Are these bloggers right in criticizing Ann Coulter, or is it a case of being over-sensitive because of the expected criticism from the Left?

[msnimje]

She knew exactly what she was doing. She lives for confrontation and negative press. She will get invited onto all the talk shows to defend this statement.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

They are way over sensitive and I think what she said is funny.

[Clara Lou]

I think it was bad form on Ann's part. It was calculated behavior on her part.

Blogosphere Is Quick to Criticize Ann Coulter

Live by the mouth, die by the mouth.

But, hey, Ann, if you need mouth-to-mouth, cell me...

They're being way too sensitive. They need to abandon their womanish ways - they're acting like faggots.

You asked -- "Are these bloggers right in criticizing Ann Coulter, or is it a case of being over-sensitive because of the expected criticism from the Left?"

Well..., it's all about image. She could have said the same thing to the same people, apart from a public stage and they would have been laughing their heads off. But, in the public glare, they're running scared of the "f*gs". What a bunch of weenies... What can you say?

Ann Coulter's style is certainly not mine ... but the quivering squeamishness of these commentators is over the top.

The upshot is that one is not allowed to express any disapproval or disrespect toward homosexuals.

[FrdmLvr]

If you say faggot you have to go to rehab. LOL It's true.

[Chi-townChief]

Reminds me of Sean Penn's famous line: "They're all fags, mannnnnn !!!!!"

[Anti-Bubba182]

What does anybody go to hear at an Ann Coulter speech? They want something provocative. They want her to push the envelope. When I see equal protection for Conservative Straight White Men as far as public criticism in speeches, then I will worry about someone calling someone a faggot.

[Taichi]

It was a joke.
Do we have to worry about offending someone every time we open our mouths?

You know Ann wouldn't say it without calculating the reaction and it looks like she got what she wanted.

Who cares what the left says, we can't do anything right by them anyway and why would we want to make them happy?

[Tijeras_Slim]

I would have said "pansy".

[Zeroisanumber]

Ann's a stand-up comedian, not a commentator. No one takes Dennis Miller seriously, so why does everyone listen so intently to Ann Coulter?

[Bommer]

The Captain of Captain's Quarters opined

Yeah, that's just what CPAC needs -- an association with homophobia. Nice work, Ann.

"Yeah Ann! Thats MY job!"

[fish hawk]

I predict that Ann will end up being the only one this year that said something that "offended" someone and will not apologize for it. Go Ann "Kill their leaders and convert the rest of them to Christianity" , one of her best quotes ever.

"Are these bloggers right in criticizing Ann Coulter"

Hey! It's OK with me and it's also OK with me when they wet their pants. A little poo-poo is OK with me too, as long as I don't have to stand around and smell it.

[dan1123]

I get more uncomfortable reading the mealy-mouthed opinions of these bloggers than Ann Coulter's remark.

By skirting around a comment about the power of the homosexual lobby, they prove the power of the homosexual lobby.

[Proud_texan]

Uh, he's not?

[mkjessup]

Hey, what Ann says is up to Ann.

I'm just not sure of her intended target, I mean John Edwards might be a lot of things, but I doubt that he's a faggot.

Now John F'in Kerry? No, he's probably not a faggot, but DEFINITELY a ***MAGGOT*** !!!!

[Political Junkie Too]

So what does it mean when others call Edwards "Breck Girl"? Are they impugning his manhood by calling him a "girl"?
