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.

****Any known male love interests? ****

Condi Rice was dating former football player Gene Washington. She's kinda had alot on her plate lately.

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

What if Ann Coulter Were a Liberal...

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

[MNJohnnie]

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.

[hellinahandcart]

Good golly. It's been over a week since she called that faggot Edwards a faggot. Get over it already.

[bigbob]

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

[fr_freak]

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.

[bannie]

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

[Luke21]

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

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

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.

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

If a frog had wings.......

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

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.

[NoGrayZone]

Any known male love interests?....

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.

[Darksheare]

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.

[upsdriver]

"But why didn't Ann inset the names of say Rush Limbaugh, Matt Drudge or even Secretary of State Condeleza Rice?"

Would the liberals then love us? Is that all we would need to do?

As far as I'm concerned, Ann Coulter can say anything she wants against liberals! Liberals are mean, evil bast*rds and I have no desire to be liked by them. I only want them defeated by whatever means it takes. Coulter has more courage than ninety nine percent of the republican party and I salute her!

[Popman]

It would have been a national uprising had it come from the mouths of liberals.

Put the bong down.

Not a national uprising, but the blogs would have had a field day

Since only about 10% of the population reads blogs, it would have made it one news cycle with a 20 second comment. Maybe.

It would have been a national uprising had it come from the mouths of liberals.

Baloney.

Well known liberals spout sleazy crap much worse than this, daily. And in much uglier tones of voice, I should add. If conservatives went postal everytime they did, the din would be continuous. And the media is fairly effective at soft peddling said remarks.

Personally, I think Ann was dumb to say it because it was a pointless, inane remark that was guaranteed to do just what it did. A far as the comment itself? Big damn deal. What a bunch of babies the left are to whine so much about it.

[Wolfie]

Simple answer. Everybody would have switched sides. Because consistency and integrity are the last thing you'd find among Americans today.
