One thing I like about Edward's (strickly speaking in COMPARISON of the other Democrat's, ofcourse) is that he doesn't seem to be overwhelmed with cowing down to the so-called "black base". I think it is ridiculous that Obama and Hillary are working so hard for the "black vote". Kinda silly if you ask we. Why not try to get "American's" to vote for you instead of going for the "black" then the "latino" then the "asian" then the "gays" .....

:LIGHT BULB MOMENT:

Okay, I get it now.

Ann Coulter fights real dirty. . .but this only appears to be your typical ad hominem-throwing pundit; on the contrary, her comments are thoroughly premeditated and well-aimed.

She's thinking 2-3 moves ahead of liberals and many conservatives (like me) who were first thinking of condemning her as a pundit, author, commentator, whatever.

She is a polemicist first and foremost.  We all (lib and con alike) seem to keep forgetting that.  Her "faggot" grenade was thrown in retaliation for Edward's blogs. . .I just didn't make the connection. 

Between Coulter and Dennis Miller conservatives really make you think hard about the reasons why they say and do things. Listening to them is not for the knee-jerk reactionary.

So, sure it was cruel--but not misguidedly so.  She's fighting a culture war and she's in it to win it.

This is what I have been saying for days.

"We can't stand silently by and allow language like this to be used," Edwards said. Honestly, what does he propose to do about it? Pass a law against saying the word, "faggot?"

I am one of the few right-wing Christian bloggers who dares to speak out against Ann Coulter's behavior --and my reasons far exceed one stupid little word.

Nonetheless, we have to keep in mind that the Democrat party on a whole is seeking 'hate speech' laws that are designed to do exactly what Edwards said. The Democrats want to silence any speech against homosexuals.

Edwards is fine with allowing free speech against some groups, but not others. He is in the wrong country. Here in America, we can speak against any group we wish to speak against. And as much as I do not like Ann Coulter's overall behavior, she legally is allowed to say all that she has said. (I just hope that next year the CPAC will consider not inviting her, so she does not cause further damage to the Conservative movement. And I can only hope that one day she will stop acting like she represents the right-wing Christian movement.)

The most tragic thing about this whole non-issue is candidates that were there to speak to conservatives, raced to condemn Ms. Coulter [ exercising free speech ]  for commenting about the suppression of free speech. Political Correctness is the left's way of silencing speech they not only don't agree with, but won't tolerate. How soon we forget the Jersey Girls. It's also sad that, other than  Gilmore[sp?] and Tancredo, Ann may have been the only speaker, that had a pair.

World renowned Daddy’s in San Fran changed their name to 440
Castro but not the weekly fun. “Every
first Wednesday's Faggot Wednesdays” says The Guide, a website devoted to the
city’s nightlife. If one Goggles "faggot", the word is proven to be a very popular expression. The use of “faggot”, however, must be one of those things that are OK
for them, but not you. The lefties can call the President and VP murderers, liars;
well you think of it, they have been called it. Remember the outrage when Pres.
Clinton was called rapist? I don’t really know why Coulter used the faggot reference;
however, I am simply amazed every time the left explodes in indignation over
such things versus the silence of the MSM when the tables are turned.
