Ann Coulter Fires Back at Critics Over John Edwards 'F aggot' Barb
Tuesday, March 06, 2007
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 "homo."
"'homo 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."
Coulter came under fire after delivering a speech Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.
"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'homo,'" Coulter said.
The slur caused a firestorm of controversy over the weekend and earned condemnation from both the right and the left. Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean demanded that the "Godless" author apologize for her "hate-filled and bigoted" remarks. The Edwards camp tried to capitalize on the hullabaloo by asking supporters to donate $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" to "show that inflaming prejudice to attack progressive leaders will only backfire."
John Edwards Hopes to Raise 'Coulter Cash' After Commentator's 'homo' Comment Howard Dean Demands GOP Candidates Denounce Ann Coulter for Referring to John Edwards as a 'homo' Republican presidential hopefuls Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani publicly denounced the remarks.
Coulter called the whole controversy another example of the mainstream media's "speech totalitarianism" and says she sees no reason to apologize for a joking comment that was taken out of context.
"What I was saying right there was for conservatives to not let the mainstream media describe us as anti gay and oppose Mitt Romney's policies for being pro-gay," Coulter said.
Coulter didn't spare the GOP hopefuls, either.
"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."

I see... it's really us who are derogating Edwards as a homosexual!

Pretty bad attempt at damage control.

Coulter & Rush are both on that slippery slope.
Their message, which used to appeal to 50% of the population, barely hits 25% now. Their approval rating (and demand) reflects what Bush does.
So, since Bush/Cheney is about as popular as cancer of the ass, they are doing everything they can to "get in the news" to keep their name out there. Cause otherwise, Ann loses book sales and appearance fees, and Rush's sponsors stop renewing for his radio show.
So what we're seeing here is Coulter doing something crass to get publicity. Due to her previous popularity it will work for a bit, and there will always be a 5% who love her. But another year or two and she'll be an obsolete punchline. Ann sucks. She's rude and uses personal attacks when her policies are hated by 3/4 of America.

Ann Coulter is so hot.. I bet she can talk real dirty in bed too!!!

-
I don't have children and I don't really know her, so I can't answer that question.
But that has nothing to do with my post...
Ann Coulter in bed: "Oh yeah Mr. Elephant, spank my hot Republican ass"... Now that's what I'm talking about;)

She's finally gone off the deep end. She would have been better off if she just ignored the firestorm. She looks like an even more delusional zealot now.
Mr. Intenseone is probably praying in front of his homemade Ann Coulter shrine right now.

i hate that stupid bitch. why do people still put her on their shows/events???
-
Actually, If Coulter thinks "homo" is deragatory to gay men, she is quite wrong.
The usual fallback on this type of hate is" It was just a joke".

Oops, I meant if she thought homo was not deragatrory she is wrong.

On this question, that hot little bitch is 100% correct.
