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.

I understand you've taken exception to my calling you whores. I'm sorry. I apologize. I ask you to note that I did not call you callous-ass strumpets, fornicatresses, or low-born gutter sluts. But I did say whores. No escaping that. And for that slip of the tongue I apologize. — Judge Roy Bean, as portrayed by Paul Newman

Ann Colter wants what will get her the most attention and sell the most books, period.

Actually, you know, he seems to like women so Ann should have just called him a powder puff or testosterone-challenged in that he's a quart low.

And this whole question of whether John is or isn't a quart low can be settled quite easily by YouTubing* the "Breck girl's" famous makeup session where he confiscated the hair styling tools from the makeup girl and created his own coiffure.

As for "Ann Coulter brought hate-speech politics to a new low." A new low? Would that be like Bill Maher remarking he was sorry the Cheney assassination attempt had failed?

Poor Ann.... You can take the girl out of the trash, but you can't take the trash out of the girl.

Clearly, you don't know what trash is...

Check this out and then we'll talk...

Nah I draw my line at 6!

Your tolerance is commendable.

For that, you may postpone your rehab until July.

Expect a reminder in the mail.

Is this your correct address? Blood type? Hat size? Weight? Hair color? Salt/no salt? Briefs/boxers?

Oops. That's seven questions. Sorry.

"Ann Coulter took 5000 giant leaps backwards yesterday and embarrassed conservatives in the process. That cancels out her thousands of stepe forward."

So sayeth that well-known sage ajolympian2004.

Funny, I don't even remember seeing you post before. And yet you are all over this.

This will be forgotten within a week or less. Just like you will be.

She's a writer. She illustrates. She postulates. She puts words to thoughts and shoves them into the public discourse.

We do that every day here.

Thank God there are still people like her who haven't been muzzled by the Thought Police.

I don't need unhinged harpies like her telling everyone how I'm supposed to feel.

I really don't understand the fuss. First off, John Edwards has got to be the gayest straight man in America. Using the word "faggot" in relation to the guy is about as inaccurate as using the word "dead" when talking about Anna Nichole Smith. And in both cases, the use of such words isn't going to lose the GOP any votes. Gays will still vote Democratic, not matter what, as will the dead.

And if Ann had really wanted to insult Edwards, she'd have said something nasty about his hair.

She's a weird, 'Rat plant
pretending to be "conservative" to make us look like idiots.

I don't see why that should be necessary.
Losers seem to do a great job all on their own...

No, he wasn't "sent." He chose to go out of fear that he might lose his career.

LOL!! Thank you for pointing out the ridiculousness. Rehab wasn't used because he said a word. Rehab was to make clear that negative thoughts about gay people are unacceptable. What might YOU not be allowed to say next, out of fear for your career? What "buzzword" is going to tip people off to the idea that your THOUGHTS are unacceptable?

"I think homosexuality is a sin."
"Abortion ends a life."
"Mulim terrorists want to kill us."

The public is not required to respond favorably to anything Ann or you has to say.

Or the Dixie Chicks for that matter...

I suggest Logic for Dummies...

" Ann Coulter took 5000 giant leaps backwards yesterday and embarrassed conservatives in the process. That cancels out her thousands of stepe forward."

It cancels out nothing. When Liberals/ the MSM/ MSDNC 'Conservatives' use Cindy Sheehan, the Jersey girls, Michael J. Fox, Cleland to slime Conservatives, RINOS like Hagel hide under their desk. People like Coulter, Limbaugh have the guts to speak the truth knowing full well the MSM will try to clobber them.

"You can spin it all you like but all your really doing is using a backhanded way to call anyone who didn't like what she said, stupid."

I don't mean to be backhanded. If people can't see this for the joke that it was, they are stupid. Full stop.

You are stupid and a hypocrite and probably a troll.

Is there even one Giuliani supporter who has come to the support of Ann Coulter on this particular incident?

I don't believe I have seen one. But I may have overlooked a name or two.

My sense of it so far is: if you are Giuliani groupie, you have have bashed Ann Coulter for her words about Edwards. There appears to be a one-to-one correlation.

You are either a troll or unbalanced.

Or maybe he/she doesn't agree with you?

I seem to detect a pattern here.

Wow. This is pretty eye-opening. I ask these folks if meanness and hatred are what they consider to be conservative values - and they don't even respond to the question.

It's like they have no interest in discussing this - they support the below the belt stuff that Coulter does and are either unable or unwilling to talk about what that means.

Just because liberals are mean - is no reason for conservatives to me.

Michelle Malkin is correct. Ann's comments are not helpful. I would hope that in the future she is not invited to speak at CPAC. She has become a political liability.
