Coulter's Words Help Edwards Raise Cash

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Wednesday that conservative author Ann Coulter's attacks are hurtful as his campaign used her remarks in an appeal for money.

Edwards made his first comments to The Associated Press in response to Coulter's suggestion that she wished he would be "killed in a terrorist assassination plot." His campaign cited her remarks in two e-mails to supporters for donations, with the fundraising deadline on Saturday.

It's not the first time Coulter has given the Edwards campaign a financial boost. In March, she called Edwards a "faggot" and the campaign used video of the comment to help raise $300,000 before the end of the first quarter.

In the e-mails, the campaign asked supporters to send donations to defy her remarks and help Edwards meet his goal of raising $9 million in the second quarter. The first e-mail from campaign adviser Joe Trippi showed a clip of Coulter on ABC's "Good Morning America," where she said Monday that she wished Edwards would be killed by terrorists.

When Coulter appeared Tuesday on MSNBC's "Hardball," Elizabeth Edwards called in to ask Coulter to stop making personal attacks on her husband. The exchanged deteriorated, with Coulter shouting over Mrs. Edwards and demanding that the campaign stop using her name to raise money if they want her to stop personal attacks. Response to the controversy was so large that it repeatedly crashed the server for MSNBC's political blog Wednesday.

14. He rarely leaves his recliner

he sits in front of the television most of the day cheering and jeering along with the Fox reporters. His wife is the problem. She's the one I want to scare away.

To be truthful, she's not all there. She's on permanent disability (low IQ, prone to seizures, a head injury that causes loss of short term memory, and host of medical problems). Poor thing. I think she gets bored and wanders around the neighborhood looking into windows. And because we live across the driveway from her we're the easiest for her to get to without being seen by most of the neighbors. At least the mailman has convinced her to stop holding our mail for us. She would swipe it out of our box and then bring it over to us in the evenings. If the NSA ever wants to know what I'm up to all they have to do is ask her.

16. Wow

That's quite a tale. She sure sounds like she's in a bad state; and you're lucky enough to have your very own Gladys Kravitz! :)

17. Brilliant move on the Edward's part.

[badgerpup]

18. Anybody else think this is kinda backwards?

"...demanding that the campaign stop using her name to raise money if they want her to stop personal attacks."

:wtf:

Hasn't it occurred to her that if she WASN'T making hateful personal attacks, they COULDN'T profit from it?

Oh. That's right, I forgot. Talkin' Ann Coulter here.

I'm going to KEEP beating my head against the wall and I'm NOT gonna stop it until my headache goes away!
Knock yourself out, Annie....

The entire neocon section of the republican party seems to have difficulty with the concepts of CAUSE AND EFFECT and ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
:eyes:

Don't think she's even capable anymore of NOT being being a hate-filled generator of bile and venom...she's been doing it for too long. :shrug:
