Coulter can be seen as representing her own views and only her own views in her columns; broadening them to all of conservatives, though it has been tried, is nonetheless unfair and incorrect.

Coulter, when invited to speak at CPAC, has been pre-screened by conference organizers and determined to be an acceptable representative of the conservative movement.

It is therefore a big mistake for her to use inappropriate language, even cleverly, at such a forum, because it’s first, bad manners to the hosts and attendees you have just let down, and second, it gives those who don’t agree with conservatives further reason to shut their minds, because ALL conservatives are now associated with what she said, because the leaders of one of their biggest conferences invited her because of her conservative cred.

I’m NOT saying she can’t say what she said. I’m saying she was really stupid to say it. It has nothing to do with my take on the homosexual agenda.

Also to be clear, what Coulter did was nowhere near as egregious as, for example, what Durbin, to name just one, said about our troops and the lies about conditions at Gitmo. Durbin has greater power, and greater responsibility, and has been incredibly more irresponsible with it. At least a dozen other examples of Democrats with real power saying worse things could be cited with little effort. In fact, a dozen could probably be had from Ted Kennedy and John Kerry alone. Just because they are more wrong doesn’t mean I can’t say that Coulter was wrong to say what she said (less wrong, but still wrong).

What is wrong with Coulter implying Edward’s is a faggot?

Do you stand for Free Speech or Selective Free Speech?

Please do not get sucked into the homo sexual agenda.
