"This challenge creates a miserable dilemma for every GOP contender. If the candidate ignores the controversy, he looks gutless and paralyzed in the face of obviously inappropriate and over-the-top insults. If he condemns Coulter, he looks like hes wimping out to the liberal establishment and offends right-wing true believers who feel instinctively protective of Ann the Outrageous."
Medved, as usual, posts the dilemma in a way that biases the conclusion. Don't even need to read the article to know he's coming down on the side of wussing. The headline ought to be "Gays Shouldn't Be Demeaned By Conservatives." That's all he's saying.
And boy, does that sound like a PC thing to say.

"Conservatives Should Demean Gays"
Is that really the message you think should be put out there? Should our platform really include the mandatory demeaning of any group?

If by PC you mean Practical Conduct, then yes, it is a PC thing to advocate.
