Sorry for the short diary. It speaks for itself, I think:
Via Think Progress: Coulter: I Would Talk About Edwards But "You Have To Go Into Rehab If You Use The Word ‘Faggot’"
Speaking today at the Conservative Political Action Conference, right-wing pundit Ann 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 ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards." Audience members said "ohhh" and then cheered.
More below the fold...
I wonder how many of of those legitimate news people will actually even cover this or demand an apology (like every time a Democrat miss-speaks but doesn’t mean anything close of this sort of hate)?
Probably none.
Let's review Ann's history of hate speech:
Coulter said of the media: "Would that it were so! ... That the American military were targeting journalists."
Coulter suggested that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) is "the reason soldiers invented fragging," -- military slang meaning the intentional killing of a member of one's own unit.
Coulter argued that the national debate during the Monica Lewinsky controversy should not have focused on whether former President Bill Clinton "did it," but rather "whether to impeach or assassinate" him.
Coulter said of Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens: "We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens's créme brulée.''
Those are just some of the more recent items I grabbed from Media Matters. I have a compliation somewhere. If I can find it, Ill post it, but it's really not necessary. Everyone on here knows her for who she is.
Send her some love:
Ann Coulter

UPDATE I:
Hey guys, listen up.
I know it's easy to make jokes about the monster's sexual orientation, trans-gendered possibilities, but it's really no different than her calling Edwards gay. I do it too. I make the same jokes, but for the sake of THIS diary, let's not.
It's in appropriate and it obviously hurts people feelings in the community.
UPDATE II:
So, if a front pager duplicates my diary 50 minutes after me am I supposed to ask them to delete it? [wink wink]
