This false surprise is wearing thin, fellas.

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.

This is the best thing to happen to Edwards' since his campaign started.

Um, what Coulter said about Edwards isn't nearly as bad as the things that Edwards former blogger would say about Catholics and Conservatives.....

It's up there, for certain. But you asked "Why is there a different standard for Ann Coulter?" There isn't. The OP is about her comment. And the posters have weighed in on it.

Squigian's post summarizes my own personal convictions better than I can.

Hey look, a bunch of right wingers whooing and applauding the use of the word faggot. Im so incredibly shocked.

disgusting human being, that alien looking stupid woman. Absolutly disgusting.

Actually, not true. Who's applauding here.

More so, look at the major blogs and see all of the fallout AC is getting.

But don't let the truth get in your way.............

I don't understand. She was speaking in front of a "Conservative Political Action Conference," and was preceded by a Republican presidential candidate. And there was definitely some applause there. Can you explain how Enigma's post is false?

:rotfl:

I'll second the blank look from a conservative leaning person.

Maybe someone didn't watch Scarboro Country tonight. Evidently Bill Maher never said anything about Dick Cheney. Someone else spouted that evil speech. Bill just supports peoples rights to Free Speech. LOL I disagree with Bill on that subject. Ann Coultergeist went over the line IMHO :/\\chop :/\\chop . But Bill Maher thinks she has the right to say what she wants. Just like he thinks that people have the right to think what they want to think about Dick Cheney and the attempt to scare him in Afganistan. But Bill never said that he wanted Dick Cheney killed. Who ever say that he said that is LYING THOUGH THIER TEETH!

I will say that Dick Chency and those that support him have a tendency to lie a lot. Take Scooter for example. :)


And John Edwards is a excellent trial lawyer. Most sleeze bags exist in the diplomatic corp.

You left out Diplomats.

Avon, we must not be watching the same video. Coulter's disgraceful remarks are followed by applause from the crowd who are.......conservatives?

But dont let documented truth get in your way.

The above is a drop in the bucket. Don't trouble yourself to look around, not even on the comments on this very thread.

Or have you tried looking here? Funny, I don't recall those being pumped up by the mass media. I can't imagine why.

As it turns out, Coulter may have learned from some predecessors. Ain't hypocrisy sweet?!

I dont understand.....
So, because the majority has common sense, the guilty walk amongst them with immunity? what a way to live....

Immunity? What are you talking about?

Soixante trois points.

:know:

EDIT: 5000th post - what a waste! :cry:

63 points? I don't get it...:88)

Oh, for goodness sake! The humanity!

I didn't hear a ton of cheers, I heard alot of nervous laughter. That was the reaction. Listen to the applause for most the other points.

I'd suggest you get just as much vitriol at a DailyKos convention. Of course, that is different b/c it sarcasm and not a slur. Have a look at this, from a left political commentator that used to work for John Edwards, the man in question here, before the blogger in question was called on her continued vile comments about Christians and Jews, comments that make what Ms. Coulter said pale by comparison. This blogger was not fired by John Edwards for said comments, but resigned instead. If Edwards and the left were so worried about civility, they would do well to take a look at some of the folks in their own tent...

Personally I find "What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?" to be just as offensive as the term "faggot."
