LTTE: The Politics of Bigotry

[OneAngryDemocrat]

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.''

3. Great letter and thank you but

I'd rather see all of the gop candidates have coulter up on stage with them, raising hands high and waving at the crowds. She is the voice of the republican party and should be seen with every gop candidate at every event. I want her to continue to hate and spew forth garbage and I want it all aired nationally. If "conseratives" in America have a shred of decency (and I have my doubts) they will give coulter and her party their answer in 08.

4. Outstanding

It's not enough to denounce the hatefulness and bigotry of Little Arfin' Annie, we have to put it on the candidates and other attendees who laughed and cheered her remarks.
