Ann Coulter refuses to apologise, says that the word "faggot" isn't offensive to gays!!

Fox News carries a story about Borat in a skirt, Ann Coulter. Besieged in the press and by three Republican presidential candidates, Coulter defended herself by saying she was mocking political correctness in America, not homosexuality. Ann Coulter has the impudence to say that "'faggot' isn't offensive to gays; "It has nothing to do with gays." Coulter said on FOX News' Hannity and Colmes, "it's a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss,' and unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."

Some people applaud Ann Coulter for speaking out against Political Correctness, but I disagree. I don't think she’s done anything laudable. I think she is a coward. Let her call John Edwards a faggot if that’s what she truly believes. But the remark is later excused as just being a harmless joke that everyone is over-reacting about. This is damage limitation, Ann Coulter style, only she’s such a klutz, she can’t even keep her mouth shut for long enough to limit any damage, she’s just doing more!

The whole context of the remark reminds me of a shyster lawyer making an inadmissable remark in court knowing full well that it’ll have to be retracted. Well the jury hears the it anyway and the remark still has the desired effect once it’s said out loud. So John Edwards will now forever be known as the guy that Ann Coulter called a faggot. What do you reckon of his chances now? One down, two to go. I wonder what she’s cooking up for Hillary and Obama!

By the way, I had the usual problem of finding an acceptable photograph of Ann Coulter. Who the heck said this woman was hot?
