Coulter

Fame, notoriety, and the ability to influence others often provides its possessors with great power. As this power grows it can change those who wield it - and more notably, affect for what purpose this influence is used for. Some people use power with good intentions. Some people don't. Others begin with good intentions and are then corrupted by it and slowly turn toward a darker agenda.
Case in point, Ann Coulter whose malicious jokes at CPAC recently have people wondering if she's gone too far.
Coulter claims she was just joking, but some jokes are hostile. The reasoning behind why what she said is unacceptable was explained eloquently last week by Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Dish here.
Controversy is good for the business Coulter is in. Nobody knows this better than her. But calling somebody "ugly" or a "faggot" doesn't rally more people behind your cause. Coulter seems to have reduced her message to just plain anger. Is her dark side consuming anything decent left in her? Maybe. Her latest salvo damaged her standing, but she won't lose her most ardent fans (Orcs, Trolls, Goblins, and Dark Wizards).
