Ann Coulter Slams Edwards With Anti-Gay Slur

"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, cant 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 countrys 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.

At least Ann wasn't niggardly with her comments.

I don't get it.
Surely Ann isn't saying that Edwards is like a bundle of sticks. Even if that's what she meant, why would anyone be offended?
Perhaps it's the anti-smoking lobby who's upset. Maybe they think Edwards smokes, or that he resembles a cigarette. I could understand that -- but, if that's what she meant, Ann would probably have used the more common term: "fag".
Maybe people thing Ann's calling Edwards a bassoon. I don't know why that would be offensive, but I can sort of see what she's getting at.
To: areafiftyone
Ann is delightful. As far as her remarks about Edwards go, that is the FIRST thing I thought when I first saw him with Kerry: What a pair of homosexuals!
If that offends Edwards, maybe HE needs to go into some kind of rehab. There's nothing wrong with it, is there? ;-D
And when I think of how freely some cast aspersions on Anne.....

Ann's remark was a take-off on that black TV actor who had to go into rehab for using the word 'faggott' in a couple of converstaions.

Isn't that a burning branch in a campfire?
The Brits use it to refer to a cigarette.

. . . it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot . . .
I know that there's a war against smoking, but to go to rehab just because you MENTION a cigarette?
