Howard Dean Demands GOP Candidates Denounce Ann Coulter for Referring to John Edwards as a 'Faggot'
Saturday, March 03, 2007
Democratic Party boss Howard Dean demanded that Republican presidential candidates denounce conservative columnist Ann Coulter after she referred to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards as a "faggot" during a speech Friday at a national conservative gathering.
Coulter, who was addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., said:
"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word "faggot," so I — so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards."

Members of the audience seemed startled, then many clapped, and she proceeded to open the floor to questions, reported EditorandPublisher.com
After her comments, Dean issued a press release expressing his outrage. Dean called Coulter’s remarks "hate-filled and bigoted."
“While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds. The American people want a serious, thoughtful debate of the issues,” the press release read.
"Republicans — including the Republican presidential candidates who shared the podium with Ann Coulter today — should denounce her hateful remarks."
Why would they even have this woman as a guest speaker knowing that she would most probably spew some vile remark, as evidenced by her past behavior, after all, this is how she makes her living!
Thanks to Brian from: Brave Humans for mentioning this to me in an email...Somehow I had missed it :p

She is intentionally inflammatory and a smut monger of the worst degree. "Vile" is right.
Groucho Marx once said in jest: "I would never be a member of any group that would have me as a member!"
As funny as that is, it is the same logic that prevents me from associating with anything Republican, because how can I be a part of a group that has so many "vile" members?
