CoulterSpeak



Gay Aspersion At Conservative Conference Draws Flak

Everybody knows that people have the Constitutionally-protected right to say unspeakable things about America, conservatives, the Catholic Church, assassination attempts on the President and the Vice-President...

Heaven forbid a conservative pundit like Ann Coulter makes the mistake of thinking she has the same freedom of speech rights.

In my opinion, it was an unfortunate choice of words. It would've been funnier had Ann used the word 'pansy', or 'fairy', or 'fancy boy', or 'wand-waving Tinkerbell'...

Or Laura Ingraham's favorite, 'Silky Pony'...

Or Rush's favorite, 'Breck Girl'...

But those words don't land you into rehab... yet!

In the old use, a faggot was a certain amount of wood, used also to mean an old woman. Which could be used to describe Edwards...
Also was slang for a cigarette.
Which can also describe him as a smouldering weed that is bad for your health...
Afternoon, Cube!

lol. That reminds me of the old meaning of cute... bowlegged! Meanings change over time. What irks me is that the left has assumed that they can say whatever they want without the kind of fallout the right receives for speaking their mind. I want a playing field that approaches fair, at least asymptotically.

For an unapologetic defense of Ann's right to free speech, see

She chose to use a hot button word that happens to have a variety of meanings.
If she had said he was a girlie man then no one would have said anything about it. Right?
Or she could have challenged John Edwards to an arm wrestle.

I think she thoroughly enjoys making liberals furious.

brooke: I'm all for someone who stands us to the hatespeech from the left & is unapologetic about her defiance. I say, go girl!

j.d.: Girlie man, brief-wearing nancy pants, yes, it would've just blown over ;-)
