Elizabeth Edwards Confronts Ann Coulter

RALEIGH, N.C. (June 27) - Elizabeth Edwards pleaded Tuesday with Ann Coulter to "stop the personal attacks," a day after the conservative commentator said she wished Edwards' husband, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, had been killed by terrorists.
Elizabeth Edwards pleaded Tuesday with Ann Coulter to "stop the personal attacks."
"The things she has said over the years, not just about John but about other candidates, lowers the political dialogue at precisely the time we need to raise it," Edwards said by phone on MSNBC's "Hardball" program, where Coulter was a guest.
Elizabeth Edwards said she did not consult her husband before confronting Coulter on the air, adding that she felt the pundit's remarks were "a dialogue on hatefulness and ugliness.
"It debases political dialogue," Edwards said. "It drives people away from the process. We can't have a debate about issues if you're using this kind of language."
Coulter responded with a laugh and charged that Edwards was calling on her to stop speaking altogether. She questioned why Elizabeth Edwards was making a phone call on behalf of her husband, and she criticized John Edwards for "stealing doctors' money" during his successful career as a trial lawyer.
"I don't think I need to be told to stop writing by Elizabeth Edwards, thank you," Coulter said.
On ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday, Coulter was asked about a March speech in which she used a gay slur to refer to Edwards.
"If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot," Coulter said Monday, picking up on remarks made by HBO's Bill Maher. Maher suggested in March that "people wouldn't be dying needlessly" if Vice President Dick Cheney had been killed in an insurgent attack in Afghanistan.

ann coulter represents everything that people should strive NOT to be
good post there sweetpotato, welcome to the train
"Hi, I'm Ann Coulter. I overpronounce words because it makes me sound smart while I spew biggoted diatribes!"
:rolleyes:

I did see a segment of it on msnbc this morning with the call in... Edwards was just asking her to stop personal attacks like making fun of her son dying and Coulter basically acted like an 8 year old with her fingers in her ears going la-la-la-la-la... well not literally, but her only comeback was that Edwards was telling her to quit writing and trying to take away her speech... I guess if you are a one trick pony like coulter, taking away personal attacks and hate speech pretty much would take away her entire career.

She's made fun of their son Wade dying? I hadn't heard that.
I really tried to watch this last night, but it was just what I expected it to be and I couldn't take more than 10 minutes of her hate filled crap.

Not directly, but more so of John taking advantage of it I think. I don't know the exact context, but one of the examples that Elizabeth brought up when she called was that Coulter said after Wade's death that John should drive around with an "ask me about my dead son" bumpersticker on it. Real classy....

how about stop raising illegal funds for your campaign?
granted Coulter is out there sometimes, but in this instance i disagree with the title of the thread
and im going to be the minority here i know, i know
Things like your comment right there about raising illegal funds is exactly what the debate should be... I don't know of any illegal fundraising by Edwards, but issues raised like that should be on the table... when you take coulters approach and venomously attack someone personally, I think that is a worthless "contribution" to any possible dialog about issues.
While there are plenty of commentators on both sides who make money by taking the negative approach of how the other side governs or approaches problems (instead of actually offering realistic solutions), but she makes her money on personal cheapshots and outright personal attacks.

and when edwards called her on it cuntler's response "that was like 3 years ago".....so that makes it ok...:rolleyes:
oh i totally agree with you about the debate 100% and the fundraising, but you know what you are getting with Coulture and i dont see why this is such a suprise with people
alot of people make money of making cheapshots...Bill Maher, Keith Olberman, Bill O'Reilly, the list goes on and on...
well put

He sure does get upset easily over what others think about him.

yeah i just love political radio talk show hosts...i dont care what side of the fence they lean on...there is always entertainment to be found
Or did he insult Beck, who then just insulted him back (by accusing Olbermann of McCarthyism (?) no less)?
Not a very substantial clip there Pjalive.
but i like how the supposed high-brow left is so in touch with satire when it comes to carlin and maher, but the dino media COMPLETELY misses the fact ann's shot was at maher for wanting Cheney to die in a terrorist plot.
this is a really pathetic attempt by the Edwards campaign...her "joke" about the kid was a jab at the family using the son's death for political gain...
and it's kinda funny, that ann coulter goes on a show hosted by a complete half-wit, and edwards has his wife call up to defend him when he's opposed to going on fox...what a fucking joke.
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Ann Coulter didn't either...either you are too slow to actually understand she was pointing out Edwards was exploiting their kids death, or you are a talking point sponge...
