Edwards Calls Coulter 'She-Devil'

[CatWoman]

ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: Former Sen. John Edwards on Friday fired the latest round in his ongoing verbal feud with Ann Coulter, calling her a "she-devil" at a public event before quickly adding that he shouldn't engage in name-calling.

Edwards, D-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media -- including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh -- when he reminded a crowd in Burlington, Iowa, that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer.

"We know these people. We know their game plan. They're going to attack us personally," Edwards said. "They attacked Elizabeth personally, because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter. … I should not have name-called. But the truth is -- forget the names -- people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language."

In June, Coulter went on ABC's "Good Morning America" and said she had learned her lesson after being blasted for suggesting in a joke before the Conservative Political Action Conference that Edwards was a "faggot." "If I'm gonna say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot," Coulter said.

That prompted Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, to call in to MSNBC's "Hardball" and challenge Coulter directly. "I want to use the opportunity … to ask her politely to stop the personal attacks," Mrs. Edwards said.

The call left Coulter uncharacteristically flustered -- and was quickly turned into a fund-raising appeal by the Edwards campaign.

1. Ick all around.

She's a cruel, nasty, ideologically driven sycophant.

He would have sounded a lot more intelligent had he said that.

2. Bad, John. Bad. You should know better.

And yet, somehow I'll get over it. :)

3. She???? Does he know something the rest of us don't? n/t

4. Bad move

I'm sure his emotions overtook him.

But why legitimize Ms. Coulter by not only acknowledging her but also engaging in her discourse?

5. And I'm sure Coultergeist loves the attention. Bad move. NT

6. Truly a slur on She-Devils everywhere

7. This is too bad

John Edwards is my man. I even sent him cash because I want him to be president that bad, but this is a transparent attempt to inject some momentum into his campaign. It sucks that he just hasn't caught on especially with the mainstream media, but he can only get so much mileage out of attacking Anne Coulter. Like they say, when you wrestle with a pig, you only get dirty (people say that, right?) It's sad to watch someone that would be a great president have to sink to these desperate tactics.

8. Or, don't get into a pissing contest with a skunk.

9. Yeah, another screw-up by Edwards.

Mentioning her only gives her more of a spot light which she basks in. I feel that she is actually a Satire Comedian albeit not that humorous.

10. John should apologize to all She Devils

11. Cut him some slack

We all tend to get emotional when it comes to people hurting those we love. She-devil is pretty mild when it comes to that he/she bitch!
