Ann Coulter Slams Edwards With Anti-Gay Slur
Hotline ^ | 3/2/07

Posted on 03/02/2007 3:46:10 PM PST by areafiftyone

"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," Ann Coulter said today at CPAC. Her audience seemed to to evince both shock and delight.

The Human Rights Campaign's Joe Solomnese was not happy.

“To interject this word into American political discourse is a vile and disgusting way to sink the debate to a new, all-time low. Make no doubt about it, these remarks go directly against what our Founding Fathers intended and have no place on the schoolyard, much less our country’s political arena.”

Next, there'll be calls for Republican candidates to disassociate themselves from Coulter's remarks. Unfairly, ex-MA Gov. Mitt Romney faces the biggest burden: he spoke right before Coulter and praised her... not knowing what she planned to say.

She isn't a people pleaser - those that have a NEED to be liked.

Utter and complete nonsense! How do you think she pays for her multiple residences? Manhattan and D.C. don't come cheap.

She wants to be "liked"....

Wormwood: She's a pathetic attention whore,

You criticize her - yet, your comment towards Ann is MUCH worse than she implied. See how hypocrisy is exposed?

But I'm sure this jackass is perfectly fine with calling the President of the United States a Nazi and saying he BETRAYED the country. I bet he was at Moveon.org every day during the 2004 election telling the moonbats to elevate their arguments.

No - those who buy her books like her! Hope she buys 10 more residences. One in Manhattan and one in Florida. Big deal - I have the same myself!

All you Duncan Hunter people are missing the point.

Ann has taken the attention off anything Hunter said today.

There will be no mention of him of any significance in the MSM.

There will, however, be extensive coverage of Ann.

She hogged the spotlight.

No - those who buy her books like her!

Golly! How many times do I have to spell it out???!!!

Ann knows her audience and she wants to sell books.

She WANTS and NEEDS to be liked by the people who buy her books.

I don't care how many homes she has.

It was a silly statement that she doesn't NEED to be liked.

She NEEDS to be liked by folks like you who will fork out the dough.

I was saying Ann doesn't have the need to be liked - not that you did. Sorry, if I gave that impresssion.

As I said on another thread, I think it's a safe thing to say that Ann Coulter likes the attention she gets from the controversies she creates. But let's play the hypothetical: what if some other notable conservative had said it? Would the blog critics have been as quick to criticize?

No really. I just got out of the hospital, now my wife is sick, and I haven't seen any news about Duncan.

And just who do you think engineered that scenario...

Ann knows how to sell books to folks who will fork over the cash.
