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.

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!!

The two things are disconnected. We are supposed to operate at a higher standard than the liberals - that's one of the reasons why I signed up for conservatism - partially because they are base, venal and disgusting.

We should not ape their behaviour - particularly when our vocabulary is much better than theirs and can be used to deadlier effect.

Thank you for saying what you said the way you said it!!

I am not super-intelligent nor super-educated but I got what Ann was saying when she said it. Amazes me how many think she was calling Edwards gay.

And what's with all the Repubs apologizing for her? They should have done what Obama did and say they would not apologize for something they did not say...

LOL, notice that the ones that are the most offended by Anne are the wacko RUDY supporters?

I could not agree more Tribune. I wish Canada had a ~tell it like it is~ personality like Ms. Coulter.

I am absolutely sick of it.
