Coulter vs Edwards, Round Three
EmailABC’s Raelyn Johnson reports: Presidential contender Sen. John Edwards (D-NC) and conservative commentator Ann Coulter may not like each other, but apparently they still listen to each other.
Last week, Edwards called Coulter a ‘she-devil’ during an event in Burlington, Iowa in which he railed against the right-wing media. He reminded the crowd that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer.
"We know these people. We know their game plan. They’re going to attack us personally," said Edwards. "They attacked Elizabeth personally, because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter. … I should not have name-called. But the truth is — forget the names — people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language."
And Coulter responded Thursday on Fox news, saying, “I think being called a she-devil by a trial lawyer is meant as a compliment. I thank him for that.”
She continued, “But I just want to take, you know, the opportunity with this show to say, "No, John, I will not date you.”
For those keeping score, Coulter currently has the last word. But they’re both winners here. Each battle means potentially increased books sales for Coulter, as well as an increase for Edwards’ customized campaign fundraising appeal for“Coulter Cash.”

Two sick people, but at least Coulter has the guts to be honest!!! Edwards makes the Clintons look honest by comparison and they haven’t told the truth in their adult lives!

Geddesman: That’s a fascinating statement. I assume that you’ve got lots of examples. How about providing a few?
Hmmm. I thought so.

I know little about Edwards, and I don’t really care but Ann Coulter is simply praying on the emotions of her audience to make money. I can not recall a single instance where Ann has used a factual unemotional argument to make her point. It is a terrible pitty that the latest generation of liberal and conservative commetators has found an audience for their devisive comentary.
We need some serious help in this country to find some answers to Iraq, terrorism, energy, the economy, etc. Name calling and personal insults does not get us any closer to those answers.

John! Ever argue with fools; it can be impossible for the bystanders to tell the difference.

Mike, LMAO!!! Looks like Ann needed some press, just like Obamagirl did. She’ll never stop attacking him because she’s trying to stay in the spotlight-she loves it. Hopefully, John will be the bigger person (he should) and let this argument go. As long as he catfights with her, she will stay in the spotlight. When Elizabeth was talking to her on hardball, her little rat face nose and mouth were twitching with excitement-

Anything Ann Coulter drools out, should just be dismissed out of hand. She’s just a primitive media XXXXX looking for a buck. Sorry, I did not mean to offend Prostitutes, at least you get something for their lies. With Ann you get nothing for your money.
I have an 87 yr old conservative mom, who wants to take her out back and beat the crap out of her for what she said about the 911 widows.
p.s. She spends more on her hair than Edwards!
p.p.s It doesn’t help.

Edwards is an honest guy. John Edwards will be the next president of the United States.

This woman needs to go away. Take a trip to the ends of the earth or something. I don’t take her serious anymore. She kind of reminds you of a Frat girl waiting in line for a ride on a Jock.

A little advice to John Edwards….

Debating the She-Devil
Reading Political Radars account of the public spat between John Edwards and Ann Coulter, I wonder if the end result is to place the two on an equal level. Instead of elevating himself to the level of a front runner. Edwards has managed to lower…

Don’t you kind of get the idea we have the hair pulling 5th grader syndrome going on here?

Ann Coulter is the WORST example of the nasty right-wing Republicans and the worst type of female. If the media had any sense at all they would wipe her off the face of the earth. She should not be given the compliment of any publicity. She is a total waste of a human being.

John Edwards is a liar’s liar. He just got caught with his pants down again as his 16 million dollar investment in a hedge fund, heavily invested in sub prime mortgages, that is currently foreclosing on homes in Ward 9 in LA where he kicked off his Presidential Campaign saying he would be a champion for the poor! Disgusting! I don’t know who’s more disgusting Edwards or Coulter which is really saying something. I wish they would both go away! Third Party Now!!!
OkieFromMuskogee – You’re kidding right?

Hate or love her, at least if you are going to be insulted by what she said, get the WHOLE quotes “About the – oh yeah. I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. Now, that would be mean. But about the same time, you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I’ve learned my lesson. If I’m gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.
Oh, and did you read the headlined story about Bill Maher wishing VP Cheney DEAD? If not, why not?

Ann needs to do something about those roots. Seriously, only on Fox and the conservative Limbaugh netherworld would someone like her (him?) flourish. John, her stupidity does’t merit a response. Let it go and spend your time on real issues.

Good thing Edwards shows he’s the smarter of the two in statements like this “ABC News’ Rick Klein reports, “When an Iowa resident asked former Senator John Edwards whether the US should follow the Cuban health care model, Edwards deflected the question, saying he didn’t know enough to answer it.” Edwards said, “Well, I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t know a lot about Cuba’s health care system. Is it a government-run system?”

“He reminded the crowd that his wife stood up to Coulter” Maybe if he’s elected President he will have her be the Commander in Chief, since she seems to fight his battles for him!!

Bantering with Ann Coulter is like arguing with the devil – you are not going to win. Best thing would be to consider the source and let her babble – everyone is wise to her now. She wouldn’t be believed if she swore something on a stack of bibles. The Edwards should back away from Coulter the devil and let her drown in her own vile vomit. The woman is a freakin psycho.

Retired subsailor sounds like he would prefer Ann as prez.

No, Ann Coulter is a commentator and writer, with no resume as a leader and decision maker of a large executive level post. This last part happens to be the one thing that she shares with Edwards and the rest of the Democratic candidates.

Name one Democratic woman as hot as Ann Coulter? Laura Ingraham?
Posted by: Mike | August 28, 2007, 4:33 pm 4:33 pm
LMAO.
A mountain of lies,treasonous betrayal of field agents, needlessly dead infantrymen sent to their deaths by a CIC who hid from a war himself and then lied to cover it up, billions in kickbacks to KBR and Haliburton for work that was never done, lethal untreated water to service personnel from Cheney’s own company, illegal surveillance of American citizens, subversions of the Constitution and legal due process, multiple lies about gay sex, gay prositution and drug addiction in the right wing press machine, trillions in debt from a previous surplus, the devastation of an entire city right here in the United States without so much as a whimper from the White House… the list goes on.
Ann would have to do a “Heckuva Job” to be even vaguely relevant right now.

I am thrilled that men don’t like Ann either! Our country and the world do not need people like her in the media. She is about riling people up not bringing people together!
