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.

31.
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!

32. 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.

35. She spreads hatred, fear and intolerance just like every Republican...

36. Coulter considers being called 'vile' a compliment. (unfortunately)

She won't stop until she's banned from all networks except FOX.
Or....enough people like me boycott the sponsors on her website.

It's amusing to watch the Repugs trying to distance themselves from her most recent attack. All, of course, in private are giggling.

37. I've met John Edwards. He is not a *@%$#@ and we should all vote for him and the hell with Ann the Mouth. He'd be / been a whole lot better than the dictator we have now. Just my opinion.

38. John Edwards should publically call her a c**ty shrewd.

39. All the right-winged groups have nothing better to do than have Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly spread your nonsense-which most of it is. Grow up and stop being so nasty and calling people names. If Ann goes around calling people names, it just shows what grade level she really is at.

40. too bad she and bill o'reilly weren't into S&M (who knows maybe they are--) they could ball and gags on each other and the world would be a much less shrill and caustic place..

41. Coulter is a very intelligent person and never says anything without a purpose and all you left wing libs should lighten up as your people always get away with their shit..Did you catch the southern talkin draw that Hillary has now obtained since she is speaking in the south! Any one want to comment? Also Maher did say Cheney should have been killed!

43. This is buulish. Where is the full court press that the gay community put on Isaiah Washington? Where is the petition? Where are the protests? Where is the outrage? Where are the letters to Fox's Sponsors? I guess it's too hard to put pressure on a white woman,huh?

44. But "Stan" when ya do that, you only give her more power, don't you think?

What gays ought to do is unite en masse and give her what she really deserves---non-stop criticism exposing her for what she really is.
Demand an apology, for starters. Just sayin......Coulter counts on people getting upset. It's what keeps her in business.

45. Ann sucks balls! She is vile and evil! Fox News, of course they would keep her....they are after all "fair and balanced".....F and B my arse! That channel is a joke and a Republican news machine. Down with Ann and down with Fox!
