Edwards handlers:

You man's only shot is to have it reported he is born-again and begin donating heavily to accpetable good causes.

You handlers know the actual demographics. Good luck.

You never give the opponent emotional fuel for their fire. Ann just gave the Ds ammunition to use against us.

You don't go out to the press before the game and say, "Their QB is a sissy."

That's just basic, simple, common sense.

Too many here on FR don't seem to know how to win.

I don't know anything about that case, but that sounds ghastly.

Oh give me a break...Edwards is so obviously a sissy that this isn't going to help his pitiful campaign one bit. I'm sure Obama and Hillary are just shaking in their boots at the thought of a resurgent Edwards riding the crest of outrage created by Ann Coulter =/

I'd say something about John Edwards, but if you say 'faggot' you have to go to rehab."

Oh please. This has now reach the pathetic stage. You want the most powerful job in the world so you cry and whine because a pundit told a joke about you? This doesn't help Edwards at all, it makes him look weak and childish. This is not Presidential in the least. Outside of Leftist political circles, this really is hurting Edwards. This guy simply isn't tough enough to be President.

Exactly. Coulter's hostility can ONLY end up losing the Republicans votes.

She is not as clever as she thinks she is.

Headline by this time next year:

Edwards may be more effeminate than Hillary, but I don't want to join Ann in the rehab/re-education camps. He is going to get smoked.

What it does, is give the Ds sympathy and fuel.

It gives them ammunition to say the Social Cs are the 'we hate gays' crowd.

It was a stupid thing to say, pandering to the extremists who just want to insult the other side without engaging them in debate.

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."

I would tend to agree. She will now become the issue, thanks to her boneheaded comments.

One would think with all her experience, she'd know better.

I'm afraid too many here never played sports, and don't really know the basics of competition.

Because we actually know how to fight an enemy instead of thinking spending all our time sniping our own in the back is "helpful" like the faux Conservatives. Sorry you hate Ms. Coulter Drop the pseudo moralizing and look at your behavior for what it is. Your personal dislike for the lady.

Yesterday, I was sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office. They had CNN on. This lady with 2 kids under the age of 7 got all offended because CNN did a story on this. They bleeped the "f-word". She went and demanded the channel get changed because she didn't want her kids to hear such harsh language or have to explain it.

She was perfectly okay with the story a few minutes before about the 2 kids under the age of 5 who were video taped smoking crack their uncle gave them.

Go figure.

Worth repeating - this helps all Dims, not just Edwards.

Races are won by appealing to the mushy middle, and the more the Ds can paint Republicans in a bad light the more political advantage they gain.

Republicans may now have a harder time reaching that middle, unless they publicly disavow her stupid, pandering comments.

I think Ann is definitely as clever as she thinks she is.

Her audience would be a different story, however and she just got a little bit too far in front of the crowd.

Not just the middle. A good portion of people who believe in a conservative use of federal power were offended by this comment.

This comment, and the defense of it, makes me feel like distancing myself from the folks who feel this way.

Sorry you hate Ms. Coulter

I don't hate her at all. She can write some funny stuff if you are into that sort of thing. Does her work rise to the caliber of what I would expect to see at CPAC? No. Not at all. Would I expect to see such childish behavior at the same? No.

I'm sure that Obama and Hillary both wish Coulter will call them something so they can raise some money, too. And I doubt that they'll have to wait long.

I am getting really sick and tired of that transvestite-looking Anne Coulter. Each and every time she is on TV or writing an opinion piece, it turns out to be some sort of vitriolic and venomous attack on whoever the person of the week is.

Do you see Malkin or Rush acting like that each and every time? I think not.

I wish this 'lady' would just go away.
