How disgusting that people are repeating that hateful lie by Ann Coulter, a sick and despicable person.

Here is Elizabeth Edwards' dignified response:

Hate words and you

When Miss Coulter spoke about John at the conservative convention in Washington yesterday, she used a word that she intended as a nasty and derogatory suggestion. John and I have long ago shrugged off the vile words of this person. When she made a joke about the exact moment of death of Charlie Dean (Howard's brother and a schoolmate of mine), and when she attacked the courageous 9-11 widows, she told you all you need to know about what she is made of: her compassion -- or lack thereof. Now we need to find out about you.

Although her words did not hurt us, they may have hurt some in the gay community. We are all sick and tired of anyone supporting or applauding or introducing hate words into the national dialogue, tired of people thinking that words that cause others pain are fair game. And we are sick and tired of people like Miss Coulter thinking that her use of loaded words about the homosexual community in this country is remotely humorous or appropriate.

John gave a graduation speech at NC State several years ago, and in it he said that none of us can stand by when words of bigotry and division are used. It is only when the rest of us stand up and say that this is not acceptable that we drum out the hate-mongers from amongst us. The first reaction in the room at the conservative convention yesterday was a gasp -- a horrified gasp, even -- but it did not last. In a few seconds, those who were not horrified started clapping and drowned out the gasps.

Now it is our turn to drown out the hate. Find a way -- whether it is contribution here that sends a message to Miss Coulter and those who applauded her (which, of course, I prefer) or whether it is a statement on this blog or others or all of the above -- but please find a way not to sit silent in acceptance. It doesn't change until we say we will not be silent when this happens.

Personally, I'm a big fan of Thessalonians 2, verse 12 -- it's not anti-gay or anything like that, but talks about condemning people, so it's cool. This states that those that believe lies are going to Hell. So... the list of those going to Hell happens to include the people that told me to read the Bible in the first place. Sweet, sweet irony...

Answer 5

No, but he is a slime who made all his money as an ambulance chaser, suing doctors for following what was at the time standard operating procedures. He claims to be an advocate for the poor, yet he lives in his hilltop mansion with it's indoor swimming pool...

Answer 6

I know a guy who was married for several years and had 3 kids who finally came out of the closet. He'd been cheating on his wife for years, she thought it was with other women but was men! So he could be, who knows.

Answer 7

I don't think anyone really believes he is gay, people are just joking. Who cares.

Answer 8

I don't see the connection. Besides, the Republicans wouldn't know a gay person from a fund raiser (as long as they get the $$$- they won't "ask" & you won't "tell"). :)

Answer 9

Of course he's gay.

Haven't you seen him?

Answer 10

I don't want to spread rumors but I saw him walk in to the "Rainbow Bar" in West Los Angeles
