E&P: Coulter's Syndicate Won't React to 'Faggot' Slur
Editor&Publisher: Coulter's Syndicate Won't React to 'Faggot' Slur
By Dave Astor
Published: March 05, 2007

NEW YORK Ann Coulter's syndicate declined to comment about her Friday slur implying Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is a "faggot."

When contacted by E&P today, Universal Press Syndicate issued a statement saying it "can only address Ms. Coulter's newspaper column," not her speeches. Universal added: "To date, we have not heard from any of her client newspapers about the verbal remark. Yes, her client list is still about 100."

If Coulter submitted a column containing the word "faggot," would Universal allow it? A syndicate spokesperson replied that Universal "is not going to speculate about a column that hasn't been written."

Universal was also asked how it would have reacted if Coulter had slurred an African-American politician with the "N" word (the racial equivalent of "faggot"). The syndicate declined to answer....

Coulter followed up her slur against Edwards with a note on her Web site saying Edwards' campaign manager -- former Congressman David Bonior -- "is fronting for Arab terrorists".

Unlike many cases in the past, several leading conservative commentators have joined in condemning Coulter's "faggot" remark, as have Republican candidates for president McCain, Romney and Giuliani.

1. I don't understand all the conservative condemnation of coulter?
Edited on Mon Mar-05-07 02:04 PM by BOSSHOG
She is the face of and voice of the republican party. She says what they think. No need to condemn her mccain and romney and giuliani. She is one of you. Have her show up with you and you all can raise your hands in a victory hug on the stage at the end of one of her insightful speechs.

11. The pics I've seen of her...
is it my imagination, or is her lower jaw really getting larger?

No, this isn't a joke...just look at the pic on Top Ten Conservative Idiots.

2. I realize the word SYNDICATE is intended differently
...but it certainly conjures up visions of organized crime, doesn't it? Of course, that would make Anntrhax a low level capitan, a kneecap smasher, in the larger scheme of things. That's about her speed--crude and brutish.

3. The fact that this thing still has a voice in the media is proof of GOP control
What more can be said? Any liberal who made similarly outlandish statements would no longer have a public forum. The right props up this pig woman and allows her to spew because it fuels the hatred that keeps their base voting for them.

5. of course it's GOP controlled
Edited on Mon Mar-05-07 04:02 PM by SemperEadem
look at how those 2 people on Edwards' staff were let go because of something unflattering they said about Catholicism.

Edwards never should have allowed himself to be bullied into doing anything. This round 2 attack on his campaign by Republican Spokeswoman Ann Coulter is proof that there is no such thing as a liberal media. Anyone with any kind of journalistic integrity would condemn her and distance themselves from her--and anyone who sponsors anything of hers would withdraw their support. But there is no economic pressure being brought to bear on her co-conspirators. If they can't feel shame, then they're not going to be ashamed of being a party to her shit.

The more we complain about her, the more empowered she becomes. One has to retort with the intellectual equivalent of "hey, is that a booger in your nose?" to take wind out of her sails. But you have to understand you're dealing with a person who appears to live by the addage: "I know you are, but what am I?" That is her zip code.

The thing to do is for Edwards and the other Dem candidates to not grant any more interviews to outlets which don't publically reprimand and distance themselves from her--like Obama is doing to fuxnoise.

6. I wrote to Universal Press Syndicate after she attacked the 9/11 widows.
I was livid and let them know what I thought about her attacking those women. They never bothered replying.

7. Next time, gripe to the newspaper(s) who carry her column.
UPS simply distributes the column, which subscribing newspapers pay for. So the newspapers are UPS's customers, not you.

Newspapers have dropped syndicated columnists in the past and, if enough drop Coulter, UPS won't have a saleable product and Coulter won't have a column.

10. Good advice. My newspaper thankfully doesn't carry her column
but I'll make an effort to write those that do. Thanks for the tip.

12. Where Are All The Gay "Heavy Hitters" On This Subject?
They are all as quiet, as the Main Stream Media.......

A Record Producer can run his chops about people lying.......

But on this topic, he is suddenly "Mute"?

The Log Cabin Republicans have a tiny blurb at the bottom of their webpage "that you must click into" to even find out they as much as said......

"You're A Dumb Dumb, And A Meanie Ann".... "And We Don't Like It, So Take That"......

Nuff Said............

I guess they have not been told how they should feel yet....

Hope someone takes care of that within the next month.............

Another well known Queen with his own website followed suit with the LCR's, and has decided that Ann is just a meanie... and that everyone should just ignore her......

If a Democrat, or a Green Party Member had said what Coulter did..... there would be shouting from the roof tops.

It just shows that Republican Queers are enablers, and self loathers of the highest order.

One website had the gall to say.... "That the Organization in question (where Coulter spoke)"just might not" invite Coulter back next year".... So take that Ann......

So take that Annie Bananie.... Dumb Dumb..... We might not like you tomorrow, and we'll just go on recess alone.....

Where are the powerful Gay people that have a voice in this Country for flippin' sake?

ENABLERS, AND SELF LOATHERS OF THE HIGHEST ORDER......Sorry, I forgot.......
