedly because of statements made in her forthcoming book “Guilty: Liberal ‘Victims’ and Their Assault on America” - has become a perpetual ban.
According to Drudge, sources at NBC claimed they were "just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now."
One is forced to wonder why - after dozens of appearances on NBC-owned programs - the Peacock brass picks this book on which to make a stand.
After all, The Today Show (among others) helped Coulter sell numerous copies of previous writings, which also boasted some of the sharp-elbowed polemist's most scathing commentaries.
Coulter has taken on 9/11 widows, Swiftboat Veterans, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and pretty much everyone in America who is registered (or elected) as a democrat. And, the Today Show had her as a guest not long after she referred to presidential candidate John Edwards as a 'faggot.'
She has also famously spit venom in the face of republicans - most recently pledging to vote for Hillary Clinton if John McCain were to receive the republican presidential nomination.
But when it comes to the Messiah of Obamalot, NBC draws the line.
It’s a good thing they don’t have inflammatory hosts over there at MSNBC – we may end up with some guy in ladies eye wear hurling insults at anyone who is registered (or elected) as a republican.
If NBC's intention was to punish the popular author they could have been a bit more creative - this ban will sell more books than any three minute interview by that hard-hitting marshmallow, Matt Lauer.
But creative and NBC aren't often used in the same sentence (see: Howie Do It).
The network just pushed the button of someone who makes their living pushing buttons. Anne Coulter - and her bank account - thank you.

Have always been a fan of Ann Coulter, and now that the National Bias Communist network has banned her, I've become an even greater admirer. Aah facism at its best from the "tolerant" left. Kudos Ann keep telling the truth and we will keep boycotting NBC.
They do not want anyone anti-Obama? There should be plenty of room - make the anti-Bush people scoot down the hall and make room! NBC - Nightly Barack Chorus, New Barak Coalition... NBC, the network whose theme song should be, "Oops, I did it again..."
NBC stated that they're "just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now." Are you kidding me? Has NBC come completely out of the closet? NBC is not even ashamed to admit that their in bed with O'Bama. I'm sure they would gladly have a Bush bashing liberal on the tube. Can anyone say David letterman? The main stream media is a joke.
Ann, according to the pictures I had, was born a man....in NY..... she is a former Drag Queen who had a 'stint' in the Keys.....her name is really Jeremy Grisholm.....or something like that..I lost the e-mail with the pictures on my harddrive..when my computer crashed...Ann/Jeremy is the most spiteful, hateful, vile, abusive with the mouth, arrogant, antisocial person I have ever listened to....she/he thinks the sun sets on her long blonde hair and Adam's Apple indicative of a male....her friends in the Keys want her/him to come forward and state the problems...possibly because she/he is not what she longs to be, a real woman...glad to see somebody "exited" her from spewing anymore hatefulness ...too bad all wouldn't take this lead and shut her out, altogether....
A body, A large vocabulary, no brain to control either.
