Coulter the Comedian
Ann Coulter calls John Edwards a “faggot” at CPAC.
“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.”
We already know she’s deranged, but her outstanding record of labeling Democrats as “fags” and “faggots” goes too far. I don’t know what’s worse: that her words are so violent and therefore are so denigrating the public discourse, or that Republicans and CPAC attendees are eating this shit up and loving it.
A comment like this just demonstrates America’s need for building the progressive movement. In a society where homophobic epithets are celebrated, we need to be vigilant of a subtle acceptance towards other forms of discrimination.
Plus, an ad hominem argument severely undermines one’s credibility and cannot lay a foundation for a reasonable discussion.
