Coulter Calls Edwards a Faggot

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

Ha! It appears that there will be some financial consequences for the hatemongering harpy:

At least three major companies want their ads pulled from Ann Coulter’s Web site, following customer complaints about the right-wing commentator referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a “faggot.”

A spokesperson for NetBank said Coulter’s page “is not the kind of site we want to be on.”

Let’s assume both are indeed Democrats, though there is no evidence of that.

Although I’ve retracted the comparisons, Stewart is a very active speaker for the Progressive Democrats of America. Whether their venues are “major” or whether they are indeed “true Democrats”, I can’t say. But frankly, if it is fair to disassociate Democrats from everything left of a certain point, then it ought to be the same sort of deal for Republicans with respect to the right.

Ann fires back

“'Faggot isn’t offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays,” Coulter said on “Hannity and Colmes” Monday night. “It’s a schoolyard taunt meaning ‘wuss,’ and unless you’re telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person.”

Coulter called the whole controversy another example of the mainstream media’s “speech totalitarianism” and says she sees no reason to apologize for a joking comment that was taken out of context.

Not even sure where to start with that. Actually, it’s probably best to just let it speak for itself.

As it generally is, as people usually don’t come into the pit, quote remarks from members of the KKK (who, let’s face it, are more likely to vote R than D), and use them to pit Republicans in general.
