Edwards Campaign Responds to Coulter Calling Him 'Faggot'
Ann Coulter

By E&P Staff

Published: March 03, 2007 6:05 PM ET updated Saturday

NEW YORK In recent years she has suggested that Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Al Gore have or may have homosexual tendencies. Now columnist/author Ann Coulter has targeted former senator (and current candidate for president) John Edwards.

Edwards responded on Saturday with a statement: "Ann Coulter's use of an anti-gay slur yesterday was un-American and indefensible. In America, we strive for equality and embrace diversity. The kind of hateful language she used has no place in political debate or our society at large. I believe it is our moral responsibility to speak out against that kind of bigotry and prejudice every time we encounter it."

The Edwards campaign also responded by trying to fundraise some "Coulter Cash."

Speaking Friday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference CPAC) in Washington, D.C., Coulter closed her remarks with: “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.”

Audience members appeared startled, then many clapped, and she opened the floor to questions. The event was carried on C-SPAN. Many newspapers, including The New York Times, covered the event but failed to mention the Coulter slur at first.

But David Bonior, the former congressman and now Edwards campaign manager, responded in an email to supporters, "This is just a taste of the filth that the right-wing machine is gearing up to throw at us. And now that it's begun, we have a choice: Do we sit back, or do we fight back?

"I say we fight. Help us raise $100,000 in 'Coulter Cash' this week to show every would-be Republican mouthpiece that their bigoted attacks will not intimidate this campaign. I just threw in 100 bucks. Will you join me?

"Coulter's attack was no accident. It happened on national television at one of the year's biggest conservative conferences....If we can raise $100,000 in 'Coulter Cash' this week, we can show that bigotry will only backfire on those who use it."

Democratic Party chief Howard Dean weighed in later: "There is no place in political discourse for this kind of hate-filled and bigoted comments. While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds. The American people want a serious, thoughtful debate of the issues. Republicans -- including the Republican presidential candidates who shared the podium with Ann Coulter today -- should denounce her hateful remarks."

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

“The comments were wildly inappropriate,” said Brian Jones, a spokesman for McCain.

The remarks also drew disapproval from some popular conservative commentators. Ed Morrissey on his Captain's Quarters blog wrote: "Yeah, that's just what CPAC needs -- an association with homophobia. Nice work, Ann."

Michelle Malkin expressed disapproval, and at her Hot Air site regular contributor "Bryan" wrote: "I’m no fan of John Edwards, but that’s just a stupid joke. It’s over the line. The laughter it generated across the room was more than a little annoying. Last year it was 'raghead.' This year it’s calling John Edwards a 'faggot.' Two years in a row, Coulter has finished up an otherwise sharp CPAC routine with an obnoxious slur that liberals will fling at conservatives for years to come. Thanks, Ann."

Vice President Cheney addressed the group on Thursday. Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney appeared before her on Friday. Sen. John McCain skipped the event.

The New York Times' Adam Nagourney failed to mention the crack about Edwards, in observing Saturday in the paper: "The conference drew thousands of attendees, many of whom waited in a long line out the door for a late-afternoon appearance by Ann Coulter, the conservative author and commentator."

Later Saturday he posted a blog item at www.nytimes.com that did discuss the Coulter crack. For Sunday's paper he elicited this reply from Coulter: “C’mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.”

The Washington Post covered the conference but did not mention Coulter at all in its news report. Neither did the Associated Press, which also attended. UPI did mention the "faggot" quote in its report.

The Los Angeles Times on Saturday quoted Coulter and even put the controversy in a headline. It closed the article: "A Giuliani spokeswoman said she had not heard the speech, and a Romney spokesman did not return calls late Friday."

The Post's Dana Milbank, in a column for the Saturday paper, observed: "Ann Coulter used an anti-gay slur to describe John Edwards (the line drew applause) and asked: 'Did Al Gore actually swallow Michael Moore?' When a questioner asked Coulter why she praises marriage but broke off so many engagements, she responded by calling the questioner ugly."

Coulter's column is distributed by Universal.

I wonder if someday she'll get audited and it'll turn out she's been on the Democratic payroll this whole time to help stir up campaign contributions.

03-05-2007, 01:15 PM

She is an idiot and a joke, not worth the worry.

elSicomoro · 03-05-2007, 01:19 PM

I'd like to put her and Michael Moore in a cage and let them fight to the death...both are not overly useful for their particular side.

There are two reasons to care about her. Not for herself (there's nothing so stupid that there isn't someone who will say it, and she's just another of those someones), but for what others do with her.

First, there is nothing she can say that will cause her to be dropped from the cable channels and newspapers that tout her as a conservative commentator. This is an indicator of the level of political discourse.

Second, she lays the groundwork for the next wave of conservative commentators to say what she was saying, but in a more "reasonable" tone. Just wait and see - they'll be calling Edwards effeminate and wishy washy pretty soon.

First of all, she is not conservative. http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=13475
Secondly, good, showing that they are mean-spirited assholes is a good thing.

Happy Monkey · 03-05-2007, 05:26 PM

She is conservative like Mormons are Christian. And the conservative movement looks a lot like Utah at the moment, to further the analogy.

03-05-2007, 05:33 PM

Mormons are Christian, they worship Christ, therefore they are Christian.
There is nothing conservative about the new Republicans or Coulter's message. They want a theocratic police state.

Yeah, but they also believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet.

Stormieweather · 03-05-2007, 11:22 PM

Seventh Day Adventists believe that Ellen G. White was a prophet.

personally I think she was clinically insane

So, a lot of Christians believe in the Rapture, equally nuts.

elSicomoro · 03-06-2007, 09:39 AM

But Mormons are on the fringe...not quite as out there as the snakecharmers, but still viewed with hefty skepticism. Hey...whatever works.

I think we might be ready for a black or a woman president...barely. But a Mormon or a Jewish one? No...not yet.

And Coulter shares some views with conservatives, therefore she is conservative.

Of course, for Mormons, Jesus is one of two sons of the god of Earth, who is just one of many gods, and a good Mormon man can become a god of his own planet when he dies. But hey, Jesus is in there, so they're Christian. Likewise, Coulter likes the low taxes, so she's conservative.

03-06-2007, 01:26 PM

I am curious... what has she stated that is conservative?
I've never heard her say one thing that was conservative. She advocates sweeping federal taxes, nothing conservative there.
I believe in the separation of church and state, someone's religion has nothing to do with their politics. Mormon, Buddhist, Catholic, I don't care what his religion is as long as their stand on the issues jives with mine.

Anyone notice that CNN didn't pick the most flattering photograph of her for this story?

Braaaaains...braaaains...
