It's certainly not that. It's calling time-out upon a clear violation of common decency at a function that supposedly represents ALL Conservatives. Others have also expressed the same reservations of Coulter.
Ann's been getting increasingly caustic in her attacks charged by a vocal segment of her admirers and she's only becoming more effective in branding herself and less likely to attract the desired focus upon her "target". Much like the more liberal Republicans are pushing moderates of the GOP to embrace middle to moderate Democrat party thinking, Ann has been pushing the envelope as to what represents acceptable criticism of others and has little-by-little moved from reasoned debate into outright insult.
I would hope in the future she once again considers returning to engaging in reasonable discourse than simply supplying "air-head" proclamations as she did in her performance at CPAC. I know she's smarter and more capable than that which she demonstrated.
Saying it isn't so doesn't mean it isn't. And it obviously wasn't a violation of 'common decency' to many. Perhaps the PC mindset has something to do with the 'common decency' perspective you have on calling someone a 'faggot.'
"Others have also expressed the same reservations of Coulter. Ann's been getting increasingly caustic in her attacks charged by a vocal segment of her admirers and she's only becoming more effective in branding herself and less likely to attract the desired focus upon her 'target.'"
'Others have also expressed the same reservations' who are either pandering to the MSM or the PC. So only those who appeal to the public should be allowed to speak, or only those who completely target your preferred liberal policies (such as 'tolerance' of homosexuality)?
"Much like the more liberal Republicans are pushing moderates of the GOP to embrace middle to moderate Democrat party thinking, Ann has been pushing the envelope as to what represents acceptable criticism of others and has little-by-little moved from reasoned debate into outright insult."
Ah, but when moderates do it, y'all call it persuasion and call for the unity of the party behind them. When conservatives do it, it's indecent and insulting and you want `em thrown out of CPAC.
"I would hope in the future she once again considers returning to engaging in reasonable discourse than simply supplying 'air-head' proclamations as she did in her performance at CPAC. I know she's smarter and more capable than that which she demonstrated."
Right, she can't imply she'd call Edwards a faggot, but you can imply she's an air-head. I see how the rules work now. /sarc
