Des Moines Christian radio host Steve Deace is featured prominently in a new video and corresponding Web site produced by American Right to Life Action (ARTL) attacking right-wing pundit Ann Coulter for supporting 2008 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Deace, who hosts an afternoon drive-time show on WHO 1040, spoke with Coulter Feb. 26 about her latest book and the state of the conservative movement. Then, near the end of the interview, discussion turned to Romney and a frequent complaint the anti-abortion movement has with him – that the health care plan he supported in Massachusetts allowed for government subsidized abortions.

That portion of the interview, which included several pleas from Coulter to drop the Romney discussion and move on (including calling her critics “crazy Romney froofers” and comparing them to 9-11 conspiracy theorists) was pieced together for the video with other radio interviews in Florida, California and Colorado where the hosts gave her a similarly hard time.

“Coulter can answer soft-ball criticism from the left,” ARTL Vice President Steve Curtis said. “But she always has ‘to run’ when Christian journalists document her misinformation and ask for a correction?”

Romney famously lost his cool while appearing on WHO’s Jan Mickelson Show back in 2007. Romney and the show’s host engaged in a heated discussion about the Mormon faith that spilled into their off-air conversation. The radio station videotaped the entire exchange and it eventually made its rounds on the Internet (Romney asserts the video was taken without his knowledge).

Deace has been a long time critic of Romney, throwing his support before the 2008 Caucuses behind former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Before the eventual Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, chose his running mate, Deace and a group of social conservative activists publicly called for radio host Rush Limbaugh to stop calling for Romney’s inclusion on the ticket.
