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

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.

17. I thnk Ann Coulter is great. I particularly chuckled at her comment everyone is so upset about. Lighten up those who were offended :)

18. 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.

19. 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!!

21. One would that a 45 year old woman would be above school yard taunts and jokes.

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

23. 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.

24. Can someone get a petition started to have her dropped from Fox? I am sure plenty of people would support it.. Boycott this vile hateful person!

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

27. Ann Coulter is a sick woman. She's a media hound and sets out purposely to create media backlashes because ANY publicity is better than none. She is filled with hatred for so many. She doesn't judge person by person. She judges label by label, and disparages those she professes to hate (but doesn't know) with sweeping condemnations.

Her opinions are based solely on WHO is in the picture, not on the facts. I guarantee you -- if you locked her up for five years with no access to the news (and excellent idea, by the way), and let her out and gave her a rundown of what was going on in the world WITHOUT saying who was a Democrat or a Republican, she could not tell you. I hear her spew so much drivel and I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, she'd have a completely reverse opinion if the parties were switched.

She's a sick woman, and her "intelligence" is useless when used in such a vituperative manner -- and in such a childish one.

She has often been wrong. I don't know how many of you saw her make a complete ass of herself on Canada TV about the Canadians & the Vietnam War. She really showed her ignorance there! She never seems to have a comment when she is proven wrong. She just crawls under her rock and slithers out again at a future date.

ANYONE can spew hatred; it's why the world is such a mess. COULTERGEIST, as Keith Olbermann of MSNBC appropriately calls her, should be locked up and given serious help for her mental and emotional problems.

I could go on in detail; I have better things to do.

28. Everyone overreacts by whatever she says..I love bluntness whether it comes from the left or the right. People overreact because a lot hate her. I'm neutral. This word is used on the school yard a lot like she states. We all grew up hearing it used in jest there. It's the modern day term of calling a straight guy a 'sissy'. In addition, it's used pejoratively towards gays, but she was using it as a synonym for 'sissy'. Yes, she's an effing bitch. But it's freedom of speech, baby.

29. Its like a herd of cockaroaches,when you turn out the lights their bumping and humping into one another

30. Ann Coulter is allowed her opinion and to "taunt" whomever she damn well pleases. Why is it ok when the "left" taunts...but suddenly "politically incorrect" when the right does. I'm not sure that all right-winged conservatives agree with her "sense of humor" but it's the left that's always telling us Americans that we need to protect freedom of speech. So what is it? And what's up with TMZ trying to get everyone fired? This is a celebrity "gossip" site...not a political lobby site! Stick to what you know...Paris Hilton, Britney & Greasy Bear. If I wanted to "sound-off" on politics I would visit those websites!
