Ann Coulter Fires Back at Critics Over John Edwards 'Faggot' Barb
FOXNews.com ^ | 3/6/2007 | FoxNews

Posted on 03/06/2007 2:57:24 PM PST by TChris

Ann Coulter fired back at critics who demanded the conservative columnist apologize for comments she made during a speech in which she referred to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards as a "faggot."

"'Faggot isn't offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said on "Hannity and Colmes" Monday night. "It's a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss,' and unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."

By "flaming idiots" do you imply all idiots are gay or that gays are idiots? Gosh...I guess now even you owe gays an apology.

Ya. Buy them lunch.

"I beg to disagree...that's how I took it from the START."

That's how I read it. Nowhere did it mention that Edwards is gay.

[.. Whatever you think of her original comment, that explanation is unbelievably disingenuous. She must think people are flaming idiots or something. ..]

And she'd be correct.. The RNC is promoting Rudy McRomney as a conservative(S).. And many of them buy it.

She also said 20% of americans are conservative, 20% are liberal, and 60% are MORONS.. Except that 50% of conservatives are RINOs which make 90% of Americans are MORONS..

She missed an opportunity to label Edwards as a whining victimologist or something that would score points and not make conservatives look like bigots.

I won't concern myself about insulting or enraging the lunatics on the left - until AFTER they stop the 24/7 assault on the things I hold dear and rein in THEIR fire bombers.

Until then -- they'd better get used to the "incoming"...
In any kind of war -- folks shoot back!

Me too.

Not something an unmarried 45 year old woman normally calls a married man with children unless it carries the meaning of "wuss"

I don't know. When I was a kid and we asked someone to do something and they said no, we said, "what are you, a faggot or something?" Or, "you are such a fag."

Heck, we didn't even know what a gay person was. But we knew that a faggot was a wuss.

"Apparently our top three Republican nominees aren't that smart," Coulter said. "And by the way, if they're going to start apologizing for everything I say, they better keep that statement handy cause there's going to be a lot more in the next year."

Lovely. I can't wait, Ann. I look forward to a year of your diahrrea of the mouth, since it adds SO much to elevate political discourse and to promote conservative positions.

By the way, Ann, since you're so smart, they aren't the "top three Republican nominees." They are all vying to BE the Republican nominee.

I'm surprised she didn't use the old "I was just calling him a pile of sticks" line.

Or, "you are such a fag."

Now instead, just say, "you are such a John Edwards."

Guys call each other fags all the time, so what? She was pointing out that it now has become a hate crime to use the word.

I don't understand the uproar about this. Those statements are classic, true to form, Ann Coulter. Did those who invited her make assumptions that were stupid? She was just being herself! These type of comments and controversy, are who she is, and always has been.
