Ann Coulter Slams Edwards With Anti-Gay Slur

Hotline ^ | 3/2/07

"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.

I hear blacks calling themselves niggers and homosexuals calling themselves faggots all the time so whats the big deal. Maybe Ann has proof Edwards is a fag!

Oh, I forgot....Truth hurts.

Homosexuals really ought not be upset. I think she meant it as someone who is weak and effeminate rather than as one who enjoys anal sex.

Red-blooded Conservatives improve their *ahem* circulation on these threads! ;^)

Oh my, I hope she didn't say anything ooooofensive!

And male underclassmen in a Public School. Probably where the perjorative started.

Liberals get uptight over one comment yet they pour out torrents of Hate Bush screeds. What Ann said doesn't come near that. Hardly.

I am so SHOCKED that Ann would compare Pretty Pony to a cigarette! I guess that's an insult now, huh? I'm gonna go have a smoke and think about it!

God almighty, I love Ann's ability to make a point, but why is she attempting to make this point? Talk about getting off message.

[GSWarrior]

This statement is more stupid than Coulter's.

[Jhensy]

Shut up, Ann.

[Lancey Howard]

She called Edwards a pile of firewood?

[Jo Nuvark]

GAY BASHING OFFSET....

You are correct. I should have said I will donate my
ANTI-GAY OFFSET CREDIT to Miss Coulter.

[uptoolate]

Oh, I'm sorry then. As a female, and not one of the 'faggot' type I presume, I could not hold you accountable for not realizing the testosterone rule about Ann threads.

Please disregard my expectation of the rule from you.

I find it odd that all of the 19 other posts before mine were from women also.

...these remarks go directly against what our Founding Fathers intended...

A politically correct bulls**t lie. The Founding Fathers didn't give a damn about protecting the feelings of perverts and/or criminals. Ann's comment recognizes that fact. More power to her. Political correctness is the enemy. Show comtempt for it every chance you get.
