Coulter utters the new f-word
World Net Daily ^ | March 5, 2007 | Tom Flannery

Will Ann Coulter never learn?

There are some things you just can't say, not even in jest. And at the top of that list right now is anything derogatory about the "gay" lifestyle or, worse yet, anything that is considered a slur against homosexuals, a protected class of people with special rights which entitle them to live free from all offense.

Ann surely should have known this. After all, hasn't she seen any of the countless films or TV shows produced by Hollywood in recent years which promote homosexuality as a perfectly normal and acceptable alternative lifestyle? Indeed, the homosexuals in virtually every one of these films and TV shows are smarter, funnier, hipper and more humane than the heterosexual characters.

Hasn't she seen or read any of the endless media stories promoting homosexuality in the same glowing manner, with never a critical word to be uttered? Doesn't she know that our schools are teaching children that homosexuality is a completely legitimate practice, and one we must all embrace and support as such whether we engage in it or not?

Yet despite all of this, Ann had the unmitigated gall to get up before an overflow crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, while the cameras were still rolling, and say this: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I – so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards."

Ann irritates the left in part because she is confrontational ... and the left thinks they own confrontation.

What bothers me about Ann's comment is that she's casting the "faggot" word around loosely, it seems to me.

Clearly Edwards is effeminate, as a viewing of his hair styling video (complete with Ann's comments ) leaves no doubt, but does that alone make Edwards a faggot? Not necessarily, unless someone has proof otherwise.

I think Ann needs to be more accurate with her terminology if she wants to maintain her credibility.

There's a guy at work we call the gay terrorist because he's a young ME male and queer as a three dollar bill. Actually, he's the Gay Clubbing Terrorist because he looks like he spends a lot of time in the clubs. Which he does.

Why is what she said offensive? Is it more offensive than Breck Girl or girly-man? If so, why?

Because the group of people it's aimed at believe it is offensive. I would guess that this group of people believe it is more offensive than Breck Girl or girly-man, but I don't know for certain. The reason for this is because the people to whom these terms are applied have the right to decide what offends them, and in what order. This is the usual way of insults - the people delivering them intend to be offensive, and shouldn't pretend to be surprised when the targets of the insults are offended.

Edwards should announce that he is "a gay American" for the bump in the polls (no pun intended).

I think he's going to try to ride this pony for all it's worth as it is.

My homosexual neighbor, who drives the elementary school bus, likes to visit the sheep barn at least once a day. Should I have any concerns? Concerned neighbor

Dear Concerned Neighbor
Only if they start running out of virgin wool.

. Ann!

Don't the Homosexuals have a saying, "I'm here I'm Queer and I'm in your Face".

I have a saying "I'm hetero, I'm retro, get the f--k out mah face."

You entirely miss the point. There shouldn't be any 'consequences' to free speech.

There should be no laws prohibiting free speech of any sort, and free speech should certainly not result in any criminal reaction. However, there is no reason to expect that there will be no consequence to saying something that others find offensive - the Dixie Chicks have been trying to use the free speech excuse ever since their lead singer decided to run her mouth. People have the right to say whatever they please - other people have the right to respond in any legal way they choose.

We want the left in a constant state of raging anger. As Rush said today, such a rage paralyzes them and, we want that to happen.

As I have said, The term fag comes from a 1785 British public school term fag: "a junior who does certain duties for a senior." As Howard EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! Dean's running mate, John "Silky Pony" Edwards will never lose the image he received as the go boy for his Alpha Male running mate.

Case closed.

You know, I didn't even think of that but I have never liked the way homosexuals try to depict their experiences as similar to blacks. The reality is that blacks did nothing wrong and were innocent in every way and to be treated as less human than whites is beyond evil; it goes against all of what God teaches us. Homosexuality is, on the other hand, an aberration and we are not to tolerate it. We love the sinner but hate the sin; not always an easy line to tow.

Thanks for the post. It was a lot easier to read than some of the others.

Faggot (epithet), a derogatory term for a homosexual or effeminate male

Seems to me that Edwards meets that definition pretty well. What we used to call a "pretty boy".

Oopps! I need to make a slight correction: As I have said, The term fag comes from a 1785 British public school term fag: "a junior who does certain duties for a senior."

As John Kerry's running mate, John "Silky Pony" Edwards will never lose the image he received as the go boy for his Alpha Male running mate.

Case closed.

But it wasn't aimed at a group of people. It was aimed at one heterosexual man -- and not even that as much as it was a broader point about a current events story.

Absolutely mind boggling that Freepers applaud this kind of talk from the podium of a major conservative political gathering. She has no class and her comments in this setting should be denounced. Wow this group is sounding so fringe as I read her defenders' comments on this forum. So much vile.

I can't believe it either. Actually, I do understand the great dislike and hatred of the left -- I'm on board with that -- but publicly calling him a faggot is unacceptable, and stupid politically.

And I wish I could defend Ann. I own two of her books, and have met her on two separate occasions, honored to have done so.
