Elizabeth Edwards, according to an article in the NY Times, asked Ann Coulter to stop the personal attacks upon her husband, presidential candidate John Edwards. Coulter had previously made the remark, among others, that she wished he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.

Coulter's response to Ms. Edwards revealed more than she probably intended:

Coulter responded with a laugh and charged that Edwards was calling on her to stop speaking altogether.

In other words, all she has to offer is hate-filled venom. Take that away and she would have nothing left to say. A scary prospect.
