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.

our side really doesn't need this nonsense, it adds nothing to the debate, and gives the media an opportunity to denigrate the entire conference.

Don't know about the rest of you, but she looks sexy in this pic.

Democrat presidential candidate Al Sharpton had organized race riots that ended with the deaths of innocent people, yet nobody in the republican party demanded that "democrats" disown themselves from the race monger.

Poor judgment on Ann's part.

[LonePalm]

Was she referring to Edwards as a bundle of sticks?

He may be many things but he is not a bundle of sticks. He is much more like of a sack of ... manure.

Not that there's anything wrong with it

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

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!

The Democrats are in favor of diversity as long as it's all in agreement with them. They favor tolerance for Muslims but not conservatives. They bash us with hate constantly and wonder why we don't knuckle under.

[Pukin Dog]

Could someone please BUY a clue?????

The two bloggers that Edwards hired have used the word many times.

Anyone who complains about Ann's use of the word will invite an argument on why Edwards thought it was okay to hire other women who used the word OFTEN.

Kind of easy of you do your homework!

[gotribe]

Edwards is a cigarette?

[Mr.Unique]

Not to nitpick, but it sounds like she said she wasn't going to call Edwards a "faggot".

She's saying that if she can't use the term, she can't talk about Edwards....who happens to be a fag.

Damn. I really enjoy Ann's writings etc. but lately she's really been going over the top. I saw her on H&C debating with Daryl Hannah about global warming. She may as well been Micheal Savage. Daryl came across so sweet and likable. Sometimes people like Micheal Savage and Ann turn people off of conservatism.

It was a slang for Gays in the 1950's.

Now that's really gay.

[Jo Nuvark]

Good job PD. I had not read what Edward's attack dog bloggers were saying. You've enlightened me. Putting
Coulter back on the pedastal.
