March 3, 2007, 10:32 am Fallout Over Coulter’s Anti-Gay Remark
By Adam Nagourney
There’s some big fallout from the meeting in Washington of the Conservative Political Action Conference, three days of conferencing, caucusing, presidential addressing and book-hawking. These conferences have historically been known for displaying what its own organizers would describe as over-the-top behavior, and one of the regular speakers – Ann Coulter – offered an example of it when she used an anti-gay epithet on Friday to describe John Edwards, the former senator from North Carolina and Democratic presidential contender.
“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 ‘ got,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards,” she said, speaking to
an overflow room of activists.

Coulter isn't distraught, messed up, amateur Iraqi mother like Sheehan, and she's been invited to speak at a main gathering of hard-core, rabid conservatives, so she can't be ridiculed as a side-show. She's a professional slime-bot central to the conservative ethos. Mic e Malkin is another conservative, spittle-spewing slime-bot.
If she pisses you off, she must be doing something right. Like W.
...much as i dont like anne other than for the obvious entertainment value, i think this is kinda funny. sure, its out of line and all that i guess, but it is kind of funny. shes got balls, ill give her that.
she doesn't piss me off. She just yet another indicator of how low and slimy the Repugs/conservatives are. And these are the same people who thought Clinton disgraced the WH? GMAFB.
whott "vores" Coulter's "yoni", like he suck dubya.
You're all a bunch of ing losers.
6,892 of damn near the same posts, and you're calling others a bunch of losers.......
Priceless.
Ann is just a hateful who needs to get laid.

Candidates Criticize Slur by Conservative Author
By ADAM NAGOURNEY
WASHINGTON, March 3 — Three of the leading Republican presidential candidates on Saturday denounced one of their party’s best-known conservative commentators for using an antigay epithet when discussing a Democratic presidential contender at a gathering of conservatives here.
The remarks by Ann Coulter, an author who regularly speaks at conservative events, were sharply denounced by the candidates, Senator John McCain of Arizona, Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. Their statements came after Democrats, gay rights groups and bloggers raised a storm of protest over the remarks.
Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference before an overflow crowd on Friday, Ms. 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 ‘ got,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”
Mr. Edwards’s aides responded with an e-mail message that attacked Ms. Coulter and urged supporters to donate to Mr. Edwards’s campaign. “John was singled out for a personal attack because the Republican establishment knows he poses the greatest threat to their power,” said his campaign manager, David E. Bonior. “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.”
Ms. Coulter, asked for a reaction to the Republican criticism, said in an e-mail message: “C’mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.”
At the conference, she said she was likely to support Mr. Romney.
The criticisms by the Republican candidates put them in a difficult position because the Conservative Political Action Conference has been gathering for conservative and Republican leaders for over 25 years.
The speakers this year included Vice President Cheney and most of the presidential candidates, whose presence suggested the political influence the group holds in the party’s nominating process. Mr. Cheney was not at the event on Friday.
Of the major Republican candidates, only Mr. McCain did not attend, but he denounced her remarks on Saturday morning. “The comments were wildly inappropriate,” said his spokesman, Brian Jones.
Mr. 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 Mr. Romney, said: “It was an offensive remark. Governor Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect.”
Mr. Romney preceded Ms. Coulter at the event and mentioned that she was speaking later — he jokingly referred to her as a “moderate.” But he was not in the room when she spoke, Mr. Madden said.
===============
CPAC invited her,
she probably got a standing ovation after her speech,
they get slimed by her behavior.
OK, that was funny.
Anne Coulter is frickin awesome...always has been.
Slurring political adversaries by calling them " got"...she'd feel right at home on this board.
Didn't she know, it's well known, that the conservative ranks, eg, the group she was speaking to, are riddled with gots? Log Cabin Repugs, etc.
I believe boutons. I think he speaks from experience.
Coulter is a dirty
how old are you? 12?
I'm of the opinion that balls are not the only male physical attribute that she has.
In all seriousness, I used to admire her gutsiness but now its just a schtick and she has become a mockery of herself. It's too bad that the right continues to give her airtime, that really breaks down some of their credibility (especially the more moderate Republicans) and gives unlimited fodder to guys like boutons.
Espousing that kind of rhetoric at a CPAC event is not helpful.
Did I offend you again...pussyface? My bad.
King of slime boutons posts an article about slime.
You and Coulter are at opposite ends of the idealogical spectrum, yet your rhetoric is similar in that it's simultaneously grandiloquent and pathological.
How sad.
Conservatives would do well to distance themselves from the loose cannon Coulter.
Actually, I wish they'd drop the pretense, and embrace her. Gay jokes and denigration are basically written into the GOP platform. Why act like this is a group they give a about?
"not helpful"
es and bas s like her aren't trying to be helpful in a general sense. They are solely interested in being famous, celebrities, and in that "business", turning literally any trick is OK with the target group of johns, who are ideologically inclined, even bound, to support ANYTHING their group members espouse, espeicially in tent meeting like CPAC meeting, just like "believers" will go along with any a Robertson or Hagee or Hubbard or Jim Jones come up with. The more outrageous (to serioius folk), divisive, and polarizing you are, the more $$ opportunities you have on your side of the divide.
The GOP is all about conserving minorities under-privileged and discriminated against, being anti-progress (anti-progressive), exclusive rather than inclusive, divisive rather than uniting, pissed off rather than serious and sober ("Eratus Sum, Ergo Sum")
That Coulter was even invited to speak at CPAC indicates what kind of group CPAC is. She is, with all here divisive , one of their heroes. She can get away with, be applauded for, " got" in front of CPAC gots because the CPAC gots are mostly closet gots who publicly are got-bashers.
hasnt it been proved coulter is man?
Hey...at least she's easier on the eyes than Michael Moore...and less biased.
Libs would give their left nut to have Coulter on their side...
