What you are doing is called "spin".. i.e., BS.. (that's an acronym for the "real" words..)
She may have done it in a roundabout way, but she definitely called him a faggot..
I would not have done so in her place, but I'm not surprised that she did so..
It is her style of speaking, which is very blunt, "in-your-face", and aggressive..
She can justify it as a direct response to leftist speakers / celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell, Margaret Cho, Cindy Sheehan, etc..
I'm not saying whether she was right or wrong in doing it, as I'm sure she's a "big girl" and can make her own choices in life, speechmaking, commentary, etc..
But, Please, don't spin it...
She wrote that speech and knew every word in it before she ever stepped up to the podium..
She said it, she meant it, and I will wager that she Da*n Well will not apologize for it..
You speak as though you know Ann. You sound more like Bill O'Reilly, he always knows everyones intent. I just think that MO was the point she was making. It isn't spin, if that was her intent. It just seems to be Ann's style. A joke on this whole rehab answer for speaking what you may think. Maybe we should all go to rehab. /s
Besides, Edwards does come off a bit Faggy-like. heh
It's still funnier than Kerry's 'stay in school so you won't be dumb and get sent to Iraq'.
Meanwhile, a prominent leftist TV personality is remorseful because the Vice President wasn't killed.
Bill Maher Sorry the Assassination Attempt on Dick Cheney Failed
I don't hear any call for the Democrats to renounce this private citizen, even though he has a much larger bully pulpit than Ann.
Isaiah Washington, I think. He's on a show called "Grey's Anatomy". I don't watch the show, but this story was all over the news a few weeks ago.
Go Ann! Freedom of speech is the point. Listen to the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the left (and the RINOs) - it's a beautiful noise to behold.
Where have all these outraged people been when Ann Coulter has been called horrible names, even attacked physically.
There is a talk-show host, Miller somebody, who loses it at the very mention of her and Bill O'Reilly and makes vicious, false, and stupid statements to about them.
The left is afraid of Ann Coulter, fearing among other things, that she might reverse PC, fearing her ideas. If she were not influential, they would not bother.
In the rhetorical war of words which the left has been winning for years we at last have a few generals willing to take the fight to them. Lead on Ann and Rush we love and support you.
zbigreddogz - "For example, if I were like Coulter, I'd denounce her because she's a 'Whore',"
OK, dipstick - the only way you didn't call Coulter a whore in this sentence is if your single-quoted 'Whore' is a euphemism for something else.
I believe that we should institute a rule prohibiting semi-literates from attacking Ann Coulter on the grounds that they're incapable of comprehending her thought.
It's kind of like the scene in 2001 - A Space Odyssey
zbigreddogz is jumping around with his club, bashing everything Ann in sight and beating on his furry ape chest. How impressive.
Uh, yes it is "caving". You "cave" just like George Allen, and then you are forvever apoligizing for doing nothing wrong.
Sorry, Jennifer Rubin offers nothing in regards to good campaign advice.
Yes, it must be noted that God has much worse things to say about homosexuals than Ann Coulter does.
The absence of scorn and ridicule on the right is part of the pious conservative persona that is "above it all" and turning the other cheek.
You're absolutely right. The "church lady" is their favorite target. It's too easy. But Coulter is an entirely different matter. That's why they go ballistic at the mere mention of her name.
>who ya gonna call when ya wanna bust a liberal?

Add this girl to the list of humorless boring writers. Poor girl has the vapors over the truth. Perhaps she can list all the unacceptable words we can't use so the Libs will like us?
Pray for W and Our Troops
If they can live with that so can I. My constitutional right as citizen let's me continue to call them Faggots. Right?
