A day after conservative commentator Ann Coulter said she wished Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards had been killed by terrorists, his wife asked her to stop the personal attacks.
Elizabeth Edwards called the MSNBC program "Hardball with Chris Matthews" Tuesday during an appearance by Coulter, who claimed Edwards was calling on her to stop speaking altogether. And she questioned why Elizabeth Edwards was making a phone call on behalf of her husband.
While appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America," Coulter was asked about a March speech in which she used a gay slur to refer to Edwards, adding that if she was going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, she'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.
I really cannot stand Ann Coulter, and its people like her that really give the conservatives (who I agree with some of their ideals) a really weak base. She may be offensive for entertaining purposes and that is fine but hate speech?
