    I don't know Ann Coulter. I don't think she actually thinks John Edwards is gay. I will agree she is plain nuts. I also would assert that the Democrat running for US Senate in Minnesota is plain nuts. Coulter's remark was meant to be comedic. If you listen to her saying things about each Democrat running for President, it would fit right into an ill advised rant. You cannot excuse one's behavior while picking out the same sort of behavior from another and saying it is wrong. As one on the right, I will not bring up the obvious sexism this is showing since all on this thread are excusing the behavior of a white male while deriding that of a female though. That would just not be my style. ;)

    It has nothing to do with sexism...another reach, kinda like the race card you're so fond of. ;)

    I don't have to know her to tell she's being serious when calling 9/11 widows money grubbing broads. What you posted just isn't even close to the things Coulter spews routinely. The fact that that's all you could come up with just proves my point. It just wasn't the same, sorry. Better searching next time. What am I excusing Franken from anyways? The fact that he tried but to be funny and failed miserably?

    I believe that Coulter's crap is the same as that skit. They were both ridiculously bad attempts at humor. One was by an annoying television personality. The other was by a major party candidate for US Senate.


    She is serious...that's the difference

    She's serious about Edwards being gay? How could you possibly not think this was a lame attempt at humor in a roast style of speech?

    come on now, z, that's not the point...the point is she pretty much called edwards a faggot in front of a large Conservative crowd, many of whom cheered and applauded...

    let's take mann out of this, let's say if anybody said what she said, it would be addressed and should be condemned...

    I'm talking about her body of work in general. Also, with Edwards she singled him out personally in an attempt to insult him....not the same as your clip which was obviously tongue in cheek and wasn't personally insulting a single person while using bigotry to boot.

    I still think she shoulda been a blowjob that ended with a spit in a napkin.


    I knew that somebody would post that quote from Moore that I just couldn't remember. Thanks!!!
    You've changed your place in this world!

    Franken once challenged a columnist to a fight. He has shown a history of violence now and should be condemned as well. How is one insult always tongue in cheek and another so wrong? I think they are both horrible and inexcusable wastes of existence.

    It's not okay at all. I am just using the same argument that many on this board use constantly. He, as an aspiring public official, is much more dangerous than some blowhard editorialist.

    Meh....

    People like Franken and Coulter are so caught up in their own bullshit that "serious" is not really a good word. The only thing people like that are "serious" about is discrediting their opposition, rather than standing on their own principles.

    in that case, franken is a jackass and shouldn't be elected...

    I'm serious...

    I actually believe that you are serious about that.

    Challenging some to a fight is completely childish but did he actaully attack the guy? Look, Franken is a tool, you don't have to convince me. But I disagree that he is on the same level as Coulter. I view her to believe the bullshit she says and seemingly never regret any of it.

    I can agree with that. But the point still stands that Coulter's words and tactics are in a class by themselves.

    If she seemed to regret it, this thread wouldn't be six pages and her buzz would drop. I'm just giving the other side of this debate. I do see Franken as mean though and believe that he would see no problem with physical violence against a political opponent.

    Coulter is not simply a joke. Many people will listen to her and laugh, but there are those who idolize her. She is a seriously confused individual, and I maintain that she would bennefit from therapy.

    "Coulter" and "class" should never share a sentence.
