Stereotypes of the GOP? Congrats FreeRepublic & Coulter! We've Just Confirmed Most Of Them ...

Howard Dean Demands GOP Candidates Denounce Ann Coulter for Referring to John Edwards as a 'Faggot'

Please read some of the reply posts contained within the above link.

We all hear the complaints of how Libs stereotype and exaggerate the belief models of the GOP. Each of the complaints are justified due to the self-serving nature in which they're presented by different individuals imop (i.e. Sharpton, Jackson, Gore, Clintons, Dean etc).

Understanding the attention this forum carries and willingness of the MSM to stereotype, it really makes a person wonder "why these posts"?

It's well known Coulter is a loose-cannon who's not the most likeable person on the street. Sure, from time to time she may say things that we all wish we could say about a topic. Too many of those times they're comments that are intended to cut deep, undercut pride or reduce a person's dignity. In hindsight, we realize that by holding our tongue a mistake wasn't made with those comments. Disagreements are made through detail and facts, not over-the-top personal attacks.

We also hear/understand the remarks about Libs dividing the country, but no one works harder at it than Coulter.

Give a moment of reflection during the Hillary Clinton 2008 Acceptance Speech ... and think about the persons' who will reap the financial and media exposure benefits the most from her victory.

Same shoe, different foot.

I wouldn't worry about this. Switch on Air America (assuming it's still there) and you'll hear things that are far worse - I remember when Al Franken accused Hannity of being a deformed hermaphrodite.

As she's not a part of any particular candidate's campaign, it also will not be used as a stick to beat any of the Republican contenders.

"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,' "

This a funny joke. Is it a little crass? Yes but still funny.

A tranny calling someone a faggot? More ironic than funny

"She was just making a point about political correctness"

'Faggot', 'Macaca', and even 'big ears' are insensitive and unforgivable, and yet equating Bush with Hitler is free speech? She IS clever and funny and the left looks for ANY reason to torpedo her.

Lets turn the joke around and see if its still funny. "I am on this thread to talk about Ann Coulter but you have to go into rehab if you use the word "tranny" so I will have to pass."

See its not funny because unlike "faggot" you don't have to go into rehab if you use the word "tranny".

To make matters worse, by denouncing her, we tacitly admit that she actually has an official capacity for conservatives. She doesn't represent us.

And it appears there are plenty of PC republicans who want to squash free speech or at least use pressure usually reserved for use by the media, to shame actors and athletes into going into rehab over speech.

it's okay for the GOP image that Coulter say these things?

It could have been worse. She could have called him a major league a..hole or told him to go f himself. We all know that real Republicans don't do that sort of thing. She would have had to shave her head and go into rehab. Real Republicans don't call a fairy a faggot.

She was just making a point about political correctness and the fact that the guy from Grey's Anatomy actually went in to rehab, or shall we say reeducation camp, because he called a gay guy a faggot on the set.

And how many of the people who heard Coulter knew that background? Or instead just thought she was screaming for attention, again?

The more you have to explain a joke after the telling the less funny it is.

Well I would guess Rush and Hannity probably mentioned it on their shows. It was front page news and ABC reported it. Greys Anatomy is a big hit show.

FYI...in January, 2001, shortly after conceding the election, Al Gore appeared on Saturday Night Live. In one skit, he posed barechested in a hot tub, drinking wine with a Joe Lieberman look alike. At the end of the skit, they leaned towads each other, entwined arms, and drank, and appeared to be about to kiss as the screen faded to black.

Coulter should refrain from doing this at such gatherings where she is just one cog, because it gives the media a convenient excuse to ignore everyone and everything else and focus on her. She should save this for events centered around her and her alone.

Yeah, I don't think Ann did anything wrong, not should she apologize.

"You question someone's conservative beliefs because they don't think it's appropriate to call a candidate a "faggot" in a highly profile public forum?? That type of thought process is more than a little frightening."

Oh stop being such a wussy faggot.

Does this make you want to vote for a liberal candidate?

So understanding the joke behind Anna'a "edgy" humour requires following some chick TV show?

I am so dissapointed in Ann. Now I'm thinking she is hurting more than helping. It's true - we will never live down the stereotypes as long as our "spokespeople" continue this kind of talk.

It's funny (well, not really), but my Father in law is a Dem. He is the one who is rasist, homophobic, bigoted..everyting they say about the Repubs. But we are the ones that the lable will always be pinned on. Sad.
