“Coulter’s remark about him displaying an “Ask Me About My Son” bumper sticker on his car is out of bounds.”

Coulters comment was dead on accurate and thats why he’s whining. People around here need to show a little more backbone and stick up for people like Ann when they tell the truth, or we will run out of truthtellers. And they are already rare.

yeah, I never thought I would grow tired of Ann but I am approaching that point. She’s has a great mind but her delivery is just awful. I can’t even watch her on a split screen debate anymore because she just huffs and rolls her eyes the entire time.

I just heard a news tease/blurb down here on WIOD in Broward County Florida. They only played one blurb.... a blurb where Ann is saying: 'OK, I'll just wish that Edwards gets blown up by a terrorist'. That was it. They played it on purpose to give the impression that she made that up on the top of her head.....when she was mimicking what Bill Maher said about Cheney (Maher said we'd be better off if Cheney got blown up by terrorists) (something like that).

I wrote the station and told them that they won't get the reaction out of me that they wanted (to hate Ann COulter even more) because I was not a dumb Democrat and looked up the whole context/story. If you want to write to this news station (they are the ones where the commissioner didn't want the hurricane notices played) then here are their emails addresses:
newsradio610@ccmiami.com; kbrady@ccmiami.com; kencharles@clearchannel.com; lorishepard@clearchannel.com; webmaster@ccmiami.com; kcerenzia@ccmiami.com

PLease let them know that you know what Ann meant when she said that..that you know the whole story and don't appreciate their agenda of trying to trash her on half stories.

Some would just as soon roll over and pee themselvs than comfront the Christian, Conservative & Republican attackers.

Not a fag, a faggot. Please, when Ann uses colorful words she knows the depth of meaning ... fag is a limp-wristed male homosexual, faggot is something Edwards fits, a girly man.

I never heard what Coulter supposedly said about the son - is this it?

Yeah, supposedly she made a joke about it a couple of years ago...that is what Mrs. Edwards was upset about. Instead poking fun at what must have been grief for the Edwards's, Ann could have legitimately gone after someone like Rosie O'Donnel exploiting her child and made a good case: click here

Freepers are 'up' on the News and political spectrum. We understand what she is saying and the sarcasm and comparisons she spouts.
But..
The vast majority of folks in the Country don't follow politics or in depth News.
They see her comments and cringe, completely oblivious to what or why she says it.

I love Ann but sometimes she makes me cringe.

If someone who lost a relative in 9/11 talks about supporting the Iraq war, many people cheer "someone who gets it." If someone who lost a relative in 9/11 talks about opposing the Iraq war they are "exploiting" their tragedy. The double standard is transparent.

The is nothing wrong with the Edwards' discussion how the death of their son changed their lives and I'm a little ashamed to share a country with people who think that poking fun at their tragedy is somehow acceptable "political" speech.

My wife is a hospital chaplain and just finished a rotation on the neo-natal ICU. Every day she had to bring spiritual comfort to people who had lost a child, or help parents wrestle with end-of-life issues for a baby that was never going to make it out of the hospital.

Some days she would come home and I'd have to hold her as she sobbed and we'd pray for her to find the strength to go back the next day and do it again. No one who has been touched by the death of a child would ever tell a parent that they weren't allowed to speak about how that loss changed their lives — whether or not that parent was running for political office.

Ann was over the line.

“No one who has been touched by the death of a child would ever tell a parent that they weren’t allowed to speak about how that loss changed their lives — whether or not that parent was running for political office.”

Exactly. Nobody who loses a child is ever the same person again.

How can you shame a man who “channels” dead people for his jury summations. The man knows no shame, otherwise he wouldn’t be running yet again for an office he will never hold. I think Ann’s remarks are funny. Why are we letting the PC crowd tell us what to think of Ann?

Edwards having his kids’ mommy call in to stand up for him is pathetic.

She called him “our Obama”.

That says a lot more about many Republicans' reaction to him than it does about Fred.

Why...you can't say anything about the hypocrisy of Mrs. Edwards, she has cancer and her son died. /s

This has Jersey Girls written all over it.

Incidentally, campaigning for her faggot husband is giving meaning to life for Mrs. Faggot. I can pray she will be cured of her cancer, but not be cured of her blindness where Mr. Faggot is concerned ... don’t want to pray for a maariage to end if she awakens to see the Faggot for what he is, an empty shell of deceptions preened on the surface to hide the vacuousness inside. That woman deserves better after suffering so much.

Not trying to defend slimeball Edwards...but, IMO, Coulter lowered herself to his level with inappropriate jokes about what is obviously grief for the Edwards family. No one (dirbag politician or not) can gain anything positive from the death of a child.

I agree. People of all political stripes will pick up on the fact that Edwards is exploiting his son’s death; Coutler diverts attention from that fact when she touches the issue.

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.

Rock on, Ann!
