Howard "Yeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhh" Dean rips Ann Coulter a new one? That's funny!

"Give liberals a "thought" and they repeat it all day long...teach them to THINK...and they vote republican."

Liberals are stupid. They don't think. They just repeat the same thing over and over and over and over...

Pathetic. They can dish it out but they can NEVER take a joke.

It was a joke. Not even that funny or original but a JOKE!!!

One of the meanings of "faggot" is a derisive reference to an effeminate man - in other words, a metrosexual. Mad Howard's demand Republican candidates distance themselves from Ann Coulter confirms for me there no real men left in the Democratic Party. They're all a bunch of sissies, wussies, dorks and crybabies. Oh my, I had no idea calling them "girly men" upset them so. You'd think Dean and Co. would wear "faggot" as a badge of honor. Do they think there's something wrong with being the kind of Alan Alda types they really are? You gotta wonder.

Her answer should be: "I am happy to assure Mr. Dean and the Mr. Edwards that I did not call the latter a 'faggot.' I specifically declined to call him a 'faggot.' I said if I were to call him a 'faggot' I would have to go into rehab. I do not want to go into rehab, so I did not call Mr. Edwrads a 'faggot.' I don't thinks it's appropriate to call any aspiring public official a 'faggot' and I think that anyone who does stoop so low should be sent to rehab. Those who use the word 'faggot' to describe Mr. Edwards should spend hard time with the delusionals in our culture who call our president a chimp or a mass murderer. Not that I find the two statements morally equivalent, for indeed they are not. But it would be wrong to call Mr. Edwards a 'faggot.' That's all I'm saying. Others have called him a 'Breck Girl' but that's skating dangerously close to calling him a faggot. I, for one, will not call him a Breck Girl or a faggot. But of the two, I will be most careful not to call Mr. Edwards a 'faggot.' So let this be my sworn, solemn promise to everyone, especially Mr. Edwards: should the whole world call Mr. Edwards a 'faggot,' yet I will not. I have never done so. I will not do so now, or ever."

This is a non-story and Ann Coulter has nothing to apologize for, and neither should any candidate.

[going hot]

Howard dean? Howard dean demands this???

Bwahahahahahahaha.

Those hypocrites who wax eloquent in their righteous indignation need to go pound sand.

[JCEccles]

Bump to #231.

You DU wussie.

[NorCalRepub]

I love it when people call people a liberal here, it tells me they are very insecure....go back and read all my post jerk....I said many times that I don't care what Ann says in private or whatever, I care that she says it at the CPAC with all the serious candidates there.....can't you comprehend what I' was saying....go ahead....read what I wrote....then you'll see your post is idiotic...like most extremists

[ridesthemiles]

Howard Dean can pound sand.

I want a Republican sweep in 2008 and I want Ann Coulter for Press Secretary!!!!

[NorCalRepub]

...yes, faggot is a slur....and only the poorly raised loudmouths here would think of using it at a public forum. Too bad, they were raised poorly....what I meant is that if she were so big and bad, she would callo a spade a spade to Cheney's face instead of using a slur which isn't even true....everyone talks about the liberals doing the same thing...that must mean many here aspire to be like liberals I guess

[NorCalRepub]

....*sigh*....you still aren't getting it...if you read most of the posts that think she is a nitwit, it was because she said this AT the CPAC meeting with serious candidates there.....I"m not offended at all but I think this detracts from the candidates at a serious debate.... and NO, I won't be on Ann's side on this.....I don't understand how so many with so called "Christian values" aspire to act like liberals......and Michael Savage is in the same camp though he does it on a radio show which is fine by me

[NorCalRepub]

..wow, you are obsessed with me.....following me around the thread....if you want to ask me out on a date, then just go for it..though I'm not a faggot obsessive like Ann....

[Buffettfan]

If democrats want to be taken seriously on this issue, then they also need to go after the gangsta rappers who use the term faggot on a daily basis in their "so called" music. But then again, these are their constituents, so they don't want to do anything to upset them. Turns out that the "party of telerance" is not so tolerant after all.

[NorCalRepub]

...if you had any bravado you'd ping me when you talk about me on the threads....that is how FR works....and I can always tell the weak minded when they start calling people liberal trolls.....I've been a Republican a alot longer than you I'm betting......and since you can't comprehend what I'm saying, then you need to move on and stop obsessing on me.....it is not healthy
