Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic.

I guess you could say that Ann loves to shock us, but at this point, who’s shocked? She obviously can’t behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. It’s not a lack of intelligence. It’s an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if it’s unflattering.

(For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s audio of her calling John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC today.)

Michelle Malkin -

***4:15pm update***

Ann Coulter just finished her riff on Al Gore, tossed out some cute jokes ("You can understand why Hollywood is concerned about global warming. You know what heat does to plastic."), and ended with a cheap one-liner about John Edwards being a "faggot." (Paraphrasing) She said she would refrain from commenting on Edwards because "if you say faggot, you have to go to rehab."

A smattering of laughter.

Not from this corner.

Crickets chirping.

Bryan Preston of 'Hot Air' -

Ann Coulter is speaking at CPAC as I write. As is typical, she gave a brief speech full of her usual witticisms, including a few brilliant attacks on Al Gore’s green hypocrisy. All was good. Untill the last few seconds, when she launched into a joke about John Edwards.

Here’s what she said.

“I’d say something about John Edwards, but if you say ‘faggot’ you have to go to rehab.”

I’m no fan of John Edwards, but that’s just a stupid joke. It’s over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying.

Last year it was “raghead.” This year it’s calling John Edwards a “faggot.” Two years in a row, Coulter has finished up an otherwise sharp CPAC routine with an obnoxious slur that liberals will fling at conservatives for years to come.

Thanks, Ann.

My comments... what should have been a day to celebrate a Reaganesque speech by Duncan Hunter, and good speeches by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee was overshadowed by an unhinged comment by Ann Coulter. She is an absolute idiot for saying something like this at CPAC.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

At the top of the hour I just heard ABC news report the latest "Ann flap", they didn't even have their facts straight! As usual, pushing the "lieberal" agenda.

[Enterprise]

Ponch and Jon take a moment to discuss the "Faggot" remark by Ann.

[Matchett-PI]

If she had used the word, Shirtlifter instead, they would have thought she was equating him with Clintoooon, and that would really have brought the house down.

[going hot]

Edwards' dropping out will happen, regardless of what Anne may or may not say.

Gore's dropping in, may happen, again, regardless of what Anne may or may not say.

Anne has uttered plenty over the years, and her utterances have swayed national political movements how far in either direction??

Please, in the backdrop of what is said every day, in the actual halls of congress, by "our" representatives who place political power far ahead of the security of this nation, her words are no more than passing gas in the wind.

Those who continuously give weight, political upheaval weight, to her utterances really should get out more, and listen to the discourse out there.

They would truly have their blood boil, and perhaps redirect their fire to those more deserving.

[tobyhill]

Maybe "p*ssy" would have been a better? :)

[neocon1984]

I surmise you have been brain washed with Political Correctness. Ann's comment was arguably stupid, but I cannot see how it is hateful.

Maybe you should look up the word "hate" in the dictionary.

[Leatherneck_MT]

People whine bitch and complain about every little thing.

Who cares what someone called someone else. Had she attacked him with a baseball bat I'd be concerned. She didn't. Furthermore, the only crime she's probably guilty of is telling the truth.

To hell with what the politicians say.

[JCEccles]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I find it invigorating and refreshing that Ann's comments have at least temporarily distracted the the Giuliani Groupies at FR and kept the annoying Rudy spam to minimum for the last few hours.

[budwiesest]

But, on the other hand Ann Coulter keeps the sea lanes of free speech open against the forces of fascist pc. That is where she is very important.

Great analogy, 'cause when those 'lanes' close, the thought police will be out in droves- just 'following orders'.

From here:

http://www.cwfa.org/articles/318/CFI/cfreport/index.htm

Excerpt:

According to the Times, Giuliani has attended every “gay pride” parade in
New York during his eight years as mayor. In 1992, during his first run for
mayor, Giuliani took part in a homosexual “pride” parade that included a
contingent of pedophile activists marching behind a banner for NAMBLA (North
American Man/Boy Love


Then, from here:

http://users.rcn.com/kyp/sos.html
Spirit of Stonewall

Excerpt:

the organizing committee of Stonewall 25 is dominated by those intent on
imposing political censorship. To march in the parade, groups must take the
equivalent of a loyalty oath. They must pledge their support for
age-of-consent laws. Any group that favors the abolition of these laws has
been denied permission to march. The obvious intent of this ruling is to
keep the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) out of the parade,
presumably from a desire to avoid bad publicity. But it galls me that people
are being excluded not for what they do but for what they think.



Which of these members voted to allow NAMBLA to march under their own
banner? And what does NAMBLA being part of Stonewall MEAN?

Ironic that Ann is the only one in the room who isn't acting like a fag???

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Twinkie]

Why only $100,000?
Why not high roll and ask for $100,000,000?
Hollywood scoffs at nickle and dimers. Think big.

From John Edwards campaign website -

Friday afternoon, Republican mouthpiece Ann Coulter

She is not a Republican mouthpiece. The statement is false. The author probably knows that it is false, i.e., it is a lie. This statement in itself is more offensive than Ann’s hint that Edwards may be gay - “not that there is anything wrong with that.”

[jrooney]

Cry me a River. We are damn lucky to have GW and Cheney. Here is a tissue.

[Clara Lou]

LOL!

[EQAndyBuzz]

"I don't agree. Reagan brought real social conservatives to the Party. Your man was Goldwater. That's the standard you are looking for. You want a Goldwater party."

Not really sure about Goldwater. What I want is inclusiveness and understanding that not every Republican is a Conservative. Some are pro-choice, some could care less about gay marriage, some want government to be more involved in helping the citizens who cannot help themselves.

However, all are concerned that we remain a strong and free nation, with a strong leader and solid business ties as well as the willingness to allow people to decide for themselves how they want to live their lives.

A good portion of this nation want this and the ideology that best sells their message to the moderates will be the ones in office in 08. The Libs are selling it. The Conservatives won't.

[Elyse]

This sort of response ONLY hurts the politician making it and raises Ann Coulter's stature.

Raises Ann Coulter's stature?!? That's just crazy talk, man. Ann lowered herself to their level and his moaning and complaining does nothing to change that.

[Arrowhead1952]

I'm just glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when I saw that. The people in the hall were wondering what I was laughing at, so I showed them your cartoon. Good one!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

The LCR works very hard supporting and growing the Republican Party.

The LCR are a bunch of homosexual activists whose main goal is to water down the GOP and make it indistinguishable from the Dems

Coulter, on the other hand, has no agenda aside from celebrity.

Coulter is probably the most influential conservative after Rush
