According to Marvin Olasky, Bush's Faith-Based Guru, that was Ann's claim at a speech she gave last May.
In his August 13, 2005 World Magazine article, "South Park vs. Ann Coulter", he recounts a question and answer session with Ann by a fellow student of his:
Ann Coulter spoke in May at the University of Texas; I was still in New Jersey, but a perceptive Christian student I've taught, Amy McCullough, was there.
Amy reports that the first question to Ms. Coulter was, in essence, "couldn't she be a little nicer? Ms. Coulter said people don't respond to subtle reasoning; one has to 'bop them over the head' and use humor to make people see the light." She's probably right: Earnestness on TV shows and during after-dinner speeches doesn't turn people on, and Ms. Coulter's rapid-fire attacks do.
But Amy also noted a rare, slow-motion answer: "When a young, conservative woman asked how Coulter could stand the awful things people said about her because of her stand on abortion, she hesitated, messed with her hair, and said: 'Well, it's the same way I don't care about anything else: Christ died for my sins and nothing else matters.' I think my jaw hit the floor."
What Mr. Olasky failed to include in his piece was a follow-up question. Luckily, Ms. McCullough included it in her blog post from May 5, 2005.
She couldn't answer the query that came soon after. She couldn't explain her reconciliation about the part of the Bible saying you should love your enemies as yourself. She kind of laughed, mumbled something about Guantanamo Bay and that answering the question would get you on trial for having abused the prisoners. And if she "behaved like liberals, [she'd] be hopping mad!"
