Ann Coulter fired back at critics who demanded the conservative columnist apologize for comments she made during a speech in which she referred to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards as a "faggot."
"'Faggot isn't offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said on "Hannity and Colmes" Monday night. "It's a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss,' and unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."

Maybe John Edwards could play the part of the Faggot on the left.
There are quite a few feminine acting married men who are straight but you'd swear they are gay.
How about that Saudi Spokesperson for starters
And... (I could be reaching with this one) is Richard Simmons married to a woman?
Who cares what gays think? They are 2% of the population, maybe. Queer men think it's OK to stick their parts in to another guys bum then put it in their mouth. That means they eat poop. If they don't think that's offensive do you really think they are focused on the word faggot? Again, not that I care anyway.
Ann is a good looking female, queer guy faggots are, well, queer guy faggots. Duh! Ever seen the video of Edwards preening for the camera. That's gay!
Have a few minutes to waste?

"Whatever you think of her original comment, that explanation is unbelievably disingenuous. She must think people are flaming idiots or something"
...I couldn't disagree more. The term "faggot" is a guy to guy term that means "wuss", "pansy", "dork". And if you think that she owes anyone an apology after what the media has done to conservatives over the years than you too are part of the problem. Dems don't play fair and never will. I say, the more negative terminology the better. They threw Oreo's at Michael Steele in Md. Could that be countered by calling Jesse and Al "niggers"? I see justice and a willingness to fight back on their territory. Ann Coulter seems to be alone in her fight.
What Edwards' bloggers wrote was far worse. What Ann has been falsely been accused of has been far worse. One can disagree with her, but the reaction to this is over the top censorship.
Dude...Richard Simmons IS a woman.
I, for one, think he's at least half-fag.
I think the main thing she did with her comment was smoke out the three top GOP contenders and complete wusses. If they can't stand up for themselves against media attacks based on what someone else said, how will they fair down the road when they make their own gaffs?
They should have taken a page from Obama's playbook.
She really called out our guys, and they sure needed it.
If their response is any indication of their skill in the political arena, we could be in trouble. Obama proved himself way smarter than all three of them.
Load em' up Annie , Fire!
I live in the ciy and hear the word all the time used by schoolkids. It is not a throw-down word which causes spontaneous violence. Used by both girls and boys, it is a simple chide when a deviation from the orthodox attitude of the groupthink. Utter an appreciation for your history teacher and it solicits a nearly automatic response, "You are such a faggot." Parents won't let you go to the mall on Saturday? "What a fag, you gotta be there!"
Nine out of ten such usages, probably, are not a genuine comment on one's sexuality. It is simply part of the modern day lexicon of tweens and older.
"fag_train_going_to_fag_town_filled_with_faggots"
I am not kidding.
Who cares what the liberals say, I'd still work 80 hours a week at my utility meter-reading job for Ann
I can't wait until Ann reveals that there's a bunch of faggots on FR as well...apologetic run and hide wusses...
I thought her first comment was funny as did the audience at Cpac, and her explanation was an obvious attempt to play funny with the reaction(s) from Howie Dean and others.
I love Ann.
Rudy looks more like an Oompa Loompa in that pic.
