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.

37 posts and no pictures. You guys are slipping, badly. I have never seen such a blatant disregard of the rules in my life. Off to your rooms now!!
I just wish someone would post a pic of Russell Crowe on these threads for the ladies...just for balance. :)
Well, it's not like she's making it easy or anything. /s
LMAO!!!! Thankfully I wasn't sipping my coffee when I clicked on the post. :)
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
Ann...... you're priceless and definitely my kind of woman. You are a thinker and can think on your feet when confronted! Who could ask for anything more!!! I don't care what anyone else says about you......... you've got it.
This is to what she was referring--

'Grey's' star in counseling for gay slur
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Actor Isaiah Washington has entered a treatment program as part of an effort to atone for a gay slur against a "Grey's Anatomy" co-star in Hollywood.
"With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling," the actor said in a statement Wednesday. "I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again."
Washington reportedly agreed to undergo a psychological assessment following discussions with ABC executives about his denial at the Golden Globe awards that he had called co-star T.R. Knight a "faggot," Eonline.com said.
"Grey's" creator Shonda Rhimes said in a statement that Washington's use of "such a disturbing word" insulted gays and lesbians and "anyone who has ever struggled for respect in a world that is not always accepting of difference."
Washington publicly apologized, saying he could he could no longer deny that he had issues he needed to face.
His decision to enter treatment may directly relate to his future on "Grey's Anatomy," Eonline.com said. The Walt Disney Co., ABC's parent company, has a corporate nondiscrimination policy that could provide for dismissing the actor from the show, Eonline.com said.
Bad manners is part of the problem we should be trying to remedy rather than encourage.
She actually does not know whether Edwards is a homosexual. All she knows is her own need to feed her image as an iconoclast and the needs of those who only feel whole when they are demeaning others for real or imaginary sins.
Can you imagine President Ronald Reagan making a similar public statement? That should be the test for cheap shots.

Friday afternoon, Republican mouthpiece Ann Coulter brought hate-speech politics to a new low.
This video shows Coulter addressing the American Conservative Union's Political Action Conference, March, 2, 2007 in Washington, D.C.
We must show that inflaming prejudice to attack progressive leaders will only backfire.
Can you help us raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry?

I'm Glad to see other conservatives stepping up to the plate to rightfully criticize Coulter's unhinged comment.

Ann calls them as she sees them.
So you are saying that John O'Neill "Swift Boated" Kerry, and now Ann has "Good Ship Lolipopped" Edwards???

ABC, Washington apologize for slur (Grey's Anatomy, Isaiah Washington, T.R. Knight, Golden Globes)
I'm so offended, NOT!!!
Wow - two great thoughts in one post!
I prefer straight and proud.
A brief tour of DU will show that Ann's indirect slur is parliamentary, tea-time language compared to the daily fare of the Rat foot soldiers.
Can we get real here? They put up a rapist for President, and the nation went for it. Teddy the Hutt is a murderer, serial adulterer, alcohol abuser, avoirdupois-challenged psychopath, and they lionize him. Al Gore is selling global warming snake oil while paying himself for carbon indulgences and pardon, and DUmmies profess their love for him. Jean Francois Kerry takes a film-crew with him to glamorize his own personal heroism while betraying the rest of our troops in Viet Nam and then uses a Senate hearing to make an opposing political operative squirm, and the Dims think he's the bomb.
And while they worship and adore these poor disordered personalities, they are calling US not only stupid and thoughtless but evil and racist.
I wish she hadn't done it, as I say, but I have no trouble lining up on her side and saying that compared to Dumbocrat discourse Ann is an Emily Post redivivus.
Cute too.
