Conservative icon and all-around Trump enthusiast Ann Coulter attended the Rob Lowe Comedy Central Roast recently, only to find herself becoming the roastee, with so-called comedians hurling the "c-word" at her while making extremely disparaging and unfunny comments on her looks.

Since no leftist comedian would ever hurl a "c-word" or body shame one of their own – Lena Dunham, anyone? – comedian Adam Carolla, who skews conservative, explained in a Sept. 9 podcast last week that leftists celebrating the Ann Coulter smackdown are complete hypocrites.

"If you swapped the aisles on this, if this was Janeane Garofalo … you would be run out of this town," Carolla said. "You could not attack the physicality of somebody who came from the other side of the aisle … not a female."

To give a recap, below are some of the insults leveled at Coulter to which Carolla took exception:

"Why is Ann Coulter here tonight? Because the right-to-lifers wanted everyone to see what an abortion looks like up close." — Rob Lowe "Ann Coulter, if you’re here, who is scaring the crows away from our crops?" — Pete Davidson "Ann Coulter is one of the most repugnant, hateful bitches alive — but it’s not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself." — Jimmy Carr "I just realized I’m not the only athlete up here. As you all know, earlier this year Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby." — Peyton Manning "The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave." — Nikki Glaser

If comedians had hurled all this invective at Lena Dunham, Carolla argues, they'd be out of a job the next day.

"If you put Lena Dunham up there, and you start talking about her being a fat ass there would be a serious situation," Carolla said. "And if you had [conservative pundit] Tucker Carlson calling Lena Dunham a fat ass, how much trouble would he be in? Why does this only go one way?"

"You would want [Carlson] fired from any job he had the next day," Carolla said.

Of course, the real issue is that the insulters weren't "laughing with" Ann Coulter. There is a firm difference between low-blow jokes in a spirit of fun and jokes hurled in a spirit of genuine meanness. When Jimmy Carr tells Coulter to "kill yourself," chances are that he genuinely means it, and that's no laughing matter.
