Teh now-famous quote is near the end of this video. Watch the rest too, it's good fun.

I have no sympathy for Coulter. She exists because she's cute and sold herself to the insane-right crowd. There is no leftist in this country that matches the outright lunacy of Coulter's hatefulness. I have no sympathy for her.

So she whored herself out to make money and to be known, and now that her antics have revealed their double edge, she gets tossed aside. She gets what she deserves for being in bed with the devil. This says something about the abject loyalty the right wing demands of people, and then leaves them out to dry when they need a scapegoat.

Conservatives invented the scapegoat. I have no sympathy for this one, she brings out the worst attributes in my cynical mind and I hate her for it.

Coulter is under the mistaken impression that she's 'one of the boys,' but the right wing is indeed a boys club, and women are a minority, they're pets, like man-servants...or slaves, serving the Entitled. She served her master well, but she chose to do so.

If the America that allowed her lying antics to progress to this point can't recognize the abusive hypocrisy of the right wing, they deserve to be tossed under the bus too. And they have been. Iraq and Afghanistan will bleed us dry of world prominence. It's people like her, and her fan club, who have made me so cynical that I can say something like that.

I have no sympathy for Ann Coulter.

onetwothree is right, 'Faggot' is much the same as using "Nigger'. Both are offensive and hateful to a entire class of people a reminder of their less than human status in the eyes of the user. McCain, Giuliani and Rmomneys' carefully timed delay before denouncing Ann to see how the remark would go down speaks volumes about what they really believe.

I find equally reprehensible the liberals who imply Coulter is a trans-woman as a way of attacking her. As a trans woman I find them just as bigoted at hart as the Republicans.

If you use a word like "faggot", "nigger" etc., it's an insult based on your devaluation of that (real or imagined) class of people. THAT is offensive.
Calling someone an "asshole" or "dickhead" is demeaning to whom? Really, it's more like a simile, isn't it?
On the other hand, along with the privilege of freedom of expression, goes the responsibility of bearing the consequences. You get to mostly say whatever you want, but you don't get to make other people respond the way you want or expect. (On the flip side of this, is of course that there is no constitutional protection from being offended!).
Her being a key speaker at CPAC speaks volumes about how the organizers AND attendees really feel about - well I guess everyone who's not them. No matter what gyrations McCain, Giuliani, and Romney may make trying distancing themselves, res ipsa loquitur (the thing speaks for itself).

What I'd like to know is, where were Giuliani, McCain etc. every other time Coulter has gone in front of an active camera and hurled this slur at someone who disagrees with her?

I'm surprised (or not?) that there was no condemnation of the audience for applauding Coulter's comments -- by the media or by the Democratic establishment. If this isn't the true Republican party, then why do their leaders keep paying her? Clearly the Republican party is run by hateful, bullying, paranoid sociopaths, and they *like* her and what she says.

"Faggot" is a slur, and so triggers people's training about what is and isn't appropriate. If she just walked around NYC muttering "faggot" and "nigger" under her breath, you'd see the same reaction in the media. Politics really aren't involved.
