From john edwards campaign website -

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?

Friday afternoon, Republican mouthpiece Ann Coulter brought hate-speech politics to a new low.

Ann Coulter has no capacity whatsoever as a representative of the GOP, or conservatives for that matter.

people say that the "dinosaur media" is dying, but it's quite alive.

witness my neighbors who sit on their butts all day, eating, and watching tv and they believe everything they see on the stupid box.

and, they're ANGRY!

my neighbor went off on me last night about the iraq war.

yes, thanks to the incompetence of rumsfeld and bush and cheney the next u.s. president will be a democrap.

[HEY4QDEMS]

I agree, Coulter stepped over the line.

It's important that Republicans and conservatives send a message that we are not a party of hate.

She has no idea how much damage she has caused with her stupid remarks.

[rickdylan]

Ann tells it like it is. Old testament prophets were hated for the same reason.

C'mon - one of the meanings of "faggot" in English usage refers to an effeminate man. The Democratic Party is full of Breck Girls who pretend to be men. As a joke, it leaves something to be desired but Ann Coulter is right John Edwards is a phony. You won't see the Democrats check into rehab anytime soon for not figuring out how to be real men. Even conservatives don't get it and I'm disappointed in them.

Ok - we've all piled on - that's enough.

Name-calling is petty, self-indulgent, counter-productive. I should know--I've done it. It's a loser.

I used to like her. Now it seems she just wants to shock. But I think the Edwards campaign is going a touch overboard. Liberals say some pretty nasty things as well, on his own site at times.

I really hate what politics has come to. It is not even close to being about the people now.

[MaestroLC]

Thank you, Ann!! I love you!

Read the quote again and place into context. People hear what they want to hear, especially the propaganda media and Dems. It's brilliant.

People are afraid of words. They fear words. Pathetic. This is the perfect example of the evil of political correctness. Ann scored a grand slam, and many don't even realize it.

[flynmudd]

I'm tired of the 2008 election already. I'm going to tune out until it matters. Election fatigue.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

I don't think Ann was trying to make a joke - I think she is attacking political correctness.

[MadIvan]

This is not the first time that Ann has said something "edgy". I think that the candidates need to distance themselves from her remarks, as does the GOP - however, this does not need to be turned into a round of self-flaggelation. This could lead to it being blown up into a much larger incident.

What is regrettable about this, having thought about it - is that Edwards was on the ropes because of having hired anti-Catholic bloggers - this just injected some life into his listless campaign.

Regards, Ivan

This is what Ann really said:

http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Ann_Coulter_calls_John_Edwards_faggot/20070302-105935-6328r/

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.


"Rehab" may have been a reference to "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington's decision to go into rehab during a public relations firestorm after he called one of his co-stars a "faggot."

That's what UPI and other Libnuts want people to believe. They twist the truth to support their agenda.

Hardly a new low. While Ann may have crossed the line, Mother Sheehan called Bush the "worst terrorist in the world" recently.

[snowman1]

Why the HELL does Edwards need $100,000 or someone else's money if he can build that huge house he can afford $100,000 of his own money. This just a stupid effort to get money for his campaign. But I agree it was quite below the belt for Ann to say this.

[Jeffrey_D.]

It would have been much better if she inferred that he was a Nazi or Hitler.....that's been given a pass!

Here's my very similar post/thread, that was posted last night. Blogosphere Is Quick to Criticize Ann Coulter (Use of a Certain 'F' Word at CPAC)

[HEY4QDEMS]

Ann tells it like it is.

Unfortunately I agree, her true colors were showing. A hateful cancer that the party should disassociate from.
