Now comes the hue and cry: predictably from Democrats, whose blatant hypocrisy drips from their chins; and sadly, from Republicans, who are so cowed by the threat of bad publicity from the mainstream media that they cannot even bring themselves to mount even the most tepid defense of Ms. Coulter.
All of which proves her point: a Republican cannot use the language of slander to publicly criticize a Democrat without creating a controversy; while Democrats who routinely slander Republicans do so with impunity and with the approval of the media.
From now on, it's John "Faggot" Edwards.
Pity that she didn't have an equally stinging and sticky label for Hillary.
Post #41 well said!
amen
All she did was use "John Edwards" and "faggot" in the same sentence.
The Facts
1. Why is it fine for the Democrats to condem Republicans, but not Republicans to condem Democrats.
2. I have not heard one Democrat deny that John Edwards is a Faggot.
3. Are Democrats angry that Ann called John Edwards because he is a Faggot or do the Democrats wants America not to think he is a Faggot?
Clearly the left believe being a "faggot" a slur. Intolerant bigots.
She knew there'd be a predictable knee-jerk overreaction -- BECAUSE the liberal mainstream media has lost all ability to make VALID discriminations and distinctions.
To the mainstream media, her statement is the same as 9/11/01.
So all it takes is for one person to get hysterical and all the rest stampede trying to outdo each other in their righteous indignation.
It's so easy to push their buttons -- and incite the latest mass media feeding frenzy.
No Pulitzers here, folks.
It's disgusting the way political correctness has permeated these threads.
Ironic that the only person willing to *openly* take her side is a homo. Sort of like black people being able to call each other names that would get a white person shot in a second.
The emperor has no clothes, indeed.
I remember an old country saying from way way back.
"There is none so blind as them that WILL NOT see".
Well, at least you did your best. (Chuckle).
I agree. This is much ado about nothing.
I had forgotten all about what Edwards tried to do concerning Cheney's daughter. And it was far crueler, homophobic, vicious and mean what the left did to Gannon, than Ann calling Edwards a faggot.
Good article, Jeff Gannon.
I believe that was completely intentional on her part. She allowed an inference to be drawn by those who routinely attack Republicans with vicious words (we're all heartless "Nazis" who want to starve little children and throw Grandma to the curb to freeze to death - how many times have we had to endure this crap?) while all the while adopting an air of smug self-righteousness.
To me, Ann Coulter's words have had this effect: they have revealed the hypocrisy of the Democrats and the cowardice of the Republicans. The Democrats are running around shrieking like a bunch of....pansies, while the Republicans have rushed to distance themselves from her, proving once more that they care far more about what their enemies think of them than about the truth.
Just for the record, I know a good number of "gay" people who I like very much as friends, and certainly don't consider them evil, even if I personally disapprove of their lifestyle. I will never hate people for simply being homosexual; I detest those who are willfully dishonest and cruel while pretending to be victims. That, to me, is the textbook definition of a "pansy". And yes, that's not the quite the word I would use in private, but it starts and ends with the same letter.
Probably for the same reason they were not outraged when Alec Baldwin said that the Speaker of the House and HIS FAMILY should be stoned to death, or when what's-her-name (Malvo), said she hoped Clarence Thomas would eat lots off eggs and bacon and have a heart attack.
Liberals are by their very nature the vilest, most hateful, condescending, hypocrites God ever put on this earth. They are the most dishonest, conniving, deceitful, unpatriotic, power-hungry group of malcontents one could ever imagine.
The mainstream (mass) media is really besides themselves these days that they can't get a lynch mob going "like in the good ol' days" -- without a few people saying, "Wait a minute -- let's examine the facts, instead of just the conclusions the manipulative, biased reporter wants us to believe."
A consequence of the Internet and universal participation, instead of the control by union and political bosses doing the thinking for everybody else -- is that the level of critical reading, writing, speaking and listening have evolved to higher levels that are impervious to the deceptions of the mass manipulators -- and they really have to find a new game, rather than persisting in the belief that there are still multitudes still out there who haven't seen their gambit before.
