One of the problems is that we live in a Kevin Bacon world where anyone can be connect to anyone else. Ann's comments can get connected to CPAC where one of these candidates appears to speak. Toss in the idea that Candidate A "must be endorsing Ann's comments because he spoke in front of the same group that allowed Ann to get on stage and call someone a "faggot". He must think the same thing!!!!!" and you get a real cluster-frack going.

Think that's too far out there? Unfortunately it's not these days.

Maybe not saying anything would have worked better. Well, some candidates have said something, some have not. It will be interesting to see who made the right call.

IT will have NO effect at all. Don't forget the elections are over 16 months ahead of us. There will be many remarks made by many on both sides. Ann may be a bold, brazen little conservative hussy, but she has guts. Maybe some of our candidates will get some! What Ann says will stick to conservatives in a positive way. We need to stop acting like PC Rats, and acting like we have to embrace the RAT standards allowed for conservatives. The RATs who say things much worse than any conservative anywhere has ever said.

Ya know - Ann didn't call anyone a fagot. She said something to effect to the effect of "I'd like to talk about Edwards, but using the word fagot means you have to into rehab..."
As for the others, blacks call each other nigger; it shouldn't be forbidden just for whites (though a healthy survival instinct might argue against it...).
I don't think Hillary has a "c*nt". I think she pees standing up... She certainly has more balls than most 'Pubbies.

I think its a pity the way 'Pubbies react to this stuff. They destroyed Trent Lott for daring to complement a hundred year old Strom Thurmond at his birthday party. No they respond this way to Ann Coulter. If a Democrat use a slur, the other Democrats lock ranks around him... 'Pubbies throw their own to the wolves. Makes me wonder why they're worth voting for.

I don't want rain all over you little fantasy, but Ann didn't "call Edwards a faggot".

YOU did, because you wanted it to be true.
