Ann Coulter's F Bomb

Quote:

Speaking today at the Conservative Political Action Conference, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter said: “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 ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.” Audience members said “ohhh” and then cheered.

No surprise, of course, that she's spouting this kind of garbage, but I can't seem to find this story posted with the AP, Reuters or CNN.com. I don't watch TV, so maybe they talked about it there? Is it that they don't think she's newsworthy or are they avoiding the whole controversy so as not to attach the word to Edwards? I don't know.

What's more fascinating to me is that she was cheered for her remarks by some in the GOP audience. Classy.

I don't have anything to say on the subject. Not only am I not a fan of the word, I don't understand why she used it in this context.

I've said this before, but I'll repeat it. I don't understand this woman. I hope it's a character. I hope she doesn't really mean the awful things she says and is just saying them for attention.

I love the word, and I used it to describe George Bush all the time. It's a perfectly acceptable political term, as far as I'm concerned.

I don't believe in hell, so I can only hope karma rips her throat out at some point, character or no character.

Coulter should be strung up on a lamp-post like Musolini and flogged. Or, at best, just ignored. Either way, this much I know -- the Far Right loves a potty mouth.

According to Mediamatters, she has also used this term to describe Gore in the past, along with calling both Clintons gay.

You'd think she was a twelve year old gamer.

John Edwards is teh gay.

She should get pwned. For real.

I actually read this on Faux News, and the article was faintly disapproving in tone. The cynic in me chalked that up to Republican tip-toeing about in this uncertain political clime.
