Coulter Suggests Mass Murder As A Way To "Save England From Itself"
Ann Coulter
A few well-placed rifle rounds, and the rioting would end in an instant. A more sustained attack on the rampaging mob might save England from itself, finally removing shaved-head, drunken parasites from the benefits rolls that Britain can't find the will to abolish on moral or utilitarian grounds. We can be sure there's no danger of killing off the next Winston Churchill or Edmund Burke in these crowds.

Bruning compares the poor to scavenger animals.
Jon Bruning
The raccoons figured out the beetles are in the bucket. And its like grapes in a jar. The raccoons - they're not stupid, they're gonna do the easy way if we make it easy for them. Just like welfare recipients all across America. If we don't incent them to work, they're gonna take the easy route.

Bauer compares feeding stray animals to helping the homeless.
Andre Bauer
My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. Youre facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that dont think too much further than that. And so what youve got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They dont know any better.
