Dean Blasts Coulter’s Slur
Posted by Tracy Russo on March 2, 2007 at 06:43 PM

Dean:

"There is no place in political discourse for this kind of hate-filled and bigoted comments. While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds. The American people want a serious, thoughtful debate of the issues. Republicans -- including the Republican presidential candidates who shared the podium with Ann Coulter today -- should denounce her hateful remarks."

22. good fucking riddence

[Bluebear]

23. Please, reply in the original thread only. nt

[sniffa]

26. my bad

:rofl:

[napi21]

6. Let's hope his association with HER doesas much for him as

McCain's association with Shrub!

[SemperEadem]

64. In Sunday's NYT, Romney is one of 3 thugs who denounced her slur

[mtnester]

3. Let's see if Ann Coulter gets anywhere NEAR Mitt Romney now

hah hah

Karma - it is always about Karma...sometimes Karma is slow to come, but oh it alwyas does and will

[Guaranteed]

4. Good. Unleash the pit bull.

He could have bitten a lot harder than that, though.

[rinsd]

5. The man is a fucking master!

"While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds. "

Way to twsit the knife!!!

[DainBramaged]

7. She IS the Republic party, may she drown in her own vomit

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Pleased to be vote # 5

[malaise]

9. Dean is great

Superb response.

[GreenTea]

33. I love Dean! Where's the DLC on this..tight-lipped, don't want to make waves with the moderates?

[SoFlaJet]

10. here's a better statement

He or she is a fucking scumbag-more to the point-why not slide around in the gutter with the slob

[gratuitous]

11. Excellent statement, and here's why

It's not enough to just condemn this hatefulness; it's a necessary component to demand, as Dean did, that the candidates who shared the podium with Little Arfin' Annie should denounce her hateful remarks.

10 out of 10 for Dr. Dean. Let's see if the bulldogs of the media are as vigilant against the Republican candidates as they are against the Democratic ones.

[tavalon]

12. I think we know that the media isn't as vigilent about the Republic candidates

So, you'd best be prepared for the great silent void to follow this announcement.

[Kurovski]

17. Absolutely, gratuitous.

While she would appear to be a free agent, she is in reality a spokesperson for the republican Party. And every public discussion of her henceforth by a Dem should treat her as such.

Thus the media side-show known as Ann Coulter can be made 100% relevant to politicians and their views. Enough of Coulter flying under the radar as an "easily" dismissed separate entity from the Republican Party.

[stevietheman]

61. Yeap, we should prepend "Republican Spokesperson" to her name every time...

we gab about her.

Republican Spokesperson Ann Coulter.

Republican Spokesperson Ann Coulter.

Republican Spokesperson Ann Coulter.

Republican Spokesperson Ann Coulter.

Republican Spokesperson Ann Coulter.

Yeap, that works.

[Cha]

30. Yeah, cause if they don't they've

branded themselves just as Scummy as the Vile Rhetorical Shrew.

It's a win win.

[glitch]

15. Rather than blasting this sad pathetic sick person we should be blasting the sideshows that

exhibit her. Ok, in addition to.

[AshevilleGuy]

16. DID any repukes disavow her?

Or did she conveniently speak after them?

Sounds like she should go work for the fred phelps demons in Topeka. I wonder: would Brownback denounce phelps?

[gratefultobelib]

18. Surely Brownback would denounce Phelps. He is so evil and vile; I can't

believe any politician would not denounce him. But then, I also saw the video where Romney praised Coulter today, so who knows? Who really knows? It's so damned depressing.

[SemperEadem]

65. McCain, Romney and Giuliani denounced her in Sunday's NYT

[NoPasaran]

19. K & R!

Once again, Howard Dean speaks for me!

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. Go Howard Go!

Give 'em hell!!

[wicket]

21. Give her hell, Howard!!!!!!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[BlooInBloo]

24. Good thing the media was so interested in his amplified scream.

[Horse with no Name]

25. I'm so glad to see someone call her on this vitriol

WTG Howard!

[Mr. Ected]

27. I'm Holding My Breath For A Repuke Rebuke

I think I'll asphyxiate myself before I hear one.

[Cha]

31. Not holding here.

It's not like when the hillary campaign told Obama he'd better denouce Geffen for telling the truth.

anncoulter was throwing bigoted slurs out there. Miss asexual herself.

[neuvocat]

28. Didn't she hurt someone's campaign last year?

I seem to recall she went to a rally for someone and it turned out to be a debacle for whomever she was stumping for.

[Fleshdancer]

55. I can't recall, but she got a lot of heat from insulting the 9/11 widows

There is no line Ann won't cross to get attention, even if that attention is negative. She takes narcissism and self destruction to a whole new level of bat shit crazy.

[Zenlitened]

29. K & R.

Thanks, Doc. :)

[walldude]

32. That slur was a total setup.. she hasn't been getting much press lately

unless you count Hannity, so she needed to say something stupid to get back in the news.

[shance]

34. Could be. But what kind of mentally deficient person gets so much pleasure from igniting hate?

Or atleast attempting to?

Who is rewarding her for such behavior? It must be the media executives who have hired her.

This is merely one of a treasure chest of deluded, prejudicial, elitist comments from a chronic, pathological hater of mankind in general.

Why do they give her so much free time to air her hatred and viciousness in the name of "politics"?

They censor everyone else with a vengence, and yet they welcome and promote Ann Coulter and her racism, bigotry, misogyny and overall disgust of humanity and anything remotely good and decent.

Its not politics, it is verbal manslaughter.

Ann Coulter has such a sadistic, pain inflicting core.

It is bizarre and seemingly almost a genetic part of her. She gets pleasure out of inflicting pain and promoting hatred.

How sick can someone be to enjoy others pain and scapegoating?

[walldude]

37. It hads to be because she's... well according to some people

good looking. Can you imagine if Helen Thomas had called Cheney a faggot?

[dicknbush]

40. It really isn't about Coultergist! Now it about embarassing anyone who accepts her support

It is about making the person who she supports have to renounce her and defned himself as to why he would accept the support of such a hateful person and does he actually harbor the same sentements as the Vile Coultergist? do you Mitt Romney support the use of the word Faggot in the political discourse and will renounce the support that you seemed so willing to accept from this lobvilusly deranged person? Those are the questions that need ot be flying fast and furious at Mitt for the next few days and weeks if necessary until he repudiates what she said and calls on her to appologise to Edwards.

[sallyseven]

49. He might not renounce her

he is that nutty. So arrogant that he can't imagine someone not liking his hair and his looks. Should be enough to make him president. What do you mean qualifications? I am better looking than you deserve. Coulter has good taste.
I wish someone would check on how much the US contributed to the Olympics that he supposedly did so much for. I think they footed the whole thing and he got credit for it. He is not a good person.

[mass.man]

60. Romney

I'm not a big fan, but what evidence do you have to say that Mitt Romney is not a nice person? He seems like a decent family man.

[The Wizard]

58. Ann stole

Andy Kaufman's wrestler persona. Maybe Andy faked his death and became Ann D. Ku Klux Koulter.

[orleans]

35. hahaha! oh howard...the repuke candidates denouncing the hateful

remarks made by that bitch? hahaha. that i'd love to see!

howard, howard, howard...they are not normal, rational people. they are evil spawns of hell. don't hold your breath waiting for them to denounce her remark(s)

[deutsey]

56. Yep...that'll be the da-a-ay that die.

[kdpeters]

36. John Edwards admitted he told Ann Coulter that he was gay

Apparently, she wouldn't stop begging him to f**& her and he had to come up with something. (Props to Letterman who used that response the last time, it's a good one.)

[HappyWeasel]

38. lol

Yes. Very good. I hope this results in Romney falling out of the race.

[Forkboy]

39. Bing...that was quick!

:thumbsup:

[David Zephyr]

41. SkAnnk Coulter.

Howard Dean rocks!

[riverdeep]

42. This is what's known in chess

as a checkmate. There's really no way they can win on this one. Good job Dr. Dean. Doesn't Carville look even sillier now?

[daveskilt]

43. forget what she said this time - why would all the repubs appear with someone who in the past said..

“I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s deaths so much.” -on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush eadministration

“We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens’ creme brulee.”

“Liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole.”

“There are a lot of bad republicans; there are no good democrats.”

“We need to execute people … in order to physically intimidate liberals.”

“Whether they are defending the Soviet Union or bleating for Saddam Hussein, liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots.”

“We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.”

“My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”

“Press passes can’t be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the President.”

“The swing voters — I like to refer to them as the idiot voters. You’re either a liberal or you’re a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster.”

“There is no evidence that it is true. The fossil record contradicts it, and it is a theory that cannot be disproved. Whatever happens is said to “prove” evolution. This is the very definition of a pseudoscience, like astrology.”

“The embryonic stem cell debate is a fraud to lure Americans into ceding ground on human experimentation.”

[Warren DeMontague]

45. It's time for Bill Maher & Co. to stop inviting such filth on

Larry King... Lou Dobbs... even Mr. O'*Really* could benefit from refusing to stoop so low.

I don't get how any liberal leaning person can claim to be friends with her. Disgusting.

[Caretha]

46. Coulter is the poster child

for the lowest common denominator of the Republic party. The only way that these flea bag candidates can get attention from the right wing base is to put a pile of feces on the stage and waft the fumes into the audience and over the air waves.

Sane people are too smart to sit there and contemplate piles of shit.

[JNelson6563]

47. Yes and our friend Carville

would have us believe we'd be better off with Harold Ford in Dean's place. Though I am an atheist Carvile & Co. sometimes inspire me to think in biblical terms, as in "atonement". Traitors seem to bring that out in me.

Go Dean! Keep takin' it to those dirty bastards! :yourock:

Julie

[The Wizard]

59. Carville got lucky

because he had Bill Clinton as a candidate in 92. After that he did nothing of consequence.

[JNelson6563]

63. You're half right

After that he did nothing good of consequence. :toast:

Julie

[RestoreGore]

48. But isn't this giving her the attention she craves?n/t

[The Count]

50. Afraid so. But I still love Dean for saying it.

[Kurovski]

62. She won't stop, so It's time to make her statements work for the Democrats.

The fundraising thing someone started is ok.

But making every Republican politician who does not speak out against her a supporter of her statements by default is a good start.

No more of the "She's not worth paying attention to" from Repubs. She speaks for them, and they know it.

I like that Dean is beginning to call that fact out into the light.

[zanne]

66. Keep it up, Ann.

She makes us look soooooooo good! The 18% of the population who likes that sort of thing don't realize how bad she makes Republicans look.

[Tekla West]

51. Thanks Howard

This has got to stop. Is there a time in the near future when adults might be able to return to power and get the political system out of the sandbox?

And to think that Ann has been tagged as one of the 'intellectuals' of the neo-con movement.

[Jacklyn75]

52. Thanks Howard! n/t

[Alcibiades]

53. Why does Coulter think this is funny, anyway?

Clearly, she's a comedian, not even a pundette. I could see making a joke about Clinton and his famous penis, for example. But calling John Edwards a f*ggot? WTF?

Not only is it homophobic, it's foul language! Why does this little c*nt get off on talking like that in public?

It's not even remotely true! What is she going on, his hair? His good looks? The fact that he's still married to his first wife? Apparently real men leave their wives when they have cancer and start up with skanks like Coulter, I don't know.

Anyway, if she's a woman, she's not a little c*nt. I apologize for that. She's a big, floppy, bucketlike c*nt.

54. LTTE: The politics of Bigotry

I submitted the following LTTE to the three newspapers in my local area. By all means feel free to use a variation of this Letter To The Editor, to send off your own, to your local papers.

''All of the GOP's 2008 presidential hopefuls, with the exception of Senator John McCain, recently appeared at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, last week.

Not one of those candidates has yet spoke out against guest speaker Ann Coulter's pejorative and slanderous reference to Democratic candidate John Edwards, as a ''faggot.''

Coulter's horrible comments were receieved by those attending the Conservative Conference with laughter, and cheers.

If the GOP candidates expect to hear anything other than laughter on election day, then they must distance themselves from the politics of smear, and scandal, and denounce Ms. Coulter's commentary as un-true, and mean-spirited, and un-worthy of an event at which a future President would ever attend, and speak.''

57. Hurray for Howard Dean.
