Because the only thing that the Repubs far too often elegant responses to the Dem smear machine have won them, is hollow praise from the MSM and some Dems for having stayed "above the fray".
And that, both the MSM and Dems can shove where the sun don't shine!
So good for Ann! Cus' it's about damn time somebody started going for their throat!
In fact, "faggot" is an inelegant and crude term. I believe most conseravtives would agree that it is poor form to use it gratuitously and personally, as in saying that someone--Edwards--is a faggot.
But Ann didn't call Edwards a "faggot." She implied that his manner is prissy and effeminate, which is exactly the point that other commentators have made when they have called him a "silky pony" or a "Breck girl." And she suggested that certain terms come to mind, such as "faggot", but that it would not only be inappropriate to use the word in a gratuitous and personal sense to characterize Edwards, it would be heinous crime in PC terms to so employ it.
She was right on both counts. Without ever calling Edwards a "faggot" she made a trenchant and precise comment about the the decaying environment of political correctness in which we all been forced to live by liberals.
