NEW YORK At least two more daily newspapers -- The Oakland Press of Michigan and The Mountain Press of Sevierville, Tenn. -- have dropped Ann Coulter's column. A daily in Pennsylvania had dropped the column two days ago.
Meanwhile, the Human Rights Campaign gay-rights organization announced a campaign late this afternoon to get other Coulter newspaper clients to drop the columnist. This comes a day after HRC started a letter-writing effort that resulted in what it said were more than 20,000 messages urging Universal Press Syndicate to stop distributing Coulter.
Oakland Press Editorial Page Editor Allan Adler, when reached this morning by E&P, said Coulter's use of the word "faggot" in a Friday speech was "definitely a factor" in his newspaper's decision. He also read a statement from his paper that went as follows:
"When we picked up Ann Coulter, it was because we felt we needed a conservative columnist ... and we knew she had a following. She certainly no longer represents conservatism and apparently is more interested in being a celebrity. We are searching for a new columnist and will no longer be running Coulter."

If only she could be dropped repeatedly...
on her head...
on the other hand maybe that's how it all started when she was a kid.
She's like a pimple that just won't go away. Ever heard of Paula Hanson of Australia who got infamous for standing up against immigrants? She just wouldn't go away.
Its typical american pundits.
The left is funny (comedians) while the right is rude, vile and full of hate. Now there's hate on the left as well but the left always gets beat on more then the right.
Best example is Rush and O'Rielly.
