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.

At least Ann wasn't niggardly with her comments

Remember the trouble some guy got in with that word because PC idiots were too stupid to know the definition of that term?

Niggardly isn't even derived from the word the [n word] is derived from.

she only cares about selling her next book. so she uses this forum at the conference to make some remark so she gets some "buzz" - she doesn't care if it puts the event in a bad light, she only cares about herself.

[Darksheare]

She doesn't HAVE to call him a faggot, she can say he's a wussified metrosexual wannabe girlboy.

In England a faggot was a small bundle of kindling sticks and straws

Over time it became a name for cigarettes.

then:

One does the same thing to cigarettes that homosexuals do to each other.

Ergo: Faggot

gay credits ? how about gay indulgences?

[msnimje]

The MSM is just flat out stupid. They are all saying "Edwards" and "GAY" or "FAGGOT" just like Ann wanted them to do.

[presently no screen name]

What one thinks in private, Ann says in public. Who is the honest one? IMO, Ann doesn't do say things for attention. And the reaction is so hypocritical. The Human Rights uses the 'Founding Fathers' in his commentary? They should be more concerned about abortions and not Ann exercising her right to free speech. They can burn a flag but Ann can't say 'faggot'? So always 'outs' their hypocrisy.

MSM distortions, lying, vacant promises, voter fraud and the need to reinvent oneself to deceive the public in order to get one's vote should get the critical eye, not Ann.

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

Quite the opposite.

[RaceBannon]

that's a new one!

[elhombrelibre]

I'm sure Ann anticipates the counterattacks and has a similar reply ready.

[Retired Chemist]

I think 'Breck Girl' describes Edwards adequately.

[Wormwood]

No offense, but I departed the Coulter Hype Train a few years ago.

She's a pathetic attention whore, and she sure as hell doesn't speak for me any more.

[umgud]

Yo Ann, I'll make you a deal.

I won't call John Kerry a hero if you don't call Edwards a fag.

[Continental Soldier]

Thanks for the pic. My kinda gal! :)

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

LOL----now that's funny. Would look great on a tee shirt. Thanks for that.

[lugsoul]

No, it doesn't say that. Read it again.

And pay special attention to the part about who is constrained.

[presently no screen name]

she sure as hell doesn't speak for me any more.

Not to worry. I highly doubt she thinks about you when she speaks. She isn't a people pleaser - those that have a NEED to be liked.

[dalereed]

Good for her!!!!

[Liz]

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

Amd Eddie always goes to restaurants with "free parking in the rear."

[Wormwood]

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

LOL!

I've repeatedly outed myself as a social liberal on a conservative forum, What the hell makes you thing I NEED to be liked?
