I'm positively amazed at all the serious American conservative voices who are throwing right-wing flamethrower Ann Coulter under the bus for her schoolyard joke about political correctness and the word "faggot."
The snorts of disapproval and huffs and puffs are pouring in. "I was not amused." "She hurts the conservative movement." "We should never name-call." "She was a distraction from the serious straw poll that featured strong showings by Romney and Guiliani." And on and on...
Why are so many conservatives afraid to fight back?
Time and time again, we're called a variety of names by liberal Democrats. We wag our finger at them and warn them to stop calling us Nazis and liars and warmongers and the like.
So when one of our own gets under the skin of wimpy liberals, we burn her at the stake?
I hope everyone who wants to bash Ann Coulter had a chance to see her on "Hannity and Colmes" last night. As the videotape proved, her entire speech to the CPAC crowd included a series of zingers and punchlines and potshots at the other side. And as she said on the show, her joke was intended to be a commentary about the idiocy of sending a Hollywood actor into rehab because he used a bad word. Besides, unless John Edwards was preparing to announce that he's coming out of the closet, the happily married man with children should have no real worries about being called something he's not. She intended it to be the schoolyard taunt of "wuss", something said all the time.
Well, I'm not going to cave with the rest of the weenie liberals and pompous conservatives who like to eat their own. I think Ann Coulter is gutsy and terrific. Besides, she's a commentator, not a U.S. Senator.
All she did was mock the evolving PC mindset. She didn't directly insult Edwards, so there's nothing to defend.
Right on.
The guy from Gray's Anatomy did use the "F-Word." If Ann used a different word, the whole point would have been lost.
None of the above. She put the political world on its ear. And brought to attention the stalinist BS called political correctness. Where was the conservative outrage regarding that actor having to go to re-education camp? Where is the outrage of a republican frontrunner in the GOP getting kissy with disgusting left wing gay groups? Where is the equavalent outrage about the growth of "hate crimes" laws. Too many on the right have ceded 85% of the playing field to the left. I ain't one of the 85%.
And that is what the liberals went berserk and the sheep followed.
She's way too skinny, but seductive ... feminine and gutsy ... I know a few Freepers here (or used to be here) have bent an elbow with her.
Ann is the kind of woman you can call lady and chick ... and she's capable of frying your @$$ with words that you come away with, "Wow" ... even though you've been toasted both sides like a micro-wave ... from the inside out.
I wonder .... how many of us instinctively rocked on that line until later when we started hearing that (gasp) there was some controversy !
I know I wouldn't mind making her bacon and eggs in the morning (God knows she needs 'em), and listening in to her commentary while reading the newspaper ... and I'd by God miss her when she left for work.
Nope. And he didn't sprint to a mic like the rest of the posers in Schumer-esque fashion and denounce her either.
Ann Coulter '08!!

P.S. Welcome, Ann ... we no longer demand your picture.

The funny thing is its an unfair fight between Ann and the entire democrat party. They don't stand a chance.

Not masculine enough to be gay.
Interesting! I was too. And I think that's around the time I started listening to Mike Gallagher.
