Dean Blasts Ann Coulter’s Slur, Calls on GOP Presidential Candidates to Denounce It
During her presentation to today’s Conservative Political Action Convention, political pundit Ann Coulter used the word “faggot” to describe a Democratic presidential candidate. Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean today condemned her remarks and called on the Republican presidential contenders to denounce them.
Dean issued the following statement:
“There is no place in political discourse for this kind of hate-filled and bigoted comments. While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds. The American people want a serious, thoughtful debate of the issues. Republicans–including the Republican presidential candidates who shared the podium with Ann Coulter today–should denounce her hateful remarks.”
Ann Coulter, Remarks to CPAC Conference, 2/2/07: “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

I have been spectating the 640-car pileup in hypnotized fascination. They just moved from setting ideological boundaries for criticism of the Catholic Church to whether or not it’s OK for a good feminist to point out that some feminists drive even some other feminists insane. I think it’s just the PC people arguing amongst themselves now.
Wow.

See, that’s just not funny. It’s pretty hateful.
But does anybody remember all that stuff the wags were doing for a while during the Kerry campaign where they were mocking John Edwards and John Kerry for hugging so much? That struck me as funny, because it was highlighting the goofy anxiety our society has over masculine affection.
To be fair, I don’t know if I was amused by the commentary or by the silly cultural attitudes it exposed. I’m also too pooped to parse it out at this point.

See, Ann, I tried to tell you this two years ago. But you wouldn’t listen. Red meat’s got a built in problem. You throw out some red meat, and they eat it up. But the next time, you have to go farther, push harder, just to get the same response. Remember how it was with the oxycontin? It’s the same deal. You’ve gone so far now that you almost have to break the law in order to elicit more than a “ho hum, heard it before” kind of response. You’re in deep water now, and your worst nightmare is upon you. You’re going to get tossed under the bus and the malkin thing, that yapping little pale imitation of all the earth you’ve scorched and all the salt you’ve plowed is going to spend a presidential election cycle as the conservative darling pundit.
By the very nature of your success, Ann, you’ve got a built-in expiration date. And I think the clock might have just run on you. I wonder what you’ll find to do for a living next - Pro Wrestling, perhaps?

I’d say this over at feministe, but, well, this is safer ground.
It’s easier to come off as non-hysterical, and yes I know the root of the word and i’m oppressing you etc, if you don’t treat a simple trackback as an implicit assault for being “hysterical lightweights.”

Unless, of course, you have already decided that the one attempting the communication is THE ENEMY, and are therefore free to dismiss anything they say out of hand.

Where did this crap about “have to go to rehab if you’re homophobic” come from. Doug Giles used it, now Coulter–
Interesting choice of terms, you know, considering that “rehab” is usually what you go to get over an addiction. Are Ann and Doug trying to tell us something?

Sadly, Neigh! Hadn’t seen her since she was kicking up snow in Budweiser Super Bowl ads.
The best part of that clip are the “What do we do?” murmurs, followed by the swell of appreciative applause. It’s kind of like watching a weird Seinfeld observation dawn on an audience. They try to make up for not getting the joke sooner with a long, steady clap.
Jillian said,

Well, oudemia, if you don’t know me, some of those things might have been reasonable to say. Not charitable, but perhaps reasonable.
And lord knows I can be queen of the uncharitable sometimes, so I can’t complain too much. Although in my defense, I’m usually only uncharitable in pursuit of teh snark.
kingubu said,
March 3, 2007 at 3:32
The bummer about this is that the whole point of her comments is to elicit outrage, so screaming and pointing at her, and the Right’s hypocrisy generally, are pretty much useless.
Coulter and Limburger and their peers are “funny” to their audience because they (the audience) believe that Liberals are all uptight pearl-clutching assholes who will gape like landed fish at the first sign of “un-PC” language. Orthodox liberal Marget Dumonts to their transgressive conservative Groucho. After the shit we’ve all seen the last couple of days, its easy to see why that idea gets traction, honestly.
The best response is open mockery of Coulter, and pointed questions to every GOP candidate that appeared with her about whether or not they agree with her assessment of Edwards.

Attacking Ann Coulter’s appearance is merely tertiary. What’s really ugly are her insides. She keeps her conscience locked up in a cage, so it shreds her soul to bits in retaliation.
Jrod said,
March 3, 2007 at 3:46
No Jillian, I don’t believe the things they said to you in comments was at all reasonable, though at least it hasn’t the hostesses saying the worst.
Carl Jr. ate some of that same shit, the old “Oh you’re not horribly offended by this comical picture of a fat slobby nerd in front of the DooM novels he authored eating a giant sandwich then you’ll be joining the Publicans soon for sure!”
It’s sickening, the very idea that a mean sense of humor along with a lack of concern over the sociological implications of every utterance of the word cunt *GASP* is objectively exactly the same as feeling profound hatred for the overweight or penis-impaired. OH NO PENIS-IMPAIRED IMPLIES THAT WOMEN ARE JUST LESSER MEN, PLEASE SOMEBODY SCOURGE AWAY THE SIN!!!

kingubu, the fact is that Lois Lane, err, Lois Romano, was just complaining about those uncivil liberals.
So it is kind of an opportune time for Coulter to come down with foot in mouth disease…after all these years of Limbaugh, Newt, etc., the media narrative of the uncivil left needs to be torn apart.
I’ll be sending something to Debbie Howell.

This isn’t so much about Coulter, she’s always making hateful statements, and the right wing plays it off as if she is a satirist or extremist when she is called on it.
Watch the clip and the reaction. Extended cheers, applause and laughter. Not a single boo that I can hear.
The story isn’t “Ann Coulter Calls Edwards a Faggot” but “Annual Gathering of Conservative Luminaries Cheer When Coulter Calls Edwards a Faggot.” Anyone there, especially the candidates, who don’t quickly and freely condemn her statement should be saddled with this.

Jillian said,
March 3, 2007 at 4:11
Jrod, the funny thing about it, to me, is the insistence of the writers and the commenters over there that they, and only they, speak for “the Other”.
I don’t talk a lot about my personal life online for a lot of pretty complicated reasons, but for once, I’ll lay a bunch of stuff on the line. My dad’s a gangster. My mom’s mentally ill. I grew up dancing back and forth around the borderline of “dirt poor”. We were poor enough that I was homeless two or three times when I was a kid, and during one of the more extended periods of homelessness, I experienced a particularly pernicious and exploitative sexual abuse at the hands of a relative. I’m not heterosexual. I’ve dealt with depression almost all of my life, since the abuse happened.
And you want to know what? Ultimately, who gives a shit? It doesn’t make anything that I say any more or less true, unless I am directly discussing what it feels like to experience some of the stuff I’ve been through. None of that stuff is who I am; it might shape who I am, but I am a fucking hell of a lot more than just an oppressed survivor Other whatthefuckever. I’m a huge Star Wars nerd. I’m a no-TV snob. I have a not-so-secret weakness for cute kittens and puppies. I love books more than almost anything else in the world. I’d rather be sitting under a tree by myself than just about anywhere else. If you think you know something about me because you know I am a sexual abuse survivor, or because you know I am bisexual, then you don’t know a damn thing about me.
But one thing that I really have a hard time putting up with is being lectured about what it feels like to be “The Other” by a passle of white women who are wealthy enough to have the spare time and cash necessary to run a fucking blog on the fucking internet.
I hate identity politics. It’s the twentieth century equivalent of Platonic idealism.

Well Jillian, you haven’t let yourself become an eternal victim. I think you’re right.
Your story reminds me of my giant fat buddy I mentioned in the monster thread. I won’t relay it here, because it’s not my story to tell, but suffice to say his childhood was hellish. Eh, I’ll mention one bit: his dad shot him when he was 8. That’s pretty much par for the kind of life he lead. He’s a strong man who does not let petty shit bother him, and I have little doubt this springs directly from the hard live he’s lived.
Some people have their priorities straight. Some people know goddamn well that a silly joke is just a silly joke.
I’d share my life story too, if it was at all interesting or inspiring. I’ve been lucky enough to know some good people, and I ain’t tossing them under the bus if they make a joke I don’t like.

Jillian, that was the point of JackGoff’s post. He can now feel very superior. Of course, some might say that posting comments to a blog he vowed never to read again (do I recall that correctly? It’s all getting mixed up) might seem to some like a child telling you over and over they are never going to talk to you again.

There’s a reference to transsexuals on this page somewhere? Other than one really snarky and blue comment at the top of this (already ninety comment-long) thread? Which I’m not even defending (Or not defending; I’m just not even addressing)?
This is what I mean. It’s like I’ve started having a conversation about the weather, or some TV show that I watched, and all of the sudden in the middle of the conversation, it turns into a diatribe about the horrible rutabaga genocide occurring in Saskatoon right now.
Is it because I’ve been up since four this morning? I don’t use drugs, and I haven’t had anything alcoholic in weeks.

Attacking Ann Coulter’s appearance is merely tertiary. What’s really ugly are her insides.
the inside is hard to separate from the outside. this is especially true as one gets older. picture ann at 90 when the hate will be permanently etched in a face that is already forming grouchy lines. all the wicked shit that stews inside her will be revealed.

Actually, I thought the story was “Ann Coulter gives the S,N! crowd an excuse to mock someone for mocking their mockery of a third party, therefore sucking everyone into Round Two of an idiotic blog-fight, all the while forgetting the fact that, hey, Ann Coulter called Edwards a faggot while conservative luminaries clapped and cheered, or that the aforementioned third party links to people who support genocide”.

Side note; sorry I’ve been sort of stupid, but that’s my umor. Lighten up. Isn’t that the gist of this website? If “drag queens” are open to mocking by the authors, surely the commenter are open to mockery from other commenters as well? No need to discriminate or worry about feelings. After all, you’re being too sensitive. And if you don’t understand the mockery, why care? Did you not learn anything from our blog hosts?

Of course, I can assume that it works less efficiently elsewhere, but here, it ain’t really a thing to be on multiple websites. Good try, though. You might want to work on the “Jackoff” thing, as the blog hosts (at least the autor of this post) seem to think that that is the only thing to mock me with. I thought we were going for edgy!

Here’s most of what I wanted to say, from a comment feministe doesn’t seem to want to approve.
Look.
I went to Vassar.
That means I know allllllllllllllllllll about the issues you ladies face. And I knew transgender people, so I’m also an expert on that.
And you ladies and sorta ladies are in need of a night in the Mug then my friend’s big ass double in Joss.
Then it won’t seem so bad.
Yeah, I know I’m an asshole, but come on, jeebus.
Since we’re lefties and not total dicks it’s better to try and make us feel guilty for shit we mostly didn’t do than to have no impact caring about the behavior of those who are actually hateful?
I actually did go to Vassar, as did my mother before me, and among many, many other things it taught me that I can’t know everything about what women go through, nor should I pretend to. But it also taught me a lot of white women use the tribulations of their gender as a guilt sink, and feminism as a cover for selfishness.
Not saying that’s what’s going on here, but fuck. Don’t minimize yourself by being so petty.

March 3, 2007 at 7:55
Sorry, I must have missed something - why would Ann Coulter’s appearance be “off limits” to criticize? Isn’t she the one who’s been making her alleged “looks” an issue for her entire career? I believe I’ve heard Coulter often making arguments you can paraphrase as “because I’m so TOTALLY HAWT N’ BLONDE you know that every word that dribbles from my venom-covered lips must be BRILLIANT! I’m a pretty girl therefore I’m a republican!”. Also, isn’t she always threatening us with glimpses of her nether regions when she poses for photos in micro mini skirts?
Years ago, in a very horrible experience that still scars me to this day, I once followed a link left in a comment over at World O’ Crap to Coulter’s website. I’m never going back there to verify this, but I seem remember through the fog of horror that I saw she had pages and pages of photographs of herself in various outfits. Like a nightmare, the photos seemed to go on forever: Coulter in evening gowns, skiing clothes, and more micro-minis, dear god make it stop.
To borrow a legal term, hasn’t Coulter “opened the door” to criticism of her appearance by making that appearance part of her arguments? It seems perfectly fair to me to say of her “everything she says is false, and oh, BTW, she’s a weird-looking skank, too”.
JackGoff said,

I have spent a bit of time now reading “i am jack’s non-blog / It’s. Not. Even. A. Blog!!!!” [http://iamjacksnonblog.blogspot.com/] And I want to apologize, personally, to Jack. It just isn’t fair, picking on someone like you.
(And I especially feel bad about that Forensics Team/Away tournament crack. It was a shot in the dark; believe me, I had no idea the pain I may have inadvertently caused you.)

And will someone tell me why piny wouldn’t let this comment go through? oy vey.
“Since it seems my earlier less than polite words were deemed non-kosher, let’s try again. Mandolin- Maybe instead of treating the people at SN! the way some have, unfortunately, treated you, how’s about you don’t presume to know the content of our collective character based on a very personally inflected understanding of something we can’t even find anyone saying? Coulter’s followers make her supposed attractiveness an issue, yet in addition to being so skinny she could well have a disorder (not saying she does, just that she fits the stereotype) she’s got an adam’s apple and, to me at least, bears a strong resemblance to H. Ross Perot. When she’s held up as a model of heterosexual male desire, these are things that pop into my mind, because I’m a heterosexual male I reallllllllllly don’t desire her, and wouldn’t even if she had, i dunno, Barney Frank’s brain.
I won’t pretend to understand what you’ve been through or face in life, but dismissing those who’d at least be open to trying to understand their own mistakes in relation to your kind (words i don’t mean in any “you people� sense) seems shortsighted, and a poor way to educate. And no, it’s not your job to be Jackie Robinson, but if you’re going to act persecuted maybe you could at least talk to us about it first before dismissing us as bigots?
Cause, y’know, otherwise it comes off as you thinking us…. I dunno what the transgender world calls those of us who fit into the more common male/female poles (if you’re still debating it amongst yourselves may I suggest unmixed?) are all automatically biased against you, which is a bias in itself.”

(Jack, the squirming and twisting is only happening inside your head. Those who are reading your comments are just shaking theirs, wondering what crawled up your ass, and why you won’t let it out.)

As for the pretty girls, I can only guess that it’s because liberal boys never try to make a move on you without the U.N. Security Council’s approval. Plus, it’s no fun riding around in those dinky little hybrid cars. My pretty-girl allies stick out like a sore thumb amongst the corn-fed, no make-up, natural fiber, no-bra needing, sandal-wearing, hirsute, somewhat fragrant hippie-chick pie wagons they call “women” at the Democratic National Convention.
Who said that?

I may not be funny to you, but watching you all squirm and twist is giving me fits of sheer hilarity.
You’re completely wrong, Jack. It’s very funny. Shit/crap/fuck. No, it’s HILARIOUS to me. I’m sure you stand corrected.

That’s cool, marc. My blog is a POS, which I’m sure you noticed me saying multiple times.
And well, actually, I was wondering what crawled up the owners of this blog’s collective asses when they decided that one post on a feminist blog calling them out for fat jokes was worth trolling said blog and jacking up a thread to over 600 comments. Though, i guess that doesn’t really matter, because, despite protestations against the obvious, double standards are the norm for all the blogosphere. Post about another post? You care too much about it all. Just, don’t pay attention as we troll your blog and balloon the comment threads. It isn’t that we care. No.
And marc, I know you don’t give a shit, but I have enjoyed your comments at Pandagon in the past, at least a few times. When you’ve been idiotic, I have let it pass.
Only when egotistical whiners deem a thread inconsequential, yet post egregiously at said thread in indignation, I feel a little less motivated to give a shit about trolling their threads.
Meh. Hope you keep fighting the good fight against women with large larynxes, because that’s the true menace here.

You’ve let it pass ? when you thought a comment of mine was idiotic ? Well, gosh, am I ever grateful.
By the way, were all 600 comments posted by the writers and readers of SadlyNO ?
Sadly, no.
So, do me a favor, Jack, in the future: don’t pretend you enjoy comments you are incapable of understanding.

Marc Page: Not egotistical in the slightest. Nossir.
Gavin, you’re the victim? Of a supposedly inconsequential thread at a blog that talks about nothing, according to your discourse? Well, I guess that’s your prerogative.
Marc, you’re trying too hard. Go for broke and call me a fathead poopyeater. It’ll mesh much better ’round here.

Just a wild and crazy theory, but it just might be that the post “calling them out” was the blog equivalent of a bitch-slap. Whoopsie, there I go oppressing the minorities again, when will my pasty white ass learn?
Bring the flame to Sadly, No!, Sadly, No! brings the flame right on back. Oh bother, by saying back I’m clearly referring to a woman’s ass in a derogatory fashion, back to the flagellation room for more reeducation.

I suspect, Mr. Goff, I am no more and no less egotistical than you appear to be.
And as much as I enjoy the different sorts of humor and remarks provided by the proprietors of this here blog, I think I’ll just say things the way I do … if that’s acceptable to you under the Guidelines for Proper Progressive Speech (as determined by your august self, of course.)

Hey, say what you want, and own it. Don’t obfuscate when someone brings your words and deeds back to you. Own them. I have more respect for people who do that than people who try to make a pointless joke about some higher progressive idea. Bullshit. You wanted cheap laughs, and you got them. You had your reward. Revel in it, but don’t act like we all are supposed to share in it.

There’s that egotism, Jack. Do you really think anyone here is concerned about earning your respect? … Seriously, check the “backstory,” babe.
JackGoff said,
March 3, 2007 at 9:13
Which is, GoatBoy, the point of this blog. Take the low road, find the cheap laughs, bring in the masses.
So why act like it isn’t, as Gavin did over at Feministe? Piny said nothing else other than pointing out that this blog repeatedly doesn’t give a shit. Many people concurred, and yet acted like no one should speak that aloud, lest Sadly, No! become sadly nonexistent.
