The right IS standing by Ann. It's only people like Bill O'Reilly, McCain, Rudy and their bots on here that aren't. Oh, they'll "defend her right to say it", but they'll complain about her "venue for saying it" and how it is "tacky" and "potty mouth". Fact is that it is a Rohrshach test to see where you fit in the political spectrum. Defend Ann, and you're on the right, condemn her, and you're not. Simple as that.
I have been a big fan of Ann's since the day I first saw her on cable during the Clinton scandal. And I think it wasn't the right venue for the remark, though to me almost anywhere would be the wrong venue for the remark, some places more than others.
I have responded to these threads with my honest opinion about it because it was such a hot topic for discussion. But frankly, I do wish the right would have kept quiet about it and not have assisted the left in their dirty work.
The left can make a sneeze coming from a conservative seem like a horrible deed.

That is absolutely hilarious in its absurdity. Michelle Malkin is a big lefty (for example).
LOL
This is just like the Dixie Chick saga. Like the Dixie Chicks, Ann Coulter had the freedom of speech to say what she did but with that freedom comes consequences.
Coulter is not dumb and she is very accustomed to public speaking. This was a calculated publicity stunt.
FWIW, Coulter does far more harm to the conservative cause than any benefit she brings. She the pundit equivalent of an internet troll. She was once a insightful and thought provoking writer, but now she just lives off of flame throwing and getting a rise out of people.
