Calling someone who is not a homosexual a faggot is an insult and no, they can't use it for that.

And that's what Ann did, so she goofed, agreed?

And all these folks saying it was *not* an insult are just playing games. Politics as a 'team sport'. Anns on our team, therefore she can do no wrong.

Yes and no. She did link it to the Breck girl, and he does look and act like a faggot, so I suppose she has the right to state her opinion, but on the other hand he is married to a woman, so her comment made no sense.
Her real issue was the censorship of words that allow a people to express themselves, and she was 100% right about the rehab thing.

I guess I'd have to say she was 90% correct to say what she said, but 10% in error about how she delivered it. It caused confusion.
