She was recently fired from her job as columnist for the National Review Online after she advised that the US conquer Muslim countries and convert them to Christianity. In college she benefited from funds from the Collegiate Network - funded by Richard Mellon Scaife. She trained at the National Journalism Center, which itself is connected to the Young America's Foundation, and run by the conservative philanthropy funded columnist M. Stanton Evans. She founded a chapter of the Federalist Society at the University of Michigan Law School, and later worked for former Michigan Senator Spencer Abraham, himself deeply involved with the Federalist Society. Later Coulter worked at the Scaife-funded Center for Individual Rights. Now she's just been picked up by David Horowitz's Center for the Study of Popular Culture, one of the most prominent recipients of conservative philanthropy money.] Also see: Center for the Study of Popular Culture Washington Monthly's"The Wisdom of Ann Coulter"
