Are you saying we can call a spade a spade again?

Bingo, and nobody is going to put the nation's security into the hands of a faggot.

Exactly.

She's not stupid.

[citizencon]

She was so taken out of context; but this is just what the Edwards camp needs to deflect attention from the more outrageous slur made by his workers against Christians. Typical ...

[jocko12]

But Ann is right.

to give them the vicarious pleasure of making it respectable again.

I doubt that. It's not THE word that should be the focus but the reaction to the non-PC word - it was to show clearly the difference in reaction from the left - from when a conservative uses non-PC language/written word/action vs. when a libs would does it.

We all know it. why so many fall in line to denounce Ann with the libs tactic is beyond me. You can almost hear the 'rats laughing, "they fell for it again". And they do fall for it because they focus on the 'word' instead of the reaction from the left which is hypocrisy.

so comparing Edwards to gays is a slur?

I've maintaned for a very long time that all this gay stuff can't last. This is a small bit of proof.

Anti-gay is built into us, at least into the male, in time the gay stuff will crumble.

A lot of damage can occur, of course, but eventually gays will be gone, replaced by real men.

You're alright as long as you don't say ***(*%*) because then all hell will brake loose.

[garbanzo]

Sorry you missed the point, and think that of people here on this forum.

Why else are people cheering Coulter on? How brave and noble is it to use a gay slur like that? Any fifth-grader can do it. And when you read the other posts on this thread, it's pretty clear others seem miffed at not being able to use the "n-word" without criticism so I think it's valid point. Most adults understand that certain words and phrases are not a part of meaningful adult dialogue. If she'd gotten on stage and used a variety of four-letter words and graphic descriptions of sexual organs and acts would you consider that be appropiate? Why use other vulgarities as well?

[garbanzo]

why so many fall in line to denounce Ann with the libs tactic is beyond me.

Maybe because in this case they're right. The fact that the left is inconsistent with their behavior is no cause for us to be as well.

[garbanzo]

I probably know why you said that, and if it's the reason ... Guiliani should also be toast .... both sides ... burnt.

It's less _that_ and more a general charisma thing. Newt has good ideas, but he's not telegenic in the slightest.

[Dante3]

Good for Ann.

[Pravious]

"If the word faggot is not out of bounds why is this author spelling it with an asterisk??? F*ggot??"

Precisely my thought.

[cincinnati65]

Only because I feel that you will not use them as much as Ann Coulter, I can't issue you a 25,000 PC credit, as that may tax my PC restoration resources. However, accept this complimentary 500 PC credit, and feel free to flaunt it in your favorite liberal's face.

I don't listen to her anymore. She once was a breath of fresh air, now she's tiresome and worn out. She was fun - now she's not.

Like any shock jock, she's run out of original thought and innovative material. So, she must debase herself and the conservative cause to get press coverage. Pathetic that instead of skewering the trial lawyer on his policies and prompting debate on his dangerous positions, she turns into a pre-pubescent teen, calls him a name - which gets him POSITIVE press.

She's so pathetic and needy of attention, I expect any day to hear that she's signed on to do a reality tv. show about her life. Then we can all turn the dial to watch her barf and fart.

[Chickensoup]

You answered your own question, although the premise is invalid.

How?

[presently no screen name]

It's NOT about the word. Don't the rats know the conservatives hold themselves to a 'higher standard'? Therefore, they use it against us time and time again - and it isn't ONLY speech.

Just look at the world we live in - how did it get that way? Who allowed it? While the 'higher standard' crowd sat quietly by so not to rock the boat. Always obedient. When the rats aren't in power they still call the shots. Conservatives - well we are just 'too conservative' to do anything. We know right from wrong but we are just too conservative to do anything about it - after all, we don't want to stoop to their level - is always a feel good response. We will have our say at the ballot box in a few years. Yawn.

Good evening.
"so comparing Edwards to gays is a slur?"

If you were homosexual wouldn't you consider it a slur to have an ambulance chasing metrosexual compared to you?

Incredible - such surface thinking. They are miffed - the whole thing went over their head. Keeping the concentration on the wrong thing and they will continue to be miffed.
