Ann Coulter calls John Edwards "Faggot"

UPI ^

[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.

Bingo!

I prefer "strictly dickly."

Where in that quote did "Ann Coulter call John Edwards a faggot"? I don't see it. She said that it seems you need rehab if you use the word 'faggot'. So she said she could not talk about Edwards. She did not "call" him a faggot.

She jumped the shark. She will have her defenders, but on this one she messed up.

"John Edwards says that he is interested in hearing problems that gays have. You would too if you had eight hairdressers." —Craig Kilborn

These kind of comments are completely unnecessary and make conservatives look like idiots...

No, it makes a lot of posters in this forum look like uneducated morons, idiots and jerks.

Follow the link. The headline is UPI's headline

[spacejunkie]

you know what Roseanne said...

God made fat chicks so gays would have someone to dance with! Now we know where his wife fits in.

LOL

[L98Fiero]

Yeah, those kids of comments are only bad when used by someone without her own TV show.

Do you have to think hard to come up with this crap?

"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..."

Clearly this context does not exclude meanings or intended application of the word to other than Edwards being a "faggot".

The context allows the intent to describe Edwards as walking like, talking like, looking like etc.

As others have said, she did not call him a faggot.

[Mojave]

Yep. The indignation is predictably selective.

"Have you been watching Kerry and Edwards on the campaign trial? These guys have done more hugging in four days than Bill and Hillary have done in 26 years." —Jay Leno

Well put.

Ann Coulter uses the weapons at hand, the weapons used against Conservatives by a 'Satanic' Liberal opposition.

There is no dishonor in using the weapons of war, when the war is a battle to the death. Coulter shows more cojones than many so-called "conservatives". Blasting Coulter for fighting the fight is akin, IMHO, of channeling Nelson Rockefeller.

[auboy]

Maybe Edwards is just channeling a faggot.

Right, what ever happened to "not that there's anything wrong with that"?

And since there apparently IS something wrong with that, Howeird is an idiot for calling even more attention to it.

But this whole question of whether John is or isn't can be settled easily by YouTubing* the "Breck girl's" famous makeup session where he confiscated the hair styling tools from the makeup girl and created his own coiffure.

*surely a classic like this must be on YouTube?

[Jake The Goose]

My opinion - bad comment.

Own it - step and make a nice apology - go over the top.

**All of the usual suspects come out from under their rocks with righteous indignation.

*A number of them on this thread.

Excellent point. A point well taken.

You have to understand Ann. She delights in doing and saying the types of things people in the Democrat party could do with impunity. If Al Sharpton had said something like this about a Republican, the press would be saying that it was news to them and they would look into it.

We should be proud that Ann does what they do. Someone has to point out their hypocrisy.
