Well, I'm just glad they feel pressure to distance themselves from her comment. At least that is move in the right direction... next they might feel pressured to distance her from the party altogether. I read what she said about everyone at the conference (but can't find it now, or I'd link to it) and, frankly, what she said about the other Democratic candidates was nearly as appalling. I don't care if her being associated with the Republicans actually helps us, I'd just like her to be treated like cretin she is.

But, Coulter has said much worse...why condemn her now? She's always been a vile racist shrew.

Nasty, but I think seriously true: Coulter is a masterbation icon for a certain type of Republican-American, sorta the NASCAR-Goes-to-Community-College type.  (No offense to those who, like me, are alumni of community colleges.  Please tell me "None taken".)  I think that is the basis of her longevity on the TV.  I almost wrote "tube"  but  thanks to a certain congresscritter, I now know that this post will be going out on the tubes.

If Edwards was really cool...he would say:

"I'm not gay.  But I don't consider being called gay an insult."

I enjoyed Whoopi's comment. It's likely that her bush is more enjoyable, and certainly smarter, than the bush we currently suffer.

I predict this story will have legs big time.  Even though she's not a candidate, the story will keep popping up as a question in debates, candidate forums, etc.  Not only that, it will provide fodder for Dem commercials for years:  The guy we're running against attended conventions with haters like Ann Coulter.  It will also be extrapolated to apply to racism.  The word is clearly on the same plane as the N-word.  The Right will get tired of it and her name will be mud.  (They have no problem with scapegoating their own.)  

Her own career will also never be the same.  We won't be seeing her as a Right-wing debater on political talk shows anymore.  All her future appearances will be only in reference to her own self-destruction.  She was "out there" before, but now she's crossed a line from which there is no coming back.  

Bye Ann. (Can't say we'll miss you.)

It sends a nice message to the base:

"The manliest of your tribe will be thrown under the bus, because your bullshit is now officially out of vogue.

"We will not protect you.  We will not hide you.  We do not know who you are.  You never appeared on any of our registers.  My apologies.  Please leave."

How much better can it get?  They're kicking one of their attack dogs.

Coulter has been pulling this shit for too long. I don't know why when Dem guests do on Hannity and he is on his self righteous two faced hypocritical tirades against the ugly statements by the "radical" left, no one confronts him with a few of the numerous terrible things people like Coulter have been saying for YEARS. The press is acting like either 1) This is the lowest Coulter has sunk to minimizing how horrible this woman is  2) That Coulter is one of the few wild cannons on the right and as if the repub establihsment hasn't been cheering her on all these years. She has been getting heroic receptions at many repub gatherings over the years.

Coulter's comments are even more disgusting when you realize that she isn't even a true conservative believer.  She has fully embraced politics as a blood sport, purposedly makes imflammatory comments for the purpose of getting publicity, and is in her line of work strictly for the money.

These aren't off the cuff comments.  They are carefully considered and thrown out for the purpose of getting attention.

None of the Rep organizers or candidates have any right to act surprised that she said what she said: of course she said something controversial.  That's what they were paying her to do.  You don't write Coulter a check so she can come to your event and provide a thoughtful analysis on issues.  You hire her because she's the one person shameless enough to get on a stage and say something racist or homophobic.

Who is Ann Coulter? Didn't she die a day or two ago?  LOL.

Why does the MSM keep giving Coulter a pass as a "comic"? She's never been a comic, never worked the comedy circuit & never done standup. She's a lawyer and a right wing pundit. She makes a living spewing whatever hateful vomit pops into to her brittle, anorexic head at any moment.
