Yes, thats what amazes me, something about the CPAC actually was covered!
As I understand, over time the term fag came to overlap with fatigue and referred to the used, damp, limp form of a cigarette. In that case it applies to both Clinton and Edwards.
And from that analogy it came to refer to the effeminate-type of homosexual. Pretty simple, really.
Who cares about the mainstream media? Their hour is about over. V's wife.
Yes, in that rule of public relations Ann's remark is worth billions of free marketing to CPAC, if played right. And playing it right would mean mean not being a fag in response. Actually the Dixie Chicks would be a good example here: "Not Ready to Play Nice"!
Not ridiculous at all. Speakers at CPAC are symbols of who conservatives are. Just a fact.
Ann is much better at framing arguments and going head to head with an oponent live. And she throws in a few cute lines, too.
However, I do like MM a lot and enjoy her work and her blog.
As far as the joke, I believe that Ann owes a big apology to all the homosexual men in this country for comparing John Edwards to them.
Deputy Dawg has been called in on the case from Muskrat patrol. That should get to the bottom of it. She could be in serious trouble.
I got it.
Ann does not say things stupidly, despite the contentions of certain FReepers, and others.
No problem. I'll call John Edwards a faggot, and I'll call him that to him right to his face while looking him in the eye, if I had the chance.
Do you honestly believe that faggot would seriously do anything about it?
This is all about a tempest in a teapot.
Edwards is a chump who because he was able to sway a few other bigger chumps that landed on juries to give millions of dollars to people who came upon tough times is now Presidential material?
I'll take my chances on the Last Day with my transgressions before me way before I'd ever join up with that freaking scumbag on anything.
Scumbag faggot, by the way.
It was very funny and the follow-up even better. Anne continues to prove what she wrote in her last book to be true over and over again.
Ann knew exactly what she was doing and the rinos took the bait.The rinos are so easy.What a bunch of PC Pansies.
Never trust a man who takes more time in front of a mirror than a woman.
To be effective, insults should be based on fact. John Edwards may be a vain metrosexual, but he is apparently not homosexual. Edwards and his wife of 30 years have had four kids. This isn't about "faggots or liberals" limiting anyone's speech. This is about Ann's failure to stick to the truth, so she could retain her credibility and continue to help conservatism.
Ann's comment apparently was provoked by Isaiah Washington's "faggot" reference to his co-star on the TV show "Grey's Anatomy." The co-star is, in fact, gay, but Washington capitulated to the PC hordes, checked himself into rehab, and backpedaled frantically to apologize. Pathetic, but it had nothing to do with Edwards.
Republicans in 2007 have no balls : )
I can agree or disagree with Ann's comments, it was funny.
If reacting to the left's hissy fit is the party line, have at it and have fun.
Anybody who thinks "playing nice" with the enemy is productive, be my guest.
Go Ann!
Or did you already visit?
You can. Do you expect them to invite you to speak at CPAC next year?
Seems to me co-sponsors get to have their say.
All I have to do is remember this
and this
... and I just can't stop laughing.
If you think the crisis is OMG serious, I just feel sorry for you.
Did Ann start running for office or start working for somebody's campaign while I wasn't looking?
