To understand this, you have to appreciate that the little civil war within the right has started to metastasize with accusations of who's a real conservative and who's not flying fast and furious. Commentor David Frum (who's in a real "pox on all your houses" tear after leaving NRO, having decided NRO is too crazy for him), writes:
Suppose an agent arrived in the offices of Limbaugh/Beck/Hannity/O’Reilly etc. with an offer. “I can guarantee you a deal that will pay you twice as much – bring you twice as much fame – and extend your career twice as long – if you’d say the exact opposite of what you are saying now.” Which of them would sign?

My nominations: O’Reilly accepts for sure. Beck likewise almost certainly says yes. Limbaugh would want to think it over, but would ultimately say no. Mark Levin: certainly not. Sean Hannity would need the offer explained a few times. Ann Coulter – that one puzzles me – but probably no. Roger Ailes? Do you even need to ask?
Coulter, I think, is either a left-wing plant or there's a serious disconnect in her brain. I think Malkin takes it, if only because she's seduced by success and adulation, and that's what the devil is promising her here. The bit about Hannity had me giggling.
