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, 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.

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

The First Article of the Bill of Rights states: "The right of Free Speech shall not be infringed".Doesn't anyone know what "infringed" means, anymore?

Maybe she planned to say "baloney-smoker," but decided that "faggot" was more PC.

If Edwards had a military background, he might be a "rear admiral" or a "tail gunner." LOL.

Hey, Joe Solomnese, ever heard of the freedom of expression? You must be a "Liberal", an even more disgusting word from the English language.
