Hate speech? I wouldn't consider Coulter's speech hateful in the sense that it incites violence against identifiable groups. Besides, hate speech doesn't go away, it is either out in the open or behind closed doors. I prefer it out in the open where it's proponents can be identified and their arguments disseminated and ridiculed for what they are.
That said, I would said that while Coulter may believe much of what she says, I think the vitriol and more extreme positions (as viewed from the right, not the left), are examples of a devil's advocate turned entertainer. I play Devil's Advocate often, and recognize some of the same characteristics when initiating such actions.
