"...imagine that Ann Coulter is seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her?"......

Edwards, his right fist curled, feigned a punch and said: "No, there's absolutely nothing. Grow up."

AUSTIN -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards feigned a punch Thursday when asked what he'd like to say to Ann Coulter, the conservative commentator who seemingly characterized his sexual orientation in remarks at a political confab last week.

Edwards, appearing on Texas Monthly Talks, was asked by host Evan Smith to momentarily imagine that Coulter was seated in Smith's place. Anything to say to her?

Edwards, his right fist curled, feigned a punch and said: "No, there's absolutely nothing. Grow up."

Coulter told the Conservative Political Action Conference last Friday: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word faggot." Amid laughter and applause, she continued: "So I'm kind of at an impasse - can't really talk about Edwards."

Edwards, a former U.S. senator representing North Carolina and the Democratic Party's 2004 vice presidential nominee, is married to Elizabeth Edwards. They have three children, ages 24, 7 and 5.

His campaign has posted Coulter's remarks and a pitch to raise $100,000 in "Coulter cash."

During Thursday's taping, Edwards also rapped President Bush as untrustworthy, vowed to fund universal health care by raising taxes on wealthy Americans, and revisited his view that he made a mistake as a senator in voting to authorize the invasion of Iraq.

Predicting that Americans will choose a Democrat for president next year, he stopped short of judging two Democratic competitors - U.S. Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois.

Edwards, whose national finance chairman is Dallas lawyer Fred Baron, attended a breakfast fundraiser in Austin before the taping. He held a fundraiser and rally in San Antonio on Wednesday and was headed next to a Corpus Christi luncheon-fundraiser and an evening fundraiser in Houston.

Just imagine if Mitt Romney had fake-punched Maureen Dowdy. We'd never hear the end of it.

Edwards taking on Coulter seems like a way for him to lower himself to her level. On the other hand, it seems to be improving his polls, so that shows who his supporters are.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

"lower" he can never in his wildest dreams rise to her level.

[vox_freedom]

I must say, he must be...

[spikeytx86]

You know I originally came out against the Coulter comment as distracting and immature. But with his victimization and now him being ordained the first women president by a feminist, I must concur with Ann...

John Edwards is a fag.

You were right I was wrong Ms. Coulter.
