Ann Coulter dropped from CPAC

[ck4829]

On February 7-9, conservatives from around the country will gather in Washington, D.C. for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). This year, one of the darlings of the far right’s oft-distasteful and unpleasant punditry will not be invited:

She’s always been outrageous, but when conservative Ann Coulter talked of 9/11 “rag heads” at the 2006 Conservative Political Action Conference and linked a homophobic slur to Sen. John Edwards in a 2007 speech, CPAC’s organizers decided to cut her from the list of speakers at the February 7-9 conference expected to draw 6,000.

1. or maybe because it's because she endorsed hillary

[Buzz Clik]

3. ... and marrying an illegal alien from Mexico didn't help.

[MidwestTransplant]

6. Really?

[Buzz Clik]

8. No, but she didn't really endorse Hillary, either.

[fenriswolf]

38. but what is true is she would rather

mcCain win then hillary.

[muriel_volestrangler]

2. Or they dropped her for supporting Clinton over McCain

When did they drop here - right after the 2007 speech, or just now?

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. Maybe they don't need a cheap hooker for "entertainment"

[liberal N proud]

5. Maybe her 15 minutes are up

[closeupready]

29. Not as long as we have people here willing to give her more free publicity.

:rofl: She probably laughs all the way to the bank at our expense, given how easy it is to manipulate people like us into talking about her. Seems like all she has to do is frown on broadcast TV and she has us talking and talking for days. :eyes:

[tanyev]

7. Aww. She won't get to wear that little black dress again.

14. WTF?

She's a vile person so she must be a transexual right?

Nice.

[Buzz Clik]

17. No. Geebus. Lighten up.

[yardwork]

25. Stop being an ass about this. You've been asked nicely many times.

It's not funny. It should be beneath you. It is beneath you.

[Buzz Clik]

28. I have no idea who you are or what you're talking about, but this pisses me off.

I am really sick and tired of every fucking splinter group on DU acting all offended whenever they detect anything that could even remotely interpreted as a slight against them. From Kucinich fans shitting themselves over every "gnome" joke to Christians to atheists to whatever your problem is.

Get over it. Get the fuck over it.

If you love Ann Coulter and are offended, I don't care. If you think I have no right to make transgender jokes, then get a sense of humor.

And don't explain it to me -- just go away.

[yardwork]

33. Another Obama supporter proves what an endearing "uniter" he is.

[Buzz Clik]

36. Pardon me for not kissing your ass.

[yardwork]

43. Tell your candidate that you won over more hearts and minds today.

[qb]

30. "transexual" and "transgender" are not slurs

any posts that treat them as such have no place in DU.
How long do racist jokes last around here, anyway?

[yardwork]

34. Apparently they are slurs to Obama supporters. No surprise, really.

Considering the respect with which the Obama campaign and Obama supporters treat gay people, it's not surprising to find that taunting transgendered people is part of their campaign platform as well.

[Buzz Clik]

37. I get it now. If I use a "t" word, it must include genuflecting and no hint of humor.

Damn, too many people taking themselves way too seriously. (what's new)

[Solon]

45. You are using it as an insult to Ann Coulter...

Insinuating that she is a transexual and that's why she's bitter and an asshole is an insult to transexuals. Its like saying: "That's so Gay" as a slam against something or what someone did. To be honest, you found the right candidate to support.

[hulklogan]

39. Should we be surprised that an Obama supporter can't treat the GLBT community with respect?

There's no way that dirty slimeball demon seed Ann Coultergeist should be associated with the transgender community.

[Buzz Clik]

40. Yet another humorless DUer checks in to express grouchiness.

How sad.

[hulklogan]

41. Yet another Obama worshiper insults LGBT Americans

That's really sad.

[yardwork]

42. Typical. It's why I now support Hillary.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Of Course She Will

It's all she ever wears. Morning, noon, night. That is even sleepwear to her.
The Professor

[Bake]

32. Yeah, but you love it. Admit it!

Tell the troof, Prof! And how exactly do YOU know what she sleeps in, pray tell?

:rofl:

Bake

[Cheap_Trick]

19. she always has it on

i think it's scabbed on.

[lpbk2713]

9. They know Coultergeist crossed the line a long time ago.

Political activism and hatemongering are distinctly different.

Obviously Coultergeist never picked up on that.

[MidwestTransplant]

11. They are just afraid she will rip McCain

[ReformedChris]

12. This screeching witch is running out of traction..

People get more and more disgusted watching her as time goes on. I personally feel she has some serious issues and will eventually have a Lee Atwater moment where she repents in the future. I don't think she's going to get any sympathy because she has torn down every moral bridge possible and all of the Faux News anchors that have ridden that body of bones will leave her on the side of the road where they found her.

[libodem]

15. I have to love your wording

welcome to DU.:hi:

[ReformedChris]

20. Thank You!

That woman, she has always been like nails on a chalkboard to me. As for tombstones, I don't think it will matter what's on it because it will be probably be covered with an odd urine stench and layers and layers of grafitti lambasting that hack.

[Buzz Clik]

18. Nicely phrased. Could all that fit on a tombstone?

[Buzz Clik]

21. Coulter's tombstone:

Ok. It doesn't fit.

[ReformedChris]

23. Along with Bush and Cheney, maybe we should put an eternal flame on top of an Oil Derrick..

on their respective tombstones to show what they brought to the world in life and how they made the world a lesser place.

[Buzz Clik]

27. I like that.

[Buzz Clik]

26. Ann Coulter's tombstone: the multipart series:

[libodem]

35. Love the tombstones

it's the best ever!

[gratuitous]

16. We can rule out a sudden surge of taste or sanity

So there must be some other reason CPAC is doing this.

[underpants]

22. Hey, does anyone else smell gin?

I think part of the reason they are shying away from this aren't just to soften their edges for McCain and Romney to come by, I sense that Ann is over the edge and the don't want her meltdown to come in front of their banner.

[Perry Logan]

24. I hope this won't make her bitter or anything.

[NeedleCast]

31. Nice!

I laughed.

[AlCzervik]

44. ewww, the guest list----

Join Invited Speakers & Panelists
Vice President Dick Cheney - Sean Hannity - Gov. Mitt Romney - Rudy Giuliani - Newt Gingrich - Gov. Mike Huckabee - Michelle Malkin - David Horowitz - Wayne LaPierre - David Keene - and many more!

[Quantess]

46. Oh, but THOSE republicans are SO delightful!

Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin are so sweet and charming unlike Coulter. :sarcasm:
