On Ann Coulter - Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic. (conservatives respond)

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.

She has no idea how much damage she has caused with her stupid remarks.

Not nearly as much as your disingenuous PC crap.

You may not have noticed, but the "progressives" have a constant barrage of "party of hate" accusations before Ann said a word. What difference should it make?

Ann is not now and never has been a "mouthpiece" of the GOP.
If Ann is considered a Republican "mouthpiece," then Bill Maher, who very recently regretted that Dick Cheney wasn't killed by terrorists in Pakistan, should be considered a Democrat mouthpiece. See here .

She is not a talented writer.

She is actually an excellent writer. She is a polemicist, and some people do not like the polemic style. But in the popular genre of that style, there are few writers as skilled, trenchant, or efficiently economical with her words as Ann.

Ann Coulter is a shrill embarassment to all thinking conservatives.

"Close it's read as "Hey F**k You Dems".

Ah, don't do as you do, do as you say.

Of course the truth is you just seized upon this JOKE to bash someone you are either jealous about or you disagree with politically.

The facts don't matter. Your own behavior doesn't matter. Nothing matters but getting in your digs in a trumped up story.

Way to go!!!

Ann is one of the few voices who says the truth and takes the hit. We need ten of her.

Alan Alda and John Edwards and John Kerry is what Dems think of as a man. The Oprah wants men to cry like weenies. Welcome to modern American pop culture.

I am willing to lay big odds that a lot of the women out there would rather have John Wayne or Jack Bauer as their man, not some wimp who wants to talk about their feelings and weep.

Ann scored big! She told the truth! In one sentence she said how weak Dems are, a social commentary on the hypocrisy of political correctness, and that there is a segment of our culture that believes effeminate men are somehow preferable with the ladies.

When was the word "faggot" ever acceptable to describe a homosexual?

The word was frowned upon long before the PC movement began.

Why anyone champions the right is beyond me. It is a thankless task at best.

***********

You got that right. I'm beginning to wonder just how many conservatives we have here on FR.

Keep it up, Ann. Some of us appreciate your irreverent style.

CL: It is not a matter of free speech. It is a matter of Ann (as nearly always) is right and of you are wrong. You have the right to disagree with Ann. I have the right to disagree with you. Thank God, Ann has the right to level attacks on the enemies of us all. You, I, Ann, all enjoying free speech and using it. The distinction is that you are wrong but your expressions of wrongness are certainly protected.

When the LEFT went anti-American, when it generated the surgical slaughter to date of 50+million innocent babies, when it decided to support every form of social issue revolution against Western Civilization known to man or beast, when it decided that stripping us of individually owned firearms is for our "good", when it decided that Islamofascism was not important enough to interrupt their drug galas and fantasy world, the gloves came off and they are not being put on again until the left is crushed. No quarter. No prisoners.

We are not a simpering polite debating society of tea sippers and doily arrangers. Rudeness has its place in politics and Annis thankfully ruthless in its exercise against the appropriate targets.
