Democratic Party boss Howard Dean demanded that Republican presidential candidates denounce conservative columnist Ann Coulter after she referred to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards as a ‘faggot’ during a speech Friday at a national conservative gathering.

Looks like Fred Thompson is dipping his toe into the Presdential wars despite his vote for CFR.
Still searching, but I may have been inaccurate.
She must be out of her mind. Why would she hurt the GOP over someone as inconsequential as John Edwards? What good can come of such foolishness?
"Is Ann Coulter still dating that FEMALE radio host from Los Angeles. Or is she back with Matt Drudge?"
Does Soros pay good benefits?
He should with all the money he is making off of Halliburton.
"She must be out of her mind. Why would she hurt the GOP over someone as inconsequential as John Edwards? What good can come of such foolishness?"
It was a joke about how some words are now illegal and they can get you thrown into rehab.
She could have stuck in any name, though Edwards was good. But nobody thinks Edwards is really gay. (I'm sure he's screwed clients of both sexes.)
It is amazing to me the drop in intellect at FR these days.
I realize there are a lot of seminar posters and people from Soros' various groups here posing as conservatives for moments just like these.
But that doesn't account for all of the posts. The rest have to be chalked up to rampant stupidity.
Alas.
HAAAAA! John Edwards being beat up on by conservative women. Laura Ingram has been calling him "Silky Pony" for a long time. Michelle Malkin has picked up on "My Silky Pony," and taken Edwards and the "nutroots" to task: "The best way to fight the nutroots is to raise their level of exposure. Edwards helped do that. Thanks, Silky Pony."
"her usage and phraseology clearly inferred that Edwards is gay...."
You mean implied.
But thanks for proving my point.
And maybe you should listen to the audio or watch the video.
Instead of picking up Howard Dean and the rest of the DNC's talking points.
It was a tossed off joke. Nobody thinks Edwards is gay.
And no sane person thinks Coulter is a gay-basher. Hell, a number of her stalkers on FR and elsewhere call her a fag-hag.
But let's not let consistency or rationality or humor enter into this.
As so many other brainiacs have pointed out, Coulter clearly did this with the carefully calculated intention of keeping Duncan Hunter's speech from the public.
Or selling her next book...
Or a thousand other idiotic explanations.
They will denounce Ann Coulter at the same time that the democratic candidates denounce Howard Dean as senile.
"I'm sorry Howard Dean was offended."
LOL What a great Demo apology.

How 'bout we just say from now on:
"That's so Edwards"
Ann's insults should be more creative than this, and she shouldn't be wasting ammo on the Breck Girl.
When Ann P!sses off a Liberal, it brings as much joy to me as when GWB P!sses off a Liberal or a Europeean.
In his case it means he has finally done something correctly.
I think it's a breath of fresh air in these politically-correct "multi-cultural" (BARF!) times. She's got a lot guts, and I love her! Just remember, it's the homosexuals who are the very people who want to abolish religion out of American life.
>>Faggot (wood) (or fagot), bundle of sticks or branches
Derived from that, "fag", British slang for cigarette.
Mentioned in Van Morrison's "Blue Money" ("light up a fag") and the Kinks' "A Well Respected Man" ("and he likes his
fags the best")...
["Ann is all about herself, not conservatism. She is no more someone we want to be associated with than Pat Buchanan,"]
I love Ann Coulter's wit, style and no-holds-barred criticisms of the dimocrat party. The fact that she says what the rest of us conservatives are thinking, is no barrier to my adoration, it's the reason for it. She is the premiere conservative diva of the century, and if you don't like her, then you must be a bad person. It's simple a priori truth.
"[She is a disgrace to the party IMO."]
You are a disgrace to the party, IMO. Go ahead, insult the finest conservative voice in America, while sucking up to a baby killing, gay union loving, gun grabbing, left-wing RINO like Rudy, and tell me who's making the GOP look bad.
LOL howard dean wanting an apology is a classic example of liberal dementia
["Ann Coulter and her big mouth give Republicans a bad name."]
No, RINO's like Rudy, McCain, Snowe, etc give Republicans a bad name. Conservatives like Ann Coulter give the Right Wing of the Republican Party a voice in the media. What's wrong, afraid we'll lose the gay vote? Oh no, looks like San Francisco is edging toward the democrats! Ann's statement was accurate, on target, and funny. If it's misconstrued, on purpose, and you go along with that misconstruction, then you are siding with the enemy.
