Leave it to Coultergeist to inject a little race baiting into the gun control debate on Hannity's show. She just can't stop herself: Coulter On Gun Violence: ‘If You Compare White Populations, We Have The Same Murder Rate As Belgium’:

Ann Coulter visited Sean Hannity‘s show Monday night to discuss President Obama‘s recent cabinet picks, as well as his possible actions on gun control. Coulter said she had just come back from England where they have “not bought into” the “diversity enthusiasm” of the States. “The liberals,” Coulter claimed, are “pushing and pushing and pushing” to have more mass murderers of color.

“If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium,” Coulter said. “So perhaps it’s not a gun problem, it’s a demographic problem.”

"Demographic problem," huh? Perhaps it's a poverty problem, Annie. I'm not sure where she's getting her statistics, but I imagine it's her usual source: pulled out of her rear end.

Never mind that the better part of these mass murderers we've seen lately were committed by white males, or that we might have more crime where most of the people actually live in the cities as opposed to rural areas, or in poverty-stricken inner cities as opposed to wealthy suburban areas. No, Ann would rather blame the homicide rates on the color of someone's skin and pretend that white people never commit murder. It's really disgusting, the things they'll resort to on Fox in order to carry water for the gun manufacturers and their lobbyists at the NRA.
