What does Ann Coulter's statement really mean?

[bryant69]

Poll question: What does Ann Coulter's statement really mean?

For those who don't know she called Edwards a Faggot (well more or less (kind of the way some people invoke Rule #3 to call someone something without actually saying the words)). She has such said "C'mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean."

So what does this comment really mean?

1. From this point forward

I think nobody should pay attention to her(?). Then maybe she(?) would just go away.

3. Ignoring cancer does not make it go away...

[Bluzmann57]

10. Good point

Never really thought of it like that. I swas thinking about children who want attention and act up to get it. Most of the time if we just ignore their antics, they stop and move on to something else.

12. But if you don't *believe* in it

then it simply won't be there. :)

6. If nobody paid attention to her, the attacks would get worse, at

least for a while, in an effort to get a reaction. That's all she's looking for.

9. Yes, that happens, but in the end, behavior modification does work with most

;)

2. time to make some

more money off these losers.

4. #s 6 & 7 - Pay attention to me & rally the wing-nuts against Edwards

Got the wing nuts all primed to take on Hillary. Can't have an Edwards slipping in and gumming up the plans. ;)

[CJCRANE]

5. "I can't think of anything bad

to say about John Edwards, (that's true)".

[dkofos]

7. People need to get a fucking clue as to what is important in

the news.

AND THIS IS NOT IT

[bryant69]

8. Where do you get a fucking clue? Is that distinct from a regular clue?

Hey maybe i could get you a sense of humor while I'm out - you know, if the same store carries both.

17. A sense of humor might help most people.

[sniffa]

23. if there's one thing i don't know, it's humor

[Maven]

19. Really?

Then why did you post a new thread about it, Mr. News Filter?

[Crabby Appleton]

11. I don't think it actually means anything

she makes her living saying outrageous things, and she sure knows how to push a lot of people's buttons.

[ClintonTyree]

13. John Edwards reminds her of a bundle of sticks?

Personally, I don't see it but Ann, being a bundle of sticks herself, might. :shrug:

[TahitiNut]

14. Semantical equivalent: "I hate gays like John Edwards."

In merely using the epithet, she annouces her hatred and bigotry. Applying it to Edwards, she makes the allegation that Edwards is gay. Thus, it's a compound statement with the primary message of deep-seated hatred.

:shrug:

The reason it shouldn't matter: Who cares what an obvious sociopath claims?

The reason it DOES matter: It's part of the Republican Party platform.

15. #7 'I really want to get laid by in inbred ignorant redneck'

That's what I would figure. I thenk she thought Deliverance was an instructional video.

[Ganja Ninja]

16. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

:shrug:

[zbdent]

18. It means that

when there's a warrant out for her, she's going to skip country with all the cash in her numbered bank accounts from the Repuke party ...

[bryant69]

21. Maybe she'll go to aruba.

I hear it's nice this time of year.

22. Oh, great ... then we'd have Mannatee

Holloway on Faux 24/7 ...

[ben_meyers]

20. Something else

It means that she has another book due out soon, and it will probably be another best seller and she will be on all the talk shows to promote it. And every time somebody says anything about her she just goes ca-ching!

[cgrindley]

24. It means a bunch of stuff

1. she hates gay people
2. she hates John Edwards
3. she hates PC speech codes
4. she hates NOT being in the spotlight
