Celebrity Feuds
FOX to Ann -- Be Our Guest... But That's It

Posted Mar 6th 2007 12:27PM by TMZ Staff

Ann CoulterDespite referring to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a fa**ot, FOX News Channel is standing by 45-year-old lanky, right-wing loudmouth Ann Coulter.

Just yesterday, FOX News booked Coulter on "Hannity & Colmes," where she defended her haughty homophobic invective, saying it was not "an insulting word" but a "schoolyard taunt" and a "joke."

TMZ asked FOX if they would dump Coulter. The obtuse response: "Ann Coulter is not a paid commentator and her remarks don't reflect the views of FOX News Channel." We take that as a "no."

TMZ also contacted Coulter's agent to see if she would be dropped for making the remark, just like CAA dropkicked conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage over a similar homophobic remark against Melissa Etheridge. But the powerful William Morris Agency was mum on Coulter. We called and e-mailed, but no response.

1. She is a vile person.

2. Ann Coulter is a certified nut-job hate-inciting POS. That goes DOUBLE for Sean Hannity. No WAY is FAUX News gonna ditch either one of em as long as they're successfully peddaling their anti-American brand of hate.

BTW I hear Coulter is really a guy who "tucks it". The adams apple is a dead giveaway.

3. I am not in the least upset by Ann coulter's remarks. Personally....I think people need to get a life and move on.....there are much more important things in this world than an off handed remark. Plus....this is America and we are suppose to be able to speak our mind and express our opinions.

5. What FOX and other media said YES to was trying to minimize Ann Coulter's disgusting comments by FABRICATING a story about BILL MAHER. They said he SAID he wanted Cheney dead, which he did OOT say. I hope Bill sues all of their sorry asses.

6. I hope that TMZ is also asking HBO about firing BIll Maher for suggesting that it would be better if Cheney had been killed by the bomb attempt on his life last week. You know, just to keep things intellectually honest at TMZ.

11. This woman says it like it is (not the whole what's his face being gay, but the faggot being a school yard term meaning wuss). More people need to stop being so damn offended and realize that times have changed, expressions have changed, and it's time to deal with it. I hate all this PC bullshit, no one can make a joke, or express themselves without being totally criticized. I am sure all of you call people some terrible names on the freeway in the morning on your way to work, I know I do. Stop being so hard on these "celebrities". They are human too, entitled to their opinion and whichever form of expression they choose. People are so quick to jump on their high horse, ooh, look what she said, who cares. If we would all just grow up and get over it the world would be a better place!!

12. Oh, okay. In the spirit of 'free speech' let me say this: Trann Coulter needs to have her teeth smashed in with a baseball bat.

And one question, Trann: Are your balls as big as your Adam's Apple?

She is a piece of filth.

13. What a nasty bitch - hopefully none of her children will turn out gay - she should be taken out back and shot

14. I don't recall TMZ asking if ABC will fire Rosie or Joy for all their hate against conservatives or Republicans.

If they can say what they want and get paid by a network for it then why can't Fox News keep an unpaid commentator?
TMZ is becoming nothing more than an anti-Conservative website. You do nothing more now than serve up things to spread the hatred.

BTW, I was there and it was a joke about rehab. A bad joke, yes but a joke nonetheless.

15. She's a rotten tranny and can rot in a cell with Scooter Lying Libby. How's the blood clot, Dick?
