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.

76. What's the problem? Is Edwards a faggot? If no, then quit whining about it and move on. We have a lot more problems in the word than having to worry about somebody calling somebody else a name.

77. 43. "Coulter is a very intelligent person"

So was Hitler.
So was the Uni-Bomber
Some say David Duke is intelligent, too.

"and never says anything without a purpose"

And none of the people I mention did (or does), either.


Coulter is a pig. I'm so glad she finally hung herself. Even the most right wingers out there agree she's gone too far.

78. Isiah Washington didnt get off that easy -- Ann Coulter is a nasty piece of garbage - and she would not have called him a fa**ot in that sort of forum and in that fashion if she did not believe it to be a slur, slam, insult, etc...
I hope that the media does not let this one slide because of her so-called friends!

79. Why would TMZ want to know if FOXNews was going "to drop" a guest? Ann doesn't work for FOX. Watch the video, it was clearly a harmless joke.

80. What is the difference between Coulter making this joke and Whoopi Goldberg likening the President of the United States to a woman's .. well, "bush,"? The only difference is that Coulter's joke was funny and Whoopi's was not.
Ann Coulter rocks and is not afraid to be politically incorrect! yay for her.

81. She brings shame to the cause of Christ. And Christian organizations who book her should be ashamed of themselves.

82. Ann Coulter looks like a horse, only not as pretty. If she could get laid once every year or so she wouldn't be such a bitter old rag.

84. For the retarded republicans who cite things blindly, the first Amendment states

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Unless congress tells the tranny to shut her fucking mouth, her first amendment rights are not being treaded on. Even Ann Coulter has said herself "They're [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment." But honestly I hope she keeps talking, she is doing us Democrats a HUGE favor. That's right honey just keep alienating the minorities, that’s a great way to win an election.

And yeah I used to call people "gay" when I was younger but I also listened to New Kids on the Block and had a perm but then you GROW UP!

85. This woman is ridiculous. The last time I saw her peddling her latest collection of drivel, she was insulting the wives of 09/11 victims, including how they dress like whores. This while perched on the edge of a chair in a too tight black mini-skirt. hahha. Whatever, hypocrite. Keep fooling yourself and your right wing followers. The rest of us can see what an arrogant, ignorant fool you are.

86. Again, it seems people need to be educated about the origins of this word. It may be a schoolyard taunt to some people, but it comes from the burning fire of Nazi hatred. Nazis tied suspected homosexuals (not just Jewish ones) into bundles (like 'faggots' of bundled wood) and burned them alive. It is sad that Coulter doesn't know her 'schoolyard taunt' is a Nazi term.

89. Freedom of speech only applies when you say it would have been better if Cheney had been blown up or that Bush sucks ass. No freedom of speech when it comes to using words that sensitive-americans are sensitive to.

90. Coulter was mild in what she said ,but if she told you how she really felt about all you pollyannas you would be cryin for the next hundred years. Coulter is an Icon.She will put you in your place every time you open your mouth about your life style. I will buy her book, I will pay to see her lectures, I will continue to support the Republicians, in other words you can win.
