What if Ann Coulter Were a Liberal and Inserted a Conservatives Name

I have long thought that Ann Coulter has done more harm than good with certain of her writings and comments. Notice I've written certain, but you must take from those words the inference not all. Yes, certainly some of it has been very funny. Often there's a deep dish of irony served. Other times it takes someone like her cut through the chatter and name names and characterize situations.

The comment made at CPAC recently was one of those times where she stepped over the line when lampooning either someone or a situation or political correctness or whatever rationalization her supporters have put forward. But the fact remains, why didn't she insert the names of some famous conservatives if she was trying to make a point?

There has been no firm evidence or rumor that John Edwards is nothing more than heterosexual. The comment was based in those inopportune and awkward photos that were taken in the last election. One featured Edwards primping for an event. The others were during the 2004 campaign certain photos showed Edwards and running mate John Kerry looking or physically touching in photos that if taken out of context could be fodder for idle minds.

But why didn't Ann inset the names of say Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge or even Secretary of State Condeleza Rice? If it was a no harm no foul comment, then why not insert these heavy weight conservatives or perceived to be friends to conservatives names instead of John Edwards?

Most would say those names would make no sense. Who could ever even for a moment link those names to that word? Well, for one, if it was only about going after political correctness, then a name wouldn't matter.

But let's suppose for a moment someone did take the time to look for moments of where perception could be drawn from nothing. Wasn't it Rush who returned from a tropical island hop with nothing but viagra and male friends in tow? Rush described as a guys get away weekend. But why with viagra? And only men? One could infer what he meant not to imply.

And there has long been rumors about Matt Drudge. They are mostly floating in the liberal blogs, but certainly brought out here on this forum when he starts linking to stories that damage the credibility of this administration or other conservatives. To turn a phrase Ann, if the rumor does fit, why not use it?

Finally, what about Secretary Rice? Gracious, intellectual and until she had to begin displaying diplomacy in her job as Secretary of State the darling of the intellectual right. Any known male love interests? There may be, but I am unaware of them. A malicious mind could create all kinds of outcomes.

I'm not suggesting or inferring any of the above. But many will claim I am. It's for illustrative purposes. But think for a moment. Those who have given Ann a pass on this latest headline grabber would have winced had she inserted any of the above names instead of John Edwards. It would have been a national uprising had it come from the mouths of liberals.

You've got to be kidding. It wouldn't even warrant a mention in the news outlets where most Americans get their news.

"Donald Rumsfeld is a faggot." - It just doesn't compute, logically or rhetorically.

Then nobody would have heard of her because she would be the typical nut-job liberal, just like all the rest of them.

YAWN, Another day, another self righteous moralizing from the PC Conservatives.

Your assumptions are false. REAL hate speech pours out of the mouths of the Left every day and the usual pretend "Conservatives" makes excuses or ignore it. Ann Coulter makes a joke and you knee jerk Ann Haters go into hysterics. There is NO "National Uprising" when anyone on the Center Right is called Hitler or Aunt Jemimah or Baby Killer or anything. Only someone totally ignoring all political reality could make such an absurd claim as this.

The Right has had to smile and take hate speech for the Left for Decades.. The second they shoot back in the least the PC Conservatives are all over them about it How about you all ONE time try actually attacking the Leftist for the beam in their eye instead of this continual going into hysterics about the speck in Ann Coulter's eye?

When you all put 1/8th as much effort into condemning the Left's REAL hate speech and you do going into hysterics about a joke told by Coulter, we will take you people seriously. Until then quit wasting our time with your hypocritical moralizing.

a national conservative uprising.

That there would be. Except in the case of Drudge, who would be the ....butt of many FR jokes.

I just wish Ann would have called him a "pussy" and had it over with. Who could have disagreed?

I can't believe how many people who call themselves conservative have allowed themselves to be so bamboozled by the leftist thought police tactics that they now immediately condemn anyone who says the slightest politically correct thing.

Ann made a joke. In that joke she alluded to two things: 1) John Edwards comes across as a sissy-boy and everyone knows it, 2) In this politically correct world, a guy actually had to flog himself in rehab (aka political re-education) just for calling his coworker a faggot. The fact that your panties, along with the panties of so many other people, are now in a severe twist over that shows just how far so many are willing to bow down before their liberal masters.

I wish I could get some TV time. I'd call Edwards a faggot, Kerry a traitor, Hillary a Communist traitor, and Mohammed a false prophet whose minions serve Satan. If that makes you cringe, you should remember that liberals have called Bush Hitler, Condoleeza Rice a house nigger, and the US a terrorist nation, all without the slightest hint of outrage from anyone but Freepers. So put things back in perspective. Please.

They've worked on hurting Ann like they worked on hurting Newt. They fear them both because they are convincingly correct.

Sure, that's what he wants you to think now, but back in the day ...

We would only have heard it on Rush. And then it would disappear, like all insults from liberals.

Look. No doubt that there is a different reaction depending on who has said what. It's easy to figure out. Just look at the political side of the victim. Conservative: excoriated, xxx-reamed, given continuous colonoscopies, tarred, feathered, quarted, crucified, boiled in oil, burned at the stake.
Liberal: 2 or 3 words in 1 or 2 newspapers.
In liberal la-la-land all conservatives are evil, racist, sexist, homophobe even if they are not. All liberals are kind, tolerant, do-gooders who would never say anything bad about anyone.

Short answer: She would have received a complete pass on her comment from most of her current critics, and would have been lauded by the remainder of them.

Why is this ANY of your business? Faggot DOES NOT mean gay. I REALLY DON'T CARE IF LIBS HAVE CHANGED THE MEANING. I AM NOT A LIB. As Ann has said, it is a playground (school) taunt. Period. She did not infer john edwards was GAY, just a WUSS. Heck, I still use gay as wuss, even upon myself ( I am so gay, almost all of the Hallmark commercials make me cry). GET OVER IT!

P.S. I am not gay, Hallmark commercials just make me cry.

John Edwards, wussified semi-closeted pansy with the primping needs of a supermodel, a.k.a. 'faggot'.
If he'd put on garish makeup, he'd be perfect for the gay pride parades.
