Ann Coulters latest book, Adios, America! The Lefts Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole hit the shelves late last month and is currently sitting at the #18 spot on the New York Times best sellers list. Predictably, the radical right has lauded Coulters anti-immigrant screed, with many calling for the GOP to take up Coulters stance on immigration.

On June 16, Coulter did a live webcast hosted by the anti-immigrant groupNumbersUSA. During the show, both Coulter and the NumbersUSA staff encouraged listeners to immerse themselves in the almost 100 pages of endnotes in Coulters book to get further educated on the immigration issue.

Hatewatch staff decided to take Coulter up on her offer. An investigation into the books 89 pages of endnotes reveals that she routinely cites white nationalists, anti-Muslim activists and anti-immigrant groups in her latest screed.

Heres a rundown of the cast of extremist characters Coulter cites:

Jason Richwine Disgraced Former Heritage Foundation Senior Policy Analyst

Jason Richwinecame to prominence during the most recent major push for comprehensive immigration reform in 2013, when he co-authored a report for the Heritage Foundation on the costs of undocumented immigration. Coulter cited the report in her book. After the report was published, a number of immigrant and civil rights organizations discovered his racist ties. For example, he penned articles for the white nationalist blogAlternative Right, founded byRichard Spencer, a leading white nationalist ideologue.

Richwines 2009 doctoral dissertation at Harvard makes the standard white nationalist claim that there are deep differences in intelligence between races, and that there may be a genetic component to those differences, which, he argues, are persistent over time. He wrote that, No one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites, but the prediction that new Hispanic immigrants will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against. What does that mean with regard to immigration into the U.S.? Richwine argues for simply testing the IQ of those who want to immigrate, excluding those with lower scores. Coulter also cites Richwines dissertation in her publication.

That wasnt the first time he has made statements like that. Five years ago,Hatewatch notedthat when Richwine was a fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI) earlier in 2008, he also compared the intelligence of earlier, mainly white settlers favorably to later, mostly Latino ones. The argument that immigrants themselves are no different from the ones that came 100 years ago I think is quite wrong, Richwine said in a discussion at AEI that aired on C-SPAN, and I think that the major difference here is ethnicity or race, if you will. Races differ in all sorts of ways, and probably the most important way is in IQ.

Peder Nstvold Jensen aka Fjordman Norwegian Anti-Muslim Blogger

In chapter 10 of her book, Coulter cites the Fjordman blog, founded by Peter Jensen, a prolific anti-Muslim blogger. The anti-fascist groupHOPE not hatedescribes Jensen as arguably the single most important influence on Anders Breivik. In 2011,Breivikset off a bomb outside government buildings in Oslo, Norway, killing eight and injuring over 200 before he traveled to the island of Utya and murdered 69 more, many of them teens participating in a summer camp organized by the ruling Norwegian Labour Party. Breiviks reasons for committing this horrific act of domestic terrorism: blaming the government for allowing Norway to be invaded by Muslims.

Ann Coulter is white supremacists' new hero: The most ...

Ten years ago, Ann Coulter was featured onthe cover of Time magazinewith an article entitled Ms. Right. At the time she was a very big presence in the political media but the article pushed her into the realm of popular culture; thus, she became more than just a political bomb thrower. Shed always had the looks and the confidence, and now she had the imprimatur of the mainstream media. Coulter became a full-fledged star.

The article caused a tremendous stir. After all, Coulter was among the most flamboyant of the newer, edgier breed of right-wing provocateurs. In 2000, she had won the Media Research Center-presented Conservative Journalist of the Year award, and the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute gave her its annual conservative leadership award for her unfailing dedication to truth, freedom and conservative values and for being an exemplar, in word and deed, of what a true leader is. It seemed as if she and her incendiary polemics were everywhere, from daily personal appearances on television, her weekly newspaper columns and a series of books that were extremely popular among right-wingers.

From 1998 to 2005, when the magazine cover appeared, she had published a series of books High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right, Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, and a collection of her columns, called How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter all of which were very successful. The theme of these books is obvious from the titles. She was famous for her cleverness in hating and baiting liberals. And in those heady days of conservative apotheosis, with sex scandals, stolen elections, terrorist attacks, unnecessary wars and liberalism on the run as never before, Coulter was the most deliciously vicious of all the haters.Among her famous quotes of the era were:

And one of her most memorable (to me at least) was this one:

We need to execute people like John Walker [Lindh] in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors,

Coulter later clarified what she meant;

When I said we should execute John Walker Lindh, I mis-spoke. What I meant to say was We should burn John Walker Lindh alive and televise it on prime-time network TV. My apologies for any misunderstanding that might have occurred.

If that reminds you of certain fundamentalists operating today in the Middle East, you wouldnt be alone.

Slander and Treason were filled with such vitriol. And they were also cited by numerous critics for their many inaccuracies. Coulter, like her talk radio funhouse mirror image, Rush Limbaugh, always slithered away from any such controversies simply by claiming that shes a comedian of sorts. Heres how that Time Magazine article illustrated her comedic talent:

People say that Jon Stewart has blurred the line between news and humor, but his Daily Show airs on a comedy channel. Coulter goes on actual news programs and deploys so much sarcasm and hyperbole that she sounds more like comedian Dennis Miller on one of his rants than Limbaugh. Consider an exchange on Fox News in June 2001 with Peter Fenn, a Democratic strategist. At the time, Barbra Streisand had suggested that Californians practice more conservation, to which Coulter responded:

Ann Coulter has fallen from grace and the reason why is ...

Ann Coulter appeared on The Kelly File last night ostensibly to discuss the uproar over an Associated Press photograph of Ted Cruz at the CrossRoads Shooting Sports store in Johnston, Iowa in which a poster of a large handgun appeared to be aimed directly at his head but all she wanted to talk about is how there arent any racists in America today.

Megyn Kelly began the segment by noting that if that had been Hillary Clinton or President Obama, the left would have been losing their mind over it. Which is no doubt true, even if it ignores the fact that neither Clinton nor Obama would likely find themselves in an Iowa gun store whose walls were festooned with posters of handguns.

As for the APs claim that the photographer didnt notice the barrel of a gun appeared to pointed at the GOP presidential hopefuls head, Coulter said dont insult our intelligence by saying, we didnt even notice, who would have seen something like that?

She explained that liberals are hypersensitive to images like this when they involve the current president because of their fantasies about racist America, the flames [of which] are being fanned by Americas leading hate-group, the Southern Poverty Law Center, which Coulter cant believe still exists because the Klan and Stormfront only have, like, seven members.

(Because its not as if any recent events have proven that white supremacy is still, in fact, an operative ideology large swaths of the country.)

Kelly tacked back to the subject at hand, reminding viewers that Sarah Palin was blamed for the shooting of Gabby Giffords because she used crosshairs on a campaign poster. God forbid anything should happen to Ted Cruz because of this threatening photo, she said. Should everyone be more careful if theyre going to apply that kind of standard to messaging?

But Coulter only had one subject on her mind. Maybe we can back off with the hysteria about America being a racist country every time the sun rises or the wind blows, she said.

Ann Coulter vs. reality: The Klan and Stormfront only ...

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter recently creditedhate websiteVDARE.com editor Peter Brimelow with inspiringtheattacks on progressive immigration policywithin her new book, 'Adios, America.' In fact, many ofthe ideas presented in the bookappear to be closely modeled afterideas presented bywhite nationalist and anti-immigrantextremistmovements in America.

Coulter Claims US Is Seeking Immigrants From "The Most Misogynist Cultures." In Adios, America, Coulter asks "why are we importing primitive cultures that are centuries behind the West in their regard for women and children?" Further, Coulter claims it is "sheer madness" to be "welcoming cultures with medieval views on the sexes." Additionally, she claims that "it's as if Ted Bundy designed our immigration policies to ensure that the most misogynist cultures go to the head of line." [Adios, America, pg. 143; pg. 145, 2015]

Coulter's Language Mimics Nativist Organizations The Social Contract Press and VDARE. The white nationalist publication of The Social Contract Press, The Social Contract, and white nationalist website VDARE, have both claimed our immigration policy favors "misogynist cultures":

The influx of low-skilled Hispanics will continue, despite claims that the Senate formulation will admit more skilled immigrants. Hispanics have a culture of misogyny that isn't going away, either here or points south.

[...]

Washington is also importing misogyny from the Middle East. [VDARE, 9/24/13]

Why is it never mentioned in immigration debates that women's rights are endangered by the demographic mix now entering the country? Do Americans blithely assume that millions of foreigners steeped in misogynist cultures will be magically transformed into egalitarian citizens when they arrive on our shores?

[...]

The majority of current and likely future immigrants come from countries where the rights of women are few or nonexistent. American women should question how safe their recently won political and reproductive rights will be with millions of misogynist men added to our society. Most non-European cultures still regard women as inferior, yet we are urged to embrace this anti-woman ideology - multiculturalism - as better than our own. Exactly where are these marvelous egalitarian societies that we should emulate? [Social Contract, Winter 99-00]

SPLC: The Social Contract Press "Routinely Publishes Race-Baiting Articles Penned By White Nationalists." According to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), The Social Contract Press "routinely publishes race-baiting articles penned by white nationalists" and was "created by John Tanton, the racist founder and principle ideologue of the modern nativist movement." The organization is considered a "hate group" by the SPLC. [SPLC, accessed 6/16/15; SPLC, Summer 2002]

Ann Coulter's 'Adios, America' Is Just A Series Of ...

As reported here on Tuesday, Ann Coulter is on the anti-immigrant warpath once again, appearing on Fox News Hannity program to promote her new book, Adios, America. Coulters position on immigration has evolved into an equal opportunity nativist hatred, she told Sean Hannity, from merely anti-Mexican racism to an elaborate ideology which founds American decline on all immigrants.

Just a couple days before, Coulter was joined by former congresswoman and presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann and godmother of anti-feminism Phyllis Schlafly to flesh out this theory for World Net Daily. The three influential conservative women were asked to respond to a landmark finding by Gallup, whose most recent poll showed that for the first time, Americans who identify as socially liberal have caught up with self-identified conservatives.

All three were in agreement with Coulters new theory: Its not that Americans minds are changing; its that un-American foreigners (which the rest of us call naturalized citizens) have been allowed to come and stay! here with their radical takes on traditional values. Replacing Coulter and companys anti-Mexican immigrant tack of the last decade or so is an across-the-board condemnation of immigration as a permissible phenomenon.

But its not Swedes or the French (i.e., foreigners with views typically to the left of Americans) that worry the three women. Its immigrants from Third-World nations that are the problem, says Bachmann. The trio isnt content with their already problematic proposition, and poverty gets stirred in, as though poverty is any kind of reliable companion to the possession of liberal social values. With only an obligatory mention of Europeans, the article names Hispanics, Asians and Muslims as the poor immigrants without American-like traditional values of patriarchy and homophobia.

Stop all immigration now, says Coulter even for asylum-seekers. One of the biggest rackets in immigration is those admitted as refugees, she says, using the Boston bombers as a bogeyman to paint all refugees as potential terrorists. And not only will they eventually bomb sporting events, these refugees, but theyre expensive to take care of before they figure out C-4. The Tsarnaevs were welcomed as refugees from persecution and given $100,000 in welfare handouts, Coulter complains.

These poor people dilute our standards, our values, our constitutional system and our pro-American population, worries Schlafly, building on language that by the end of the article unsettles a reader acquainted with nativist nationalists like the Depression-era demagogue Father Coughlin.

Charles Coughlin was a radio personality whose soaring popularity during the 1930s makes Rush Limbaugh look, by contrast, like a ham-radio enthusiast. Coughlin entertained as many as 30-million listeners every week with his anti-Semitic broadcasts, using language and logic alarmingly similar to that of Coulter and her crew.

For example, in the weeks after the Kristallnacht in Germany in 1938, Coughlin delivered a series of sermons on how the Jews might have invited hatred onto themselves. For Coughlin, Communism was the cultural infection that Jews were responsible for. And, not even two weeks after the Kristallnacht, Coughlin took to the airwaves to consider why Germans might reasonably believe that Jews were responsible for the economic and social ills suffered by the Fatherland.

The series of homily broadcasts can be read in a book compiled by Coughlin, Am I an Anti-Semite? Those expecting 150 pages of the word Yes will be disappointed, as Coughlin instead performs some early versions of scientific racism. Like Coulter and company, Coughlins got facts: In a spirit of mutual cooperation; in a scientific spirit of coldly facing causes in order to remove effects, let us pause to inquire why Naziism is so hostile to Jewry (Yikes.)

He continues in the same vein of learned hatred: Speaking as a student of history, I am endeavoring to analyze the reason for the growth of the idea in the minds of the Nazi Party that Communism and Judaism are too closely interwoven for the national health of Germany, he offered. He proceeds to detail how Communism is a global Jewish conspiracy, explaining that the Soviet upper ranks were full of Jews. In the contradictory world of virulent racism, global Jewry can sit atop both capitalism (they run the banks, say anti-Semites) and communism.
