Ann Coulter’s Crass Comment
I found a link today to a video of Ann Coulter at CPAC that is completely crass and tasteless. Now, I usually love Ann Coulter, because of how she gets liberals’ boxers in such a bunch, and Lord knows how much fun upsetting liberals is. But in this instance, she just went too far. You can watch the video for yourself, but her comment was this:
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.
The reaction from the crowd was weak, at best. I would class it as nervous “courtesy” laughter. I don’t know what she was thinking, but comments like this do nothing but perpetuate the myth that Conservatives don’t like people who are “different.”
Now, a bunch of people over on FreeRepublic are leaping to Ann’s defense, saying she was just doing it to piss off liberals, but I’m one person on the right who thinks she went too far.
