Stoking the fires of hate and divisiveness

Note to the GOP: Hatefilled troglodytes like Coulter and Limbaugh must go in order to save your party.

Republicans: if there is any lesson to be learned in all of this and for you to rebuild your party, you must replace minions like Coulter with high-minded intellectuals.
