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.

Bryan Preston of 'Hot Air' -

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.

This is about choices, obviously. To me, kindness and common decency are conservative values - values to be conserved. Ann Coulter doesn't fit the description. She is mean and that is the image she presents of what conservatism is. It shows a lack of character, imo.

[Arrowhead1952]

Worth repeating.

this hub bub here is nothing more the POLITICAL CORRECTNESS...which is slowly destroying America....The DNC does this stuff all the time..and gets away with it.

See this FR thread.

"LOL, No it was 30, can you believe it someone else besides me actually showed up."

Sure that wasn't his Mom?

[cinives]

So what ? Do you think Duncan Hunter's speech was going to get any attention by anyone other than conservatives even if Ann wasn't speaking ? I haven't seen a word even on this forum about its content.

If you are so offended by the time spent discussing Ann, why don't you start a thread on DH's speech and give that some attention ?

[steve8714]

Yes, it was.

[Sunsong]

Do you want to hurt people's feelings?

[HEY4QDEMS]

I think it was Helen Thomas.

[ajolympian2004]

I'm looking for the video. Do you have it or a link to it???

[gidget7]

No she didn't, correct. She was referring to his political stands and his constituents, not him. Talking about him would include saying who follows him and what he wants to enact.

Do you think that the far right should be known as haters?

"My flame suit has actually started melting."

Good.

Ann? .....Is that you???

[Sunsong]

Reagan was not over-the-top or mean. Reagan was a real gentleman. He was gracious and used common decency in dealing with others.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hardly a new low. While Ann may have crossed the line, Mother Sheehan called Bush the "worst terrorist in the world" recently.

Assigning moral equivalence is what Democrats are good at. It justifies their anger.

Sadly missing more and more these days.

Someone had to go to rehab for the word faggot?? What Country did that happen in?? Is that why she said it? And our side is hiding under their beds??

It was some black actor fellow from a show called 'Grey's anatomy.'

I've never watched the show, but I think the homosexual on the show pissed the black fellow off and the black guy responded with the word faggot.

The black guy got so frightened from what he feared the response would be that he went into rehab so his pc acting buddies would not ostracize or harras him.

Our country has come to this? :(

She is mean and that is the image she presents of what conservatism is. It shows a lack of character, imo.

Another Giuliani groupie shows up to bash Coulter.

You're all for "mean" as long as it's Rudy Giuliani who is being mean. That's because you and Rudy share the same set of political enemies--and not every member of that set is a Democrat. Far from it. Ann Coulter is a member of your enemy set.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Hewitt should enter rehab.

[Enterprise]

I've said that the Democrat-ick males in the House are a bunch of Nancy boys.

Luke21 YES, I think most conservatives agree with you.
