Intent is important. It's what can differentiate between a first degree murder and an accident. Stewart obviously does not mean to project animosity that people have towards a segment of the Muslim population onto undeserving Obama. Coulter obviously does. Hence the former is completely justified to do it, while the latter isn't.
