I don't think honesty is the problem. The problem is that there are a group of people - albeit a minority - who are very willing to call in the Inquisition against any perceived heresy. A political party that requires a mass electorate for victory is not going to get it if they are constantly reducing to an ever more distilled minority.

And you are not seeing what is going on. The problems isn't those saying she shouldn't have said it. I, for one, think the joke flopped (and it was not a smear aimed at homosexuals, btw, but a reference to speech codes, the Isaiah Washington incident and Edward's metrosexuality).

The problem is those demanding she be driven from polite company, (actually be made to grovel apologetically then driven from polite company) while, Edwards, who has actually hired and defended true bigots gets a pass. While Joe Wilson -- a proven liar and arguably a traitor-- gets a basically innocent man convicted of a crime and is given a movie deal. While, liars and smear artists like Michael Moore and Al Gore get Oscars.

I'm sick of it.

Keep fighting Annie!! Never apologize!!

I'm confused.

I thought you were all for burning Ann Coulter at the stake.
