A big diiference currently is that Coulter decided to use the word F@gg0t while Edwars may be for his political views he usually does not step to her level.

What a person says can be BOTH "freedom of speech" and "unamerican and indefensable".
The hypocrisy is when someone attacks those on the other side of political fence for their expression of "freedom of speech" by saying it is "unamerican and indefensable," yet defends equally hateful, offensive speech (& the bloggers paid by Edwards WERE hateful, "unamerican and indefensable") as freedom of speech just because they are on the same "side."
And no one was trying to punish or imprison the bloggers. There was just a question as to why a political figure would actually PAY them for their anti-Christian bigotry, when no political figure would ever pay anyone for anti-semetic or anti-muslim blogs. A fair question would have been, why was Coulter invited to (& paid for) speaking at this function since she is well know for being divisive & insulting?
As a conservative, I wish the far-right wing would stop inviting her on their shows. She is giving the rest of us a black eye!

We're not taking Edwards seriously. Everyone knows Barack Obama is the next President of USA. As for Coulter, you can't call people "ragheads" and f******" and claim that freedom of speech. Think if many more people threw slurs like her we would be back to the gun-slinging wild west. What next, is she going to use the "N" word on Barack? I think if she goes THAT far she might better double-up on protection!

The thing is Ann Coulter made a deregotory comment that degrades a group of people for their sexual orientation. Like calling black people the N-word, you are insulting people for issues they were born with.
