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.

3. 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.

4.
This article is innacurate as I am not surprised it would be. TMZ is taking it all out of context . If you were to provide your readers with how the word was actually associated with John Edwards, you would realize what her true intent of the discussion was about. I didn't realize how biased this site is!

5. 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.

6. Did TMZ also call ABC to ask if they were getting rid of Rosie and Joy?

They can say whatever they feel whenever they want so I don't really see the difference except that liberal websites like this make it a big deal.

7. 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.

8. Ann Coulter represents the extreme right just like alot of Hollywood represents the extreme left. Should she go to rehab now?? I don't think so. By making a big deal of this, you are giving Ann Coulter exactly what she wants: publicity. Get over IT or IT will overcome you.

9. Thank God these little hissy's can't reproduce or we would all be in trouble,right you little arse bandits!

10. She just looks evil with those crazy eyes! She is just an old dryed up bitch looking for her 15 min like everyone else (jennifer hudson).

11. Ugh, I can't stand that witch. Her statements prove that she's nothing more than a redneck racist - a redneck racist with expensive highlights, but one none the less.

I admire Edwards for taking the high road on this one. Coulter is just trying to get a rise out of people.

BTW, does anyone else think that she looks like a neanderthal wth those deep-set eyes? I wonder if she gets offended by the Geiko commercials.

12. 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.

13. This woman is such a low life piece of crap. She has a big mouth and regardless of what she thinks, she is an uneducated ignorant person. I can't believe people actually listen to her and give her the time of day. The reason I know this story is because it's be plastered over the news. I can't believe she is still given any opportunity to speak. WHO CARES. Ann go home, no one liks you, we all smile and say nice things but really could give two shits what comes out of your mouth. This is just another one of those school yard taunts, oh and your mother's ugly and dresses you funny.

14. Shut you crying babies on the left. You call Bush Hitler and that is OK?? Give me a break!!! You would love for anyone but the Dems to care.. but we don't. Hahahahahahaha... ever hear of sticks and stones?

Posted at 1:39PM on Mar 6th 2007 by SHUT UP YOU CRYING LIBERALS!!!
