A group of people who cheer upon hearing faggot
Why should they be permitted to have any say in public policy? Would we permit people who laughed at the n-word, or the s-word, or the c-word, or the g-word, to have any say in public policy? This isn't about Ann Coulter, but the American Conservative Union. It, and anyone who supports it, should have no say, none whatsoever, in public policy. This is beyond the pale. If our candidates can be assailed for daring to say that Bush is an idiot, then these people need to be held accountable for this.

Every conservative candidate running for anything in any jurisdiction, should be forced to either accept the label of bigot or denounce her from the rafters.

6. But, as outrageous as that statement was, it could be taken as a joke
Not this time. She's outright calling a Democrat Presidential candidate a disgusting epithet for a homosexual person. That's fucking slander in my eyes.

We can't let her get away with it this time. We've been putting up with shit from the likes of her for far too long and it needs to stop.

7. I Totally Agree
MSM needs to stick a microphone in every single Repuke candidate's face and ask them point-blank, "Do you support and defend a woman who tells us she represents your ideology, and yet says something like this IN PUBLIC?"

9. I do not think
that there is any appreciable difference between that group and any other KKK-hate group meeting.

11. I dont understand why the media does not ask all Republicans to repudiate her.
If this were a DEM, every DEM being interviewed would be asked, on camera to fully disavow her.

15. it's now up to the known conservatives at that circle jerk to disavow publicly
Edited on Fri Mar-02-07 05:49 PM by chimpsrsmarter
what she said and they should be associated with her remarks at every opportunity. those same Conservatives should also disavow said circle jerk.

the other conservatives there imo aren't widely known but they should be after this.

18. Ah, ha! Finally. Someone who sees that the responsibility for the
slur lies with the organization that promotes the slur, not the ditz who mouths it.

CPAC is responsible for their content.
