Foul whisperings are abroad: unnatural deeds
Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets

IMO there are two reasons the libs are having fainting spells over this single comment. First its too close to the truth and that scares them. Second, it challenges the PC mantra in a public way.
They use the word faggot on a routine and almost daily basis and its considered hip.
Ann's fun to watch as she's not afraid to tackle anything and smart enough to get the best of em.
How bout this one? "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
That's it!! Thanks, whatisthetruth!
I have distanced myself from those three spineless RINO wimps McCain, Romney and Rudy.
I would hate to see one of those three represent the Republican party as a candidate for president.
Warren is a Muslim, what did you expect? He's absolutely disgusting, but all of YT is like that now. Just the world's losers looking at themselves on the Internet. You are right though, the kids are so stupid and they just suck this garbage right up.
Well said, Kristinn, thank you. I appreciate Ann's clever use of the First Amendment and have seen, all over the web, folks detailing very hideous fantasies of the assaults they would like to inflict upon this woman. I have also been pleased to see other folks (on pop-culture threads, where libspeak is the order of the day) break the PC chorus of 2 minutes' hate to point out that these hateful reactions merely prove Coulter's point. Among other things, it's a perfect example of the hypocritical, condescending and hateful ugly ignorance infesting our culture, where apparently it's okay to be a beautiful coke-head superthin blonde ho but not okay to be a beautiful, educated, politically opinionated superthin champion of conservative values (not to mention the 2nd Amendment).
It's almost like Ann insulted el prophet falso or something; given this "off with her head!" reaction. Wow.
I agree with you; I was very disappointed in Ann Coulter's reference to Harriet Miers as the "cleaning lady," and this latest comment seems to me to be on the same lines-- for shock value alone. I think sometimes sge tries a bit too hard. Her comment, though, hardly deserves the stop-the-presses treatement it is receiving. As another poster pointed out (in a great observation) it is as nothing compared to Edwards' bloggers.
Most liberals don't.
What the hell is wrong with you? Jackass.
And what is happening to Free Republic lately?
Ann was only trying to make a wry commentary on the fact that we now have a new "N" word equivalent, The "F" word.
The problem is, she USED the actual word. Now, predictably, a lot of people are apoplectic about it.
I believe that the only way for Ann to salvage her carreer is to go into rehab ASAP. She should also publicly apologize and say something to the effect.
I regret using the "F" word in reference to John Edwards. I did not mean to imply that he is a practicing homosexual. That isn't me, I'm not the kind of person to say that sort of thing.
What I meant is that the Breck girl is an effeminant, nellie, and swishy man.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
But it is o.k. to have a presidential candidate in that same venue who dresses up like a girl and lived with two homosexuals???
(I disagree with Ann on the Harriet Miers thing... it was more like playing a game of "Old Maid.")
It would be different if a racist word had been used. But "faggot" is a derogatory term for one who practices fudge-packing with same-sex pervs. It's not a race, creed, religion, color, etc. It's a nasty, anti-natural type of (mis)BEHAVIOR. And it should be criticized, at every level, and not held to some standard that elevates it above deviancy. And John Edwards certainly comes across as a faggot. If he's straight, I'd be shocked to learn it.
Not this freeper. We need Ann to bluntly and clearly say the things that need to be said. I'm not going to bash her, she gets enough of that from the other side.
