Prominently featured on John Edwards' presidential campaign Web site is a video of conservative commentator Ann Coulter insulting him. And with just a mouse click you can hear the invective and get a chance to donate at the same time.
On Friday, Coulter, a writer and columnist known for provocative remarks, told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I -- so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards."
The Edwards camp is now seeking to capitalize on the slur by soliciting $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" to "show that inflaming prejudice to attack progressive leaders will only backfire."
Meanwhile, conservatives were none too pleased with Coulter, either. Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, said: "Frankly, I would have loved to have heard Ann expose and dissect the radical agenda of Sen. Edwards instead of restoring to cheap name-calling." (AP)
The sign of a badly faltering campaign. What's next, capitalizing on the Breck Girl slurs?
gee, if that's a money-maker for Edwards, it's only a matter of time before he has a video showing an abortion and a button to click to donate more to his campaign.
He should also ask for "Hypocrite Cash" to counter attack all those people who point out his new multi-million dollar home while he claims to be for the poor people in his "Two Americas". Ambulance chaser.
Capitalizes my ass. He has been tarred a faggot for life.
Right out of Ambulance Chasers 101, play the victim, play the victim, play the victim.

in his site as well.
Play the victim while wanting to champion the cause. Be powerless to become powerful. Cynical.
Coulter throwing Edwards a bone is a good thing. I really don't want this to be a battle between Hillary and Obama. Make it a three way battle over who is best able to attract the gay vote.
Ann's comments will be the boost that Edwards needed for his campaign. Before this, he was overshadowed by the gruesome twosome. Now everyone knows he's running and his name is everywhere.
He should buy Ann lunch.
this metro-sexual nancy boy has nothing to complain about...the truth has set him free.
All of us should. Take a number.
LOL!
Perhaps he should change his name from "Edwards" to "F-Words" and really capitalize on the situation?
Bad pun...I'll go away now...
She could use multiple lunches.
I think he would raise more cash by communicating with dead fetuses again. Didn't he do that during a PI case? I think he got millions of dollars for that?
On the bright side, he's taking cash away from some Dem that might have a snowball's chance.
