Mine is right here. [“Post-9/11 our philosophy should be: Raghead talks tough? Raghead faces consequences.”](http://news.ft.com/cms/s/fdbb21ea-9c35-11da-8baa-0000779e2340.html) This from Ms. Coulter. A stunningly awful and racist comment. There is absolutely legitimate room for scorn and derision for radical Islamists who threaten our existence with terrorist tactics and violence. What they wear on their heads is irrelevant. The phrase “ragheads” is ugly and devoid of meaning. Literally, it encompasses peaceful people who choose to cover their heads for traditional or religious reasons. No reasonable person could take issue with that; no reasonable person would use a derogatory term that lumps such people in with murderous bastards. My ire is saved for those who use terror and violence as tools. Also, for those who spew ignorant hatred. Today, that’s Ms. Coulter. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/conservatives-where-is-your-outrage-at-coulter/344299)._
