Ann Coulter calls John Edwards a 'faggot' - leading Republican candidates denounce her remarks

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

"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 remarks by Ann Coulter, who regularly speaks at conservative events, were denounced by the candidates, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, Rudy Giuliani of New York, and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts.

[...]

McCain ... denounced Coulter's remarks Saturday.

"The comments were wildly inappropriate," said his spokesman, Brian Jones.

Giuliani said, "The comments were completely inappropriate and there should be no place for such name-calling in political debate."

Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Romney, said: "It was an offensive remark. Gov. Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect."

Since when has Ann Coulter ever been appropriate?

Not too often -- which might be a clue for Republicans to not invite her to important political events.

If they do, I'll bring pies, and I'm a conservative.

I have this dream of her marrying Al Franken and being best buddies with Carville and Matalin

It is helpful.

It gives all of the Republican candidates an easy chance to come out and denounce her. She's told to say these things by the GOP so the front running candidates can denounce what she says and look favorable to middle America. Don't believe them!

The girl's not shy, is she?

She not bright either. Just lucky to be attractive (to someone ).

She is a smart lady, she is just a right wing nut in the style of her opposites on the left. I.E. All Franken. Same deal, different sides of the same coin.

(Bet you didn't think I would say that did you?)

I'll agree she's a right wing nut, stating the obvious

Yes, this gives the GOP a chance to have its very own Sister Souljah moment. After all, if they nominate Rudy the party will never be the same again, so might as well begin the transformation now.

I have to admit, I thought the same thing.

Not only that but she is a great source of laughter!

Actually, some of her comments (if you strip away the outrageous) are quite insightful. I especially appreciated her comments concerning Canada - "Right-On"!

And she had previously alluded to Bill Clinton's latent homosexuality in a very (psychologically) insightful and humorous way.
