It would have been ok if Coulter had called him a 'slack jawed redneck baptist redneck NASCAR fan.'

The funny thing is that given how inclusive and tolerant the Democratic wing of the Democratic party is, Edwards should have embraced being compared to such a poorly treated and stigmatized class of people.... just like he can empathize with po' folks like me. http://carolinajournal.com/exclusive...e.html?id=3848

The shrieking from the Left about Coulter’s comment is as phony as Hillary Clinton’s latest position on (insert just about anything here).
True to form, John Edwards used the incident to raise funds for his presidential bid. If anything, faggots should be offended by being mentioned in the same sentence as the sleazy trial lawyer.

On each side, politicians are operating, turning an instance of pure gobsh*tery into a political football. Don't kid yourselves into thinkng it would be different the other way round. Don't get fooled into thinking that this is important
When something like this happens, just be the bigger one and let it slide. Go after what matters, instead of what you're told matters.
