Yeah, dear old dad, sitting in a gay bar, dressed up like a dime store cowboy, looking to s*** somebody's d***. Let's give him the father of the year award.
Anyone else's dad doing that last night?
Why did you post this in the religion section?
I have deep suspicions about any Freeper that hangs out in gay bars. Period.
Ann's not stupid so I'm putting it down to some calculated move. On the other hand, words are merely words.
There are smiling bank robbers who treat everyone they rob with some measure of outward respect...they are still as immoral as the ones who curse the people they rob and cuff them with their handgun.
The Founding Fathers you speak of were, for the most part, virtuous and moral men whose morality was based on Christian principles. They would have probably flogged openly homsexual individuals amongst them because they took the teachings seriously...not because they hated the individual, but because they were wise enough to recogonize what certain life-styles and behavior patterns do to individuals and societies.
The fact is, gay life styles tear down the traditional chrsitian moral standard amongst us, the family, and the society. In addition, they are unbelievable dangerous to the people who participate in them. Any serious study of the health consequences asscoiated with that life-style will bear this out. And, though I do not know of official studies that bear this out, I do know of friends on the police force in various cities who tell me that among the worst crime they come across on a genral basis, delving into out and out mayhem, come out of that community.
So, for me, this issue along with abortion and a two or three others like immigration, gun control, and national defense are all single issue for me. An individual for whom I vote will have to get them all right. All are indespensable to our contiunued prosperity, peace, and liberty and I will vote accordingly.
I do not have to be hateful to make these pronouncements or statements, but I am wholly committed to them and firm in these convictions.
There are a bazillion other issues of substance, none of which are effected by Ann's remark. Like her written remarks regarding the 9/11 widows, this one has been siezed upon and amplified as if folks concerned about the issues will change their minds. By and large they won't, and if they do their convictions eslewhere might as well be baseless. We don't expect apologies from the left when they hurl insults. Why should we expect them from the right?
Discussing politics in a bar, especially with strangers, is never a good idea.
Did you ask anyone directly what they thought about Coulter's comment? Or are you assuming they will all be offended? I'm curious - not challenging you.
I used to talk to my gay uncle about this kind of thing when I worked for him as a teen during summers in San Francisco.
It came up mostly because my dad is fun-loving biker and a slur-a-minute kind of man, and because he's of the thinking that people are too sensitive about it all: he even has a special nickname for my hubby based on his 2 main ethnicities and that he uses when he's in an especially good loving mood. At risk of being banned by someone who thinks this is terribly offensive: it's McWop.
My gay uncle and his gay friends (oh, and the prostitutes that worked up and down the street outside the business) could have cared less about the slurs. Whether a straight friend or a stranger called them queer or what not, they enjoyed the attention. I do remember they preferred some terms over others: like queen and queer. As for Ann's word - that is what they called each other with a wink and a smile. It was all very eye-opening to say the least.
And of course, this isn't to say that ALL gays have thick skin. Some types (regardless of sexual orientation) are offended by EVERYTHING, I've learned. Like Rosie!
An interesting read. I have absolutely no problem with Annie's remarks because I know she called no one any names. Quite to the contrary, she was illustrating the hypocrisy of PC.
I imagine most homosexuals already recognize this as well...
So exposing your sister to a lifestyle that lowers your life expectancy 20 years for cheap drinks doesn't bother you?? Perhaps you should stop throwing stones in that glass condo.

2. When folks register shock at shocking things Ann says, I usually disagree, although sometimes very, very mildly.
3. Here, I agree with you. Coulter has a lot to say to everyone, things I really want people to hear. Stuff like this shocks for the sake of shocking, accomplishes nothing good, only shuts doors.
4. It is painful to see someone you like and respect, with a 98% good payload, disarming the whole by some foolish little misfire. Afterwards, all that is remembered is the misfire.
Rubbish!
Frankly, I'm always suspicious when you go to the person's profile and there is nothing there.
It is like they want to be "Drive-BY Commentators", where they shoot a thought, an insult, and are gone before you can see the tail lights go out of sight.
It helps to know a background, as you can see why they have a point of view.
A faggot is a bundle of sticks or branches. What's wrong with Coulter calling Edwards a bundle of branches? Is this some PC environment thing?
But it's OK to call me a Nazi? A terrorist? Gun carrying wacko?
Cry me a river.
Maybe this video will provide some context to the joke

Ann Coulter doesn't know where to draw the line - let alone not to step over it. She should be denounced as Michelle Malkin has done.
The gay community asks for tolerance of their beliefs yet are intolerant of ours....who are the prejudiced ones? When I am in California I am treated with intolerance and curiosity because I am from the South, especially gays...
Do not throw your pearls before swine....
This Log Cabin Propaganda, made me puke a little bit.
