Coulter: Edwards Campaign Manager 'Fronting for Arab Terrorists'
Editor and Publisher Magazine ^ | Published: March 05, 2007 11:00 AM ET | staff report

Posted on 03/05/2007 1:28:32 PM PST by meg88

NEW YORK Ann Coulter, fresh from implying that John Edwards is a "faggot," now has a statement on her Web site saying Edwards campaign manager David Bonior "is fronting for Arab terrorists."

Coulter made the slur about Edwards, a Democratic presidential candidate married to a woman, during a Friday speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Soon after, Bonior announced he was sending out a fund-raising letter seeking "Coulter Cash" to "show every would-be Republican mouthpiece that their bigoted attacks will not intimidate this campaign."

A copy of Bonior's letter was posted on Coulter's Web site, with this note underneath: "It's always good to divert Bonior from his principal pastime which is fronting for Arab terrorists."

Bonior was elected to Congress half a dozen times in Michigan, and served in Vietnam.

Universal Press Syndicate distributes Coulter's weekly newspaper column.

A spokesperson there told E&P today that Universal would not comment about something Coulter said outside her column.

The syndicate also declined to comment on what steps it might be taking if Coulter had used the "N" word instead of the "F" word.

Coulter's Friday remark went as follows: "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."

Audience members at the conservative gathering initially appeared startled

To be fair, the same could be said for James Baker.

Good for Ann. Don't back down to the PC thought police. What she said pales in comparison to Maher wishing Cheney dead. Besides, Edwards is the Breck Girl, and he is kind of a fag.

Yeah. How devious of them to not comment on a hypothetical from a muckraker.

Funny that they didn't provide this info:

Anti-Indiscrimination

"This isn't about money, this is about politics," former Rep. David Bonior (D-MI) said recently, flailing away at the mucky dust kicked up by his decision to keep campaign contributions from Hamas-, Hezbollah- and Islamic Jihad-supporting donors.

Chalk one up for the recently resigned Democratic House Whip now running for Michigan's statehouse: This controversy is about politics -- specifically, the politics of the money in question. Having raised, banked and retained $1,000 from Abdurahman Alamoudi and $3,200 from Sami and Nahla Al-Arian, Bonior has allowed supporters and promoters of terrorist organizations to further his political career. And what kind of politics is that? Not the best way to kick off a gubernatorial campaign. Or is it? You have to wonder what kind of signal Bonior thinks he's sending Michigan's sizable Muslim-American community by failing to renounce the support of those who openly sympathize with radical Islamic terrorists.

Google Bonior + Hamas and you'll find a lot more....

Couldn't expect the sorry excuse for the journalist(s) do that.....

In March 1997 Baker became the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Western Sahara...to say nothing of his deep roots in the Bush Dynasty.

It could. Bonior is a tad closer to an assortment of groups, including CAIR. And donors

Sami al Arian's son Mohammed worked for him. Of course dad visited the White House.

I mentioned this in passing on another Coulter thread.

I'm sorry to see her do this. The day after her faggot comment. The charge that Bonior is fronting for Arab terrorists doesn't hold water. And simply allows him to cover his relationship with marginal characters with right wing bigotry.

Of course if Ann does have information, she should pass it along to the FBI.

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

An effeminate male (say with a penchant for hair) can often be "married to a woman".

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

* Universal Press Syndicate distributes Coulter's weekly newspaper column



First statement implies that you cannot be gay if you are married to a woman.

Second statement implies that you cannot possibly support our enemies if you win re-election and have served in the military and...

Third statement is meant to motivate liberals to besiege UPS and get Coulter canned.

This idiot is as transparent as glass.

Whew! Glad this unbiased journalist without an agenda pointed this out!

You know, Mr. EastCoast Lib reporter, outhere in the flyover zone, there is no other kind of marraige, you arrogant elitist poofda. Someone with anykind of character would have written: "Coulter made the slur about Edwards, a married Democratic presidential candidate, during a Friday speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference."

There you have it right there ,Proof.

No man married to a woman could ever be queer.

Wait :How about Arrianna Huffington's husband.
Then again how about James McGreevy

Nah ,that had to be different because this publication flat-out states that Edwards cant be a faggot because he is married to a woman.

Now before you flame me I dont know anything about Edwards sexual proclivites. I am saying that using a wife as proof of heterosexuality is bogus.

Like that means anything. There are lots of instances of gay guys getting married and then later leaving their wives, or vice versa.

Notice how said sorry excuse makes the point that Bonior is not fronting for Arab terrorists:

A copy of Bonior's letter was posted on Coulter's Web site, with this note underneath: "It's always good to divert Bonior from his principal pastime which is fronting for Arab terrorists."

Bonior was elected to Congress half a dozen times in Michigan, and served in Vietnam.

See? Just as Edwards is married to a woman so he cannot be a fag, Bonior was elected and served in Vietnam, ergo he does not front for terrorists. Its not a non sequitor, its logic!

Where are Black Americans with outrage over the left-wing attempt to make of "faggot" and "nigger" equivalent insults. Homosexuals come in all colors and were nver persecuted in America. They were never slaves. They were never beaten and flogged. They did not suffer a Middle Passage from one continent to another--having as much as 25% of their kind die on the way. If I were a descendant of slaves I would be furious over the fags trying to co-opt "civil rights" as their mantle.

a Democratic presidential candidate married to a woman

Brings to mind Walter Jenkins, whom some might remember was LBJ's assistant. It was the autumn of 1964 as I recall. LBJ's Thanksgiving was ruined when he lost his gobbler, Jenkins, a married man who just couldn't refrain from hanging around men's rooms in D.C.

In sports, you *never* say anything to get the other side fired up. This is just giving them ammunition to use against us.

They already call conservaties mean and homophobes. Verbal slinging like this just will make it easier for them to convince some folks of that!

No surprise there, Bonior is a known traitor (and the idiot used to be my rep)

Back in the late 80's, I read an article (Nowak maybe) about Bonior being overheard on a Sandinista wiretap telling the communists about a US air drop location for the Contra's.

Maybe someone with Lexis access could find it.

"...show every would-be republican mouthpiece that their bigoted attacks will not intimidate this campaign...."

there goes another democrat insinuating that there's an attempt at intimidation. i wonder how many acts of intimidation mr bonior engaged in during his tenure as a congressman. and...where was mr. bonior when his democrats cronies used the words nazi to describe republicans and the words idiot, ignorant, red-neck to describe christians. where was mr. bonior when there were allegations that hillary! had fbi files and was using them to intimidate political opponents. where was mr bonior when mr church exposed the names of so many cia operatives with the result that they were compromised.

mr bonior and his democrat cronies could answer alot of questions but they never will.
