The Captain Has This One Right; Ann Coulter Is Out Of Line

Via Captain Ed, we learn that Ann Coulter essentially called John Edwards a "faggot". While I share many North Carolina resident's disdain for Edwards, this is stupid and inappropriate. She needs to apologize.

Several points the good Captain makes that I agree with:

   
• That this type of thing is no better than the things Edwards' former blogger's post.
   
• Yes, it was used in several songs and movies from the early '80's. He explains that in "Money For Nothing" the word faggot is used but it is more of a reflection on the user rather than the target. Absolutely correct.

Someone should take the lovely Ann aside and let her know that while we love her glibness, she should understand that this type of thing only hurts conservatives and Republicans and perhaps she should reel that type of nonsense in. And apologize.

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

www.americanlegends.info

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,
David
