Ann Coulter put her foot in her mouth AGAIN at the C-PAC convention with a clumsy "joke" that she didn't want to have to go to "rehab" and thus couldn't call John Edwards a "faggot".
On Hannity & Colmes last night she tried to explain that she was "joking"; that everyone knows Edwards has a wife and kids and thus is "not gay" ( Of course Ann. Gay men never get married and have kids.) Her "rehab"reference was to Grey's Anatomy actor Isiah Washington having to apologize and attend sensitivity classes for calling Mr. Knight ( his co-star who is gay ) a faggot
not once, but twice.(Even though ABC was perfectly within its rights to make that a condition for his staying on the show.) She tried to wave off the whole thing by saying it was just a "schoolyard taunt". ( Well that's NOT where serious Conservatives want the debate to be
and Republicans are going to have a hard enough time winning in '08 without her stupid remarks.) Lastly she welcomed the criticism claiming that it would increase her popularity with her fans and help her sell more books. ( Which is obviously the only thing she REALLY cares about.) Incredibly, she claimed that Republicans were the "real pro-gay Party" because of anti-crime and low tax policies !!!! She said it. I didn't.
Well maybe not this time. Her biggest critics are now conservatives who were in attendance and were offended by her remark. All three Republican presidential candidates who were present condemned it. George Will has stated: "the less said about Ann Coulter, the better".
Michele Malkin was highly critical and challenged Coulter to come after her.
Afaic, this was just the latest stupid remark from this ignorant brat and far from her worst.The worst was probably when she said that 9/11 widows were "reveling in" and celebrating the deaths of their husbands and calling them "harpies" among other things.
Her books which she touts as "scholarly" works have been shown to be anything but. In TREASON she tried to paint Joe McCarthy
(McCARTHY ! ) as an American "hero" for exposing Commies in the U.S. gov't (while ignoring all the damage he did) and the fact that HE never actually exposed a single Soviet mole which we NOW know had infiltrated the State Dept. Likewise, she sings the praises of J.Edgar Hoover while ignoring all of his sins and peccadillos and who in fact completely failed to uncover a single Soviet agent and who was so busy chasing Commies that he let Organized Crime run rampant in the 50's and early 60's. Likewise, her book GODLESS is nothing more than a silly screed against multi-cultural tolerance and the attempt by some of us to maintain a secular state.
I think she gives Conservative thought and ideas a bad name and wish she'd shutup. "Schoolyard taunts" and other juvenile rhetoric have no place in civil discourse and serve no useful purpose whatsoever. The politics of 9/11 widows who supported Kerry and criticized Bush can be countered without cheap shots about things which are absolutely none of Coulter's business.
She doesn't even follow the rules of her own web-site which do not permit name calling or personal insults of the hostess. What would be added to serious political discourse by calling her a "horse's ass" or commenting on her anorexic appearance ?
Therefore I'm going to anncoulter.com and will post on her free forum. Without name calling or personal insult I'm going to call her out and see if she can take it as well as she dishes it out. I invite everyone who feels as I do to do likewise but ask that you NOT get down to her level and name-call or insult. Just slap her in the face with factual correctives to her blather and pull her panties down on her own web-site.
