raw story wrote:Controversial columnist Ann Coulter had some sharp words to say about some of the Democratic presidential candidates and contenders during a speech at the 34th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Coulter mocked former Vice President Al Gore for appearing to gain weight during his lay-off from politics and referred to Senator Barack Obama as "B. Hussein," but her harshest words were reserved for former Senator John Edwards, whom she implied could be gay.
"When I look for moral guidance I look to Hollywood," Coulter facetiously told her conservative audience in the Omni Shoreham Hotel's Regency Ballroom in Washington DC on Friday.
"What's Al Gore up to these days?" Coulter rhetorically asked, before answering, "Four hundred pounds."
Coulter asked, "Did Al Gore actually swallow Michael Moore?"
"Obama is half-white and half-black," Coulter said, before comparing the Illinois senator to former President Bill Clinton. "Clinton was half-white, half-trash."
Before concluding her speech in order to take questions from audience members, Coulter took a final shot at Edwards.
"I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,'" Coulter said.
You can watch the 60 second video here. There was a brief pause after she said 'faggot', and I thought for a millisecond that the crowd might give her a stoneface or some boos, but nope, they laugh loud and then applaud. They know bravery when they see it. They see it whenever they see some other parent's kid fighting their wars for them.
