Posted By Aidenag 1 year, 7 months ago in NewsAt least three major companies want their ads pulled from Ann Coulter's Web site, following customer complaints about the right-wing commentator referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot."

Coulter made her first public remarks since the incident on Foxnews a little bit ago. She tried to downplay it, and blamed Democrats and the "Left" for her own bigotry.

It's the Democrats fault she called someone a faggot and became shunned by even the leaders in her own party.
Yeah, well that makes sense.

She is so arrogant that even when she's dead wrong, she thinks shes right.
I'll never forget her interview on CBC...

Heh, heh, ha, ha, ha. That is GREAT stuff. I hope this Conwoman goes down in flames. She has been spreading her hate, lies, spin and half-truths long enough. Bye, Ann. We'll be seeing you on Hollywood Square.

Bkumm - So unlike the hate, lies, spin and half-truths spread by the Left. I don't think so. There is too much of it on both sides. Her opinion has just as much right to be expressed as yours.

It isn't to do with a right; she isn't in trouble with the law- it is to do with Ann Coulter shooting her crazy, foaming mouth off yet again and taking flack for it because so few agree with her. You have a right to say just about whatever you want, but if people disagree with you, they will tell you you're wrong.
And there is no one that represents the left, that is as crazy and offensive as Ann Coulter.

Wasn't she one of those who calld for the Dixie Chicks to be boycotted because she didn't like what Natalie Maines said. I guess if it's okay for her to do it's okay to do it to her.

Explain yourself. What hate, lies and half-truths have been spun by the left from a mouthpiece like Ann Coulter. Has anyone of her standing on the left told conservatives that they wanted everyone outside of thier enclaves to die? I don't think so. But, she has.
She is a one person spin machine. The conservatives have been allowed to spin, lie and sell half-truths to the American people long enough. We're DONE, Tag. It's OVER. No more.

Well, this should give her pause, hitting her where she pays the most attention...her bank account.
I hope that those companies which rescind their sponsorship see fit to redirect some of that ad money to more moderate and positive sources.
I'm glad that her corporate sponsorship is taking some action; I wonder how many other corporate sponsors will remain, now that some have already left.
Whatever companies do remain sponsors should be boycotted.

Right on. If O'Lie, dangit why do I keep doing that? If O'Reilly can do it so can we.
Just on her site, no adds except for a couple of Google ads. Hard to get on her site, must be a lot of traffic.

The Dixie Chicks were refused air time for advertisement that they wanted to pay for and that could be considered censorship. Ann Coulter is being paid by advertisers that are being asked to consider who they support or face a boycott. That is a little different. Ann is still able to speak her peace (not censorship) where the Dixie Chicks could not buy air time with money in hand (censorship).

Ann Coulter will always have an open invitation by the media to spout her hateful views. This has been going on for years now, nothing new here. She tries to get attention by making rash remarks, and it works. When will the media get wise to her act? I'm looking at you, NBC (Today show appearance just last month and on MSNBC's Hardball), and CNN (Paula Zahn, formerly of Fox News channel). CNN (Certainly Not News) has been trying to outFox Fox News with people like Glen Beck. We know Coulter's a regular on Fox News, but that's not a legitimate news channel, just a propaganda network for the RNC. Apparently Ann Coulter speaks for a large contingent of the Republican Party, which tells you what a bunch of hate-filled racists they are.

The media will never "get wise" to people making provocative remarks in order to get attention. The media LOVES it when people make provocative remarks to get attention. It gets THEM attention in the form of a larger audience, which brings them more money in the form of higher ad revenue, which is why they exist in the first place.

giss - Ann Coulter doesn't speak for me and I'm Rep. I take her with a grain of salt, sometimes she actually makes a legitimate point. No one is wrong ALL of the time.
The Left refuses to admit ANY bias in the news media, except for Fox, which actually has both sides equally represented. They say Fox News is right wing propaganda. Well, they had Coulter, Darryl Hannah and an evironmentalist pushing GW on talking about the environment and energy. While I don't agree with Darryl Hannah about many things, she made more sense than either of them. Coulter kept on about candles and made a fool of herself.
My church is an African church based in Westville, South Africa and we are very conservative and very multi-racial. I see much more hate coming from the Left.

you need both a dictionary and, if you are a citizen of the U.S., to take a look at what, oh, say, George Washington had to say about 'liberalism'...
and in case you didn't know who George Washington is (assumption based on your post), he was the first President of these United States.

A faggot is a bundle of sticks, just in case any of you forgot what a dictionary is. Man, don't you have something better to do. Anyway I have to finish being audited to pay for some welfare receipients to go back to New Orleans, so Ray Nagin won't sue the government for lost revenues.

Never mind. Someone alreadyy called, and said she cancelled her Version for just this reason. I don't have Version, and I doubt a boycott would work for this person. She is not well-liked even by Republicans. I do think it is silly to fight over a word. If we have fits over every word theat offends, we won't be able to speak.

Don't worry about Ann Coulter. We will all witness her downfall. Did you notice her sheer arrogance as she smugly delivered her uncomedic, vapid material?
Soon, as she gracelessly ages, the corporate mechanism which created her will dispose of her - as they did Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith & scores of other short-shelf-life blondes.

This is hardly her downfall. As she said on Hannity there must have been 20 incidents like this one that should have been career enders. She thrives on controversy, that is how she makes a living. Her followers see no error in her ways. If they could they would be running around calling everyone on the left "fa--ots". In the schoolyard taunt meaning of the word, of course.
These are sick people, full of hatred for their fellow man. The left should go out of the way not to respond to these people. For it is the response they most enjoy.

Coulter is certainly deserving of censure by her advertisers. The more fundamental problem is that the RNC of today has built its coalition of support on the very hatred, bigotry, financial elitism and racism that Coulter and Republican ad agencies adore.
The more senatorial of the party know better then to openly say such things, but their actions speak louder than their words. And they have for years invited Coulter to speak to them because she was, up until this extra egregious slip, able to get away with saying in comical ways the very things they so deeply believe.

Minus the 'comedy'. Falling on a banana peel is comedy...jabbing someone in the eye with a sharp, splintered stick (analogy of Coulter's 'humor') is not

At least Kerry apologized for those remarks.
When is Coulter going to do the same?
For that matter, when is McCain going to apologize for calling the troops killed in Iraq "wasted lives"? The Right demanded (and got) an apology from Obama for saying almost the same thing.
Yes, people on both sides of the aisle sometime say stupid things. At least people on the Left don't think that admitting that they were wrong is a sign of weakness.

Hey Ann, thanks for yanking Edwards out of the closet. I was totally unaware of his leanings, but it sure explains some doubts I had.
This is sort of like John Kerry making a comment about Cheney's daughter and then acting as if it was not intended to hurt anyone.
In Ann's case, she knew it would sting Edwards and did the right thing, she yanked him out of the closet. Way to go Ann. The left and the Democrats are always going to be upset when the truth comes out. For the Dems, lies are the truth and form the basis for their carefully crafted public persona. Look at Hillary, last week she was a Black Woman, until Obama jumped in and people were forced to reconcile what their lying eyes were telling them. Look at that, Hillary is White! OMG
