Republican candidates quickly denounce Ann Coulter's use of the word "faggot" to describe John Edwards.

Three of the leading Republican presidential candidates on Saturday denounced one of their party’s best-known conservative commentators for using an antigay epithet when discussing a Democratic presidential contender at a gathering of conservatives here.

Of the major Republican candidates, only Mr. McCain did not attend, but he denounced her remarks on Saturday morning. “The comments were wildly inappropriate,” said his spokesman, Brian Jones.

Mr. Giuliani said, “The comments were completely inappropriate and there should be no place for such name-calling in political debate.”

Kevin Madden, a spokesman for Mr. Romney, said: “It was an offensive remark. Governor Romney believes all people should be treated with dignity and respect.”

I don't usually like to pile on, but it is time that Ann Coulter be scratched off of the list of speakers at all future Republican gatherings. She is absolutely poison to her party.

I still cannot figure out what her intent was in using that word to describe John Edwards. I mean he is in a long term heterosexual marriage and is clearly in love with his wife, not to mention that they have two young children.

I know that homosexuals can maintain the semblance of heterosexuality (Ted Haggard anyone?), but besides being well groomed in what way does Edwards seem gay?

It is like she just wanted to insult him, and being an un-evolved adolescent, just used the type of name calling that pre-teens utilize to insult kids they don't like. It is simply ridiculous.
