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.)

***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.

"Not me!! Or you, but it has been apparent for some time, that FR has been infiltrated, much as the GOP has."

Perhaps so.

But it has definitely been taken over much like the phone lines to C-SPAN have been for so long now.

(Probably by many of the same people.)

It's a sad thing for those of us who remember an earlier time, both for FR and C-SPAN.

My problem with what Ann said is that it wasn't funny.

And since this is all about YOU, that should be the end of the thread...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I'll never bow to the PC crowd. The most poisonous, anti-american movement since the, well, since liberals.

[gidget7]

Oh please Sansung. Whine elsewhere to someone else.

I don't want "hurting someones feelings" to be legislated. And that is where PC is going. Toughen up for heaven sake. If someone cannot deal with getting their feelings hurt from time to time, how in the name of God are they going to handle serious problems in life, that happen to all of us at times in our lives. Getting your feelings hurt happens, daily for most of us. You handle it, laugh it off and move on. But then most of us are not all consumed about what other people think, we are more concerned about being decent people ourselves and liking ourselves at the end of the day, NOT with what other people say about us.

[gidget7]

Agreed

[pissant]

Whose doing damage control? If Annie responds to Howard Dean, it won't be an apology.

[agincourt1415]

Re: Picture of Ann at the Range.

9mm Beretta, and I bet Annie could hit a pie plate at 100 yards with that.

[Sam Hill]

"Now here we are wasting time doing damage control when there are much more important issues to talk about and that sucks."

Ah so, you are doing damage control.

Well, I don't think you are helping.

Perhaps you should go off and do all those other important things.

Get back to telling people how Duncan Hunter will win California -- and important things like that.

[HEY4QDEMS]

It's a sad thing for those of us who remember an earlier time, both for FR...

You've only been here a year and a half.

[gidget7]

Me either, my tagline used to be "PC is the huge rock, behind which lies hide" It is as true now as it was then.

[ajolympian2004]

Call the Duncan Hunter campaign HQTRs and repeat the comment you made a few posts ago. I dare you to do it. They'll hang the phone up on you.

[BigSkyFreeper]

A retread.

"BigSkyFreeper" is a regular attack dog on any Coulter thread.

Gonna cry?

[dforest]

This can be fixed for Ann. Edwards is a pathetic, effeminate ambulance chasing ass. He deserves what he gets.

Reason being? If you remember the VP debate in 2004, he, just like Jon Cary, could not wait to point out in the debate that Cheney's daughter was gay. The libs roll around in the dirt and the only people who get dirty are Republicans. Perhaps we are perceived as weiners.

[Sam Hill]

Sorry, I didn't mean to expose you as the Coulter stalker you are.

But facts are stubborn things.

[Clara Lou]

I suggest Logic for Dummies...
We agree. People who cry about loss of "free speech" simply because people disagree with the content of that free speech need help. Thanks for point that out.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Not trying to question your intelligence but when I wrote "we" as in "Now here we are..", I meant the Republican Party, not FR. I guess I should have dumbed it down a little.

Don't be surprised if Hunter does win California, although if he does, I'll be sure to give some of the credit to Ann.

Cry me a river.
