On Ann Coulter - Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic. (conservatives respond)

Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic.

I guess you could say that Ann loves to shock us, but at this point, who’s shocked? She obviously can’t behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. It’s not a lack of intelligence. It’s an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if it’s unflattering.

(For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s audio of her calling John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC today.)

Michelle Malkin -

***4:15pm update***

Ann Coulter just finished her riff on Al Gore, tossed out some cute jokes ("You can understand why Hollywood is concerned about global warming. You know what heat does to plastic."), and ended with a cheap one-liner about John Edwards being a "faggot." (Paraphrasing) She said she would refrain from commenting on Edwards because "if you say faggot, you have to go to rehab."

A smattering of laughter.

Not from this corner.

Crickets chirping.

Bryan Preston of 'Hot Air' -

Ann Coulter is speaking at CPAC as I write. As is typical, she gave a brief speech full of her usual witticisms, including a few brilliant attacks on Al Gore’s green hypocrisy. All was good. Untill the last few seconds, when she launched into a joke about John Edwards.

Here’s what she said.

“I’d say something about John Edwards, but if you say ‘faggot’ you have to go to rehab.”

I’m no fan of John Edwards, but that’s just a stupid joke. It’s over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying.

Last year it was “raghead.” This year it’s calling John Edwards a “faggot.” Two years in a row, Coulter has finished up an otherwise sharp CPAC routine with an obnoxious slur that liberals will fling at conservatives for years to come.

Thanks, Ann.

My comments... what should have been a day to celebrate a Reaganesque speech by Duncan Hunter, and good speeches by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee was overshadowed by an unhinged comment by Ann Coulter. She is an absolute idiot for saying something like this at CPAC.

I figured that Terezzzzah drank so much since she feared Edwards was on the prowl for her JF'nK.

AMEN. If Ann wants to shoot her mouth off and make conservatives look bad, let her do it on one of her book tours.

Correction:

Ann makes RINO's look bad.

Not that they don't do a good job of that themselves.

Just look at this thread.

I do not know if this has been said; but it seems we are more offended by what Ann said the what Bill Mahre said about the assassination attempt on the Vice President.

Where is our demand for an apology, or the DemonRats stating their abhorrence at his remarks? One comment was a joke, the other was treason.

It must be a real hoot for the libs that watch us trash our own. They see smooth sailing in 2008. They could nominate and run Bozo the Clown and it would be a win for them. We always trash our own! Kind of like Hastert sticking up for our new fella on the Homeland Security Committee, William Jefferson, Democrat, LA. What a hoot.

"So Coulter has swelled the ranks and you've done nothing." Uhhhhhhh either you are incapable of reading or you consider typical activist things like doorbelling and writing letters, etc. to be "nothing". Following your preposterous logic, FR should just forbid any criticism of any conservative or republican public figure because most of them, by virtue of their public standing, will have done more than any of us. I don't think there is a person posting in this entire forum who has made more of a personal sacrifice for his country than John McCain (unless we have deceased Freepers who have been KIA.) Does that mean I can't criticize McCain's misguided laws as harmful to the Constitution when he has clearly done more to serve and protect the Constitution than you or I have? Just because someone performs a service doesn't make him above reproach.

"Michael Moore is a pathological liar who hates this country -- who will say anything and do anything to try to bring it down." True.

"If you think he compares to Ann Coulter in any fashion, you are hopeless." Not true. Coulter and Moore are both flame-throwers. Coulter and Moore both attract young people to their sides. Both do it by serving up the "red meat" of personally attacking the other side. Coulter, I'll grant you, is more witty and almost always more honest. And both of them undermine their causes by turning off "undecided" voters and potentially embarrassing the public figures they strive to support.

Welllllll....I wouldn't call her an idiot. She's actually a very smart person. But she certainly doesn't think things through before she speaks. Actually, I imagine she does think about the consequences and just doesn't care.

When conservatives flaunt their lack of character - while at the same time - saying that the whole country should listen to them and adhere to their principles - the conservatives will not be listened to.

Is that why the foul-mouthed, mean-spirited, haters called democrats won the 2006 election?

Lower taxes are the key moral issue of our time.

"Making nice does nothing to get any gop candidate ahead. Make it mean, make em scream and then trash em again when they respond."

Actually, I disagree. Look at the Wellstone fiasco of 2002. Americans were horrified by that shameful display and the democrats lost big time. And again in 2004, when Michael Moore and Moveon.org went into their hateful diatribes equating Bush with Hitler, again the voters were repulsed. Bush didn't need to respond in kind. He stayed above the fray. People could clearly see who the bad guys were and who the good guy was. Remember when Tom Daschle had to run away from any link to Michael Moore. He was accused of hugging Moore at the screening of his crockumentary and he tried to distance himself. But the damage was done and he lost.

Ann Coulter: the master of nuanced hyperbole.

As nuanced as a buffalo fart.

Exactly, and I don't think she meant to imply that, or that was not her main point.

IMO she was going after the librats on their 'PC gambit' against Repubs and how the librats are never called out on it.

I mean there is not much they cant say, and we are just supposed to stand there and take it like an ass in the rain.

Excellent Observation.

However, Edwards is a loser but in some ways the longer he stays in the better as he pulls votes away from Hillary.
