In Support of Ann Coulter

Kristinn, your hard work in the name of patriotism can hardly be matched by any other freeper.....that said....my point in criticizing Ann was where she chose to make her remark.

I'm sure you know that Ann and Drudge are very good friends and last night Drudge as well felt that Ann would have been better off not using CPAC to make her comments.

Most of us expect hyperbole from Ann and are hardly shocked, but that conference was meant to showcase our Presidential nominees. She forced them into an uncomfortable place.

Ann is a performance artist, and her show is about how little we are allowed to say compared to how much the Left can say.

This week, the show is getting a lot of help from conservatives, who stupidly think that shutting her up will help their image with people who think nothing of wishing the VP dead.

It's foolishness. Ann will shut up when THEY shut up, and until then, I won't criticize her.

Thanks for posting this! Republicans attacking Ann Coulter!! If only they could show the same courage(?) when when it comes to defeating the left in this country. If the liberals weren't being offended over this comment, they would be just as offended over something else.

Liberals come along with their phony manufactured outrage and Rudy McRomney and a whole host of others immediately crap their pants. Real courage! They need to take a lesson from Ann and learn how to fight back! Go ANN!!

[Poser]

Ditto on the Hear Hear. Ann was right. People just can't stand the unvarnished truth.

Thank you, Kristinn.

It's nice to know others remember what Ann has done for our side over the years. She has done more for conservatives than many "conservative" politicians, IMO.

The popular attack around here that Ann only cares about herself, making money, and selling her books is worthy of being spewed by the moonbats - who are known to screech same.

[whatisthetruth]

you will be sent to rehab for your failure to conform to PC group think.

The liberal outrage is not so much that she used the word "faggot" but by doing so she would dare defy them and unapologetically venture into their 'politically incorrect' minefields that most others fear to tread. I guess it's gonna take a woman to take back the Party from the pansies.

I worry about those candidates. Just showing up at CPAC does not make them Conservative candidates of principle. I get a feeling lately around here that there are some trying to change conservatism into something it is not. A kind of "you will have to change your principles to beat Hillary". I see it that we need someone who we can embrace as a good candidate and then we can unite to kick some butt in the elections. It isn't going to happen if the Pubbies do not care about the conservative voters.

Good post!

[MBB1984]

So true!

[DejaJude]

Most of us expect hyperbole from Ann and are hardly shocked, but that conference was meant to showcase our Presidential nominees. She forced them into an uncomfortable place.

And this is why they are distancing themselves. They might have to take a position and risk rehab. Sigh, no heroes here.

[CatQuilt]

I love your screen name, your tagline and your comment...not necessarily in that order.

[Long Island Pete]

I love Ann but sometimes she tends to speak befor she thinks. I guess thats because she likes to hang out with Bill Maher.

[upsdriver]

"... but I sometimes think she goes too far."

Who gets to decide what's too far?

[upsdriver]

"What hypocrites the stupid liberals are."

The stupid ones are those who kowtow to liberals expecting to curry favor with them. Will they ever learn? How did it go for Trent Lott? Bet they love him after apologizing umpteen times!

We know how liberals will react. Our side needs to learn to tell them to shove it!

[TC Rider]

Does everyone understand that the joke played off the furor of the 'Gray's Anatomy' show? An actor on the show used the term and was sent to rehab.

[JRochelle]

I am suprised that people can't see how what she said was vulgar and inapporiate.

Ann did exactly what Whoopi Goldberg did at a Kerry fundraiser in 04.

I had no idea that so many freepers were defending Whoopi back then.

[Princip. Conservative]

While I really don't have a problem with the word 'faggot', I think that Ann Coulter needs to be realistic in the modern world of what sort of reaction you're going to get talking like that. Is Edwards a faggot? Quite possibly, I don't know. But it really isn't such a good idea talking like that in public, because it drags conservatives down to the liberal level of name-calling.

By the same token, I have NO RESPECT for 'faggots' or their equivalents.

--AND THIS IS WHAT THEY (LIBS) WRITE ABOUT HER

[PFC]

Let's not make a martyr out of the narcissistic woman. She knew what she was doing - she was saying something outrageous to make sure she got publicity. No one would have mentionned her speach if she had not. And the poor darling needs controvery and media coverage to sustain herself. She joined the ranks of celebtantes like Brittney Spears, Anna Nichole and Paris Hilton - they don't care what people are saying as long as people are talking about them.

p The fact that the negative publicity might hurt conservative causes is immaterial.

[radar101]

May I inquire as to whether there's room at the Inn? After careful consideration I find I'm in need of rehab too. Or maybe I only need find a dancing instructor who can lead me through the intricate steps of dancing on eggshells as it appears that's the only dance conservatives are allowed.

Hey! I Like YOU. This should be a program for Recovering Politicians.
