"He dismissed Coulter, calling her “mean-spirited,” having no shame and being “crazy.” He defended his wife’s efforts to ask Coulter to drop her personal attacks, saying, “You have to stand up to them.”

“I don’t think has any shame; there’s no doubt about that,” Edwards said. “I think that's just the way she behaves. That's who she is. And I think that's a lot of what we see from these people who are just -- that are crazy.” (Actually he said they were "crazies")

..."MATTHEWS: Right. Well, what is your reaction to what you heard last night and heard today about what happened last night?

J. EDWARDS: I applaud Elizabeth. I think that when people like Ann Coulter -- and it's not just her, unfortunately, it's her and people just like her, Karl Rove and all those people. I mean, when they engage us in this kind of hatemongering, you have to stand up to them. You have to stand up to them. They start this fight, but we have to be willing to be strong and to fight back. Because if we don't, Chris, what happens is all the important things: men and women dying in Iraq, those who don't have health insurance, et cetera, their issues don't get heard. Instead, it's this -- it's this low-level dialogue with this name-calling, which is what we see."

..."MATTHEWS: Have you raised a great deal of money? There was a report today that you've had your best, most successful e-mail hitting back at Ann Coulter that you've (inaudible) so far?

J. EDWARDS: We are raising money. I don't know the numbers. I hope they go up. I hope we get more and more people who join us in this cause, because this is important.

MATTHEWS: Do you think people should buy Ann Coulter's books?

J. EDWARDS: No."

1. Thanks for this link

I'm more and more convinced he will be a great president!

[tired_old_fireman]

2. The guy on Hardball after Edwards was the biggest idiot I've seen in a long time.

He thought John Edwards literally had a bumpersticker on his car about his dead son. How is someone like that given so much air time? Talk about hate speech...

[Supersedeas]

3. Tweety is as much as simpleton low-life as Coulter

[calteacherguy]

4. Coulter is doing wonders for the Edwards campaign.

She's like a gift.

5. Please don't give MSNBC the traffic

6. Thanks...appreciated.

The MSNBC link is good for transcript though.

7. she mentioned DU on AAR during Bender filling in for Maddow

unfortunately, it was her saying that she came here to tamp down people here on DU who were saying tasteless things about Laura Ingram's battle with breast cancer...

8. She has posted here other times as well.

Not a very warm welcome sometimes for someone who was trying to initiate a conversation.

9. Edwards and Wife made a huge mistake

You don't engage with the likes of Ann Coulter when you want to become president.

If you want to respond to her, do it through a delegate of your campaign.

Don't get in the muck with the likes of Coulter.

[MalloyLiberal]

10. Oh bullshit. Thanks for campaigning for Obama and Clinton again

Seriously, where do you get off? Bullies need to be challenged. They cannot get a free ride.

[MalloyLiberal]

11. And by the way, it wasn't YOUR dead son who Coulter ridiculed

[MalloyLiberal]

12. And it wasn't YOU who Ann Coulter wishes was killed by terrorists

[MalloyLiberal]

13. And it wasn't you who she called a FAGGOT.

[MalloyLiberal]

14. So speak for your goddamn self

[bmbmd]

15. A novel approach to increasing your post count.

Kind of like a Burma-shave ad. Speaking for my goddamn self, I think this was a huge mistake and will come back to bite Senator Edwards in the backside. Time will tell.

[MalloyLiberal]

19. Oh bulls***. You'd say the opposite if it was Jesus Christ himself Barack Obama attacking Coulter

Now wouldn't you.

[Singular73]

16. You have issues.

Seriously, seek help.

[saracat]

17. Malloy Liberal doesn't need help. I liked the Burma Shave approach

and Malloy Liberal is exactly right.Elizabeth was correct to stand up to Coulter, and she was the one to do it as this time it was about her and her family.This was not only political but "personal.My God, Coulter wished the terrorists to assasinate John, is everyone just to smile and say :that wacky girl" ?

[MalloyLiberal]

21. Edwards also stood up for John Kerry, did you hear that Saracat?

[saracat]

22. About the swiftboaters? I heard him mention that.

[MalloyLiberal]

20. I don't tolerate bullies

Or people who try to use politics against someone who fights them off. If Obama was fighting her, I'm sure they'd be praising him and suddenly they would change their tune.

[snowbear]

18. He was just AWESOME on there today!!!

Loved the reviews afterwards by Donnie Deutch!

ROCK on Edwards!! You did GOOD !!!
