I'm sorry, but Coulter is evil, for exactly the reasons our host stated: she's made a career out of making hurtful, divisive, inflammatory comments and urging others to do and say the same. She's made a career out of appealing to worst in all of us. If that's not soul-destroying in some way, I don't know what is. I know there are many sane people on the right who don't take her seriously. But Coulter's lack of influence (which is arguable--she seems to have done quite well for herself so someone must be buying all those books) doesn't mean she's harmless; it just means that most of us are more highly evolved than she is.
De Genova on the other hand, is best known for a single reprehensible comment right now. Maybe he makes similar comments to his students and colleagues all the time. If he does, he's as bad as Coulter. But if he doesn't, then I'm willing to regard him as a frustrated man who made a vile remark and who needs to think about his own priorities. When De Genova starts getting paid to make more of those kind of remarks--in columns, books, and lectures--then I'll start to equate the two.
