If you read what Ann said, it was mors about a commentary on political correctness than anything else. It's obvious she was referring to the P.C. firestorm caused by Washington saying he would not play basketball with "faggots" which resulted in him having to go to "REHAB".

Liberals are an infinite source of material for Ann.

She jumped the shark. She will have her defenders, but on this one she messed up.

She's doing just fine.

You are right. Some posters are taking themselves way too series. I love Ann, she's a riot, so smart and so funny. She has good taste in presidential contenders too, lolol.... GO ROMNEY GO

Ann is known for her sharp tongue. Why would anyone be surprised? What amazes me is that no one has sued her over it before. At least I don't 'think' anyone has.

Btw, welcome to Free Republic. :o)

Best-selling right-wing author Ann Coulter, speaking to a conservative audience in Washington Friday, called former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., a "faggot."

I realize there is a bigger point to this thread, but WTF is going on in journalism when in this one sentence they can label Coulter "right wing author" yet there was not a "left-leaning" "left-wing" "leftist" or "liberal" to describe Edwards? This is where we are losing the war of words

Coulter's remark remark only works if it's funny and or true. It was neither. Ronaldus Magmus would never have made such a comment as would no person of manners. People with "class" don't make such public remarks.

They can't sue her because they'd then have to prove her WRONG....hardly possible.

The Breck Boy has had to contend with his prissy perception from day one - Ann did nothing new here.

The real question is "Does he or doesn't he?"

Public figures, including politicians, seldom sue because they must prove malice and that the statement made is patently untrue.

In the meantime, the burden of proof is not on Edwards. He cannot disprove a negative. If someone believes he is a homosexual he cannot prove otherwise. That is why it is a "cheap shot."

"It turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I'm kind of at an impasse -- I can't really talk about Edwards," she said.

I nearly wet my pants I laughed so hard.

Because he can't behave in a manly fashion?

"Ann Coulter is completely idiotic. Instead of the great speeches by a couple of GOP candidates being the news it's Ann Coulter. Take a look at john edwards campaign website. They are calling for "Coulter Cash" donations. "

Political correctness is not something I am willing to accept. It is an invention of the far left to limit free speech. If you are foolish enough to participate, it just means you have been brainwashed by the lefties. Ann is a hero for being one of only a few that shows enough brains and courage to openly oppose the ridiculous limitations the left wants us to live with.

Go Annie!

[Ann's schtick has gotten old. She is desperate for attention and headlines and lobs bombs solely because they get her attention.]

Seems to me we have more and more liberals on this once conservative web site doing what they do best, undermining conservatism.

As Conservatives, every aspect of our lives is a struggle against the drive of the Left to inflict their vision of socialism on the world. One either dallies in the struggle for freedom or one is immersed in the fight. Coulter immerses, therefore is a "warrior" in the struggle. Coulter's job is to whip up the troops. She succeeds more than fails. In the process, Coulter exposes the peripheral elements of the Conservative struggle to those of us who walk the walk and not talk the talk.

What great conservative politicians are running, all of them are liberals near as I can tell. Is there such a thing as a conservative politician anymore?

Howard Dean wants everybody in sight to recant?

Why?

I thought being a homosexual was a badge of honor for Democrats!

Why is Howard dean insulting homosexuals by saying somebody being called one is an insult? Is he a closet bigot?
