I love Ann Coulter. She's great! We have a lot of foreignors (in other countries)bashing her as if they are just American as we are and they are not American at all in fact they are America haters and they stand behind democrats. This is sick!
This potty mouthed British dude is trying to brainwash the youth of america so that they will vote D when they're 18.
(nasty language to describe Ann Coulter)

I too have been surprised as to how many conservatives have lined up to throw Ann under the bus for her faggot comment in regards to Edwards.

What is most troubling is that while conservatives will be pressured to abandon Ann for her remarks, liberals for example would line up behind anyone of their thugs that were too call Bush, Cheney, Romney or Hunter a faggot or even worse.

[Prince Caspian]

Agreed. Part of the process of changing the midpoint in the political debate is to push the envelope of what is considered accepted or proper debate. Someone has to do it - Thanks Ann.

[Lokibob]

Anns remark was mild compared to the death threats to the VP on the Huffington blog.

I hope Ann continues to give them hell.

Off to rehab?

Whoa! Hold on there!

Shame on any of us for trying to screw the stones back on a painfully castrated language.

I mean, what right do we have (aside from the First Amendment, etc.) to even desire to so express ourselves in ways that those with skins barely a cell thick can take offense from, real or thespian.

Ann Coulter is a National Treasure, someone who refuses to be cowed by the cartwheeling tizzies of those who call for murder, mayhem, and unnatural acts to be perpetrated upon our ranks.

It simply amazes me that she has been subjected to such villification by those who (arguably) should have understood the joke, if not the reference to political correctness in general.

Hmmmph.

Watch where you cast your pearls...

I don't know if John Edwards is a practicing homosexual or not.

But I do know he's gay.

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

Copy that.

[Jim Robinson]

Count me solidly in Ann's corner. Go Ann Coulter!!

(Will I get in trouble if I urge Ann to diss the nancy boys and make them cry?)

[CaliGirl-R]

I'm on Ann's side. I THOUGHT the word was spoken in relation to rehab.

Howard Dean is the last person who should ask for an apology.

I hope Fox News keeps her as Vice President Coulter on their new comedy news show. We'll see.

[Maurice Tift]

I can't believe Ann would say such a thing about an effeminate ambulance chaser.

[taxesareforever]

Anyone who attacks Ann Coulter is not a conservative. They might say they are but they aren't.

[pepperhead]

She should used Hillary for the joke instead.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I hazard that many of your friends and acquaintances in the "conservative community" who have gleefully offered Ann up for sacrifice are the self same individuals who would have attended an Eddie Murphy concert and laughed themselves silly at his material.

The only reason they are so quick to grab pitchforks and torches is they see an opportunity to jump up and down and say "Not me, I'm not one of THOSE, I'm a GOOD conservative. Love me, PLEASE love me."

As if placating the left will do anything but make you look weak to an enemy (yes, enemy. One hostile to another; one who hates, and desires or attempts the injury of, another) who already wants to destroy you. And your weakness assures them their plan is working.

Ann has always been in your face and aggressive. If those of you who are wringing their hands and chewing their lower lips in fear of "Looking Mean" haven't realized that before now, you're an imbecile. Take your whiny asses somewhere you won't be offended.

Might I suggest Iran? Seems they have a record of dealing with those who they find offensive you might find admirable.

[Darkwolf377]

I have criticized certain positions Ann has taken in the past, but it truly astonishes me how much noise this has caused. Wow, she made a crack about someone being a faggot. What's the big deal?

The big deal is we have "news" 24/7 that isn't putting out information and facts, but "sizzle." Anna Nichol is not as hot a story as it was, Al Gore being revealed (again) as a bigmouthed hypocrit isn't "sexy", but a pretty blonde calling a third-place presidential candidate a faggot, now that's something we gotta talk about!

As if NO ONE has looked at Edwards and thought the same thing...

And that's usually what gets Ann in trouble: Saying what many people think but don't have the cojones to say out loud.

[philman_36]

Her friendship is now being repayed by FReepers who want her driven out of conservatism.
...by SOME FReepers...
Don't count this vocal ogre in with their numbers.

[ScubieNuc]

Thank you for your post. I too will stand in Ann's corner. She has more smarts and b*lls then most of those who call themselves conservatives.

Ann, thank you for not cowing to the PC sensitive wussies.

Sincerely

[IrishRainy]

I love Ann Coulter, and in my opinion she has nothing to apologize for.

In the first place, she's a columnist, NOT a politician. She's not running for office so who cares if some people are outraged? Did anyone cry out for Molly Ivins to say she was sorry when she wrote all her disgusting comments about Bush? Of course not.

And what's the big deal, anyway? Is it bad to be gay now? I mean, the liberals have been telling us for years that it's just a normal lifestyle, so she mentions Edwards and faggot in the same sentence, and all hell breaks loose.

And isn't this the same guy who quietly rehired those 2 Catholic-bashing bloggers after their hate-filled tirades came to light? What THEY said was 10 times worse than what Ann barely hinted at, so the Breck girl can just shove it, as far as I'm concerned!

[Irish Rose]

I think Ann Coulter's comment on Edwards was tasteless and inappropriate. John Edwards is not homosexual; Ann was just insulting him, and employing an epithet to do it.

That doesn't mean I want her "driven" from conservatism. I'm not going to stop reading her columns every week or burn any of the four books authored by her that I own. When I re-read my favorite passages of those books, I'm not going to enjoy them any less because Ann called Edwards a mean word.

Do you know what I think? I think Ann Coulter is one of the best voices of conservatism. I think she's incisive, witty and gutsy. I think she's brilliant. I also think she shouldn't have called John Edwards a derogatory and untruthful term like that. The views of this don't have to be extreme.
