Idiotic. Disgusting. Stupid. Moronic.
I guess you could say that Ann loves to shock us, but at this point, who’s shocked? She obviously can’t behave well enough to attend a respectable political gathering. It’s not a lack of intelligence. It’s an indifference to self-control and a preening sort of narcissism that compels her to need the spotlight, even if it’s unflattering.
(For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s audio of her calling John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC today.)

***4:15pm update***
Ann Coulter just finished her riff on Al Gore, tossed out some cute jokes ("You can understand why Hollywood is concerned about global warming. You know what heat does to plastic."), and ended with a cheap one-liner about John Edwards being a "faggot." (Paraphrasing) She said she would refrain from commenting on Edwards because "if you say faggot, you have to go to rehab."
A smattering of laughter.
Not from this corner.
Crickets chirping.

Ann Coulter is speaking at CPAC as I write. As is typical, she gave a brief speech full of her usual witticisms, including a few brilliant attacks on Al Gore’s green hypocrisy. All was good. Untill the last few seconds, when she launched into a joke about John Edwards.
Here’s what she said.
“I’d say something about John Edwards, but if you say ‘faggot’ you have to go to rehab.”
I’m no fan of John Edwards, but that’s just a stupid joke. It’s over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying.
Last year it was “raghead.” This year it’s calling John Edwards a “faggot.” Two years in a row, Coulter has finished up an otherwise sharp CPAC routine with an obnoxious slur that liberals will fling at conservatives for years to come.
Thanks, Ann.

My comments... what should have been a day to celebrate a Reaganesque speech by Duncan Hunter, and good speeches by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee was overshadowed by an unhinged comment by Ann Coulter. She is an absolute idiot for saying something like this at CPAC.
Yeah, being civil has gotten us a long way, huh? It certainly helped us in the last election. I say, "Go, Ann, go!" Mr. President's "new tone" has been a bust.
You say that because she disgrees with Ann Coulter? Give me a break!
"Those who use the word 'faggot' to describe Mr. Edwards should spend hard time with the delusionals in our culture who call our president a chimp or a mass murderer. Not that I find the two statements morally equivalent, for indeed they are not. But it would be wrong to call Mr. Edwards a 'faggot.' That's all I'm saying.
"Others have called Mr. Edwards a 'Breck Girl' but that's skating dangerously close to calling him a faggot. I, for one, will not call him a Breck Girl or a faggot. But of the two, I will be most careful not to call Mr. Edwards a 'faggot.' So let this be my sworn, solemn promise to everyone, especially Mr. Edwards: should the whole world call Mr. Edwards a 'faggot,' yet I will not. I have never done so. I will not do so now, or ever."
Well said.
Yeah, where was the outrage when they used the word faggot, or when Eddie Murphy did it in his stand-up routine. ("I can't go to San Francisco! Pull over! Pu-ll over!")
"moderate Republicans who Reagan brought over"
I don't agree. Reagan brought real social conservatives to the Party. Your man was Goldwater. That's the standard you are looking for. You want a Goldwater party.
John Edwards is not a faggot. He may be a little Light in the Loafers, but he has a wife and kids so he certainly is not a faggot now.

I couldn't find it. I have very limited bandwidth here and do not want to waste a lot of time on this. Does this site have audio of her calling for impeaching the President because he is a terrorist or a liar or other false and vicious names?
"IF it adds some life to John Edwards campaign it will detract from Obama and Hillary. Wheres the downside?"
Edwards is looking at another VP position. He couldn't help carry NC as a VP candidate last time and he lost his own Senate bid there.
Edwards in the race will take away from someone. Question is, who?
Ivan, you usually have a good grasp of events, worldly and otherwise.
In this case, do you seriously worry that what Anne Coulter says may add life to Edwards' campaign? Edwards'?
ROTFL!
It IS revealing! Ann says the word "faggot" and the homosympatico crowd goes into meltdown!
You've noticed that where? Not on this thread.
On this thread I've noticed a bunch of people who don't want to offend, who want to "get along" with the Democrats, and who are willing to throw their own under the bus if they go against their wishes.
Gee, I just described a Republican congressman.
"And if you think sodomy is separable from morality and electing moral people, God help you."
I have no clue what that means.
I'm billing you for the coffee stain on my computer screen.
