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.)

***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.

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.
"You are totally right. There is a lack of character displayed by Ann here and others do it as well. An absence of common decency is NOT a conservative value.
I hear so many on this site talk about lines they won't cross. And yet this is the same thing. It is an unwillingness to adhere to principle."
If anybody will bother to scroll back through your last 250 or so posts:

They will see that this is a constant theme or yourse. Perhaps your only theme.
You even have chided the owner of this forum for people not being "polite" enough to you.
You seem to have the delicacy of a Russian czarina. Or a Fabrege egge.
Perhaps you are on the wrong forum, and more generally, in the wrong line of discussion.
Politics is not bean bag. Political discussions are not the stuff of social teas.
And if you can't even take a joke, well...
It probably did, because when I was watching Bill O'Reilly during the Edwards' camp bloggers fiasco, everyone defending the bloggers including the bloggers themselves were pointing at Ann Coulter.
I agree. I guess from reading some of the posts here - it depends on what your values are - what your principles are. For some, perhaps, being mean and rude is what they are trying to do.
"I think it was Helen Thomas."
NOOOOO!!!!!! You had to say it, now someone will post a picture and we'll all have to burn our eyes out.
For goodness sake there are enough offensive pictures on this thread.
Sorry to say that, on this thread at least, we are decidedly in the minority.
Perhaps you can understand that others do care?
President Rudy will set Ann aright. She's a domestic terrorist by any Rudy measure.
A Giuliani groupie is criticizing Ann Coulter for a lack of character and for not adhering to conservative principles?
Get out of here!
We should. Many of them are against alot of the left winged social issues like gay marriage.
And would you also argue that self-respecting black should see the *N* word as a badge of honor?
He's got a good hook there!
But what about:
Kilborne Cash: Rifle Crosshairs on a pic of Pres Bush
Carville Cash: Kneecapping
Bill Maher Cash: I’m just saying if he (Cheney about the assassination attempt) did die, other people, more people would live.
Quote from transcript...Barney Frank joking about Cheney being assassinated:
Barney Frank: They said the bomb was wasted. (laughter and applause)
Maher: That’s a funny joke.
Alex Baldwin Cash: Go to his house and kill his wife and children
And the Politicos:Murtha Cash: Military Cold Blooded Killers
Hussein Obama Cash: GIs’ lives ‘wasted’
John Kerry: Stuck in Irak
I think it's great they are wasting their money on Edwards. He doesn't have a snowball's chance. I hope even the poor libs send in their $5 bucks instead of giving it to Obama. This is a shot in the arm to Edwards; unfortunately, he was already DOA.
"Mabye she should purge her guilt by buying insult credits from a company that she owns.(just like Algore)
and she will have a insult-neutral footprint!!1"
ROFL my nomination for the best post of the thread, thus far!!!
Excerpt -
"Bottom line: Coulter's remark was indefensible. She had the right to say it, but that doesn't make her right for saying it, and she deserves every bit of criticism she's getting."
LOL - now THAT really makes my skin crawl.
But on the Giuliani threads, you are collectivly a pro-Rudy anti-First Amendment (pro-hate crimes) juggernaut!
Not only that, but the policies they support deserve to be met with nothing but scorn and derision. Using well-reasoned arguments to counter their policies is a fool's errand.
These oh so sensitive precious princes should reserve their wrath for the savage moslem hordes who are even now sharpening their sabres and laughing incredulously at their petty sensitivities If the truth of John Breckgirl was known it would be much worse than a sidewise swipe at his manhood by someone who, after all, isn't running for anything.
So you want to be known as a hater?
