Coulter's Slur Against Edwards Stirs Outrage
Many Think Pundit May Have Gone Too Far
Democratic presidential contender John Edwards hopes to make some quick campaign cash off a conservative columnist's slur.
Ann Coulter made the comment Friday while speaking to GOP activists attending the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.
"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. So I think I'll just conclude here and take your questions," Coulter said.
At first her audience seemed shocked, but then many started to clap.
Democrats were quick to condemn her remark.
Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee chairman, called on Republican presidential contenders to denounce the "hate-filled" comment.
"Republicans including the Republican presidential candidates who shared the podium with Ann Coulter today should denounce her hateful remarks," said Dean in a press release.
Edwards' campaign sent an e-mail to supporters calling the comment a "shameless display of bigotry." It asked supporters to help raise $100,000 in what it calls "Coulter Cash" to show Edwards can't be intimidated by such attacks.
Edwards' Web site said, "We must show that inflaming prejudice to attack progressive leaders will only backfire."
Bloggers spread the news of the slur far and wide on the Internet. It wasn't long before three of the best-known Republican presidential hopefuls also condemned Coulter.
Sen. John McCain, of Arizona; former mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, of New York; and Mitt Romney, of Massachusetts spoke against her remarks.
"The comments were wildly inappropriate," McCain's spokesman, Brian Jones, said, according to the New York Times.
The Times reported that Giuliani said, "The comments were completely inappropriate and there should be no place for such name-calling in political debate."
Romney also spoke at the event, where he jokingly told the crowd Coulter was a "moderate." But he did later denounce the remarks.
"It was an offensive remark. Gov. Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect," Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Mr. Romney, told the Times.
During her speech, Coulter said she was likely to support Romney.
Coulter is the same person who called outspoken 9/11 widows "self-obsessed," saying they enjoyed their husbands' deaths.
Coulter wrote in her book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," that a group of New Jersey widows whose husbands died in the World Trade Center act "as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them."
She also wrote, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."
I think Ann coulter should post here. She’d fit right in.

For what? Making insanely slanderous comments about a political foe?
Don't bother replying, I know what you're going to say. You're going to say she deserves racks for "being in our domes". Because that's the KC thing to say.

Frankly, I find it ironic/hypocritical that a "woman" sporting an Adam's apple, looking like a dude in drag, and acting butch (yet shrill) is calling out someone else as gay.
I'm no fan of Edwards, but Coulter is an idiot, regardless of her educational credentials.

SOme of you are just hearing about this? It's been on the news since Saturday?
She's trying to sell a new book. Take what she says w/ a grain of salt. I'm kind of surprised they asked her to speak at CPAC. She's as whacky as Moore is on the Left.

How is Moore so "whacky" and why would you even equate the two? Coulter speaks out only to sell shit. Moore spoke out because he lost his job and wanted dork's revenge.

Take what she says with a frigging PILLAR of salt, regardless of whether she's trying to sell a book or not. She's in the exact same category as Rush....selling her deliberately inflammatory (and intellectually worthless) opinions in speeches, books, etc. to her like-minded fans. Criminy, even the National Review finds her outbursts to be embarrassing.
Toss in the fact that she looks like Jack Lemmon doing a latter day "Some Like It Hot" bit...

I'm assuming that at least a quarter keg was consumed by you prior to the act. Personally, I think she falls into the "not enough beer on the truck" category.
Please tell me that you at least treated her like shit afterwards and stole loose change out of couch or something...

Yeah, yeah, I know "why do men like to characterize a strong woman as a lesbian?"...
Well, in this case, her strength comes from that Y chromosome she's packing.

Exactly. I Rack Scanners wife for being a highly effective bomb thrower. She never fails to get the ants scurrying about trying to protect their queen. Hell, she'll even draw in some of the more middle of the road types (s'up, Lab Rat?) and have them spewing the vitriol. Pure gold.
Mission accomplished, sweetie. You just sold another million books.

Only to her faithful, who would have bought her book anyway.
Same goes for O'Reilly, Al Franken, Michael Savage, etc.

Did you read the article?
Could SOME of the money be used for her surgery?
It'd be a nice gesture on Edwards's part.

Then you are a fucking fool. Straight up. Obama is the dumbest motherfucker who has ever run for President.

After she got fat? Do you mean to say that at one time she wasn't? Link?
Regardless, not saying he should divorce her. Maybe, I dunno', tell the sow to quit going for seconds and thirds at the all you can eat buffet table. Maybe get off your fat, lazy ass and hit the treadmill once in a while. Things like that.

Should he say that before or after the chemo treatments?

He's probably used to getting his ass kicked by his fugly wife.
Yea, he should have done the moral thing and sued the living horse fuck out of McDonalds for making her fat.
FTFY, douchebag

Of course, you forgot the obligatory "Sin, 2004" line underneath. That pic has been on the internets at least that long.

In addition to the cancer, let's not forget that Elizabeth Edwards lost a son in a car accident when he was 16, then made the decision to undergo fertility treatment and bear more children in her late 40's/early 50's. Maybe, just maybe, those two facts have a little to do with her weight. Call it a hunch.

What, she was so emotionally devastated that she self-medicated with Ben & Jerry's?

If that's all she did after losing a child, I'd say that's pretty fucking good.

Not if you're taking it as an enema, as I'm sure Cuda is in the habit of doing.

Looks like Coulter has decided to claim insanity as a defense.
Coulter defended her comments during an appearance on Fox News' "Hannity and Colmes."
"It isn't offensive to gays. It has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said. "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."
