Howard Dean Demands GOP Candidates Denounce Ann Coulter for Referring to John Edwards as a 'Faggot' Democratic Party boss Howard Dean demanded that Republican presidential candidates denounce conservative columnist Ann Coulter after she referred to Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards as a "faggot" during a speech Friday at a national conservative gathering.
Coulter, who was addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., said:
"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word "faggot," so I so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards."
Members of the audience seemed startled, then many clapped, and she proceeded to open the floor to questions, reported http://EditorandPublisher.com
After her comments, Dean issued a press release expressing his outrage. Dean called Coulters remarks "hate-filled and bigoted."
While Democrats and Republicans may disagree on the issues, we should all be able to agree that this kind of vile rhetoric is out of bounds. The American people want a serious, thoughtful debate of the issues, the press release read.
