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."

yeah, pretty limp-wristed response, I must agree.
I beg to disagree...that's how I took it from the START.
Actually she's right, faggot isnt offensive to gays. They use it all the time. Heck even Edwards bloggers have used it.
I love it!
Ann is best when she's using liberals own tactics against them!
By "flaming idiots" do you imply all idiots are gay or that gays are idiots? Gosh...I guess now even you owe gays an apology.
Well! He is a wuss.
We have a botched joke of our own. I agree with her that speech totalitarianism exists and that it is illegitimate. But, my goodness, did she have to take a page from the John Kerry book of joke-telling?!
What is it about "effeminate male" you don't understand?
Wasn't that a character Dana Carvey played on SNL, "The Effeminate Heterosexual."
Umm... No.
I meant that she must have a very low opinion of nearly everyone to try and sell the "'Faggot' isn't offensive to gays" line. That's so blatantly, obviously false as to be offensive to the intelligence of the reader.
Most people have a very good understanding of the meaning of the word. It's a spit in the face to claim otherwise.
She should have said his pretty hair looked like it belongs on an ambulance chasing scumbag lawyer.
"She must think people are flaming idiots or something...."
YEP
"Coulter didn't spare the GOP hopefuls, either.
-Apparently our top three Republican nominees aren't that smart," Coulter said. "And by the way, if they're going to start apologizing for everything I say, they better keep that statement handy cause there's going to be a lot more in the next year."
It simply amazes me the number of people who sided with the MSM, in particular HERE, jumping on her case.
Perhaps YOU could do a better job at political commentary...???
Get a column.
Write a book.
Get out on the lecture circuit.
Better yet,
RUN FOR OFFICE.
What did you expect? Coulter is a media and money whore.
"flaming idiots"
Flaming faggot?
I am thinking of a joke book...
Bad Political Jokes
Earl Butz's joke that got him fired.
The 'joke' about "a black, two women, and a cripple" from Reagan's former Interior secty Watt.
Kerry's 'joke'.
You're nuts.
I can't believe that a single one of us believes that Edwards is homo, but we all know he is a faggot, a pretty boy, a wuss. \
Go Ann !!!!
Yep, I don't care.
