Coulter under fire for anti-gay slur

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Prominent politicians from both parties and a gay-rights group on Saturday condemned right-wing commentator Ann Coulter for her reference Friday to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "->-bleeped-<-got."

The really sad part wasn't so much her comment (what else do you expect from Coulter?)... it was the laughter, applause and cheers from the republic audience.

Is this really the most absurd thing (or even the 217th most absurd thing) we can charge anyone from Fox News of saying?  Are we supposed to be surprised by any of this?

Stephen Colbert still got laughs (albeit choked and nervous,) playing to the same kind of republican audience that was appreciative of Coulter's remarks.

Coulter is one of the most spitefull and hatefull celebrities in current day politics. I hope that one day, the likes of her will be shunned in favor of reasonable political discussion.

Why does anyone even pay attention to ann coulter?. the only reason that she gets any attention is because she is an anorexic who wears skirts up to her lulu. anyone can grow her hair 2 feet and wear skirts up to there. Ann is nothing special.
blah!
