There's no defense. Ann made a dumb comment and used an epithet that isn't suitable for polite folk.

The war raging in America isn't being fought by "polite folk against polite folk." It is being fought by truth tellers like Ann against liars like Kerry and Edwards. If the term faggot is too harsh for you, then your place in this war against conservative values is not on the front lines, where fire is fought with fire.

The first casualty of war is truth. The truth is that the word faggot is revolting, but revolting is what homosexuality is. Killing the word faggot, makes homosexuality more palatable for the masses.

What is also true is by trying to couch gross immoral acts in kinder language, people become more accepting of the behavior. This is amplified by the silence/hypocrisy in the media/left when people like Mahr wish Cheney was blown up.

Even in the most charitable reading, it was rude, it was nasty, and we should aspire to better.

You seem to think this war is being fought in a debate hall with Ivy league rules. The war for values is nasty, and what is better to aspire for then victory? Victory is obtained through truth and frank talk. Ann is a champion of that. Ann is an awesome weapon, tearing open the curtain and exposing the left's hypocracy. They can't take their own medicine, and she is huge pain in their side.

Ann GOP, your clock is ticking. If you can't take even the small fight with political correctness over the word "faggot" to the enemy. If the GOP doesn't start standing for something, and be willing to take the response of the left, then they will fall.

But Edwards is not homosexual and calling him one is not telling the truth. Ann Coulter just flung out an insult - a gratuitous, untrue insult.

We're talking about an election, not a war. You win it by bringing people to your side, not by killing them.
