It’s the birthday of the conservative columnist Ann Coulter, born in New Canaan, Connecticut (1961). She founded the conservative Cornell Review in college at Cornell and then went on to law school at the University of Michigan, where she started a new chapter of the Federalist Society. She practiced law for more than a decade before she began her syndicated column for the Universal Press Syndicate in 1999. She was fired from a spot as a commentator on MSNBC when she told a disabled Vietnam veteran, “People like you caused us to lose that war.” She later said that she hadn’t realized he was disabled. After September 11, 2001, she lost her column on the National Review website when she wrote a column that said of muslims, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”
She’s gone on to write several controversial and bestselling books of political commentary, including Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism (2003).
