CINCINNATI (TDB) -- Ann Coulter told Fox News' Hannity & Colmes March 5 that her faggot remark used to disparage Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards at CPAC last week had "nothing to do with gays." But her Web site has a headline that says she "rear-ended" a lawyer.
The exact words are, "Ambulance chaser gets rear-ended by Ann Coulter." From there, a link leads to John Edwards 2008 and a video. Her Web site adds, "I'm so ashamed I can't stop laughing!"
(Coulter's site http://www.anncoulter.com/ is difficult to reach at the moment. The links do not want to work reliably. Perhaps somebody can grab her page before the rear-ending stuff gets erased.)
Question: If Coulter is seriously contending that that faggot has nothing to do with gays, then why a reference to rear-ended? Hmmmmm.
Edwards, a former U.S. Senator from North Carolina, was a plaintiff's attorney before turning to politics. He also lost a 16-year-old son in a 1996 traffic accident.
Coulter said on Hannity & Colmes that her faggot remark was not an anti-gay slur. "It has nothing to do with gays. It's a schoolyard taunt meaning wuss. And unless you are telling me John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."
Bill- Thanks for staying w/ this topic. According to Politico (the new big box politics blog)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politico.com/blogs/anneschroeder/0307/Human_Uzi_Take_2.html Coulter repeated the same slur about John Edwards AGAIN, right after the conference.She must feel that she has a real winner. She also made remarks about abortion providers who have been murdered that are not to be believed. Regardless of how one feels about abortion, making light of the murder of doctors is depraved.
By the way, why not provide an e-mail address on your blog so that readers may send tips/links? Cheers...
