Even Right-Wing Bloggers Bash Coulter

WHAT'D I SAY? Coulter
Since dropping the F-bomb heard 'round the world at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, Ann Coulter has had a rough few days. Three advertisers have dropped from her site, and three newspapers have decided to no longer run her column. Even her fellow Republicans couldn't keep their mouths shut about how far the radically conservative commentator went this time.

After the jump, read what her alleged base is saying about America's most hated but lusted-after right-wing "fag" hag ...

The gay reaction: Andrew Sullivan, the gay, Roman Catholic conservative behind the Daily Dish, condemned Coulter. "I watched Ann Coulter last night in the gayest way I could. I was on a stairmaster at a gym, slack-jawed at her proud defense of calling someone a 'faggot' on the same stage as presidential candidates and as an icon of today's conservative movement." Sullivan concluded his lengthy post on the subject with: "She said—and conservatives applauded—that I and so many others are not men. We are men, Ann."

Coulter should walk the plank: Minnesota-based right-wing blogger Ed Morrissey, of Captain's Quarters, sarcastically applauded the conservative pundit, saying, "Yeah, that's just what CPAC needs—an association with homophobia. Nice work, Ann." Morrissey proposed the bigoted blonde be dropped from CPAC next year. "Ann Coulter can be an entertaining and incisive wit ... she can also be a loose cannon, and CPAC might want to consider that the next time around."

The violent approach, courtesy of Michelle Malkin: "Her 'faggot' joke was not just a distraction from all the good that was highlighted and represented at the conference. It was the equivalent of a rhetorical fragging—an intentionally tossed verbal grenade that exploded in her own fellow ideological soldiers' tent ... [she] sullied the hard work of hundreds of CPAC participants and exhibitors and tarred the collective reputation of thousands of CPAC attendees."

Conservative pile-on, courtesy of John Hawkins, RightWingNews: "What's on tap for next year? Will she drop the N-bomb? Will she use the C-word to describe Hillary Clinton? Whatever her plans are, after being burned twice in a row, CPAC shouldn't invite her back next year."

Testify! Reverend Patrick Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, says, "One should never resort to vicious name calling or personal attacks in an attempt to prove a political point."

Anyone who has ever taken this person's blather seriously isn't operating with a full deck anyway.Her logic is so twisted it's a wonder she's oriented at all . I would say that if ever there was ever candidate for alzheimers and/or senile psychosis you are looking at her. She's going to have a rough life as a senior citizen .
