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.
