I'm glad this story is getting picked up ... I can only hope Ann Coulter gets hung out to dry forever for this. And while I would NEVER, EVER condone violence against a woman, I am tempted to get a sex change simply so I can punch this cunt square in her fucking mouth -- on behalf of 9/11 widows, faggots, liberals and thinking people everywhere.

Coulter under fire for anti-gay slur

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Prominent politicians from both parties and a gay-rights group on Saturday condemned right-wing commentator Ann Coulter for her reference Friday to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot."

"Ann Coulter's use of an anti-gay slur yesterday was un-American and indefensible," Edwards said in a posting on his Web site, www.johnedwards.com.

"In America, we strive for equality and embrace diversity. The kind of hateful language she used has no place in political debate or our society at large.

"I believe it is our moral responsibility to speak out against that kind of bigotry and prejudice every time we encounter it."

Edwards' campaign posted the video on their Web site, and asked readers to help them "raise $100,000 in 'Coulter Cash' this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry."

Coulter made her comment in Washington during an address to the 34th annual meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference, during which she gave her opinions about the Democrats' slate of presidential hopefuls.

"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I'm - so, kind of at an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards, so I think I'll just conclude here and take your questions," said Coulter, whose comment was followed by applause.

CNN has reached out to Coulter's representative, and received no response.

But the New York Times reported that she responded, in an e-mail, "C'mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean."

A spokesman for Sen. John McCain, a Republican presidential candidate, called Coulter's comments to the conservative group "wildly inappropriate."

In a written statement, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, said, "Ann Coulter's words of hate have no place in the public sphere much less our political discourse. Not only should she apologize but those who participated in the conference with her should denounce her shameful and divisive actions."

"Ann Coulter's use of this anti-gay slur is vile and unacceptable," said Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, "and the applause from her audience is an important reminder that Coulter's ugly brand of bigotry is at the root of the discriminatory policies being promoted at this gathering."

In a written statement, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean called on Republicans to denounce her remarks. "There is no place in political discourse for this kind of hate-filled and bigoted comments," he said.

During a question-and-answer session, Coulter referred back to the issue of gays by alluding to the bid for the Republican presidential nomination being made by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

"I do want to point out one thing that has been driving me crazy with the media -- how they keep describing Mitt Romney's position as being pro-gays, and that's going to upset the right wingers," she said. "Well, you know, screw you! I'm not anti-gay. We're against gay marriage. I don't want gays to be discriminated against."

She added, "I don't know why all gays aren't Republican. I think we have the pro-gay positions, which is anti-crime and for tax cuts. Gays make a lot of money and they're victims of crime. No, they are! They should be with us."

A spokesman for Romney called Coulter's use of the slur "offensive."

I firmly believe in violence against everyone. At the very least she needs to be referred to as "Anne Cooter" from now on.

Is this a misquotation, typo, or is she utterly mad?

Here is the clip of her saying it:

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03/02/coulter-edwards/ She called Al Gore the same thing a while ago. It's almost like she's not too keen on Democrats or something.

I just hate this country more and more. And while I realize that ignorance exists everywhere, the United States is a breeding ground for sort of conservative bullshit.

Ann Cooter is too clean. She just needs to be refered to as "That old cunt".

AND WHAT KILLS ME IS PEOPLE HERE LOVE HER?! Fuck, it's too early to get wound up on a non-holy day. Serenity now, serenity now.

She's just mad. There really is no way to explain a woman who wears her conservative label proudly and acts like a raving liberal fool. I'm guessing she was jealous of all the Anna Nicole Smith/Britney Spears coverage and needed to reroute the countries focus back on shit that's important like 3rd grade name-calling.

Her thoughts on the right of women to vote, among other things, are just lol:

I think [women] should be armed but should not vote... women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it... it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care. It would just be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted.

Some more vintage Ann:

I think our motto should be, post-9-11: raghead talks tough, raghead faces consequences.

If it's any consolation, I'm convinced she's a closet hippie. She's mocking the way conservatives think?

Interesting spin, seriously.

Also, I recall reading an article where she was a huge Dead fan ... boggles my mind.

I can't work it out. She's like the political equivalent of kids hanging out in shopping malls drinking too much coffee and being well rAnD0mz. Even mad people make more sense than that. It's like she's trying really hard to be nuts.

Could she be a Democrat plant, designed to detract credibility from their opposition, like a sort of reverse Michael Moore?

was micheal moore a plant?

He's a plant and/or a twat.

omfg can someone just kill her already?

She makes millions outraging people like you.

I know. That's what makes this even worse. Her deliberate machinations invite response which is the intent.

The thing is, she doesn't offer anything to a national conversation, so why is she always the go-to girl?
