One of the major differences between liberals and conservatives is that liberals are much more susceptible to group think. Most on the left are content to accept the prevailing leftist talking points as their own without questioning any of the intellectual underpinnings of said argument. (Think global warming..)
Conservatives, on the other hand, are more likely to rely on the substance and facts of a debate instead of drawing their conclusions based on 'consensus' and 'feelings'. At least that used to be so.
Enter Ann Coulter.

Did she really have to diss a family man though. I don't agree with one single word the guy says, but I truly believe he loves his family and they are still grieving the loss of their son. That is pretty low in anybody's book to diss a family in mourning.
Did Ann hurt your poor widdle fewings? And by the way, where did you get the idea that Miss Coulter represents you?
"I don't see why this is a hill to fight and die on."
Because if they take this hill, we may lose the war entirely.
The forced endorsement of sexual disorder has tremendously far-reaching ramifications. It could literally destroy western civilization.
When are we going to start fighting back in *any* effective way?
And yes, even saying, "We will not be intimidated into refraining from bad-mouthing you even as you rain a constant storm of vituperation down upon us," is to do more than anyone has been doing to date.
Isn't it slanderous too since the statements are false? Can't she be sued by the family?
"Using the term she used & in the way she used it is a awful."
Go back to DU, troll.
"Someone please explain to me in what sense that "joke" was supposed to be funny?"
It was funny to conservatives, you'd kind of have to be a conservative to get it.
That makes him homosexual? Huh?
Not necessarily. But it does makes him effeminate.
Faggot or fag, in modern American, Canadian and Australian English usage, is a generally pejorative term for a gay or effeminate man. Its use has spread to varying extents elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

I'm the first to admit that I've purloined all of my good lines. see tagline. . . .
She didn't hurt my feelings one bit. I simply think she has a gutter mouth. As for Representing me? Let's just say I was making it clear that she doesn't represent me, hence, I don't follow her like some blind sheep.
Have a nice day.
Who the hell "follows" her? That would be like "following" Dennis Miller.
"I did and I respect their right to say what they said"
They had no right to say what they said. They had the legal freedom to say it, because that's how we want our laws to be, but there is never a "right" to blather destructive propaganda.
I'm glad she called faggots, faggots.
I not only defend her, I agree with her.
Hear! Hear!
Darn it, what made my formatting drop out?
"This is one reason (among many) that we're better"
"It is also one reason (among many) that you are losing."
I owe you a cigar.
It is long past time for decent people to realize that, when dealing with the moral lepers of the left, unilateral civility is nothing more than a self-imposed handicap...and a heavy one, at that.
Leftists should be reviled, castigated, scorned, ridiculed, and ultimately driven out of civilization. There is nothing one can say that is so bad as to even approach the reality. It is literally impossible to criticize them too strongly or too rudely, because human speech is simply not up to the task.
To misquote Charles Winninger, I'll tell you briefly what I think of leftists: the hand of God reaching down into the mire couldn’t elevate one of them to the depths of degradation--not by a million miles.
If conservatives think they are advantaging themselves in any slightest way by refraining from calling an evil scumbag an evil scumbag, or calling a pickle-smooching rump ranger a pickle-smooching rump ranger, they are sorely deluded.
Wake the hell up. Fight back now, because at this rate there may be no tomorrow.
I see. So the "joke" is that he's effeminate, therefore a fag.
Okay, yes, it's coming back to me now. I do remember this kind of taunt being in currency back in fifth grade or so. Good point.
How old is Ann Coulter, I wonder?
I wonder if her joke repertoire will be including more from this genre from now on. Perhaps I can expect to be regaled with jokes about poop, and farting, and how the verb "come" can be misunderstood, by the hilarious and mature Ann Coulter in the future?
To immature conservatives, you mean. Yes, I see that now.
"self-imposed handicap.."
Exactly
You agree with calling him a name for a homosexual? Geesh
