Speaking today at the Conservative Political Action Conference, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter said: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I - so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards." Audience members said "ohhh" and then cheered.Hat tip to ....thinkprogress.org.
C-U Next Tuesday Ann!

31. I am a Republican, and personally I believe that Ann Coulter is a ego-maniac, who in my humble opinion, needs to become a room mate of Brittany Spears. Her comments have been becoming more vile as the weeks progress.....Ann, you either need to be on medication or stop taking what you're on!!!

32. I agree with the poster that its awful to have to post such a repeat of a Nazi pep rally, with gays this time as the scapegoats, and hate monger Ann Coutler standing in for Adolf Hitler.
But, the most important thing about this video was that the conference was filled with the Republican leadership, the people who want to continue to govern, and they cheered.

33. From: Larry B about Coulter
I think she is funny and nobody should take her seriously. Why would a "Lipstick Lesbian" call another person a "Faggot". I'll bet that she shops at DYKES r US. Also a bottle of Clairol could help with those roots.

34. This lady shows signs of a mental case. I do not know if she was molested as a child, but she acts out like many a cases that I know about. My mom has done some social work related things, and I am telling you, something is wrong with this chick. It will come out soon enough. She is so full of hate, anger and bitterness. She acts as if she is owed something. Then, she is not very attractive on top of that. At least if she was nice, she would have some type of beauty.

35. Ann Coulter....who is this woman??? What made her the moral majority? All she has is her mouth! I've never heard an intelligent word come from her w/o trying to put someone down. The woman is nothing but a bully,trying to get attention for herself, because clearly w/o this she is nothing. She has nothing else going for her! Period!
As a child I was often told that those who speak so loudly against a group or make negative inuendos about a person are often themselves guilty of what they are "Preaching" against. Remember Ted the preacher a few months ago....Ann its a matter of time before your closet door will be opened and the truth about you will come spilling out! Humm what will you say then???

36. Please, Americans, listen to what Coulter is saying.....incredible and alarming.

37. If you have a problem with someone's policies then attack the policies; if you have a problem with someone's values then at least state what the problem is. Geffin at least said he thought Clinton's were liars; that is a statement you can agree with or disagree with. To make a statement like Ms. Coulter did, tells us nothing about John Edwards. It does however, tell us a great deal about Ms. Coulter and the people who invited her to address them, and it is not complementary.

38. Please, grow up -- at least a bit. My political world came into focus in the mid 1980's. What did I hear about Reagan, and him being senile? "Ronnie Ray-gun," those were two of the nice ones. And of course Republicans wanted to kill of the elderly and starve the children?? Since Bush came into office it's been nothing but vile comments from the unwashed left. But call Edwards a faggot and the earth has to be stopped so we can all moan and cry... The only thing different about Ann Coulter is that she's not a leftist ranking the right. Because if she was a leftist and the same comments were directed at the right, she's be SOP Hollywood, SOP Democrat Underground, SOP Moveon, etc., etc.

39. Coulter is really a man dressed in drag who apparently has the hots for Edwards. Ann, it's time for your next electrolysis appointment.
Hurry on over there.

40. Ann Coulter is the epitome of everything that is wrong in this country. The sparrow-legged whore ought to keep her big mouth shut and the media should shut off all avenues of exposure for this brod.

41. Yes, let's crucify Ann Coulter...besides the fact that John Edwards is one...but I suppose coming from a punch sheep that are told what to say, what way they should vote and how perfect they believe themselves to be it's no surprise. Any marked deviation from the norm and it rocks your world. I like Ann Coulter doesn't mean I'm rascist, doesn't mean I'm crazy. But at least she's willing to speak her mind unlike most dems who have to ask Hillary and Bill what they can say. At least she didn't claim to invent the internet...thank for that one Gore =).

42. And if any of you were intelligent, smart people you'd actually stop calling her such evil names. You are the reason this country is like this. It is possible to have a discussion without using every fowl name in the book. But I don't suppose you would be able to figure it out yourselves. If you haven't been able to ask the Democratic party for the proper response you have to fall back on your somewhat below average, ok extremely below average IQs/literate abilities. And select from the few words some rapper or someone of the sort told you. Good one, Good one...I'm so impressed. =) And yes I probably have a higher IQ, vocabulary and make than you ever will. And ohh I'm not a dem for the most part maybe that's why.

43. Coulter is a vile peice of human trash! But shes a right winger. They may not say the things she does but many trust this nut case and follow her. I dont care what her book says! If she has to seel it by calling people names its NOT worth reading. She needs to grow up and stop being such a child! But again shes typical of republicans and right wingers! Wishing aids on people and calling them names. What a leader you have to look up to..... NOT!

44. Along with most of your readers, I think Ms. Coulter is a publicity hound with very little to say beyond sensationalism that sells books. I will admit, I read the Enquirer or the Star when standing in line at the market, but I also read David McCullough and Gore Vidal. They write about historical figures, with all their warts, but with an eye to informing, not destroying. Could Anne be put in "writers and talkers" rehab? It would be a favor to us all. Meantime, I will do as usual, turn the channel when she is on....But then, I never watch Fox News...you know, "Fair and Balanced"

45. Ann Coulter isn't just another hate-filled bigot. She's a historical revisionist who claims Joe McCarthy was destroyed by the "left-wing media" when in fact, the effort to censure him was led by his own Republican party.
Coulter claims to be a born-again Christian (which reminds me of the expression "if you were accused of being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you?"). I see absolutely no evidence of her self-proclaimed Christianity.
Coulter claims liberals are "godless." Yet atheists are less than 3% of the population while 12% call themselves liberal. It doesn't take a math wizard to realise that all liberals aren't atheists.
However, Coulter's clear message is that somehow believing in God is a virtue and being an athiest a character flaw. The evidence from world history disputes this. Most liberals act out of deep religious conviction.
Ann Coulter is a media whore. Thirty years ago, she would've been doing Black Panthers and bombing inductiopn centers. She is without morals.
By the way, for what it's worth, I am a registered Republican, a conservaitve and a Christian. However I DESPISE the neocons.
