Slog - Comments on Coulter on Edwards http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/coulter_on_edwards So Ann Coulter called John Edwards a faggot. The video is up over at ThinkProgress. Here's what she 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. She was at a the Conservative Political Action Conference--along with some GOP candidates for president--and the crowd, naturally enough, broke into loud cheers. Har har--that guy married to the woman with breast cancer? Total fag! Hilarious!...

It is the countenance of a creature being dissolved from within by the acid and bile of Abomination.

Got it.

Republican family values in action, folks.

This woman is a caricature, a Saturday Night Live version of what a conservative is. The trouble is, she attracts those people who feel that way, which pollutes the conservative movement, and turns it into a parody of itself.

Not that conservatism has any appeal to me personally, but it would be nice to have something intelligent to bounce your values against. But conservatives - at least those in the popular media - can't debate, can't discuss, all they can do is talk over you with dumb insults.

I have never seen her naked, but I am guessing she also has a big dick. Ever notice how all the trannies have big dicks?
If Edwards is a fag, is there any way Obama is too? Damn, I would pay to see Edwards and Obama on the same ticket, if you know what I mean.

She can go as far as she wants, and the farther the better for her fans. And she has fans, shaky-voiced, trembling, worshipping fans. They ADORE her. She could have them all chanting "Sieg Heil" with no trouble at all.

Can you imagine these assholes in charge in Canada or England?

Not to sound too dramatic, but today's Republicans have shredded our national identity over the last six years.

We're taught in school that the US historically has stood for truth, justice, the American Way, yadda yadda. Now what do we stand for? Hate? Hypocrisy? Lies? Corruption?

1. Make an outrageous and juvenile conservative comment in a public forum.
2. Watch it reproduce like a virus on every liberal blog on the internet.
3. Laugh at all the earnest discussions about how outrageous and juvenile your comment was.
4. Accept invitations to appear on popular mainstream media talk shows to discuss your outrageous comment.
5. Smile flirtaceously, show off your legs, and plug your latest book on said talk shows.
6. Go shopping.
7. Repeat.

The "moderate Republican" standing next to her, laughing and clapping, was Mitt Motherfucking Romney, the man who has been in favor of gay civil unions almost as often as he's been against them. Which is funny, because he's clapping the death of his own career. His presidential run, which is going to flame out, is going to make it impossible to go back to Massachusetts.

Uh, Original Andrew - I think you're confusing the U.S. with Superman.

Be that as it may, Coulter is simply proof that, if you're a Far Right Republican, you CAN "fool all of the people all of the time", if by people we mean anyone of the same socio-political persuasion.

At first, I wasn't going to listen to Miss Coulter, but then I heard the clip on Rachel Maddow (gots to have me my Rachel) and - based on my years spent in hotel ballrooms, half-listening to various speakers - it was an uncomfortable moment, with only a few doofuses really cheering, and some tepid polite clapping.

Either that, or there just weren't that many people in the room.

They weren't pleased when Kerry used the word lesbian in reference to daughter Mary.

She is a pregnant, unmarried, woman in a relationship with another woman who is above questioning - at least in her parents eyes she is.

Yet, the proud grandparents go straight to the till to collect funds raised by Ann Coulter who is encouraging violence against non-heterosexuals. Thier preggers daughter sure is a cash cow for the Republican party.

OH - but don't overlook the Democrats. The Edwards campaign response was an email alert and a call to raise $100,000 in "Coulter-cash." No connections are made to the 72-year old man beaten to death with a lead pipe last week and the promotion of violence.

Is it worse to call someone a macaca or a faggot?

What do the other candidates say about inciting a political conference with violent words? His response is just about as vile as anything Coulter says and as transparent as the faux concern of the Vice President's family about the treatment of their daughter.

Two more years of homo road kill on the way to the white house. Vote Democrat!! yeah, right....

Edwards is great, and a cutie pie, and right on too.

But Coulter is over the top.
Some of the posts here about her are over the top too.

So what if she is tranny? Fuckheads. She is marketing her mouth, many people do this our culture.

Good money if you can get the attention via mouth.

Hate her politics, her books are trash, but some of this trashing is way over the top.

If some Lesbian were eating her .....needs a good fucking....huh....how sexist and ugly and not about Coulter.

As long as there is FOX there will be Couldter, or her mirror. And, I think that is just the changed shape of things.
