Seems Ann Coulter did it again:

“Democratic Party boss Howard Dean demanded that Republican presidential candidates denounce conservative columnist Ann Coulter after she referred to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards as a “faggot” during a speech Friday at a national conservative gathering.

Coulter, who was addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., said:

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word “faggot,” so I ‚Äî so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

Members of the audience seemed startled, then many clapped, and she proceeded to open the floor to questions, reported EditorandPublisher.com

After her comments, Dean issued a press release expressing his outrage. Dean called Coulter‚Äôs remarks “hate-filled and bigoted.”

“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,” the press release read.

“Republicans ‚Äî including the Republican presidential candidates who shared the podium with Ann Coulter today ‚Äî should denounce her hateful remarks.”

Ok, Ann really stepped on it this time and in reading her comments and viewing the video I see what she was trying to make was a comment on our “screw up and hit rehab” society, but it was still stupid for her to say it. Yet when you hire Coulter to speak at your event you get what you paid for – a loaded gun.

Still, more stupid is Howard Dean getting indignant about “words”.

“You know, the Republicans are not very friendly to different kinds of people. They’re a pretty monolithic party. Pretty much, they all behave the same, and they all look the same. … It’s pretty much a white Christian party.” –speaking about the lack of outreach to minority communities by political parties ”

“I’m a metrosexual.” ‚Äìemploying the buzz phrase for straight men who are in touch with their feminine sides, then later admitting he didn’t know what the term means

“You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives.”

“I think with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, you can’t play, you know, hide the salami, or whatever it’s called.”

Seems Dean should know about “words” and how people at times say stupid things.
