Thank you for reading this. I'm off to rehab.

It is amazing how it only takes one word to get a reaction from the Liberals and the "politcal correct" crowd. Ann, Thanks for speaking out and saying it as it is. I am impressed with her courage and strength to have good conservative values and principles and to stand by them. I hope that she understands the support from fellow conservatives and it helps her resolve to keep speaking out for conservative principles. Don't tread on me. (or Ann Coulter)

[radar101]

Now, I know I'm going to catch as much grief as Ann did, but here goes:

I would like to be a best friend to Ann Coulter.
Why?

The typical woman will say,"Wouldn't you like to go to (popular eatery) for dinner?"
For us ignorant men, we think, "No, I'd rather just stay home after a long day"
The translation of what was just said is,"I want to go out to eat tonight!"

With Ann--what you hear is the direct truth, translator NOT NEEDED.

[Esther Ruth]

I support Ann 1000% and spit in the general direction of all weenies here at FR who won't do the same :)

Thank you for reading this. I'm off to rehab.

Thank you for posting it. Good luck in rehab liberal-land.

Seriously, this has made front page, headline news, but something I find much more outrageous has been completely buried...

Congress-critter Barney Frank, chairman of a powerful house committee, actually made a joke on Bill Moron's so called comedy show on HBO, that it's a shame the bomb used by the terrorist was "wasted" by not killing Vice-President Cheney! Can you imagine the outcry had a republican or conservative utterred any such thing? Look at the hubbub over what Pat Robertson said about Hugo Chavez, and Robertson hasn't even run for political office in more than a decade!

You've got the chairman of House Financial Services Committee making a joke about the fact that Vice-President Cheney was almost assassinated!?!?!?! Never mind the idiot Maher publicly stated that he wished it would have succeeded: He's a "celebrity," who the hell cares what he thinks. But this is a leader of the democrat party! Where's the outrage over that? Why isn't there a call to have Frank removed, at the very least, from his chairmanship?

I'm outraged over this! Am I the only one on the face of the earth?

Good job, Kristinn.

The hysterical reaction on the left to Coulter's frivolous comment is to be expected. It is a cold and calculated hysteria, a tactical move designed the force the rest of America to bow before the idol of class victimhood--which is essential to achieving the left's wider goal of cultural and political dominance.

The hysterical reaction on the right, sadly, is a confirmation that the left's tactics have succeeded and succeeded spectacularly.

No better confirmation may be found than the contemptible silence on the left and the mewling and feckless submission on the right to Bill Maher's truly contemptible and vile call for the assassination of Vice-President Dick Cheney, which was made contemporaneously with Coulter's comment.

Coulter's comment has the redeeming characteristic of demonstrating the hypocrisy at work here, at proving in a a particulalrly forceful way that the right has surrendered to the left's assault on language and culture.

I have lost all respect for the self-righteous "honorable" commentators on the right--Malkin, Hewitt, the crew at NRO--who have joined the left in sledghammering Coulter while effectively giving the odious Bill Maher a high-five.

[trisham]

Good post!

[papasmurf]

I'll hold the door, and go with you.

First of all, the word fag and faggot are used in modern culture of youth as meaning jerk. Just as many blacks use the word nigga to each other to mean the same thing. Jerk is just too "nerdy" of a word for the hip to use.

Second of all, she diverted attention away from the dems non-important, non-news making headlines.

I give her a high five, and a chest bump!


:O)

[blinachka]

I think I need rehab as well Kristinn!

IMO, John Edwards IS kind of faggy...in his manner and speech even though he's not a homosexual. So Ann pointed it out to be able to make a crack about the thought and language police of the left who feel that any time someone says (or thinks or does) something they deem verboten, an announcement of a trip to "rehab" is all it takes to "fix" the problem. It's ridiculous!

[ErieGeno]

As I read Ann's comments, I read that Ann refused to talk about John Edwards? If she said, "I refuse to talk about John Edwards because, robbing banks will land you in jail, so therefore I won't talk about him", does that mean that she called Edwards a bank robber?

Meanwhile, it's OK that Edwards ancestors owned slaves!!!!!!

[Hatteras]

John Edwards is a homosexual?!

[Louis Foxwell]

The bon mots of Miss Coulter are always met with screams and outrage. In short course the cries turn to whimpers and are drowned completely. Ann is always a harbinger of truth telling. Her success is based on the simple notion that truth spoken boldly will always destroy the deceptions of PC.

[Jeffrey_D.]

Not I.........I love her!!! She speaks her mind with an off the cuff honesty that is very refreshing.

[TheDon]

It is with growing dismay and frustration that I am watching so many of my friends and acquaintances in the conservative community attack Ann Coulter for her comments pointing out that saying the word 'faggot' can get you sent to a rehabilitation clinic.

Those attacking Ann have become thralls of the MSM and the Demorats. It is safe to say they have become so unwittingly. What to do about it? Perhaps an intervention to keep them from watching the MSM, as they obviously can't do so safely.

[golas1964]

Thank You Ann!

[patriotspride]

Count me on your and Ann's side. The opposition thinks nothing of worse PC trashing, and will hype the I'm only joking when called on it...............

[chesley]

My only beef with Ann Coulter is that I find her a little bit wishy-washy, and far too tolerant of liberal nonsense.

Go Ann!! Nothing you can actually say to a liberal can truly describe the depths of their A)Stupidity, B)Depravity, C)Ignorance D) Greed, or E)All of the above.

[lady lawyer]

The media's reaction to Ann's comment simply proves its truth.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Ann Coulter has walked point for conservatives for almost a decade.

Hear, hear!

Treason points out that the use of "McCarthyism" as a smear is not only a smear of the immediate target but a smear of its first target. Joe McCarthy had his failings but compared to the journalists who distorted his words and lied about him, Joe McCarthy was a saint.

People head for the tall grass whenever McCarthy is mentioned. Ann Coulter doesn't. Instead she runs the facts of the matter right down the throat of anyone who challenges her on it. And because of that, you and I can do so too, simply referencing her work and the fact that factually it has not been rebutted. Lied about, yes - rebutted, no.

Thanks, Kristinn.

[Reagan Man]

Ann Coulter is GREAT!

Liberals beware.... go Annie go!
