"She obviously can’t behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. It’s not a lack of intelligence. It’s an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if it’s unflattering."

Geez. Who's he talking about? Cindy Sheehan? Rosie? The Dixie Chicks? Janeane Garofalo? Hillary?

Could be any one of them.

[Clara Lou]

"John Edwards says that he is interested in hearing problems that gays have. You would too if you had eight hairdressers."
Your point is weak. You don't have to be "gay" or a "faggot" to be incredibly vain.

[Strategerist]

So, Truman Capote has no chance of ever being published?

Oh, people with talent and wit get published no matter what they look like. Mark Steyn and PJ O'Rourke get published.

In the specific case of Coulter, no, she wouldn't - her shtick as "supposedly" attractive and being a thin blonde is instrumental to whatever success she's achieved.

[ajolympian2004]

She owes an apology to the American Conservative Union folks who invited her to speak at CPAC.

[Strategerist]

Geez. Who's he talking about? Cindy Sheehan? Rosie? The Dixie Chicks? Janeane Garofalo? Hillary?

I've noticed a desire and almost a pride among conservatives to have our own untalented ranting idiots to match the left. Escapes me why.

IMHO John Edwards and his "sue happy" ilk are one of the reasons that health care costs are out of control.

The union bosses are greedy lowlifes who are sucking the life out of this country.

It's time for both factions to get real.

[Thumper1960]

Those so-called conservatives who are all too insistent on going along to get along will get the nation's citizenry killed.

Political cowardice in the guise of propriety is capitulation.

[driftdiver]

"You're doing a Dixie-Chicks on us. "

Now why would you want to insult me like that. Shame on you for being such a low life.

"This hasn't got a thing to do with "free speech." Get real."

It has everything to do with free speech. Free speech doesn't mean you have to like what was said.

I guess we're just a bunch of hate-mongering mean nasty Republican conservatives in my house. We all got a chuckle from Ms. Coulter's line.

""Have you seen John Kerry and John Edwards? They're touching, they're hugging, they're groping. Even the 'Queer Eye' guys are going, 'Get a room!'" —Craig Kilborn"

Gee, I don't get it. Why would Ann use "Edwards" and "faggot" in the same sentence?

[rollo tomasi]

“Ma! Ma! Where’s my Pa?” One of Blaine's campaign ads when running against Cleveland

“Blaine! Blaine! James G. Blaine! The continental liar from the state of Maine.” Countered Cleveland

John Adams made bombastic charges that Thomas Jefferson was an agent of the French revolution and serial adulterer.

Jefferson countered saying Adams was a monarchist.

George Washington was constantly being referred to as a “would be king” by his political opponents.

And don't forget this jewel from the NY times :“President Likens Dewey to Hitler as Fascists’ Tool.”

And “Truman Tells Chicago Audience a Republican Victory will Threaten U.S. Liberty.”

If you can't stand criticism and insults in the political arena then get out.

[RaceBannon]

John Edwards says that he is interested in hearing problems that gays have.

Hey, John, you know how to get hearing AIDS?

From listening to homosexuals.....

[Mojave]

Your point is weak.

Your point is imaginary.

Ann makes an implication and the perpetually indignant shriek. Their side makes the same implication and you can hear the crickets chirp.

Silky Pony! I don't know ANY heterosexual male who brushes his hair for 3 hours a day! Would not enter the same restroom with him!

[Thumper1960]

Coulter pissed off the effeminate Right.

Maybe that was her intent.

[ajolympian2004]

I guess it's not going to sink in with many people here at FR. It's WHERE SHE MADE THE COMMENT! AT CPAC!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

But calling President Bush a dumbass, a drunk, and implying that he's responsible for the dragging death of James Byrd is OK though by the Left.

Besides, Ann didn't really call Edwards a faggot straight out. She merely used it in the passive reference. More hysterial by the hypocritical Left and conservatives too afraid to fight dirty.

[Enterprise]

"Coulter pissed off the effeminate Right."

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

[bray]

Since when do we buy into the word/thought police. Why do we have to consider some words ok while others are offensive. We are playing right into the hands of the PC crowd soas not to offend anyone.

Humor is offensive and especially invective humor which is what she uses effectively. It was a slam at Edwards' internet bloggers not at Edwards although he is a bit faggish.

Boy are we quick to throw our own under the bus.

Pray for W and Our Troops

[thegreatbeast]

I can't get over how prissy so many of my favorite bloggers have turned out to be. But they're all ar CPAC and it all becomes a circle jerk and a contest in puffed-up selfrighteousness seems to be just the thing.
Get a life. And try to write something of interest.
