Coulter: I Would Talk About Edwards But.....

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

We're on the same page dean.

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.

Are there threads in this forum about these other incidents? If so I must have missed them. It possibly slipped by you, but the topic in this thread here is specifically Coulter's colourful vocabulary. Leave it in middle school, Ann.

Perhaps it slipped by you that I started this thread. And since we're calling a spade a spade the advocacy of murder is much higher on the list of evil than what Ann said.

Ann and other demagogues like her (Moore in particular) should just go find a rock and crawl under it. We don't need vitriolic attention-seekers like them in a decent country, fooling and feeding off the masses, weakening their respective side's argument.

Lets not forget Bill Maher, Cindy Sheehan, Rosie O'Donnell, Barbara Streisand, Alec Baldwin (who still hasn't left the country, like he said he would), et al.

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.

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?
