WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Prominent politicians from both parties and a gay-rights group on Saturday condemned right-wing commentator Ann Coulter for her reference Friday to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "friend."
"Ann Coulter's use of an anti-gay slur yesterday was un-American and indefensible," Edwards said in a posting on his Web site, www.johnedwards.com.
"In America, we strive for equality and embrace diversity. The kind of hateful language she used has no place in political debate or our society at large.
"I believe it is our moral responsibility to speak out against that kind of bigotry and prejudice every time we encounter it."
Edwards' campaign posted the video on their Web site, and asked readers to help them "raise $100,000 in 'Coulter Cash' this week to keep this campaign charging ahead and fight back against the politics of bigotry."
Coulter made her comment in Washington during an address to the 34th annual meeting of the Conservative Political Action Conference, during which she gave her opinions about the Democrats' slate of presidential hopefuls.
"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 'friend,' so I'm - so, kind of at an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards, so I think I'll just conclude here and take your questions," said Coulter, whose comment was followed by applause.
CNN has reached out to Coulter's representative, and received no response.
But the New York Times reported that she responded, in an e-mail, "C'mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean."
A spokesman for Sen. John McCain, a Republican presidential candidate, called Coulter's comments to the conservative group "wildly inappropriate."
In a written statement, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, said, "Ann Coulter's words of hate have no place in the public sphere much less our political discourse. Not only should she apologize but those who participated in the conference with her should denounce her shameful and divisive actions."
"Ann Coulter's use of this anti-gay slur is vile and unacceptable," said Neil G. Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, "and the applause from her audience is an important reminder that Coulter's ugly brand of bigotry is at the root of the discriminatory policies being promoted at this gathering."
In a written statement, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean called on Republicans to denounce her remarks. "There is no place in political discourse for this kind of hate-filled and bigoted comments," he said.
During a question-and-answer session, Coulter referred back to the issue of gays by alluding to the bid for the Republican presidential nomination being made by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
"I do want to point out one thing that has been driving me crazy with the media -- how they keep describing Mitt Romney's position as being pro-gays, and that's going to upset the right wingers," she said. "Well, you know, screw you! I'm not anti-gay. We're against gay marriage. I don't want gays to be discriminated against."
She added, "I don't know why all gays aren't Republican. I think we have the pro-gay positions, which is anti-crime and for tax cuts. Gays make a lot of money and they're victims of crime. No, they are! They should be with us."
A spokesman for Romney called Coulter's use of the slur "offensive."0 -
Got this in an email. I have not checked snopes for authenticity, but it sounds about right for those idiots at MSNBC.
MSNBC Exclusive: Fort Hood Never Happened!
By Ann Coulter
11/25/2009
It's been weeks since eyewitnesses reported that Maj. Nidal Hasan shouted "Allahu akbar" before spraying Fort Hood with gunfire, killing 13 people. Since then we also learned that Hasan gave a medical lecture on beheading infidels and pouring burning oil down their throats (unfortunately not covered under the Senate health care bill). Some wondered if perhaps a pattern was beginning to emerge but were promptly dismissed as racist cranks.We also found out Hasan had business cards printed up with the jihadist abbreviation "SOA" for "Soldier of Allah." Was that enough to conclude that the shooting was an act of terrorism -- or does somebody around here need to take another cultural sensitivity class? AND we know that Hasan had contacted several jihadist Web sites and that he had been exchanging e-mails with a radical Islamic cleric in Yemen. The FBI learned that last December, but the rest of us only found out about it a week ago.
Is it still too soon to come to the conclusion that the Fort Hood shooting was an act of terrorism?
Alas, it IS still too early to tell at MSNBC. For Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews -- at least two of whom would be severely punished under Shariah law -- the shooting of George Tiller was an act of terrorism, no question. The death of a census taker in Kentucky was also an act of terrorism. (We learned this week that it was a suicide/insurance scam.) But as to Maj. Hasan, the jury is still out -- and will be out for many, many years.Actually, according to Keith, the Fort Hood massacre may not have happened at all. He has argued persuasively, on several occasions, that it is impossible, literally impossible, to commit mass murder at a military base.Like many on the left, Keith loved to sneer at all terrorist plots allegedly foiled by the Bush administration. He was particularly contemptuous of the purported plan of six aspiring jihadists to sneak onto the Fort Dix army base and kill as many soldiers as they could.On Nov. 11, 2008, he explained why the Fort Dix terrorist plot was a laughable fraud, saying the "morons" apparently didn't realize that "all the soldiers have these big guns."Keith, the moron, apparently doesn't realize that on military bases on U.S. Soil only MPs have guns. (Special authorization is required for soldiers to carry a firearm, which can be granted only in the case of a specific and credible threat against military personnel in that region. Thank you, Bill Clinton.)
Again on May 21 this year, Olbermann ridiculed the Fort Dix terror plot, pointing out that the six alleged terrorists seemed to be "forgetting that every man there was armed."(Curiously, even though ROTC was offered at the ag school Keith attended, he appears not to have investigated it.)But it was not until Aug. 21 of this year that Olbermann hit upon the true reason for the Bush administration's hyping of this implausible terror plot. According to Keith -- and I'm not kidding -- it was to distract from Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' announcement that her state had been unable to respond adequately to a tornado because Bush had diverted the National Guard to his crazy war in Iraq!
The Bush administration, you see, had revealed the arrest of the Fort Dix conspirators the day after Sebelius' world-reverberating bombshell about Kansas' decimated National Guard! Eureka! This little theory of Keith's, adorable though it is, has problems apart from his insistence that it would be impossible to kill army personnel on "a closed compound full of trained soldiers with weapons." The other problem is Gov. Sebelius was full of crap.
First, Sebelius wasn't in much of a position to know how well Kansas responded to the tornado, inasmuch as she had been partying at New Orleans' Jazzfest the day after the tornado hit -- while Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts and both local congressmen were on the scene, helping the rescue efforts.
Second, the manager of the actual rescue team soon contradicted Sebelius, saying: "We have all the staff that we need and can manage at this time. If we had more people right now, it would just start being a cluster." The Kansas National Guard had 352 Humvees, 72 dump trucks and more than 320 other trucks, which would seem to be sufficient for the town hit by the tornado, Greensburg, Kan., population 1,574. That's almost one National Guard truck for every two people. (This is the same tornado that Obama claimed had killed 10,000 people. He was off by 9,988.)
Third, it turned out that Gov. Sebelius had rejected offers of additional help from neighboring National Guard units.
Consequently, the day after her dramatic cri de coeur for more National Guard resources, Sebelius' office completely reversed course, telling The Associated Press that the rescue efforts were going "just fine."What the governor had meant, her office explained, was that Kansas' National Guard might be stretched thin if, hypothetically, another natural disaster were to strike immediately after the tornado.
Keith, unfortunately, was unaware of Sebelius' humiliating about-face, as it was not carried on Daily Kos.
Last December, five of the Fort Dix plotters were found guilty by a federal jury of conspiring to kill American soldiers. The sixth had already pleaded guilty.
Still, compare the macho posturing of the Bush administration over thwarting the Fort Dix terror plot to the masterful handling of domestic terrorist plots since the angel Obama has taken the helm. Why, the Obama administration managed to capture and arrest Maj. Hasan without violating a single American's civil liberties!

What a breath of fresh air Ann is. Gotta love her.[:)] 0 -
She has never been afraid to call a spade a spade...and I guess she's not afraid to call a "friend" a "friend". It's really fun watching her give the liberals and socialists the fits. A true American...you just have to love her. Beach 0 -

I think this has something to do with the lesbian and Christian hating blogers he hired. Edwards supports their right to speak freely and refuses to fire them from his campaign. So Coulter goes out to say the fa-got word so Edwards will fall into the trap and so "oh this is terrible" but still supports own bigoted campaign workers.
Personally, I don't think this is one argument I would get into now that I think I see the way it's going. There is a better to way to make this argument. The association is being missed by most reporters.0 -
Looks like John Edwards is taking the bait. He does not support hateful childish bigotry... 0 -
I don't think it's being missed. I think it's being ignored.
I don't know much about Edwards, but I don't think he really is homosexual, I think he just tries to appear to be.0 -

Am I missing something here? Did she say "friend," or is that just the GB auto-censor kicking in? I dont unbderstand whats so offensive about the remarks if she said "friend". 0 -
I think they are just scared.

Bingo! You are right on, its a total media double standard and the Democratic supporters can say anything and it does not stick. I have said all along that the best way to "bust their chops" was to be just like them. They are "shrills" but they can't take the behavior when it comes back to them in like kind.
I support anything Ann Coulter says, she is the Hairy Truman of the 2000's. She always has a deeper meaning to what she says and she is not racist nor does she discriminate against Gays.
I love it when the PC crap is tossed back into their faces.[:)]
That is one reason Ted Nugent is making them so angry. He is pulling apart their attempt to make it PC to hate guns and not discuss the second amendment in a public venue. I always make it a point to counter my liberal friends when they bring up the anti-gun conversations. I say "I love guns" have been a target shooter for over 40 years, everyone should own guns for personal protection. Makes them nuts![:0][:0]0 -

Well unless its filth spewed by his employees' on his blog about Christians... then its just good old fashioned free speech.
The guy is a hypocrite.
Ann Coulter is quite witty and funny but she is a bit over the top, ie. insulting, at times for my liking.0 -
Proving again that being smug, arch, mean-spirited and nasty transcends political party.
Her comments reminded me of cheap-assed shock-jock tactics.
I wonder if "aggot-fay" would slip by the auto censor?0 -

"I believe it is our moral responsibility to speak out against that kind of bigotry and prejudice every time we encounter it."
The above comments by Edwards are a standard play when anything is said where they can gain ground.
Using the term "diversity" really means multculturism to me. It does not make for a strong America, becoming an American is what creates a strong America. I don't want my America to become another Iraq or Bosnia with little groups fighting to remain independent cultures within the country. It does not work.
Treating all citizens of this country as individuals, as Americans it what works. The term Diversity is being used as a weapon in the socialist liberal agenda.0 -
You know, what Man Coultier said was stupid. And it's even dumber for you all to defend her. You can't polish a turd. She (and her supporters) ought to own up to what she said, and take the heat. 0 -

Do you call for Dean and Maher to do the same? PS, What's the difference in your "Man Coultier" comment and her comment. She's a turd that can't be polished, but what are you?
If you're going to claim the high road, take it. If you're going to wallow in the mud with her, admit you are two of the same.0 -
I just wish those on the other side of the pollitical fence would get the same treatment...like when they mock others with their racial and socioeconomic insensitivity like Hillary did this weekend. 0 -

I think the meaning of her comment went right over your head![:0][:0]
I wish she would run against Hillary for President. She would kick her butt!0 -
Everyone should know by now that the First Ammendment only applies to democrats. What's wrong with you people??
It is obvious that we should all condemn Ann. Bad girl.

First, I dont' know what Dean and Maher said, so I can't comment.
Second, the "turd" remark refers to her statement, and I think you all know that. There's no way to defend what she said by saying "gee, it refers to a bundle of wood or a cigarette". PUH-LEEZE. I didn't call her a turd. That would be an insult to turds.
Third, the difference between my comment and hers is that I didn't use a derogatory and offensive name for shock effect. Mine was a delightfully witty play on her name and her stock in trade, i.e., her looks, which seems to be what most of her fans first comment on. If she had come up with some other line, it would be different.0 -

Jgreen, she wasn't referring to a bundle of wood or a cigarette. Most liberals exhibit selective dimness when they don't want to understand something. She was referring to the two lesbians Edwards hired to do a hatchet job on Christians. I think you already knew that.
By the way, the one thing has nothing to do with the other but Maher said the world would be better off if Cheney were dead. I have no idea which Dean remark you are referring to. He has said so many stupid things, just pick one.0 -
She only said what a lot of us would like to say. 0 -
