Coulter a Small Sample of the Far Right


Days after calling Presidential candidate John Edwards a “faggot” people in the right have come out against her, but how sincere are they when they criticize her? Rudolph Giuliani said the comments were “inappropriate and there should be no place for such name-calling in political debate.” A spokes person for the Romney campaign said “It was an offensive remark. Governor Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect.” And the McCain Campaign said “The comments were wildly inappropriate.” But does that mean that Coultergeist will not be speaking at anymore of their rallies? I doubt it.
Ann Coulter has been treated like a rock star in the right, If you watch the video of the comments made by her during the CPAC political event the people who were listening to her, were far from offended, they were clapping and cheering her on. Coulter has said that it was a “joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean.” Pehaps it was necessary for her to tell us it was a joke, because it was not funny.
But to the people in the CPAC political event it is amusing. IMHO this shows the bigotry and intolerance that make up the far right. That’s who they are, Ann Coulter is their face, their representative. That is what they stand for.
