Ann Coulter Marches off the Deep End
At the Conservative Political Action Committee conference yesterday, she made this "joke": "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot'"....
The crowd whoops and whistles its delight.
(
Here's the video.)
Two things:
Ann Coulter has ceased to be merely irresponsible and is now, flat-out, a bigot. I know Ann and I also know that she is friends with quite a few gay people, and one gay man is one of her closest friends. Wonder how they feel about Ann's turn towards the hate?
Second, the reaction of this crowd is astonishing. They love Coulter's joke. And these are the people whose asses the Republican presidential candidates have to kiss.
No wonder the Democrats recaptured Congress in 2006.....
