Okay. Now we should all feel better. She only used such a hateful word to say Edwards was not macho enough. So she was just insulting "girly men." Good to know, Ann.
It’s a hate word, pure and simple. I heard clips of a stuttering and shaken Coulter appearing on “Hannity and Colmes” in which she was sweating under the interrogation of Alan Colmes (which is like sweating under the interrogation of Mickey Mouse, but I digress,) and became defensive when he asked her what makes her use of the term “faggot” different than if she used a racial slur. Coulter’s brilliant defense was to ask Colmes why it always comes back to “the N-word.” A word he hadn’t even brought up specifically. But as Coulter will do, she tried to spin the issue away from her deplorable use of the “F-word” (well, the “other F-word,” I guess.) She asked Colmes why the conversation always comes back to the n-word. Even though she was the one who brought the conversation there.
"Faggot" is a term of hate that holds almost as much historical power as the n-word. It’s demeaning, degrading, and dehumanizing to an entire group of people. Ann Coulter used the term with malice that reflected in her soulless, hateful eyes. Coulter is an ignorant idiot, and she should be condemned from every level for her insensitive comments- which can be viewed on YouTube for all the world to see.
The worst part is the fact that people are responding to her- including myself- is that it gives her what she wants. She says shocking things to provoke people, to make them angry- and we all play right into it. When is the GOP going to drop this demon bitch for her incendiary form of discourse? Coulter is not attempting to intelligently debate politics- she is talking from the gutter, looking to ignite an angry reaction. There is no level the woman will not stoop to- as we’ve witnessed when she criticized 9/11 widows and implied that former President Clinton was gay- because he liked to sleep with women so much (which makes as little sense to me as it did to everyone else.)
We should all just stop paying attention to her altogether, stop giving her what she wants. In writing this blog entry, I'm guilty of playing right into the witch’s sick and immature games, just because I am responding.
But I won’t stoop to her level. Except to reiterate this point: Ann Coulter is a fucking cunt.
