Edwards Exploited Son's Death, Not Coulter

[Def Conservative]

For those of you attacking Ann Coulter for bringing up John Edwards' son's death, some perspective:

From Front Page News Edwards' public success spotlights son's death

Used it again at the end of 2003 in his own piece, Four Trials

Running for his son: Teen's death changed Edwards' life

Here is the Edwards press machine making it an issue in 2004, acting as if they are finally opening up about it...but they were on record as talking about it in 2001....

**********

Here again, in 2005, Edwards pretends he's finally opening up about his son's death in a Chicago Tribune article:

Throughout his campaign for president and then vice president in 2004, former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina made it clear that the death of his teenage son in a car accident was off-limits, not for discussion in a political context.

But now his wife, Elizabeth, has sent an e-mail to supporters voicing a connection she shares with Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq. As Sheehan was camped near President Bush's Texas ranch, protesting the war, Edwards called on her own family's backers to support Sheehan.

And, in a departure from a campaign-trail silence that the Edwardses kept about the death of their 16-year-old son, Wade, Elizabeth Edwards noted that Sheehan's son, Casey, 24, died in Iraq eight years to the day after her own son.

Here the Edwards are again in 2006, using it with Oprah and her dimwitted audience:

Book saves memory of son, Edwards tells Oprah ******************* Here's John again, finally opening up about his son's death (HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU FINALLY OPEN UP!?!?!?)

The Edwards campaign site loves to bring it up also:

Here again,The Story I Am

Here, the Edwards' blog suggest the way to honor their dead son is to vote for John Edwards: Here again,Getting Young People To Vote

Its funny how Wade Edwards manages to make it into the political arena whenever John Edwards is running for something....

Libtards regularly say things much worse than Ann has ever said, yet when they finally encounter someone who can throw it right back in their faces, they can’t take it.

And there are a bunch of people on this site that have let the "libtards" and the likes of Chrissy "The-Muppet" Matthews convince them Ann is a "meany" and "makes Conservatives look bad." Bunch of wusses!

Great tagline btw!

[dfwgator]

I wouldn’t want every conservative pundit to behave like Ann. Ann is unique.

But the bottom line is that politics is a nasty, dirty business. Always has been, always will be. And the liberals have been getting away with saying some of the meanest things for years (”Stone Henry Hyde’s Family to Death”, “Snipers Wanted!”). It’s about damn time our side had someone who could throw it right back.

Take a hike noob.

Well, I'm of the opinion that we ought to be better than the left. I'm not a PC linguist but the word "faggot" has a connotation in most quarters now as offensive and crass as "nigger," "kike," "wop," and "spic"

Well, it looks like the PC police got to you. You're just like the Homos, yes I said Homos, that want to equate their demands for equal (special) rights to the civil rights movement and the persecution blacks went through. Are you going to recommend rehab for me for using the word Homo?

Don’t waste your cash. I’m reminded of the words of a great southern stand-up comedian who said, “You can’t fix stupid”.

Yeah, yeah. That same comedian thinks we're "all a little bit gay" too. Like I said...take a hike NOOB.

Grow a pair.

[Mr. Know It All]

Grow a pair.

You, too. And I'm talking about brain cells.

[ozzymandus]

In that case, you’re talking about something you don’t have.
Ann Coulter has more balls and brains than any wimp like you.

[Mr. Know It All]

Ann Coulter has more balls and brains than any wimp like you.

I love people who talk tough on the Internet. I'll bet you're a real terror in Halo. As for Ann Coulter's balls, I think she had them removed. Too bad about the enormous adam's apple though.

[ozzymandus]

Ann stood up to a cheap ambush and shamed matthews and edwards. I admire that. Naturally, all you Ann-haters have is the same old “she’s a man”, “she’s too skinny”, “she’s too mean”, and all that crap you always spew.

I’m not talking tough, it just seems that way to a gelding like you, and I’m tired of your whining. Go send edwards some of your wife’s money. That’s all he wants anyway.
