Democratic Party boss Howard Dean demanded that Republican presidential candidates denounce conservative columnist Ann Coulter after she referred to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards as a ‘faggot’ during a speech Friday at a national conservative gathering.

Is John Edwards a Normalphobe?.. Surely Giuliani and Al Gore is..

[politicalwit]

Hey, I actually referred to those light in the loafers as "queers" in another thread....damn it felt good.

[skimask]

Well she didn't call him a "Maricon". Ann knows just how to rub the liberals the wrong way. It is so funny to watch them get all undone.

One goal of PC is to make language itself offensive.


If we actually started discussing what it means to be a faggot, then the opposition would have no defense whatsoever.


Their only hope is to make you feel guilty for even using the word.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

Which definition did she mean? I choose "Large faggot worm".

[Digger]

Earth to Howie. You're irrelevant even to your corrupt party.

[Anti-Bubba182]

One thing though! Why insult Edwards? He isn't much of a candidate.

[LibWhacker]

Yeah, how dare that woman not bow at the alter of political correctness that we've so carefully constructed!

[HardStarboard]

Edwards isn't a faggot. Anyone who pays as much attention to their hair as Edwards does is clearly a girl.

[MikeHu]

"I'm sorry Howard Dean was offended."

[sevenbak]

Careful. Mitt has 5 sons and oodles of grandkids.

SAR-CAS-AM! LOL.

Another incident where I forgot the /s tag.

I am pretty tolerant as far as the gay community goes as I am only really opposed to gay marriage and thats about it as far as they go (outside of special "rights). But I regularly use the term "faggot" when joking around with people. It is a word that has come to mean practically nothing outside of a term thrown around by people my age when goofing off or referring to breck girl.

"just because he looks like one doesn't mean he is one."
Your comment should become the text of the asked-for apology, with a few repetitions for emphasis.

[NorCalRepub]

.....alot of FReepers and others thought Ann's comments were crude and tactless.....all it does is take attention away from the candidates and on to her for her self serving ways....she is smart as a whip and very quick but shows poor judgment sometimes.....

[sofaman]

right after he apologizes for saying that Republicans are "a pretty monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party."

And "The Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people"...

And Republicans "never made an honest living in their lives"....

And airing a "theory" that Pres Bush knew about the 9/11 attack coming to America ... and "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for."...

"The idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea that, unfortunately, is just plain wrong."

And "the Republicans are all about suppressing votes."

I have a suggestion for Howard dean...go piss up a rope, Howard.

Hey Howard, how about demanding that Rosie O"Dumbell apologizes for this "Radical Christianity is Just as Threatening as Radical Islam"...these people are such hypocrites...

[hsalaw]

I wondered where Dean has been.

[MikeHu]

I'm sorry you were offended.

[LiteKeeper]

Why should they denounce anything someone else says?

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Sounds like you've been hanging around NORCAL alittle to long.

The Dems are parading she men like Edwards, Dean, Shumer, and the dwarf from SD. They don't threaten women and appeal to the faggot vote.
