Ann Coulter has had it with "outing" people. The recent attacks by liberals on the credibility of a hooker moonlighting as a conservative White House correspondent have apparently hit a little too close to home for the conservative columnist.
In addition to an attack on a Web site reporter for supposedly operating a gay escort service and thereby cutting into the business of the Village Voice, another Times op-ed article the same day gratuitously outed the children of prominent conservatives.These are not public figures. No one knows who they are apart from their famous parents. I didn't even know most of these conservatives had children until the Times outed them.

Nevermind the fact that those listed have publicly acknowledged their sexual orientation, and in some cases published the details themselves. The fact that Coulter didn't know most of the conservatives listed in the article she mentions even had children says more about Coulter's lack of appreciation for the value of family than anything.
Outing relatives of conservatives is nothing but ruthless intimidation: Stop opposing our agenda -- or your kids will get it. This is a behavioral trope of all totalitarians: Force children to testify against their parents to gain control by fear.It's bad enough when liberals respond to a conservative argument by digging through the conservative's garbage cans; it's another thing entirely when they start digging through the garbage cans of the conservative's family members. (On behalf of conservatives everywhere, I say: Stay out of our gay relatives' cans.)

Coulter doesn't need to be reminded that Republicans spent over $70,000,000 in a now historic investigation into the private sex life of a President, ultimately relying on audio tape of a private conversation to smear President Bill Clinton. Such reminders just drive Coulter further off the edge of fragile sanity.
