She is just doing what she is paid to do!

Edwords is good looking and well dressed, things a certain segment of the population associate to gays, the word faggot resonates with these same people . Coulter made the Edwords/faggot association and then everybody else repeated it ad naseum. But that was OK because everybody else was just talking about what Coulter said. Still the claim was repeated until it will never be forgotten and nobody has to say they approve. It’s the street theater of political advertising.

Hey, the reason Ann Coulter is popular is because the far right wing is stupid and gullible. Nobody could believe the bile she puts forth on a regular basis, but they keep buying her books.

AC is another media phenomena. Created by the media because she says off the wall things (many true and well said). I agree with what Barnaby says. Personally, I like her and read with interest what she says. She’s a spokesperson for the people in this country who are sick to death of everything having to be said correctly and not stepping on someone’s poor little black, white, green, yellow, red toes. The general American public person, like myself who is just sick of the media blowing everything out of proportion.

How is AC any different than Jesse Jackson and his rants against Jews and Whites?

If you want to bring up racist comments, cover both sides, please.

Just wanted to say David Brooks deserves to be tenured, to use your turn of words.

Wow! Lighten up Francis. How in the world did that Fox News envy get into this? I’d prefer we stick to safer subjects…like religion.

I think the media lets AC have a seat at the table BECAUSE she occasionally goes off into the ozone (Raising the question “Is AC bad for the environment”???).

As people have pointed out, Media Lefties say stupid or horrible things all the time. They don’t get much press because their part of the same “team” in the Them vs. Us battle of US politics.

Perhaps it’s time for a little revolution and build a viable, grass-roots based, middle-of-the-road third party. I don’t think the country needs any more Left or Right wing self-appointed demagogues. I think it needs a reasonable, moderate alternative that can compete on a national level and start taking seats (and thus power) AWAY from both Democins and Republicrats.

Let’s leave politcs out. Please! Lump Ann Coulter in with The Daily Show and Colbert Report. Comedy/Sattire and biased news reports; if you can stomach those (ratings say you can) then you can stomach her too.

I’m sorry. Didn’t Greg say he originally liked Anne Coulter for being the opposite of Franken and Maher? But quit liking her after she became a media clown?
But it’s true, how can you stand behind someone who is only saying these things to get press? And, calling someone a “Faggot,” should not be protected by free speech, no matter what party you are aligned with. Even more disheartening is when she told a disabled Vietnam Vet, that people like him had lost them the war. HOW can anyone defend that? HOW?
Fine, defend her for making statements about Liberals, when Bill Maher and Al Franken get away with the same sort of thing.
But don’t defend someone who just attacks to get a rise out of people and in such a rude, rude fashion as to insult a vetern and 9/11 wives.
Shame.

I don’t see what all the fuss is about. I don’t see anything wrong with what she said personally. Bill Maher (and many others like him) can seem to say whatever they like and nobody makes a big deal about it. Since when does free speech only apply to left-leaning liberals?
