At the Conservative Political Action Conference today, which was attended by 2008 Republican Presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo (R-CO), Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS), former Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) as well as Vice President Dick Cheney, Ann Coulter referred to Senator John Edwards as a "faggot".....

Cheney, Romney et al, cheered when she made the remark.

All the dems need to do is tie Coulter around every republican neck for the next 2 years ... it's getting easier and easier to put a dem in the white house.

I saw that story earlier today. I bet Edwards will be overjoyed.

Well, we already know that (s)he's a mental, chemically imbalanced bitch. I can't wait for her to rot in hell.

She was out of line... no reason to say that.. she's pretty dumb

If the corporate media is so "liberal" then why do they keep giving people like Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity so much airtime and the appearance of credibility?

:SIGH:

we would have heard nothing about this meeting if she didnt say something like that

we would have heard nothing about this meeting if she didnt say something like that

Which means what?

Yea, exactly. She's being aired on conservative networks though, not just liberal ones. That's what I don't get, it's like those networks are endorsing her.

This is just another example of core Republicans values. Hatred and Lies.

Take this with a grain of salt if you want, but when you lump all republicans together and tie them together with insults, it makes people view you as an extremist and take your points less seriously.

The problem is, I can't find anything to indicate it is not the vast majority of Republicans.

Is Edwads gay.

No, he is happily married with kids.

i have not a clue.....but calling a man a "faggot" is the worse thing a woman can say.




...besides "why should the kids look like you? they're the milkman's kids".

Hmmm, as you know, that dosent mean hes not gay, I wonder if shes any inside info, and let slip,
anyway, shes doing the Demos work for them.

No, he is happily married with kids.

Hmmm, as you know, that dosent mean hes not gay,

I have always considered that a pretty damn good sign someone isn't gay.

"Unhappily married" and there might be a case for latent homosexuality, but Happily Married???

I will say this, it is a very very remote possibility. Somewhere in league with winning the lottery twice in a row.

The incident at CPAC suggests at least two questions:

* Will the media -- including the "mainstream media" figures Romney said attended his speech -- ask Romney whether he will repudiate Coulter's apparent endorsement?

* Will the media ask the other Republican presidential candidates and potential candidates participating in CPAC -- including Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, Duncan Hunter and Mike Huckabee -- whether they will seek the votes of the CPAC attendees (such as V.P. Cheney) who cheered Coulter's smear of Edwards?

Dear ****,

Did you hear about Anne Coulter's speech this afternoon attacking John? A friend just forwarded me the video and it's one of the worst moments in American politics I've seen.

I can't bring myself to even repeat her comments. Her shameless display of bigotry is so outrageous you actually have to see for yourself (http://johnedwards.com/r/6662/405884) to believe it.

This is just a taste of the filth that the right-wing machine is gearing up to throw at us. And now that it's begun, we have a choice: Do we sit back, or do we fight back?

I say we fight. Help us raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" this week to show every would-be Republican mouthpiece that their bigoted attacks will not intimidate this campaign. I just threw in 100 bucks. Will you join me? Just click here. (https://johnedwards.com/action/contribute/coulter)

Coulter's attack was no accident. It happened on national television at one of the year's biggest conservative conferences. Dick Cheney and most of the Republican candidates were in the audience. She was even introduced by Mitt Romney.

John was singled out for a personal attack because the Republican establishment knows he poses the greatest threat to their power. Since they have nothing real to use against him, Coulter's resorting to the classic right-wing strategy of riling up hate to smear a progressive champion. And the Republican attack dogs will keep playing this despicable trick as long as they think it works.

But this time, you and I can change the game.

If we can raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" this week, we can show that bigotry will only backfire on those who use it. John is not the first progressive leader to face this kind of slime, but together, we can make sure he is one of the last.

Tonight, I've put in 100 bucks of "Coulter Cash" to get us started. Can you match me, or chip in whatever you can afford? Just click here:

i thought you were going with this-http://www.snopes.com/luck/lottery/dreamwin.asp

Years ago, my mum won the lottery at the legion two years in a row. It was only about a 1000 bucks but we needed it so we were pretty delighted.

Nice one Sal, ah, whats the legion.

Nice one Sal, ah, whats the legion.

The Legion is a club here in Canada for war vets. Actually the story is a tad more strange. My mum's best friend's husband was president of the Legion. As such he picked the winning name. So first year Bill picked her ticket out of the drum.

When my mum went up for her cheque she jokingly said: "Bill, I could do with another one of these next year". He replied with "will do the best I can to see that happens".

He died shortly thereafter. So when they called my mum's name out the next year there was quite a deafening silence for a bit.

haha, did he leave any messages for the legion in his will

I'm no Ann Coulter fan, but then again nor am I a fan of Al Franken or Michael Moore.

Why? Anyone who chooses to paint with such broad brush strokes (generalizing so), the whole while employing only white paint or black paint (everyone is either a 'lib' and should be hated, or else a 'conservative' and equally reviled), becomes a pawn for one political faction or another, and therefore a purposely-divisive force.

The only thing I find more sad and ridiculous than our broken, tribal-warring 'two party political system' are the members of the voting public who fall so easily into the politically-contrived rhetoric of hatred and animosity.

I am no party's tool, nor do I choose to embrace wholesale a posture of 'my party's candidates are 100% good, and your party's candidates are all evil and morally-bankrupt'. When I go to the polls to vote, I will cast my ballot for the candidates who I believe will do the best job, regardless of party affiliation.

Hate-mongers like Ann Coulter, Al Franken, and Michael Moore would rather have you abandon your objectivity, rally around their flag, and dumb-down your otherwise logical thought-processes.

In short, I find her use of the term, 'faggot' just about as offensive as everyone else's use of the terms, 'right-wing', 'left-wing', 'lib', 'conservative', or 'lefty'. Sad and shameful.

Please, people. Take a long, hard look at yourselves, evaluate how quickly you either came to attack or defend this hateful woman, and recognize how you may have just fallen into an unnecessary culture of animosity.

It's just what they want you to do; polarize along party lines.
Don't do it.
Be an independent, free-thinking person, not a tool & and a mouthpiece for one faction or the other.
You are better than this, I hope.

coulter > moore

i admit coulter is quite the liberal basher, but moore beats her hands down with his critisim of the right.

to be honest, i think both of them suck actually, but whatever.

Here’s an analogy.

Little school kids in the rural parts of this State will get into fist fights over which football team is better, the University of Alabama or Auburn University.

“Auburn sucks, Roll Tide!” one little kid will declare.

“Naw bullshit, ‘Bama sucks. War Eagle!!” And on and on until they either beat each other’s ass, or some teacher or administrator comes along to break up the scuffle.

The perplexing thing is, few of these kids have ever actually sat in the stadiums and watched an actual contest in person, they clearly aren’t alumni of either school, and a comparative few of their parents or family members have attended Auburn or Alabama either.

(You folks from Ohio and Michigan probably know exactly what I’m talking about here, only there are different teams being debated up there.)

The thing is, a culture of animosity has evolved over a pair of lousy football teams, and it’s hard to put your finger on just exactly how such a thing has come about. Handed down from parent to child most likely, big brother to little sister, and so on.
People here are deeply divided, there is no middle ground, and you are either ‘fer us, or ag’in us’. Overly-broad brush strokes. Black or white.
I hate your and your team, and you hate me and mine.

Recognizing how easily a culture of animosity can arise in a certain region over college football is useful, I think, in recognizing (and maybe even combating) the culture of animosity that has arisen across this nation with regard to the two political parties.

What are most of the political arguments about anyway?
War, of course. Abortion. Taxes. Civil liberties, size & authority of Government, social programs, and welfare.

How many of you have been to war? How many have faced a real-life decision regarding abortion or life of dependence and poverty? Paid taxes? Given to charity? Volunteered in the community? Written your Congressman?

I am urging each of you to stop playing into the Party’s hands, and do your damn homework. Study the candidates. Evaluate their voting records. Make up your OWN minds, and not have it made up for you by Ann Coulter, Al Franken, Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, ABC News, or some God-awful pop star.

Am I alone in this?
Am I alone?

coulter > moore

i admit coulter is quite the liberal basher, but moore beats her hands down with his critisim of the right.

I'd disagree, at least Moore doesn't go around calling people faggots. Coulter has a history of saying stupid shit like this, and it's certainly not going to be the last.

Here's my favorite Ann Coulter tidbit:

"In 1999 and 2000, Coulter considered running for Congress from Connecticut on the Libertarian Party ticket to serve as a spoiler in order to throw the seat to the Democratic candidate and see that Republican Congressman Christopher Shays failed to gain re-election, as a punishment for Shays's voting against the impeachment of President Bill Clinton."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter

I mean, wow.

I know exactly what you mean Sparky. I hate Ann Coulter and I detest Michael Moore (I don't know much about Al Franken). People should follow what they believe, not what 'their' party tells them to believe.

Stephen Colbert ftw!

I am using Coulter's blatent and openly endorsed Hatred as an example of Hatred being a core value of the Republican party.

If you're refering to a general loathing for/disrespect for homosexuals that is very apparent in Republicanism, I'd say you have an excellent point.

And i'd like to see any of the rightwingers here try to refute that point.

Want more of Coulter's bilge......?!?!?

Previously, Coulter has put “even money” on Sen. Hillary Clinton “coming out of the closet” (http://mediamatters.org/items/200608030004) said Bill Clinton shows “some level of latent homosexuality” (http://mediamatters.org/items/200607280001) and called Vice President Al Gore a “total fag” (http://mediamatters.org/items/200607280001).

I don't see ANY Republicans saying --""Ann Coulter is a terrible, hate-filled person, and we in the Republican Party disavow and disagree with her views and her statements"".

Maybe God told her, hes a Republican.

Maybe God told her, hes a Republican.

Very possible.

Coulter often makes known her very favorable view of Christianity, and the god of the Christians --as exemplified by Old Testament writings-- seems to harbor a murderous hatred for homosexuality.

Religiosity could very well be the source of Coulter's hatred.

And the source of yours is....?

Fascist politicians who are slowly taking away our rights and priviliges, who are bankrupting the nation with their O.I.L (Operation Iraqi Liberation) wars, and who are underming and destoying this nation, and whose anti-environmentalist policies are contributing to the destruction of the planet's ecosphere.

And the people who tacitly support the political cabal that is doing it.

Take this with a grain of salt if you want, but when you lump all republicans together and tie them together with insults, it makes people view you as an extremist and take your points less seriously.

What do you call it other than lump all republicans together when you have Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Tom Tancredo, Sam Brownback, Duncan Hunter and Dick Cheney together? This happened at the CPAC -- the very heartbeat of conservative fundraising and all the usual suspects applauded her when she said it.

Allrighty then. Fair enough.
Carry on with the hate thing, sir.

And the ironic point is ... look at all the republicans that come out of the closet. What was that preacher's name? Haggard? And then there was Foley and all the republicans that defended Foley are probably closet gays as well.

They need to take a look in the mirror.

Allrighty then. Fair enough.

Ok.

I'd be willing to wager that if you realized (iow, if you were not too willfully blind to see it) that the far-right political cabal in control of your country was destroying it, you would loathe them and revile them every bit as much as I do.

Christ, man.

Be open about your hatred, it will reward you. Then, one day, when you stand there amongst other homophobes holding sins that read "Homo sex is sinful!!" "Put an end to sodomy" and so on, you will see Sparky coming down the street with his shirt off.

He's riding his motorcycle, sweating, and is driving without his hands since he has to hold his beer somehow. On the tailpipe there will be a rainbow sticker, and he will pull into a hardware store/pub that is across the street from you.

You see him; you twitch, your pants twitch. This is a day that will change your life, because we all know that homophobes are actually gay themselves. You approach the store/bar, and a few hours later you mount up on the motorcycle behind Sparky and head back to his place.

:eek:

BINGO!

Remember the whole Gannon situation? He might as well have come out and called Bush an out-and-out fag when that story surfaced. He actually made fun of him (like he knew, beyond any doubt, that the entire cabinet was gay (i.e., like he heard it from some irrefutable source ... I imagine the same source that feeds him declarative statements like, "Hillary will win by a landslide" or "the republican party is over", but I digress).

That aside, don't forget he's racist, too.

The best observation in the whole thread.

Dop just got calzoned.

Everyone talks the usual worldly tolerance and empathy toward homosexuals, (like they even have clue) but when confronted with an overtly homosexual ovation, they shrink like panic-stricken football players.

Do you notice that women are more inclined to be tolerant of male homosexuals and men are more tolerant of female homosexuals?

This is widespread, and illustrates that much of the fear is from the fact that everyone has had a homosexual impulse at some time or another, and in Western culture such an impulse is seriously worrisome. (Religious conviction may alter this a little, so let me qualify what I say by saying this tendency is when religious conviction on the subject is not present).

Hence when approached by a homosexual, we react with fear or anger--we have our own personal doubts reinforced (although this is of course irrational). The most rabid homophobias are almost without exception "closet" homosexuals themselves, ridden with guilt and self-loathing. This may sound like pop-psychology, but it turns out true.

Western culture makes things tough on the adolescent "sissy" or "tomboy," and this can take two routes. If he or she comes from a fundamentalist family, disaster is all but guaranteed. If from a more rational family, then one can expect the gay man or woman to find him or herself and avoid guilt, although that still doesn't by itself overcome the culture's inherent derogation.

... rather it was the suggestion you would throw me on your bike which implies manhandling me, which FWIW & BTW & FYI -- will never happen in your lifetime.

My goodness, it was just an expression. As in, "Hey bro, let's throw the old ladies on the back of the motorcycles and go have a few beers down at The Well!"

And it was, of course, an absurd and humorous notion anyway.
If you didn't find me attactive enough to want to climb aboard my motorcycle and go back to my flat for some spirited homosexual hijinks, then I certainly wouldn't try to force you onto the bitch-seat.
(An uncooperative and unwilling passenger is twice as likely to fall off of there, and anybody who knows me also knows that I am all about the safety.)

Please, let's just be friends and put this whole unfortunate homosexual motorcycling experience behind us!!

PS What does 'FWIW & BTW & FYI' mean anyway? I'm not hip to all the internet lingo.

I wonder if the media will demand that these people denounce Coulter's comment the way they demanded Howard Dean denounce comments made at one of his appearances (comments by Whoopie Goldberg, I believe).

I doubt very much the corporate media would do that.

Someone as controversial as Coulter is too valuable to them as a ratings generator to discredit.

I do not agree with many parts of this post. I noted in another thread that you do not like your posts addressed in parts as I usually do so I will just answer you in paragraphs as you prefer.

Your theory is too generalized and leaves out aspects which I believe are important such as upbringing and age. As well as viewing our sex attraction as a continuum on which we slide slightly back and forth. (Asexual in the middle) and homosexual on one end polarized by heterosexual on the other. Please note that part in brackets should be changed to bisexual to the degree that they prefer neither men nor women over the other.
I am not more tolerant of male homosexuals over female homosexuals. Two of my girlfriends partner each other. I have zero problem with that. Neither did I have a problem when one of those friends asked me if I would like to experiment with a cross over.

To my knowledge/remembrance I have never had the desire to have any interaction at all with the same sex (female). If I had, I would have tried it.

As for upbringing affecting ones sexuality the more open and tolerant the environment is toward others in general the more tolerant one would be toward another's sexual leanings.

I also believe that attitudes are more open now than when I was growing up. Perhaps only marginally so but none the less we are heading toward a more open and accepting era. Even most television shows now have at least one same sex couple. If people were not open to that Hollywood would not be showing it as it would affect their ratings in a negative way.

Asexual in the middle and homosexual on one end polarized by heterosexual on the other.
Wouldn't bisexual be in the middle?

It wasn't the gay part ... rather it was the suggestion you would throw me on your bike which implies manhandling me, which FWIW & BTW & FYI -- will never happen in your lifetime.

So BDSM is probably out of the question

PS What does 'FWIW & BTW & FYI' mean anyway? I'm not hip to all the internet lingo.
"For what it's worth", "By the way", and "For your information," respectively.

There was no indication in your post that it was a joke. None at all. As for that other individual, that's a different story.

"Canadian veterans' club?

That must be as vacant as Ann Coulter's vagina for the past 45 years."

You're not as intelligent as I thought you to be, ES.

I read that as a snide, thoughtless comment.

Give it a rest you two. This is about the most petty thing you could argue about.

Allow me to disprove you by showing you exhibit A:

There is no exhibit B, it just sounds sophisticated with the 'A.'

oh.. god... I am so glad that I missed that thread. I think I would have stabbed myself to death with a spoon.

Please, let's just be friends and put this whole unfortunate homosexual motorcycling experience behind us!!

Nice Lionel

Then come to find out that the guest of honor there is a gay porn star and gay escort. Who wouldda thunk it! lol

I wonder if the media will demand that these people denounce Coulter's comment the way they demanded Howard Dean denounce comments made at one of his appearances (comments by Whoopie Goldberg, I believe).Define "media" in this case.

Faggot is a terrible word that should never be used or uttered except in the case of fundraising.
Gimme a break John.

"We must show that inflaming prejudice to attack progressive leaders will only backfire.
Can you help us raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry?"

Hah!!

That is pretty funny.

How vain he is, combing his hair like that. The big wuss.

As for me, I think it is very brave of his protagonist at the Conservative Political Action Conference to go with the *no make up* look.

If there's one thing that demonstrates the earnestness of people who like to derisively refer to Mr Edwars as a "faggot", it is their willingness to appear at large public functions looking like a transexual anorexic who has been recently uniterred after being buried for a few weeks.

Go Ann!!! You go, girl!!!

People often use the word "fag" in ways unrelated to being gay. Before the word "nerd" appeared in the early 70's, a fag was just that, a nerd.

If a guy in 1972 didn't have long hair or didn't smoke or had short pants or cried or played with girls or whatever, he was a fag.

And as per that other thread, the word "gay" is now taking on new, non-homosexual meanings.

Gimme a break John.

Give us all a break, Brooks.

You wouldn't contribute to Edwards no matter what anyway.

Personally, I donated $50.

Fuck Mr. Coulter and all his followers on the right.
:upyours:

John is so offended by the word that he will continue to perpetuate it on his website until suckers' coffers, such as your own, run dry.

Remember those bloggers in early February who worked directly for Edwards?
What they said was fifty times worse than what Ann Coulter said.
What did he do about it?

And as per that other thread, the word "gay" is now taking on new, non-homosexual meanings.
So?
