I wasn't going to discuss this but...

...I don't have a choice.

In case you didn't hear...long story short...Ann Coulter insinutated that John Edwards was a "faggot" the other day. Not the first outrageous thing she has said and probably not the worst either. But people are jumping all over her and rightfully so. Today, COulter lashed back. From a Fox News article...

"'Faggot isn't offensive to gays; it has nothing to do with gays," Coulter said on "Hannity and Colmes" Monday night. "It's a schoolyard taunt meaning 'wuss,' and unless you're telling me that John Edwards is gay, it was not applied to a gay person."

For someone who went to Cornell, Coulter certainly is dumb (and a liar). Here's what dictionary.com says about the word "faggot".

fag·got2 [fag-uht] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

[Origin: 1910–15, Americanism; cf. faggot a contemptuous term for a woman (from ca. 1590), perh. the same word as fagot]


Ann, did you get caught in another lie again? Like when you said that Canada sent troops to Vietnam?
