Not to put too fine a point on it, but SOMEONE buys her books and goes to her speeches and watches her on TV. And, by all accounts, it's a fairly large number of people who do so. Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm betting very few of those people voted Democrat in the last election. You might not like her, but a fair number of conservative apparently do. Is it fair to tar all of you with that same brush? I suppose not, but it's hard to feel sorry for a group of people who do the same thing to "the other guys" all the time.


Just go take a look at the freepers' discussion threads about it. Not even 1% of the people who post there have in any way criticized her for it. It is almost universally a love fest, as usual.
I'll go on record here. What Ann Coulter said was wrong and inappropriate.

But isn't it interesting that so many of those offended here have no difficulty with derogatory name calling as long as it's directed at conservatives.

Derogatory it is not, understated more likely. But surely deserved!

The difference is I'm posting on the internet, and Ann Coulter is speaking at a Republican fundraiser, with microphones and tv cameras. I'm not dumb enough to say something that outrageous in front of a microphone. She has made a career out of bashing liberals with outrageous comments, and this time she went too far, and it bit her in the a**.

The Democrats should use her just as the right has used Michael Moore, and use some of her inflammatory comments in TV ads tying her to Republican candidates.

yeah, its called humor. look into it.

Good to know what words you use to describe homosexuals .. or are you wondering if Edwards is a bundle of sticks or a pack of cigarettes?

I don't use that term for homosexuals but when i was a kid we used to use it for wussies..pussies, geeks, etc ..same juvenile vein Ann was using it I'm sure since we are about same age..I just learned to be nice since:)

John Edwards is a bit effeminate more than Coulter thats for sure so really she speaks the truth... and it obviously hurts

shaddup lovely human or my dad will beat up your Dad!

yer mom wear combat boots!

Sorry I'm immature but I have heard so much dumb sh!t like war criminal about your president, Cheney is worse than Darth Vader (Actually I thought that was funny), Anything that lame Maher says i.e. better off if Cheney died. That Dumbarse Kennedy boy saying Chavez is "our friend." Their Jokers big deal I don't take them seriously. Although If I saw Maher on the street I'd pick a fight (verbal cause he has no balls!)

Liberals only see humor in demeaning Red staters, the Prez, Christians, and just their overall superior intellect over those same people.

Pretty much the sum of it as far as I see it. I'm neither liberal or conservative so I'm an equal opportunity offender and Edwards = lovely human was funny.

Yeah, real funny. I know I'm laughing. ha. ha. ha. :disgust:

None of the things you guys stated rise to the level of using hate speech like lovely human.

Hell, compared to Coultor, you guys are effeminate; Arnold Schwarzenegger is effeminate.

On a positive note: Major companies are pulling all ads from Coultor's Site.
This will be excellent for the 08 campaign. Showing that even somewhat mainstream Repugs support and approve of people like Coultor using the most vile of hate speech will help Dem's further strengthen their grip on power in DC. Keep it up!

Maher didn't wish Cheney was assasinated, he said is if Cheney had been assasinated it probably would result in less Americans dying in Iraq since Cheney is the driving force behind our continued involvement in Iraq.

lol. I thought it was pretty funny. Who was it that went into rehab for using a gay slur again?

Yea it was a real riot :roll:

Crap like this just makes politics even more hard to stomach.

Maybe there is some hope for this Country:

3-6-2007 Companies to pull ads from Coulter's Web site

? Three major companies have requested their ads be pulled from AnnCoulter.com
? A blogger posted contact information for some companies with ads on the site
? Companies didn't know their ads were on the site until they received complaints
? Coulter referred to John Edwards as a "lovely human" during an address last week

Verizon, Sallie Mae and Georgia-based NetBank each said they didn't know their ads were on AnnCoulter.com until they received the complaints.

Verizon, Sallie Mae and NetBank said the ads were put on a variety of sites by a third party company. In many cases, advertisers do not know which sites feature their ads.

Coulter did not respond to CNN's request for comment.

Oh really?

Then how come you viciously attack anyone on the left every chance you get, yet constantly apologize for any outrage committed by the right?

I'm sorry, I didn't know public conversations were priviledged.

Thanks for answering my question though. :)

They don't, if a "prominent" liberal called a conservative candidate for POTUS a lovely human at a national liberal conference please provide links.

You can't because it hasn't happened, nor will it ever.

So when anyone in a public place asks someone a question, you feel the right to chime right in?

I'm referring to the left-leaning posters on this board, not politicians. And if you don't think that it's two sides of the same coin, you're pretty ignorant of reality.
