[CzarNicky]

so comparing Edwards to gays is a slur?

[stockpirate]

GIVE EM HELL ANN!

[pissant]

The best part is she gave so many PC conservatives the vapors. Well done Annie.

[presently no screen name]

Someone gets it! PC be damned!

[flynmudd]

Amen! I will put forth a challenge to everyone on this forum to not use PC speak for the rest of their lives. Who's up to the challenge? Or are all you too scared to speak your mind? They want us to eat our own.

[garbanzo]

Let's see...she's already used "raghead" and "faggot"...I'm opening the betting pool on when she uses the n-word and attempts to pass it off as a statement on political correctness.

[Kolb]

Hehehehehe Too close to the truth John?

[Clara Lou]

I think faaar more is lost than is gained from Ann's remarks, but--heh heh heh-- John Edwards has been IDed as a faggot to a national audience, and there's nothing he can do but pretend righteous indignation. He must be squirming. LOL!! Couldn't happen to a nastier greaseball.

[stockpirate]

Edwards should be happy, it gets him the faggot vote!

[icwhatudo]

We should be able to say *(*&)^*^*

I glad people are brave to say *(*^_(*^*^

No one should ever be afriad to say (*_*(&_&_

And here, let me clear on my website, that I am not afriad to say *&^)&*^)&)

Anyoine else pic that up?

[PFC]

She is not being "fearless". She is being "childish". Children call each other nasty words for shock value and to get attention. That's Ann.

Adults criticize people's positions and record rather than name-calling.

[DTogo]

The Far Left calling Bush "Hitler" or a "terrorist," or making a movie about his assassination is freedom of speech.

But Ann calling The Breck Girl a faggot is a slur...

[Lorianne]

It's heating up for 2008. It'll be a contest between the far left and the far right flame throwers over which can send more voters into the opposing camp. Dissuasion over persuasion.

Just like 2004 ... only, I predict, fierier ... Flame retardant suits will become de riguer.

Lowest common denominator, surely. But that's how our political discourse has be devolving for years. Style over substance uber alles.

Why we're so coy about this NOW is puzzling. I guess coy is cute and has become it's own stylistic gesture.

Meanwhile, others (eg Newt Gingrich) are trying a different tac but are getting virtually no buzz in the media.

I wish I had the lyrics of Oscar Brand's "Four Letter Words".
He basically uses words that sound nicer than the real word.
"Paraphrased"
You can say powder room, number two, losing a load but you can't use the simple word taking a "pause" Four letter words, four letter words they never say what they mean.

[cincinnati65]

I'VE DONE IT!!! I'VE DONE IT!!!

I finally figured out how to get Ann out of this mess once and for all!!!!

Ann, I hereby issue you 25,000 Politically Correct credits for your use. For every time you say something decidedly inpolitically correct, I will abstain from repeating your phrase to others and will otherwise refrain from making a similar comment, thereby negating the negative impact of your lack of political correctness. I'm honored to provide this service to you to counter those mean-spirited media types that just don't understand the big picture.

Use your credits wisely!

The Feminist cause suffers a set back each time a another word is declared to be the "most vile" in the English language.

[blowfish]

Thank goodness! I can sleep soundly knowing that Miss Coulter is out there calling people names.

[citizencon]

Edwards had implied that childish behaviour is 'hateful'. That's a slur against children! Senator, do you hate children?!
