It's probably also because Rush has done his own fair share of making us all temporarily embarrassed to be on the conservative side (his ESPN statement, drug use, and the MJ Fox thing).
Well, if not embarassed, then making us work harder to explain what "he meant." That's exactly what Coulter has done.
No one is trying to expalin away what she said. She knew exactly what she was jolking about. PC and Edwards being a fag.
By "us" I assume you mean you because he has never made me embarrased, temporarily or otherwise, to be on the conservative side.
(1) Coulter did not call Edwards a "faggot"
(2) The MSM is running with this only because Coulter spoke to a conservative audience, which means they can slander all conservatives. Coulter called Gore a "fag" back in July 2006 on "Hardball" and not a peep from the MSM
(3) Coulter was referring to Isiah Washington from "Grey's Anatomy", who said faggot and went into rehab for it. You know, rehab, where drunks and drug addicts go to
Oh! For cryin in the bathtub!!!
You were embarrassed that he said that the sports media falls all over itself over Black QBs?? The truth embarrassed you?? Perhaps you should go over to the censorship side.
Pray for W and Our Troops
He was right on ESPN and he was right about Fox!
As a conservative and a reasonably sane adult, I have not the faintest idea why you would feel compelled to react this way. After Geffen trashed the Clintons, the press turned to Obama for a response. Obama said, "Why should I apologize for something someone else said?" Barak Obama has more maturity than the conservatives who are all wetting themselves over this trivial non-event.
Yea for Ann.
She hit the nail square on. Its time we grew some guts.
Ann for Senator from somewhere!
Speak for yourself.
