On Ann Coulter - Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic. (conservatives respond)
Hugh Hewitt Townhall site ^ | Friday March 2nd, 2007 | Dean Barnett

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.

our own to me, is quite unseemly. Though I'm all for bashing dims on a daily basis! :)

Same here. That's why I bash Rudy on a daily basis. He may be the best Democrat running for the Republican nomination, but that doesn't confer any special immunity on him.

This is Coulter's value. She unmasks the trolls in our midst.

Agreed. I like Ann. I can only imagine the contempt she must feel for some of the posters to this thread.

Coulter is being railroaded indeed. But if anyone on the right refers to anything relating to race or homosexuality they allow the media to take advantage of them by manipulating the middle. You better have some good cards if you start a war with them because they survive off soundbites. Reality is redefined.

I don't consider homosexuals to be a "protected" minority. To me, they are like vegetarians or creative anachronists. Unfortunatly, the "Friends of Dorothy" have alot of clout within the media.

I guess I'll chime in. I'm not offended by what she said. It was a joke, and I frankly don't care if anyone was offended.

She embarrassed us in front of the Left? She embarrassed us in front of the Press? She made us look bad in front of the party of Kennedy, Murtha, Frank, Gore, and yes, Edwards? What could anyone possibly do to look bad in front of that crowd of degenerates?

The mistake is not in insulting them, the mistake is to even take them seriously at all, when they should every one of them be laughed off the public stage and out of public life altogether.

Does anyone not notice that Edwards is a fraud and a phony? And more than a little effeminate? Laura Ingraham likes to call him a little pony. I think that nails it pretty well. If the Chimpy BushHitler crowd is offended by this "new low" in American discourse, I really don't care. If the crowd that thinks Christians are fascists get bent by a 2 second joke, I don't care. It was a joke. They can get over it. I've said worse, and I've thought way worse. I'm thinking it right now, as a matter of fact.

C'mon - one of the meanings of "faggot" in English usage refers to an effeminate man.

Perhaps but that is not the most common definition. I bet that not 1 person in 20 would think "effeminate" when the word faggot is used.

Anne must know that if you run your mouth constantly trying to be funny, you are going to lay an egg once in awhile. No big deal.

Boy are we quick to throw our own under the bus.

I'm not throwing her under the bus. She has no official capacity withing the GOP, which is what the democRATs want to insinuate. I don't really care what she said, but if we apologize, or denounce her, then we just play into their hands by tacitly admitting she speaks for us.

As often as our conservatives bend over not to offend liberals, maybe they should change their name to FudgePAC?

Edwards is a traitor. A crime for which he should be arrested, tried and punished for.

For someone who betrays their country for personal political gain, there is no insult, no profanity no vulgarity that is to harsh or over the line.

The Democrats are perfectly correct her remark was hate speech. Hate speech directed at someone who should be hated. When conservatives speak about Murtha, Durbin, Kerry, Kennedy, Edwards, etc.; it should be with the most angry hateful language they can muster; soldiers are dying in Iraq because of the encouragement these sh-t eating gd f-ing treasonous bastards are giving to our enemies. Given the evil these Democrats are involved in, Ann Coulter's public remarks are tame. Conservatives need to stop worrying about what the media elite think, even about what moderates and independents think and start using language and characterizations which properly reflect the evil these people are up too.

The whole reason why the media keyed off on what Ann said, which wasn't all that bad or volatile, is to indoctrinate the general public into seeing Conservatives as wicked, vile and evil people.

Like the Bible points out, in the "End Times", evil will become good and good will become evil. And, people will be lovers of themselves. (This is a clear description of our current media!)

Right on, Ann.

If Edwards gives $1 million to the Republicans, I'll pick up his puppet strings and make him say the right thing in response.

I stopped reading Ann long ago. Never like the Malkin woman. Latest developments don't surprise me.

What a bunch of babies. How about when Clinton called Bush "Stupid." Huh? Everyone laughed at that. "It's the economy, stupid." We could probably come up with thousands of examples.

When will Conservatives learn not to chew up their own?? I say Edwards deserves anything we CHRISTIAN Conservatives can throw at him for the hire of the trash mouth blogger women who spewed all over America's Christian values top to bottom!! To use Hillary's words,"we are sick and tired" of this kind of trash, so anything Coulter says is okay with me!! Pox on the DNC and all their operatives, Dean, Snake Eyes and all the rest.
