The Pit thread [Conservatives - Where Is Your Outrage at Coulter?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=358632) seems to be on about this one. For a Pit thread it is (or at least was last I checked) being handled as well or better than many GD threads. Anyway…not sure if what you wanted discussed could be found in there or not but it is worth a look.
