Ann Coulter calls John Edwards "Faggot"
UPI ^

Posted on 03/03/2007 5:23:31 AM PST by Billy Jacks blog

Best-selling right-wing author Ann Coulter, speaking to a conservative audience in Washington Friday, called former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., a "faggot."

Coulter was a featured speaker at the 34th annual Conservative Political Action Conference. Following her prepared remarks, televised on C-Span, Coulter was asked to talk about Edwards.

"It turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I'm kind of at an impasse -- I can't really talk about Edwards," she said.

A fundamental rule of logic is one "cannot disprove a negative."

What negative?

I know what it's like when you're expected to produce a particular kind of humor. Jokes have structure. I think the "theory " of this joke was to make two jokes, one about political correctness and the other about whatever it is that leads many of us to think of Edwards as the Breck Girl. So she went with the "if it weren't for political correctness I could say such-and-such about Edwards" but didn't polish it enough. It's a joke that needs work, that's all.

And I get the impression that Ann is quite reasonable about what she does. She aims most of her rounds at the "received" wisdom about us and makes a point of scandalizing the PC wussies. So I think this particular round was, like, in the 7-ring, not the 10-ring, but I'd guess she's not going to let that faze her. And I'm sure not going to let it faze me. It's hard to do what she does as well as she does without a stable of gag-writers backing you up. Even Leno fans out some of the time.

You're probably correct. But the sad point is, she went with the joke before it was "tempered" enough to prevent a backdraft. She's the one who now may have multiple degree burns.

Not productive. Distracts from her message. Makes her sound too much like that Democrat guy Lawyer Phred Phelps.

Ann Coulter calls John Edwards "Faggot" ...not that there's anything wrong with being one, of course. And, yes, I know that isn't what she really said.

LOVE THIS!

Is Ann the only one left in American politics (or commentary) with balls?

I've changed my mind. She didn't screw up. (She came pretty close.)

You got it, and I'm amazed at the number of conservatives who grab their ankles on cue rather than defend one of their own. Ann stands up to these clowns pretty well.

Liberals can dish it out but they can't take it. They have a maze of hypocrisies one must crawl through just to confront them verbally. They always turn it back on the morality of the individual, and to them, morality is allegiance to the politically correct religion. Their morality isn't our morality. Sticks and stone will break your bones. Knock it off libs, and the same to their defenders here.

I agree. She's become infantile and is more of a train wreck than a serious commentator. Any day now I expect her to start her own reality tv-show like Anna Nichole - but not as intelectual and more needy of attention.
