For many outside of the political world, the name of Ann Coulter may fall on deaf ears. However, it shouldn’t. She’s the brazen, tough-acting, bigger-than-life, arrogant, stuck-up conservative author and speaker. She’s had a lot mean things to say (for one, accusing the widows of 9/11 families of exploiting their husbands’ deaths for fame-gain), and is in the headlines again for her antics. This time, she’s attacking Democratic presidential hopeful, John Edwards.

I don’t care for Edwards politically, either. I don’t think his ideas are coherent, and I believe that was proven in the 2004 campaign. But Coulter’s recent remarks are just ridiculous. She has called him a “faggot.” Not only is that childish but completely absurd and unnecessary. Ann Coulter has done nothing but continue to give Republicans a black-eye. For those Dems and Independents who think conservatives are narrow-minded, arrogant, idiots, she does a great job proving their perceptions to be correct. Luckily I know many conservative Republicans who are far from Coulter’s ideology…but woe to those who aren’t as fortunate.
