Ann Coulter made news at CPAC with this statement:
“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.'”

Now, many conservatives have criticized Coulter in the past because her over the top rhetoric and anorexic body makes hers quite literally a straw man for the left, and one has to ask, “Has Ann Coulter finally gone too far?” At least, that’s what the faggots are asking.
Isn’t it finally great to be using that word in political discourse? I, for one, congratulate Coulter for breaking that shibboleth that has remained intact for far too long. If conservatives are to gain respect in thus country, then we can’t be afraid to constantly label people faggots. So, why have so many conservatives condemned Coulter’s remarks? One can only assume they wish to silence her since they’re afraid they’ll be the next ones she’ll rightly label a faggot.
With all this controversy, I have to ask what happened to the great rhetorical conservatives of old? Remember the final words of the Lincoln Douglas debates of 1858:
“I have said and I repeat it here, that if there be a man amongst us who does not think that the institution of slavery is wrong in any one of the aspects of which I have spoken, he is misplaced and ought not to be with us. Has anything ever threatened the existence of this Union save and except this very institution of slavery? That is the real issue. It is the eternal struggle between these two principles — right and wrong — throughout the world, and just something I wouldn’t expect that faggot Douglas to understand.”

Can you imagine his closing without the word “faggot”? It would be dull and lifeless. Sure, the controversy from that line most likely cost Abraham Lincoln the Senate seat, but his fame later carried him to the White House where he used his power to kill many Southerners — something I would think the left could get behind.
I really don’t see how any thinking person can debate the use of that word in every day speech. In fact, I see no room whatsoever for disagreement on this subject. I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and on my side is written the word “faggot.” Either you’re for constantly calling people faggots or you’re no longer welcome to blog or comment here on IMAO.
And that’s all there is to say about this.
You’ve managed to mock several different things in one post. Well done.
Would that be a straight line?
Wild Bill, this is Frank J. of IMAO we’re talking about – very little about him could be classified as “straight”. Besides, we’ve all seen his drawing skills.
Well said, faggot.
Wild Bill, the NCTM Standards now require 10% of all lines to be gay lines and condemn the use of the term “straight line” in geometry as it is offensive to the GLBT community.
This post is so gay.
Frank J can only speak with authority on what he knows first hand…and Frank knows the gay! LOL
I may not agree with what you faggots say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
What’s the big deal about Ann comparing the Breck Girl to a bundle of sticks (a “faggot”)? They both have approximately the same I.Q. (the Breck Girl and the faggot, that is), and I, for one, would certainly enjoy seeing a demonstration of which burns longer when soaked in gasoline and set on fire. I just don’t understand all of this whining….
The word faggot is not a protected word, and can never be granted such status, because the letter F has already been associated with another word. Unfortunately the letters N and F are already assigned – appropriately claimed by the “N-word” and the already long-established “F-word”. So, all are free to say faggot.
Polite Conservatives have rightly stood up against such language. Now can we please nuke these wimps and cleanse the population of the weaklings!
There’s a reason the meek shall inherit the earth. While the rest of you are fighting about whose the bigger “faggot” the rest of us will just slip on in and take over.
Seriously there are so many other more important things to fight about.
Like the word articulate, which I know many people don’t even know the meaning of, but applied to say Blacks or Rednecks can be considered very condescending. (at least by those who aren’t articulate)
Then there’s the word Liberal, which everyone seems to think has become a new obscenity ( it’s been that way for a while but I for one am glad to see more people jumping on the band wagon).
American seems like another word that some people think should be banned. Of course most of them live in countries that can’t even create a septic system for removing human waste from their cities, so what do they know. There are those who feel similarly in this country, who should be invited to join with their compatriots in said septic-challenged areas. (Babs swimming in waste- there’s a picture that warms the Cockels of ones heart.)
The sad part about the faggots is that they do not realize that things take time, and progress is taken one step at a time.
Recognizing them in public took more than two centuries. Legitimizing the lifestyle should probably take at least that long too. Therefore, they should keep it to themselves, until nearing that next step.

I just recently saw an old Kirkian episode of Star Trek where Lt Ohura told Abe Lincoln that in the future people were sensible enough not to fear words anymore.
sigh Gene, you were such a dork…
This really sounds more like an actiony ACTION ALERT to me.
Should we now refer to it as “The Faggot Pride Day Parade”?
Frank, My daddy taught me to say “Sperm Burper”, and, gosh darn it, that’s the phrase I’ma stickin to!!
How ’bout “fluffer”? It sounds kinda cuddly anyway.
a fluffer is more a person who gets a person ready for a performance weather it be over excited or wound down thoe he or she could be a faggot its not nesisary.
So’s your face!
Buuuuurn!
I prefer the Pythonesque “lisping, prancing gay bar loiterer, corrupter of innocent little boys”.
