Just saw this on CNN.com – apparently, during a Q&A at the CPAC event this weekend, Ann Coulter shared this gem of wisdom with the audience:
“Well, you know, screw you! I’m not anti-gay. We’re against gay marriage. I don’t want gays to be discriminated against.”
Uhhh. Wait. Against gay marriage. But doesn’t want discrimination.
Which one is it, bubba?
She continued:
“I don’t know why all gays aren’t Republican. I think we have the pro-gay positions, which is anti-crime and for tax cuts. Gays make a lot of money and they’re victims of crime. No, they are! They should be with us.”
Sometimes, I just… just don’t know what to say. I guess I wasn’t aware that gay people only cared about taxes and crime. Wow, kids, isn’t that neat?!?
Sigh.
If Coulter truly is the face of contemporary conservatism and a touchstone for young Republicans, that’s a sad statement about the continued political and social direction of this country. Wide-scale American ignorance. Cultural myopia. It scares me.

Nota bene: For a sane conservative’s view of things, be sure to visit Andrew Sullivan’s blog. Likely to be one of the few political recommendations I’ll ever make here.
When *will* Satan finally claim his bride? March 3, 2007

Because I think most sane people are pretty much ready for him to suck her straight into Hell…
Ann Coulter is a toad. Seriously. In case you missed it, the unofficial hater-tainment spokesfreak of the uber-right decided to call John Edwards a “faggot” at the Conservative Political Action Conference here in Washington on Friday. Perhaps more appalling than Coulter’s political trenchmouth is that many in the audience laughed and clapped. Yeah, it’s nice to know at a conference that included a feel-good, love ALL life break-out session on bringing the pro-life message to the masses via the big movie screen, people uproariously ha-ha’ed a “faggot” reference.
Can you feel the hate tonight?
Check out the agenda for this thing, by the way, and tell me if you aren’t somewhat sickened by parts of the gathering. It’s wonderful to see the White House (in the form of Tony Snow and Dick “Dick” Cheney) at an event featuring another session – for students – about dealing with “Loony Ladies of the Left: How to Combat the Radical Feminists on Your Campus.” SO warm and fuzzy!
Ugh. It is any wonder those assembled would find Ann Coulter entertaining?
If you think she’s funny, that’s sad. If you think she’s hot, that’s even more sad.
And I don’t want to know.
