There was nothing wrong with any of this. It was a roast. It's reminiscent of the street contest played among boys where they insult each other's
mothers.
Heck, remember the movie Stand By Me, where the narrator says, "Insulting someone's mother was always held in the highest regard," or something to
that effect.
Context is everything. If you just walk up to some random kid and start insulting his mother, you might get decked. But if you're engaged in a "your
momma" contest with a crowd of cheering on-lookers, it's a sport.
Not that Ann Coulter was the butt of a your-momma joke, but it's essentially the same thing: saying mean and nasty things to one another for sport, to
see who can get in the nastiest jabs.
It's also reminiscent of rap battles.
The only "over the limit" thing I've ever seen at one of these roasts is the one where one drunk participant actually peed on another one. That was a
bit too much. LOL.
