Glory!!! Coulter's hate speech earns money for Edwards

At least something good has come of this horror, named Ann Coulter.

I have never contributed to a political campaign in my life, but I will now, and apparently I am not alone. I am a cradle independent, but I will donate to Edwards' campaign.

I like John Edwards. I like his wife.

I believe, from everthing I have seen and heard, that they are two of the most decent people in the world of American politics. I believe that they mean what they say and mean what they say. I think that John has learned much since he left D.C. I don't think that Mrs. Edwards had much to learn. She is one of the most brilliant women I have ever listened to. Mr. Edwards is a lucky man and he is smart enough to know it. That is enough for me.

Perhaps, when the hate-mongers' speech backfires they will knock it the hell off, though I doubt it, because they make their living off hate; a sad thing indeed.

John and Elizabeth Edwards have done nothing to deserve the hate speech Coulter has spewed at them. Coulter will simply say anything for money. She is a hate-whore. She makes big bucks off hate speech.

This time, she has gone too far.

Actually, she went to far when she said that the 9/11 widows were only interested in making money and political gain off the deaths of their husbands. Has this "woman" ever loved anyone?

This time it will cost her beloved Rethug party.

Coulter's words help Edwards raise cash

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer


Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Wednesday that conservative author Ann Coulter's attacks are hurtful as his campaign used her remarks in an appeal for money.

Edwards made his first comments to The Associated Press in response to Coulter's suggestion that she wished he would be "killed in a terrorist assassination plot." His campaign cited her remarks in two e-mails to supporters for donations, with the fundraising deadline on Saturday.

It's not the first time Coulter has given the Edwards campaign a financial boost. In March, she called Edwards a "faggot" and the campaign used video of the comment to help raise $300,000 before the end of the first quarter.

In the e-mails, the campaign asked supporters to send donations to defy her remarks and help Edwards meet his goal of raising $9 million in the second quarter. The first e-mail from campaign adviser Joe Trippi showed a clip of Coulter on ABC's "Good Morning America," where she said Monday that she wished Edwards would be killed by terrorists.

When Coulter appeared Tuesday on MSNBC's "Hardball," Elizabeth Edwards called in to ask Coulter to stop making personal attacks on her husband. The exchanged deteriorated, with Coulter shouting over Mrs. Edwards and demanding that the campaign stop using her name to raise money if they want her to stop personal attacks. Response to the controversy was so large that it repeatedly crashed the server for MSNBC's political blog Wednesday.

Mrs. Edwards followed up with an e-mail to supporters Wednesday morning that included a clip of their exchange and a donation request. The campaign said they raised more money this week than from any previous e-mail campaign, but declined to give a total.

"I think when they engage in these attacks and use the language of hate, it's very important to stand up," Edwards said. "What happens if you are silent when this kind of hateful language is used — not just by her, but by anyone — hate gets a foothold."

Edwards pointed out that Coulter's attacks haven't been limited to him, but also included his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination. Coulter has made fun of Hillary Rodham Clinton's legs and compared Barack Obama to terrorists because his middle name is Hussein.

"What she said about Senator Clinton and Senator Obama is outrageous," Edwards said. "And somebody has to stand up when she makes these kind of attacks."
