Conservative pundit Ann Coulter responded today to the announcement that WorldNetDaily was dropping her as a speaker for one of their events, calling WorldNetDaily Editor Joseph Farah a publicity whore and a swine.
Coulter was bumped from the speakers list of WNDs September Taking America Back National Conference after it was announced that she had accepted a speaking gig at a New York City party hosted by GOProud, a Washington-based group that represents gay conservatives.
[F]arah is doing this for PUBLICITY and publicity alone, Coulter wrote in an email to The Daily Caller on Wednesday afternoon.
WND posted an email exchange between Coulter and Farah in their public announcement that she would be removed from the list of speakers. Coulter expressed anger that he quoted her from their private emails on the issue.
[T]his was an email exchange [between] friends and even though I didnt expressly say OFF THE RECORD and I believe everything I said, hes a swine for using my private emails politely answering him. Coulter wrote in the email to TheDC. [W]hy would he do such a despicable thing?
for PUBLICITY.
The conservative pundit said that WND is well known for making decisions just to get attention, citing the conspiracist sites regular articles about President Obamas birth certificate.
I will say that [Farah] could give less than two sh-ts about the conservative movement as demonstrated by his promotion of the birther nonsense (long ago disproved by my newspaper, human events, also sweetness & light, american spectator and national review etc, etc etc). Hes the only allegedly serious conservative pushing the birther thing. for ONE reason: to get hits on his website.
(She mentioned in the email that she had typed it in a rush.)
Coulter added that she would not be losing anything from the dropped speaking engagement since WND had not been able to come up with the money to pay her anyway.
