He appreciates all the letters and cards. It’s just that he appreciates the ones that come in long envelopes a little bit more.
It took a few weeks and some truly awful news, but we’ve finally got an answer to my question:

But Ann should be banned from all Media for pointing out what a f____t this man is?
Have you reconsidered your kneejerk acceptance of the left wing desire to ban Ann Coulter yet?
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 1:34 PM
No, I haven’t. What in the hell does him being a cretin in exploiting his wife’s illness for money have to do with Coulter lobbing slurs at him?
Allahpundit on April 5, 2007 at 1:35 PM
Scumbag. This falls down to the same level as Bill Clinton perching his wife up infront of cameras broadcasting to the world in order to defend his claim that he is really a classy guy and didn’t bonk the fat intern. Knowing full well that the truth was likely going to come out as it did just three days later. This willingness to milk all he can out of his wife’s horrible illness secures my belief that John Edwards functions on the same moral plane as the last Democrat president of the United States.
Zetterson on April 5, 2007 at 1:42 PM
It seems to me that we have a new addition to the definition of the word whore.
Pulchritudinous Patriot on April 5, 2007 at 1:43 PM
What a dirtbag. The media tounge-bath for him when this happened made me sick. Would anyone expect any less from this guy?
bmac on April 5, 2007 at 1:45 PM
Aw Crap, please tell me this isn’t gonna turn into another Coulter slapfight…
Allahs right, just because he’s doing this doesn’t excuse Ann’s obnoxious, irresponsible and politically clumsy behavior. Oh, and I replied to you in the Trump thread, Oh Mighty One.
Bad Candy on April 5, 2007 at 1:46 PM
Wow, give it a rest. No matter what side you were on in the whole Ann-fa**ot issue, it’s over. It has nothing to do with Edwards’ slimy-ness here.
dalewalt on April 5, 2007 at 1:47 PM
Her fans have a hard time letting go when it comes to the criticism she received from the Right. One of your links mentions Coulter. That’s all that’s needed to bring her up for people still bothered about it.
But on the actual subject, this is… well, typical and expected. I wish I could be surprised by this.
Esthier on April 5, 2007 at 1:48 PM
This is much worse. He’s taking advantage of his wife’s CANCER. Any guesses on how long it’ll be until he announces that he’s dropping out of the race in order to ’spend quality time with his family’?
dalewalt on April 5, 2007 at 1:49 PM
I’m sure that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Fund-raising organizations either share or sell their lists to others. For example, my contribution to the MDA has rewarded me with hit-up letters from most every other health-related cause (and dozens from the MDA itself). I had a similar experience from my contribution to the RNC.
Chances are that Edwards himself didn’t tell his web team to hit up the well-wishers, but he probably won’t send their money back either. And it may be explicitly stated on the site that info they collect may be used for whatever purposes they consider a help to the campaign.
It’s still a heckuva thank-you.
DuffBeer on April 5, 2007 at 1:51 PM
Coulter did the Right a disservice by throwing the gay F-bomb at Edwards. It distracted attention from his propensity to roll off brilliant streaks of assclownery. Hopefully, she’ll keep her piehole shut this time so Silky can hang on his own rope.
Kid from Brooklyn on April 5, 2007 at 1:53 PM
Well AP,
Let me explain the basic facts of life to you.
The left is a bunch of hypocrites that try to silence speakers on the right by generating mock outrage when “controversial” statements are made by conservative pundits. This same left-wing mob screams “1st ammendment” and “don’t question my patriotism” everytime we try to hold the left wing punditry to a similar standard.
For the gatekeepers and opinion leaders of the conservative movement to constantly “eat our own” while we allow the left wing punditry to get a free pass is just bad strategy.
What value is there in you helping to silence Ann Coulter while no one on the left will even try to hold the Bill Mahers and Rosie Odonnells of the world silent for their behaviour.
This is a tactic of the left that is exploiting certain conservatives, “Principles” in order to win battles.
It is absolutely insane to allow them to have victories with this strategy.
What value is your standing on “principle”, when the net result of that strategy is to silence conservative voices while allowing unsquelched voices on the left to continue shouting.
Don’t win a battle and lose the war, the enemy (Al Queda, Democrat Party, Iran) thinks strategically and so should our side.
Everytime you put your arm arounf KOSs shoulder and try to silence Ann, ask yourself how many time Markos has helped you to silence hateful voices on the left.
If our side is not willing to fight, we will not win and America has lost already.
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 1:54 PM
This one has a strong predeliction for expoilting money from illness. That hairspray is expensive, and buying the offsets for using so much of it just makes it more so.
bbz123 on April 5, 2007 at 1:54 PM
The Edwards people will turn anything into fundraising. Edwards has a contact form on his website. I sent a statement highly critical of him about something-or-other. I got back an email “Welcome to Team Edwards – How ’bout some dough!”
eeyore on April 5, 2007 at 1:57 PM
Why wouldn’t he take advantage of his wife’s cancer; he made a fortune taken advantage of children with cerebral palsy.
bopbottle on April 5, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Oh, that is just all sorts of nonsense. How is criticizing a stupid statement trying to “silence Ann?”
She’s free to say what she wants – we’re free to call her unhelpful and foolish for doing so.
Slublog on April 5, 2007 at 1:58 PM
Er… Everything?
I guess there just aren’t any individuals in your world disgusting enough to justify an insult thrown in their general direction.
You’re a better Christian than I am ;-)
Misha I on April 5, 2007 at 2:01 PM
Exactly. And this is the same thing Coulter fans said of the Dixie Chicks.
Esthier on April 5, 2007 at 2:01 PM
Yup you are correct. It is worse. My intention was just to shine light on the fact that both scumbags are willing to take advantage of and use their own wives (whatever the scenario) in order to cover their own political asses. Bill Clinton put his own wife’s reputation on the line (put her in a position to look ignorant, untruthful, foolish and embarrased) for the longshot chance that his own reputation could be salvaged. John Edwards is turning his own wife’s horrible illness into a sympathy dollar generator in an attempt to salvage his faultering politcal campaign for President.
Zetterson on April 5, 2007 at 2:01 PM
I imagine Hillary was involved in that as well. She was no pawn.
Esthier on April 5, 2007 at 2:03 PM
C’mon… give it a rest already.
dalewalt on April 5, 2007 at 2:03 PM
Well said. I simply cannot imagine men like Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan or even Carter doing this sort of thing.
Slublog on April 5, 2007 at 2:04 PM
Well said.
dalewalt on April 5, 2007 at 2:04 PM
Ha! Yes Esthier. I’m afraid you may be correct as well. Her run for President was certainly well underway at that point so she certainly did have a dog in that race as did her husband. She was more then likely a willing accomplice in that deceipt.
Zetterson on April 5, 2007 at 2:09 PM
You are miising my point.
Criticise her to your hearts content. that is America.
When you call on Media to ban her from appearing because of what she says, you are playing into democrat hands.
I don’t mind criticising conservative pundits, for example:
HotAir has no backbone and will not stand up to left wing political correctness.
That is a fair criticism. I will never ask for HotAir to be banned for this reason.
Ok now do you understand the difference between the right to criticise and knee jerk joining of the left wing bandwagon to silence Ann.
Criticism is good. Silencing conservative voices to show submission of left wing ideals of Political Correctness is bad strategy.
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 2:09 PM
Classy, huh?
CP on April 5, 2007 at 2:10 PM
Well, gee golly willikers…I shore do now Mr. Phrenzie.
Condescension is a rather counterproductive method to get one’s point across.
But still, give it up. It’s over. Ann was well within her rights to say what she said, but others were well within theirs to offer the opinion that they wouldn’t attend an event with Coulter as a speaker again.
Slublog on April 5, 2007 at 2:13 PM
People on the Right weren’t doing that. The worst I ever heard is that people who book her understand that she is who she is and should therefore be more careful when booking her.
Esthier on April 5, 2007 at 2:13 PM
God, lets derail the Coulter argument train before it goes outta control…again.
Bad Candy on April 5, 2007 at 2:16 PM
The truth about the Edwards campaign here in my estimation though is that this whole thing damaged his fundraising. As soon as he stepped out in front of the cameras with his wife at that press conference to announce the recurrance of her cancer I had 2 thoughts: 1) He is going to get a temporary bump in the polls 2) All major political fundraisers who were in his camp were all simultaneously yelling “sell Edwards!” The big political doners were running away from his campaign as fast as they could. I believe alot of this money ended up being siphoned right into the Obama camp. Most of those big political doners are in that business to make investments not donations. Mrs Edwards news was not good for their business.
Truthfully, I think this makes John Edwards even more of a scumbag. Its one thing to use your wife if you have a legit shot of becoming successful in your endeavors but its another thing use your wife in order to pursue a lost cause.
Zetterson on April 5, 2007 at 2:18 PM
Sorry about that. To get back on topic:
Charles Colson caused a minor controversy when he said he’d run over his own grandmother to get Nixon elected.
How far we’ve come…
Slublog on April 5, 2007 at 2:18 PM
http://www.theamericanmind.com/2007/03/05/an-open-letter-to-cpac-sponsors-and-organizers-regarding-ann-coulter/
State your opinion however you want, but the above link is the “open letter” signed by a number of “right-wing blogs” that calls on CPAC to censor Ann.
Please show me the link for any similar endeavor from the left for any of the numerous, vile speakers on their side.
Make your point however you want, but in the internet age, you can’t rewrite history.
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 2:26 PM
And BTW, When is Hot Air going to add an Open Forum so we can discuss these things without “hijacking” the closest relevent thread. :D
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 2:26 PM
Er, Esthier, yes they were.
A quote (but do read the whole thing, as they say):
And, with that, I apologize for participating in the thread-jacking, I just felt that I needed to correct that statement.
Back to the topic: Edwards is a slimeball, right?
Misha I on April 5, 2007 at 2:27 PM
I can see the Edwards camp now, if funding goes down.
Edwards:”If we put a feeding tube in her, do you think we could get more money?”
Campaign Director (Nick Baldick): “Maybe a wheelchair, any close ups make sure a little drool is shown…it will give an idication of a possible stroke”
Edwards: “Are there any children diseases still left? Ones that pop up when they are in the 20’s?
Baldick: “No the most we can hope for is drug rehab, our side eats that up. They love our drugs, hate the conservatives that use drugs, a win-win.”
Edwards: Thats it, order the wheelchair and drugs…I can always fall back on “I was molested as a child”. Hell hire a pudgy intern, it helped Bill.
right2bright on April 5, 2007 at 2:28 PM
This thread wasn’t relevant to your comments at all. Neither was the other one you used to link to Coulter’s column today.
You didn’t like our criticism of Coulter. Get. Over. It.
Bryan on April 5, 2007 at 2:29 PM
You’re wrong Bryan. Ignore the fact that HA is bought and paid for (in a manner of speaking) by you, AP, HA, et.al. Any criticisms you post *must* be agreeable to all of us… no exception. What, you think you own this place?
/sarc (in case it wasn’t apparent :-)
dalewalt on April 5, 2007 at 2:35 PM
uh… shoulda been MM in there. oops. (easy way to get banned… forget the boss lady)
dalewalt on April 5, 2007 at 2:36 PM
I believe that you are intelligent enough that I don’t need to explain the relevence of Ann’s coments about John Edwards behaviour in a post that describes John Edwards behaviour.
The issue is not relevence, the issue is you don’t like being criticised. Do as I say, not as I do. Message received.
However,even though it is absolutely relevent, Hot Air is “your house” if my comments aren’t welcome, I won’t sully your house.
And thus the DUification of Hot Air begins…
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 2:39 PM
Bye JayHaw.
dalewalt on April 5, 2007 at 2:40 PM
Oh, the drama!
Slublog on April 5, 2007 at 2:43 PM
Awww, crap, there really is no avoiding this Coulter thing, is there?
Bad Candy on April 5, 2007 at 2:49 PM
When this site is reduced to only people that agree with the Mods on every issue, how interesting will the comments section be?
Anyway, as the Mod said, he feels it’s not relevent, so subject closed.
I do think Edwards is a dirtbag, but that has been said already.
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 2:50 PM
Too bad, you actually had a couple of good points (and a couple of useless snide remarks). On the next blog that you post I would suggest that you state your argument, and if it is universally rejected…move on. Don’t take it personal, it is just a forum for ideas.
And where the Heck did you come up with the word “sully”? That one is a beaut.
Hey AP, from now one I would have everyone wipe their feet before blogging…we want no sullying of this house.
right2bright on April 5, 2007 at 2:52 PM
JHP, dude, its because you’re looking for this Coulter fight. If you get tombstoned(thought I’d throw a DU term in there, as HA begins its morph), its ebcause you’re trying to drag every post you can into another Coulter slugfest.
Bad Candy on April 5, 2007 at 2:52 PM
True Love has no boundaries.
Love for politics that is.
The true measure of the man is how well he’ll sell out his wife, children, and friends.
It’s not a job, it’s a religion.
Kini on April 5, 2007 at 2:54 PM
That’s what I meant when I said they were calling on people to be careful with her. Yes Ann is responsible for her own comments, but she’s very well known for making comments like that, so clearly anyone who books her should expect this. Therefore, the burden also falls on those who book her.
It’s like saying you don’t intend to insult Christians while you book Marilyn Manson (is he even popular anymore?).
Fair enough. That’s not a blog I keep up with. The ones I read regularly did no such thing. I supposed I should have kept it about Hot Air since that’s who was being accused in the first place.
Esthier on April 5, 2007 at 3:02 PM
And really, I can’t claim to know what the entire Right Wing does for anything.
Esthier on April 5, 2007 at 3:03 PM
Nor would I expect you to. I didn’t post to say “neener” or to, in any shape, form or fashion, suggest that you weren’t being honest, I just wanted to set the record straight :-)
Just wanted to make it clear that I weren’t trying to attack you. Sometimes I manage to get what I want to say lost in translation. Mheh.
Misha I on April 5, 2007 at 3:07 PM
I tend to agree that the whole affair was a tactical move, if he was planning on continuing the run despite his wife’s cancer, why even bring it up in public? He and his peeps planned the whole press conference and subsequent statements from the ground up, purley for press nad the symathy factor. Pure and utter scuzzballery.
bbz123 on April 5, 2007 at 3:07 PM
Can anyone explain the origins of the name Silky Pony? I googled it to no avail, and wikipedia doesn’t have an article.
I think it’s a great name for him because it’s so irreverent at any rate.
JamesVersusEveryone on April 5, 2007 at 3:08 PM
I think He’s gonna let the commentors deal on this one. Not a chance God gets in the middle, uh-uh, no way, stayin’ out of it…
eeyore on April 5, 2007 at 3:08 PM
Jayhaw, get over yourself. A person should be held accountable for what they say and do. Just because you think she walks on water and heals lepers does not give her a free pass to say idiotic and irresponsible things. What she had played directly into the hands of the liberals. She gave Edwards more street cred by saying it. That people think that a person that is going to shoot them in the foot should not speak at Cpac is not censorship. What about the rights of those people that want to hear a speach that is in line with their beliefes? I am sure most of the conservatives their did not want to hear some inflamatory and undeserved comment about Edwards being a f@g. I guesse what the sponsers and guest want is not as important as Ann’s right to say it? Freedom of speach for thee but not for me, is that it? Then you come in this post and start another flame war because you don’t like your goddess being held accountable. Well, too bad. AP, Bryan and yes, even us poor lowly posters who do not bask in the glory of Ann 24/7 like you do have the right to say what we want. Unlike DO or KOS this is a free speach zone.
Finaly, show some freaking manners. Every other post I see you in you are hijacking it. And for what? To attack Hotair because they dared to not beleive as you do. When you hijack a thread you are dishonering the posters, the commenters, and the spirit of the post. It is a crass and low thing to do.
You have 2 choices. Either move on or accept that not every one believes as you do. But stop disrespecting all of us peons down here with your constant hijacks.
I apologise to the rest of the HA community, and to Bryan and Ap for my rant.
Wyrd on April 5, 2007 at 3:10 PM
There was a video of him getting ready for a public appearance. His hair was constantly (for 5 minutes at least) being brushed and combed, all the while he was looking into a mirror. It must still be around, it was quite pathetic.
Hence the name, Silky Pony, as in “My Silky Pony” a play poney (from the 70’s) with a long mane and tail. My daughter had one and spent hours brushing it and grooming it. I suspect Michelle has one also.
right2bright on April 5, 2007 at 3:13 PM
In all fairness….did Senator Edwards personally post that on his site, or was it done by a staffer without his knowledge?
Yeah, yeah, yeah….he should be constantly monitoring 24/7 everything that’s being put up on his own site blah, blah, blah….in a perfect world, folks.
I would just like to know all the facts on this one before allowing my innate cynicism to kick in.
The Ugly American on April 5, 2007 at 3:34 PM
This doesn’t surprise me in the least. The moonbat left have ALWAYS exploited their loved ones illnesses for political gain. Look at all the gay people who have died from aids and they are barely in the ground and their name gets bandied about like a girls phone number on a $hithouse wall!
These people are pathetic.
csdeven on April 5, 2007 at 3:42 PM
Whoever let it go through deserves criticism, but you’re right, I’ll give him the benefit til I know for sure. Campaigns are chaotic. That said, after the Marcotte issue, you’d think he’d be a little less sloppy about what he lets get posted on his site.
Bad Candy on April 5, 2007 at 3:49 PM
Wyrd,
I am not gonna fight the Hot Air groupthink mentality that you express so well in your post.
Every comment that I made was relevent to the posted subject matter and the relevence should be clear to any intelligent person.
Even google ads figured out that she was relevent. Look what ad is featured on this page.
However, the truth is not that I am not willing to accept a difference of opinion. I do accept that the Mods of this site and a few of the more sycophantic commenters feel differently.
My point is that it is bad stratgey and that you are being played like fools by the left.
There has not been one argument offered to counter this.
However, the Mods somehow feel it is relevent (2 posted in this thread) because while they are willing to criticise others, they are not willing to accept criticism.
This character flaw is their right as they own the site. That was my final point.
I concede nothing on the issue that I raised as there has not been one counterargument to that point on this thread.
That being said, there is no point in offering an explanation to people that aren’t willing to listem, that is why I am dropping this discussion.
I still like the website and I will offer the occasional snark when the mood hits me, but clearly the Mods and sycophants are sure in their self righteousness about Ann that the topic is above debate to them and therefore why belabor the point.
I just appreciate the irony of a Website that is trying to be Center Right also worshipping at the alter of Political Correctness.
Most mods and posters here should be intelligent enough to understand that irony.
JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 3:55 PM
If you had any principles, you could answer that yourself.

JayHaw Phrenzie on April 5, 2007 at 4:16 PM
Let’s get something straight, I don’t appreciate being lumped into a certain category just because I may or may not agree with your point of view. That’s what liberals do. I think for myself, and can make-up my own mind. What is it that you would like everybody here to do, support Coulter through thick and thin? And what, if we all don’t, we are moderates/liberals/part of the groupthink/semi-intelligent…??
I get it, you like and support Coulter.
Rick on April 5, 2007 at 4:22 PM
Jayhaw,
You are so right.
When someone on our side says something dumb we should give them a pass and support them.
If a republican senator is caught propositioning male pages we should just chuckle and let bygones be bygones right?
If a republican shoots his mouth off about those darn sp*cs crossing the border we should politely nod outr heads and not call him on it. When a Republican house member has 90K in a freezer we should think nothing about it, just assume that he likes cold hard currency. (I know some of the example were democrats, its just an illustration)
Is that your argument? That we should form a tight wedge with our compatriots? Walk in step proudly in our brown shirts? Presenting the aura of strength to our foes, as we march them down with our long knives ready to slash? It sure does look like it. You basic position is that We are all bad because some hold Ann Coulter responsible for something she said. You believe that we should give her a pass. Too many other people do not believe that. What is Ann Coulter anyway? She is an author, a lawyer, a smart woman, attractive. But she is also about as tactfull as a bag of dead mice, and nearly as subtle. I may agree with much of what she says but I will still not follow her blindly. Cpac might be better off with a differnet speaker. Their is no law saying that Cpac is obligated to sign her up. So what is your argument? That people should just shut up and let themselves be offended? Awfully liberal of you.
I posit that you are being used by the liberal media. You and others that beleive that your side can do no wrong, that they can say and do what ever they wish without fear of reprisal from those within their ranks.
Each spitefull thing said by a conservative is posted for all to see. Every idiotic comment is attributed to the entire conservative movement. THAT is what people did not like about her comment. it is ahrd to win converts to your cause when one of your spokespersons says something that dumb.
A person should be held accountable for their deeds and actions. That is my argument. If you say something stupid either back it up, or apologise.
PC is over used. But if you came up to me and told me to get my filthy jew lovin dirty portagees ass off the street I would likely lay you out. Seems to me that for any debate to be valid their should be some basic level of decorum. if their is not then all you have left is a bunch of 5th grade name calling.
Wyrd on April 5, 2007 at 4:24 PM
I understand. And that was my intent in responding as well, to explain that I was intending to be dishonest just incase that wasn’t clear before. :)
Esthier on April 5, 2007 at 4:26 PM
Fine, you want the counter, fine. I cant even believe I’m letting you drag me into this, dammit. We’re not being played by the left at all. Ann screwed up, big time, and it hurt our cause, its called damage control. If you ask the average guy on the street, they’ll say use of the word f*ggot is inappropriate. Period end of story. That’s the world we live in, you or I didn’t make it that way, and neither did the mods. And, yes, I personally find the use of it bad, no it isn’t clouding my judgement, and yes I got the joke, it was a weak one.
Whetheer you want to accept it or not, not only is the average person not in tune with much thats going on in politics, those that do often only use basic news sources…MSM. Which means what exactly???
It means, that whether we want it to or not, things like that are gonna be used to pound our cause. Ann, no matter what her intent was, handed the media a hammer to bludgeon us with. The options are to bail or support her. To support her, when we have a limited capacity to respond to those who have limited contact with tthe news is foolish and costly, and a lost cause when the MSM has such an impact on the tone of the country.
Until we have our own media system that can truly counter the MSM with coverage from our perspective, expect us to continue throwing people like Ann under the bus. It sucks, but its reality. Deal.

Hey, I’m with you on this, but you’re beating a dead horse. Just drop it and we’ll wait and see what happens the next time there is a choice between carrying the lefts PC water and supporting conservative ideals.
csdeven on April 5, 2007 at 5:15 PM
I’m giving Edwards the benefit of the doubt. Entering an email address and then being solicited is, as far as I can tell, normal. The fact that he didn’t give the option of not receiving future emails is a little around the way, but excusable.

Oh…never mind.
John from WuzzaDem on April 5, 2007 at 5:56 PM
I might tend to agree with you but for Edwards’ conduct of late. As far as I’m concerned, the guy is a joke. He flip-flops worse than Kerry, and worse yet, the guy doesn’t take responsibility for anything he does – it’s always somebody else’s fault (advisors, etc.). I’m just waiting for some comment from Edwards that states that it was the internet advisor’s fault that there was an e-mail address requirement, and that they solicited those same people later (and that it went against his gut feeling).
Rick on April 5, 2007 at 5:58 PM
Hey, come on, that’s just not fair!
Everybody knows that delegating responsibility means that you’re NEVER responsible for ANYTHING.
(Unless you’re a Republican, of course, in which case we need Congressional hearings and Stalinist show trials, followed by perp walks and public hangings).
If Silky Pony, after everything else that he’s fucked up beyond recognition, STILL can’t keep his troops in line, then we sure as HELL don’t need the incompetent fuckwit as Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful nation in the world.

Well, you’re going to have to pick up the slack. This post was up for almost four hours before anyone started talking about carrying PC water for the left. That’s not going to look good on your next review.
And I’ve yet to see one mention of RINOs anywhere in this comment thread. You people are getting lazy.

You know…….. working all day on the west coast, and trying to peek at this blog when I can during the day, then getting home and have a window of a few minutes, to speed read through my beloved fellow contributors, who, are making, then unmaking points I want to add…….. is the reason that I am left to post my twisted sense of humor.
All I have left to say is………..
Sssssssssssssssssssiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllky Pooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyy!

That’s exactly what I’d expect a RINO like you to say.
Why don’t you go vote against a tax cut, or sacrifice a puppy to Molech or whatever it is you RINOs do?
I wouldn’t know, of course.

I have attempted to drop this subject do to communitty pressure. :/
However, I do want to thank Bad Candy for being the one and only person to respond to the substance of my post.
I am constantly stunned by how unaware the average person is and how much they take MSM at face value.
That being said, I still would not censor her. Every point she makes, every controversial statement she throws out there is right on point. Her fearlessness, intelligence and determination make her a someone that should be supported.
The left cried about the “Jersey Girls” comment, but Ann was right on the money then and she was right on the money with Edwards. Some people may want to scream and censor her for calling John Edwards what he is, but they take one look at silky pony and they are thinking, “You know, she has a point.”
Ann is more significant to the modern conservative movement than ANY of the blogs that signed the laughable open letter.
To let the left wing silence her is to grant them a victory they should not get.

Ann said some stuff on H&C tonight that was very pointed, but mild for what we are used to hearing. She said something about “rabbithole Pennsylvania” referring to the small town a republican representitive is from. I got what she meant, but hypersensitive people might react poorly.
This is exactly my point as to why we conservatives need to leave her alone. The more extreme she is, the more moderate mainstream conservatives are percieved. The left has succeeded in radicalizing moderate conservative ideals that 20 years ago were common sense thinking. People like Rosie O Piggo makes people like Colmes look reasonable. This is why the MSM thinks they are main stream thinkers. They see where the far right is and then the far left, and they settle themselves in the middle. The “middle” happens to be where that loon Colmes sits. Ann is going to extend the extreme right out to a point where the middle will be where MM et al are.
That is a good thing and we do ourselves a dis-service when we attack Ann before the libs can.
Edwards looks like the opportunistic ambulance chaser that he is. I guess using your wifes illness as a political tool fits right in with his behavior in the past. This guy is another Jimmy Carter waiting to destroy this country and the economy with his hairbrained ideas.

Nine whole hours. I bet you were sweating bullets the whole time.
Hey, isn’t there a Nor’easter a-comin’ or something?
