The ad above was an April Fool's joke.
From Media Matters, further proof that Ann Coulter is an idiot, a sucker and a horrible writer who doesn't know how to research her work:
In her April 1 column, Ann Coulter fell for a fake April Fools' Day article by Car and Driver magazine that claimed that President Obama has ordered General Motors and Chrysler to cease their participation in NASCAR because it is an "unnecessary expenditure." Coulter wrote, "If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an 'unnecessary expenditure,' isn't having public schools force students to follow Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan 'jihads' also an 'unnecessary expenditure'?" Car and Driver originally posted an April 1 story online -- since removed -- with the headline, "Obama Orders Chevrolet and Dodge Out Of NASCAR," and the text, "With their racing budgets deemed 'unnecessary expenditures,' GM and Chrysler are ordered to cease racing operations at the end of the season." However,Car and Driver later clarified that the story was an April Fools' Day joke, then removed the story from its website.
In an April 1 USA Today article, Larry Marshak reported that "Car and Driver later pulled the fake story (which estimated savings of $250 million between the manufacturers) and apologized for 'going too far' while noting the magazine 'has a proud tradition of irreverent editorial and we amplify that each year with our April Fool's Day joke.' "
I saw this innocuous Car and Driver prank originally highlighted on the Drudge Report, teased with a question mark. I knew it was a joke instantaneously--who wouldn't?
Ta-daaah! Ann Coulter swallowed it whole, and her routine lack of research and faulty fact-checking is right there on the page, for all to see.
And the joke's on her. Again.
