I LOVE ANN COULTER!!!! She is smart, funny, beautiful and absolutely correct. I just love how she gets to you libs! She's my HERO!!

I think this is great ... those leaping on the bandwagon for Elizabeth Edwards, supporting an honorable "stop the personal attacks" (which I support) and, in the same breath, launching into one of their own on Anne Coulter (her appearance, etc.). I don't hear the same when you same folks personally attack our President – why the double standard?

Ya can't have it both ways, folks!

I'm not a huge Coulter fan, but we certainly need her unique though consistent perspective. And we need people like her, who can point out the hypocrisy and idiocy (on both sides) that is a part of every campaign and within these forums. She just may be too high brow for her critics, who either can't understand or appreciate her points of comaprison. I think her against-the-grain perspective beautifully contrasts some of those self-righteous few, who readily wrap themselves in free speech to denigrate our Commander-in-Chief, our on-going warfighting efforts, and our national will to win though steadfastly claim themselves as "patriots." Why can't they now tolerate a little of that same patriotism?

Long live Anne and those like her … on both sides. And to those fuming – try not to take any of them too seriously. Get outside and live a good life.

Thanks and God Bless America!

I think ultra conservative Michael Savage was right on the mark when he said Anne Coulter was the Paris Hilton of the right. One of the few times I agree with him.

Why would people even refer to this woman as intelligent? If you have to resort to calling someone a "faggot" to get your point across, you are definitely not intelligent enough to come up with a valid criticism

Coulter is the political version of Marilyn Manson. Only difference is that he had better make-up, and conservatives don't burn her books.

I would like to take this opportunity to say that I'm very impressed with modern conservatives for their tolerance of alternative lifestyles. Though they are often and incorrectly percieved as dogmatic in the enforcement of unrealistic or fantastical morality, in fact the reality is quite the opposite. When has the liberal elite ever paid so much attention or drooled with delight over the views of a transgendered person? Yo AC, assuming that you are post-op, you go girl!

"Talking about their personal tragedy is working thru the process of losing a loved one." That's true, but a presidential campaign is not group therapy and should not be used as such. Therapeutic discussion should be reserved for a more appropriate venue.

That's what opinion editorial columnists do – express their opinions. That's the foundation of America – the privilege to express our opinions, as many of us have done here. Ann's opinions are shared by a lot of people in this country who don't have a venue from which to air them. Ann did not attack Edwards and the loss of a child does not exempt one from criticism. Ann criticized Edwards for using his son's death to generate sympathy as political support – which is obviously his major strategy since he is using sympathy over being criticized by Ann to increase his donations. The man is a manipulator and not very stable emotionally, if not borderline sociopathic. But that's just my opinion based on gut instinct. How does one person's opinion inhibit conversation? Obviously that hasn't been the case on this site. The constitutional protection of political speech, especially at the grass roots level, is vital to the survival of American democracy. Ann Coulter has the right to express her opinions publically the same as you and I.

Ann Coulter is the most hateful woman.
I can't stand her.
I don't think that anybody likes her.
Everytime she opens her mouth,only poison comes out of her mouth.

Who is Ann Coulter? A comedian, a political commentator????? Whatever, why don't you contribute a solution instead of name calling and YOUR opinions. If you are so smart and can see how others are wrong , jump into the arena and help provide solutions to the American people.

My posting from Tuesday was also removed. I opined that anyone who depends on Coulter or Maher to form or influence their political stances should not be allowed to vote. Both are hateful, intolerant and mean-spirited.

Not sure if this posting was deemed offensive in some way?

WOW! My previous posting, which was the first one of today, was REMOVED??? WHY??? Don't you think this audience is sophisticated enough to get the humor and irony of what I wrote? Much as I dislike Ms. Coulter, maybe this is evidence that she has a point. Perhaps hyper-sensitive people DO need to get a grip. Censorship by our so-called guardians of the first amendment...unbelievable. Perhaps I didn't spell enough words incorrectly?

I find it hard to believe that anyone whether it be Ann Coulter or John Maher would say joking or not that they wished someone was killed. If people want to know why things are like they are then they need to READ THE BIBLE and see that we have started to see God's Wrath on America. Floods, Fires, Katrina, and it will only get worse until the American people start running this country once again as it was started with IN GOD WE TRUST. Look at St. Matthew Chapter 12 Verse 36 and 37.

Thanks
Sharon Evans

Ann Coulter is the lowest of the low...anyone who would attack someone that's lost a child needs to "walk in that person's shoes for just one day"...Elizabeth Edwards had every right to call Coulter on such a low blow...and then for Coulter to say they exploit it...My God, this woman is really a "sicko"!!! I see you edit
whatever is deemed inappropriate on this blog....maybe you should start doing the same with Coulter when you interviewed her...she is definitely
inappropriate....I know the pain of losing a child as i lost my son....Had it been me on the phone to this woman I would not have been as kind!!! Coulter needs to be put in her place....and anyone who can agree with what she said about the Edward's son needs to walk in her shoes!!!

Ann Coulter needs to be harnessed in the same way Don Imus was. Her language and cutting remarks are just as insulting as his were. Anyone who hires her or allows her to speak on their programs are just as guilty.

Good for Elizabeth Edwards!
Ann Coulter is a smug self rightous individual. I do not know who appointed her an expert on anything.
Her one sided comments inhibit conversation.
I say, let's raise the bar to intelligent dialogue and debate.

I emailed Chris Matthews at MSNBC and I will type the same to CNN as I typed to him. Ann Coulter should never wish or state anything about wishing any person, let alone John Edwards, to be killed in a terrorist attack. You might as well say others would die at the hand of terrorist. After what our country went through during 911 and what we are fighting for in Iraq, Ann Coulter should apologize to the Edwards family first of all. She is the one making money off the comments she made towards the Edwards family. She is a mean spirited person and does not deserve to be in the media. If Imus is taken off the air for his comments, then no broadcast should invite her back to state her absurd opinons. I know I will never watch any broadcast that has her on the air.

Although I am a Republican, voted for President Bush and continue to support his policies, I was extremely impressed with John Edwards during our last Presidential Election. I am equally impressed with Mrs. Edwards. Her courage and conviction are amazing. Since I was born and raised in the south, my opinion concerning Ann Coulter is this: She is not a Lady
and HAS NO CLASS–and her tone and use of words DOES promote hate and racism!

It's interesting that the article doesn't mention that Maher's comments were actually just reiterating the hypothetical that some OTHER person had suggested; he didn't actually wish that Cheney were dead. I thought journalism articles were supposed to contain the COMPLETE set of facts on the substance of the article. When the article notes that "[Coulter] claimed..." it should have also pointed out what ACTUALLY was the case so as to present an actual piece of journalism; left as is the article is slanted to favor the slanderous comment from Coulter.

Once again Ann Coulter demonstrates how ignorant and insensitive she is with regards to the Edwards personal loss. Talking about their personal tragedy is working thru the process of losing a loved one. She is mean spirited and doesnt deserve any air time. Too bad she doesnt put her intelligence toward positive comments and writings. How did Ann ever get so negative and hateful?? Maybe someone should offer to pay for anger management classes. Hooray for Mrs Edwards standing up to this idiot!

I am no fan of Ann Coulter, but the stink Ms Edwards and the media is making is rediculous and out of context of Coulter's comments. CNN and the media in general, again, have taken one line out of context and run with it, missing the meaning of the entire statement. The media's job is to report, not to manipulate. We get enough of this from politicians. Where has journalistic integrity gone?

The United States is in a difficult time in our history. Politics has the country very divided on individual opinions and issues that are trying to control others lives. I think the American people in time will work through these issue and learn greater respect for others views. What this country first needs to come to grips with is the likes of people like Ann Coulter. This woman is very much crazy just like John Edwards said, and I don’t even support John Edwards. Coulter is a hate monger and has nothing to offer this country but discord. It is unfortunate that the ratings of Hardball are so low that Chris Mathews finds it necessary to give her an hour of his show. I think MSNBC needs to rethink how they can regain their viewers. The less we give Coulter primetime to talk the better it will be for this nation.

As the mother of a teenager who lost her life in an automobile accident, I completely understand Elizabeth Edwards' confrontation to Coulter. Losing a child is the most devastating thing that could happen to a parent. It is something that I would not wish to happen to anyone, even cold, mean-spirited, limelight-hunting people like Ann Coulter. Both political parties and the news media should stop putting any credibility to anthing that comers out of her mouth

In the interests of disclosure, I do not support John Edwards candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President in '08. However, the recent exchange between Elizabeth Edwards and Ann Coulter on MSNBC was one of the most important dialogues the media has shown in years. It crystallizes the unfortunate level to which political discourse has sunk in recent times. Independent of whether one's leanings are right wing or left, conservative or liberal, Coulter's venomous attacks on political leaders, candidates and their families has relegated political discussion to a level that few bother to consider.
Watch Coulter's body language and incessant brushing back of her hair during the interview with Edwards and Chris Matthews. It is obvious that the discussion struck a chord which she would prefer to avoid. Her retorts to the allegations of vicious attacks on Edwards and even his deceased son were evasive as she merely sought to alter the dicussion to the unrelated topic of fundraising speeches. It was especially disconcerting that many of the young audience at the interview enjoyed her comments and seemed to adopt her inconsiderate negativity even when the topic was the death of
Edwards' child.
Hopefully, the media will further publicize the exchange between Elizabeth Edwards and Anne Coulter and make it more than a one day topic of discussion. Analysis of the level to which Coulter has taken political commentary merits more dialogue and debate than the duration of incarceration for Paris Hilton.

Once you liberals demand Bill Maher to shut his mouth, you can demand the same from Anne. Until then you are the ones that should just shut up.

Please, CNN, please, please run more of Ann's wacky antics! I can't wait to see what she'll do next! I'm absolutely hooked!

Judging by the comments here, if you just keep showing us more Coulter, she'll help the Republican party be as popular as Paris Hilton next November, and just as likely to be elected president!

Oh for pity's sake, all you john and elizabeth edwards loving people out there – get a clue. Coulter is doing nothing more than what john and elizabeth have been doing since they lost the first time. And how selfish is he – knowing his wife has cancer but yet he MUST rescue america by running for president. People out there,I hear you yakking and chastising Coulter, yet you applaud when it comes from the left. There is just too much hatred coming from both parties. I understand why Coulter did what she did – you guys can rant and rave but the right cannot? Sorry, John and Elizabeth – daddy can't buy you the presidency.

Yet again, Ann Coulter prooves to be a despicable woman. It pains me to read that she is a best selling author. She is a mean spirited, hateful individual. She has come out with some of the nastiest comments and somehow gets away with it. Is this what the Republicans and conservatives alike want as a representative of their party? There are such important issues needed to be addressed in this upcoming election. Find someone better to represent your views and your party!

she should be asked "and what is your solution?" wonder if she has one.

Ms. Coulter is irrelevant for any meaningful proper discussion on any subject now. Her mouth and her mind are full of hate and disgust and she has no business, let alone credit as a legitmate professional. No one with any creditbility says things like she did against anyway. John Edwards wins, she loses. Enough said.

Please stop giving Coulter any airtime at all. She is hateful and her statements are not always based in truth. She does not deserve ANY media time at all. She has absolutely nothing to offer and I do not (and a lot of people I know) read/watch anything that includes her. Thank you.

Anne Coulter, while always acting despicable, has done nothing except to 'increase fundraising' for John Edwards' presidential campaign. Every time she makes an insult, is a plus, not only for Edwards, but for the Democratic party as well. Keep up the good work anne, maybe you'll be able to help fund the the Democratic national convention for 2008!

Each and every comment against Ann is ad hom. and amusing commentary on the liberal mind. Conservatives have been accused of merely attacking the 'idea men' for generations. Why not when what we see is a continual drift toward Ponzi scheme socialism as in England where 50 percent now receive government checks. Much of what passes for compassion among the left is unproven over time and often down right harmful. Example.. The war on poverty may have destroyed more poor families than it helped.

Ann coulter is mentally ill. I wish she would be put on an mood stabalizer so that her hostility and irritability is decreased. The poor woman is sick and needs help!!!!!

I don't personally like or agree with a good chunk of what Ann Coulter says, but people, please do your research on John Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards. I am originally from NC, and he has done very little for the state in recent memory, especially when he was our Senator. He used his Senate race to catapult his Presidential campaign as far back as '97. This guy is an opportunist in the worst way. The News and Observer, the local paper in Raleigh, NC, did a piece on his poverty institute which was little more than a tax shelter for his presidential campaign.

I am throwing my support behind Barack Obama as I feel like he does his research about the issues , will work with both parties to achieve great things, and is not so motivated by the glamour and prestige of the Presidency or feels that he is owed this honor.

As stated in the article, no one seemed to care when Maher said VP Cheney should be killed. Mrs. Edwards did not care. The media did not care. So why now, and why not last march?

We all know why...because Maher is a liberal, left leaning, anti-Bushie. If you fall into that category you can say anything you want w/o repercussion.

If Maher can say it, so to can Coulter. Get over it Edwards camp and stop profitting from it! Your side has Michael Moore, we have Coulter. Overall the points she makes are far more intelligent than Moore and filled with fact, not lies.

That being said, I think her tone is a bit harsh.

Ann Coulter is like a child screaming "look at me, look at me". You have to look the first time but after that she actually has to say or do something interesting. Continuosly screaming only makes one want to tell her to quit screaming her granfoollenry.

Maybe Ann Coulter will start "raising" the political dialogue when politians start deserving it.

I personally don't like John Edwards, but I think that Anne Coulter has a lot of issues. She criticizes people for the way they look; I think that she needs to make fun of her ugly ears. She dresses like a whore, and that shows the lack of self confidence. I have never seen Ann wearing any modest clothes. All her clothes are beyond revealing. Ann needs to stop the name calling.
I have been trying to teach my 6 years old daughter to not call people bad names, but I think that Ann can benefit from some discipline as well.

Give me a break! How much more of this hypocrital bologna do these guys think we are going to believe? The caustic and acerbic comments that continue to flow from the Democrats about anyone who does not believe like them is absurd. Infrequently can the Democrats debate intelligently (because they bring few ideas to the table) without reverting to name calling, i.e. moron, racist, etc. When Coulter does the same thing you are terribly offended and lump everyone who does not agree with you into the same group. Save it for someone else. Most everyone with good common sense and a conscience is not buying it.

Ann Coulter admitted to "outing" CIA operative Valerie Palme, not Scooter Libby. When asked why she outted Valerie Palme, Coulter replied," I hate smart blondes, they give us a bad reputation!"

Ann Coulter you are insulting, hateful, and un-American What goes around, comes around! So, watch it. You will soon disappear into oblivion. It is people like you that don't deserve to be heard or talked about. You are a total disgrace!

Blame the loser Republican media for keeping this classless and stupid dog around. She presents NO facts or meaningful insight and is totally irrelevent. Buy her books and prove how lost you are.

The only thing more disgusting than Anne speaking (and being allowed to speak such hatred and venom) is the new industry that allows it because of people that love to see the number of people it attracts to their broadcasts. Anne won't stop talking and CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC won't stop reporting it. Similar to asking for a new voice in government and getting 18 politicians. Like we trust that voice.

Ann Coulter is the tantamout example of a tormented, lying Republican stool pidgeon!! The only word to best describe her is " Cee U Next Tuesday"!! She is desperate to keep her booksales going, as rumours have it she is bleeding money!! Any person that would say what she says about ANY politican, Republican or Democrat, has absolutely no intrinsic value and may as well be dead!! CNN, let her some real news! Not more Ann Coulter or Paris Hilton, who I equate on the same level! NEWSLESS!

Ann Coulter is the very nature of republican politics. She runs the kind of sleaze Karl (the Coward) Rove uses. Throw it against the wall and see what sticks. Now Coulter, Rove, Chaney, Bush and others are basically whats wrong with America, they can get the white racist rednecks riled up by just using the buzz words. Its too back these white cowards can't put their bodies where their mouths are.

Coulter is a loose, misfiring cannon.

How can anyone raise the level of political discourse with the likes of a mule's cousin such Ms. Coulter?

networks keep pinging Ann for tidbits because she gets 440 replies to an article about her posted about 3 hours ago

don't worry about it though...I'm sure we can find a Paris Hilton story to help us feel more in touch with real America...Is Nancy Grace/Larry King/PT Barnum on yet? Can anyone recommend an actual news network anymore anyway?

Political parties aside, Coulter is an utter disgrace. Just as one thinks she cannot stoop any lower, she outdoes herself. She is a bottom feeder as an individual and "journalist." I am utterly appalled.
Thank you.

Anne Coultier has no class! She is speaking about Mr. and Mrs. Edward's son who passed away, not to mention her racist remarks about gays...she ought to be ashamed of herself!

I agree with you Clint...

"Wow. You didn’t even have to mention that Coulter had previously called Edwards a “fa**ot” and that in 2003, she wrote in her column that he drove around with a bumper sticker saying “Ask me about my son’s death in a horrific car accident.” She is the perfect example of a hate-filled conservative hack. No different than Rush, Hannity or the lot of them — The true faces of the Republican Party."

Ann Coulter only speaks to attract attention to her otherwise meaningless existence.

watch the whole video, the quote is taken out of context. she is showing a double standard with the terrorist quote. although she is a nut.

the terrorist quote is taken out of context...watch the whole video, she is merely stating a double standard where edwards comments on a terrorist plot against cheney. GET YOUR NEWS FROM MORE THAN ONE SOURCE !!!!

It's difficult to believe that a hate-monger can help any process. Coulter is clever enough to use hate, "I wish he had been killed by a terrorist assassin" is NOT a love note, to increase her wealth. Then she claims she has the right to say it. Hate is hate, and its value to society is nil.

Ann Coulter is an abomination. Full of herself, distilling hate and meanness. She is one of the biggest contributors in the culture of meanness that pervades our society today. Kudoos for Elizabeth Edwards to call attention to Coulter's unacceptable spewing of negativity and meanness. She is truly the Queen of Meanness.

I love Ann and hate The Edwards, I day what's wrong with free speech. If Mrs. Edwards doesn't like it don't listen. You go Ann!

Wow, I am no fan of Edwards and I understand political feuding but Ann Coulter always seems to take it too far. I think its people like her that turn me off to the current state of politics. I just hope she doesn't get more airtime.

It also makes me wonder who is married to Ann Coulter ...could you imagine being that person?

Ann Coulter, who will say anything to be noticed, is nothing more than modern journalism's "Chicken Little".

Regardless of politics, Ann Coulter is a complete joke. She adds nothing of use or importance to the national dialogue. Instead of finding solutions to important problems, Coulter goes on national TV and radio shows to point out America's flaws in the most vile, vitriolic manner. Her only motivation is convincing enough people to buy her poorly written, ill-researched books so that she may continue with the lavish lifestyle she is accustomed to. Ann Coulter doesn't spew her hatred out of concern for this country or common Americans, her motivation is strictly related to dollar signs. Let's leave the important issues to those with the grace and intelligence to work towards common goals, Democrat and Republic alike.

i love that the edwards campaign is making money off of coulter. they saw an opportunity to earn campaign funds and they ran with it. they would have been foolish not to do so.
i loved ann's face on hardball when elizabeth called in. i'm sure she gets a good tounge lashing often from the often decent people she attacks, but finally, a confrontation that i got to see. my hope is that especially in light of her "wishing edwards died in a terrorist attack" comment, that people will STOP BUYING HER BOOKS!

The most important part of this exchange was not if Coulter had the right to say horrible things, or if the Edwards deserved them. The important point that Elizabeth Edwards makes is that the kind of slander and vitrol that Coulter and her ilk (on both sides of the political aisle) engage in make many thoughtful, intelligent people disengage from the political process. Coulter and company make the average American disgusted and make our political landscape a freakshow. Edwards is totally right on this point whether you like her politics or not.

Again you can see the liberal media, up play sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards. Coulter made solid points that were neglected to be printed here, why??? It is the same story over and over again. Linerals can have free speech, but not conservatives? Lately we hear more from Mrs. Edwards than Mr. Edwards... maybe if he was ill, then he would use that card as well? We all feel for Mrs. Edwards and we all pray for her recovery, however I detest her and her husband's campaign to benefit from it with sympathy votes.

Ann Coulter fears John Edwards as the most threatening condidate the Democrats have on the auction block.

When something threatens her sense of well-being in the force (When her emporers kingdom is under attack) she immediatley responds with vile comments, insulting jibes and offensive name-calling. She is the poster child for how the RNC reacts to any threat to their supremecy. When under threat, they send her out to rile their base and misdirect their opposition.
Listening to Coulter is the equivelant of responding to a childs temper tantrum with candy and a toy.
The only one stupider than her are those who follow her and those who allow their attention to be diverted by her Vic McMahon wrestling ring circus act.

if you have a legitimate political comment, make it. If not, go back to the coffee shop you came from and keep lobbying for us hard working attorneys and bankers to give our money to the crack heads and homeless who are littering the streets of our cities instead of getting sober, or jobs.

Edwards has to use his wife to defend him...? Great....thats who I want to be Prez. He going to send her to talk to people when he has issues with them...?

As a registered Republican I am offended and outraged that major networks allow Ann Coulter on their shows. She is rude and obnoxious. The best way to shut her up is to ban her and not buy her books. She is offensive and I agree, who cares what she has to say. What makes her the expert? She certainly does not deserve to be taken seriously by anyone who has any brains. Anderson, PLEASE keep her off your show.

Chill out Mrs. Edwards. When you are a candidate, then we will worry about you. Until then, allow politics to be politics and honestly your opinion is both unwarranted and definitely not respected. Ms. Coulter – do your thing, at least someone has a mind of their own and some b...s to come forward with their opinion!

Aren't Ann Coulter's 15 minutes of fame up yet? I guess I should get in to inflammatory political commentator business. It's apparently very lucrative, and you don't have to know anything about anything. Just spout out baseless crap with no knowledge of the subject matter, whatever comes to mind, and someone, somewhere, will buy it and rally behind it as if it's God's honest truth. (Oh, sorry, I guess Democrats and liberals and anyone with a brain don't believe in God, according to Coulter).

give me a break. Chill out Mrs. Edwards. When you are a candidate we will worry about you. Until then, tell you husband to deal with all that he has asked for by being a presidential candidate. welcome to the real world.

Finally someone confronted Coulter! I'm just surprised that anyone really listens to a word she says. She's basically an uneducated person.

Your headline is incorrect. Liz did not "TELL" ANN, she "ASKED" Ann to please stop with her personal attacks. But it's ok being as the headline comes from the Liberals main mouth piece.

Ann Coulter is a negative attention seeking ..... ! How I wish some positive news would make it to airtime. If I never see this woman's name in print again that would be a good thing.

i watched the conversation. i was beyond disgusted. what a sorry woman couter is. if i were married to her, divorce would be. if i were her father, i'd disown her. as for chris matthews, i'm no longer interested in watching his program. time to tune in cnn instead.

While Miss Coulter denied having said anything about Edwards the day before.
We all seem to be missing the fact that his children have now heard some woman on national tv wish their father was dead. Maybe it's just me but I think my children would be devestated if they heard that.

I think we all know that Ann Coulter is a sick and slick minded lawyer. That's established. What I am concerned about is the reasoning behind MSNBC putting her on. This country needs a sound political dialogue with both sides trying to create some kind of positive goodwill in Washington. Ann Coulter does not help this situation. Maybe MSNBC's ratings are failing and they needed this to help pay the bills. Whatever the reason, they need to be scrutinized by the FCC and perhaps have their license revoked. Their license is suppose to be beneficial to the public.I don't see how this is beneficial.

Maybe if we ignore her she will go away. She is a distraction from the real conversation and an emberassment to her party.

cuckoo,cuckoo,cuckoo...Miss Nut job Ann will end up doing the killing herself- she has all the signs of a violent person – and unhappy too..and i am a conservative too...she is the equal nut job of the Dems Rev's...

Just like Paris Hilton, If Ann Coulter was not a blond hair, blue eyed woman no one would pay attention to her.

Why give Coulter any kind of recognition? Elizabeth Edward good-hearted intentions should have been put to better use than tangling with that (Coulter) dumb, white, trailer trash.

Ann Coulter is a mean, vindictive, spiteful person. Maybe you could quit inteviewing her so we wouldn't have to listen to her hateful words anymore. Thanks!

Ann Coulter is the latest germ to infect the progress being made by potential presidential candidates. Her silly rhetoric should be attacked and deleted. Her credibility will sink rapidly.

I hate Anne Coulter and am suprised no one has kicked her skinny blonde ass. I'd love to get in a room with her just one time.

I am for the death penalty, I don't particularly like paying high taxes, I would say I'm a fiscal conservative but have an understanding of costs involving society i.e education, health care, roads, emergency services etc... But Anne, you just confirmed my democratic vote for the next presidential election. I will in NO way shape or form ever be aligned with you on anything. You need therapy honey!!!

What a set up. Mrs. Edwards just happens to be watching Hardball and then calls in. This is a typical left wing stunt. Why won't Edwards come on FOX? Because he won't get a 'scripted' play-book like Mrs. Edwards did on MSNBC. What a joke.

I must say that it amazes me that a self appointed big mouth like COulter who trades in cheap shots and sensationalism warrants any attention at all.

I have to believe that is what she thrives on – attention.

we should just ignore her just as she ignores reasoned debate and fact based discourse.

Booooooo Coulter!

Ann Coulter seems to be a very angry and lonely person. All she has time to do is lash out against people and make ugly remarks. I'm not sure what she expects to gain, Certainly not respect.

After watching Ann's exchange with Mrs. Edwards, I think the root of all this animosity is that Ann is just jealous the Edwards. Their marriage, children, and devotion to each other. It is that simple. Ever wonder why there is no Mr Coulter? I don't.

I often wonder what Ann has to hide that she is so agressive and and perfect at the same time. Is she a female impersonator? Nobody is that good. Most of the difference between Republicans and the rest of the world is they SAY they are better. The rest of us just be human BUT what is the truth about Ann?

Someone ,PLEASE, buy her a hamburger!

People like Ann Coulter have not place on our airwaves. She is indeed a mean spirited "pseudo intellectual" who constantly spits venom. I do not think she helps the Republican cause at all and find her to possibly be "crazy".

I don't understand why the networks keeps asking this woman for her view point. You can tell she is a low life and have no business giving her views!!!!!

What does it say about the media and America when we elevate unimportant individuals such as Ann Coulter and Paris Hilton, as if they've accomplished something big? Why do we place such importance on such unimportant people? If Ann Coulter or Paris Hilton were creating some cure for cancer, then let's elevate their status. But neither have accomplished anything but the craving and receiving of attention!!

Clearly, Coulter belongs in the "is she still being taken seriously?" category, but why on earth does CNN find it ok to use the term “a faggot” in this report? Would CNN use the "n" word? I think not.

What a terrible woman. It sickens me to know that people actually support her behavior. She's so childish. Grow up Ann! Give us something more intelligent, please! Attack Mr. Edwards' platform, not is personal life. Get a grip and get professional.

You would think Ann C would be truly delighted that
the wife of a candidate would respond to her dialogue.
That a woman/wife of a candidate had the "cajones" to
use an Ann C. descriptive adjective........to answer on her
very own, thoughts that would profer idealistic thinking.

Why Ann C. has to use the shock strategy to inject her
prowess is tiring, frankly.

How brave of elizabeth edwards to take on a tiger.
Recall Hillary Clinton and her "stand by my man" posture???
How refreshing for a woman, a candidate's wife to
view her ideas and her moderations.
Ann C. should be content that she stirred the woodpile
and got a response from a woman instead of a
"Stepford" wife.......claire bannerman

Ann Coulter is a disgusting excuse for a human being. My, what a legacy; something to be proud of. It's a good thing no one cares about decency any more. And I am not a supporter of Mr. Edwards. Does this woman have any shame? I can only imagine what demons drive her. For once I'd like to hear a responsible conservative say 'enough' to her face.

Regardless of your politics, Republican, Democrat, or something else, it is offensive to wish that anyone be killed in a terrorist plot. Mainstream media needs to take some responsibility and stop providing a forum for Coulter to spout such hatred. She is an embarrassment to all Americans.

There must be something terribly wrong when the mainstream media lets this woman rant on. No more tuning in to Good Morning America. Whether or not you agree with John Edwards' politics, it is a disgrace for Coulter to be given any airtime to carry out such personal attacks. There are plenty of others who can legitimately articulate the ultra-conservative viewpoint without picking on a candidate, his family or their terrible personal loss. Elizabeth and John Edwards have my full support and sympathy.

Coulter has made my life somewhat easier considering how large her conservative audience is, I can only assume the hate she spouts for other American citizens is equally widespread. This independent voter won't be voting for a "conservative" candidate for any office (including dog catcher) for a very long time.

Coulter and her ilk will disappear when their Republican handlers are out of office – and the pendulum will swing again, as it always does. Ann will disappear, as did a certain smarmy Senator many years ago when he was asked if he had no shame – only to be replaced by other hate-mongering hacks the next time Republican handlers are in charge. If they keep us arguing with each other, and hating each other over issues THEY create – then they have successfully divided and conquered the people who elected them to office.

Why would anyone care anything about what Ann Coulter has to say??? Ann Coulter is a viscious, vulgar, tasteless trash-talking loudmouth; Forget her. Sleazeballs like her will always be around, unfortunately. The only way she gets any attention at all is because of her foul mouth. Ignore her long enough and she might just go away.......we can only hope.

I'm sorry, CNN, but I saw something entirely different than your slant of the dialogue.
I saw Mrs. Edwards defending her husband against the unqualified charges made by Coulter. You didn't mention the statement by Mrs. Edwards that gained applause from the young audience, that she (Coulter) should concentrate on issues and quit the horrible rhetoric. In no way did Mrs. Edwards tell Coulter to stop, just to stop the vicious personal attacks she is well known for.

Who is this woman??? What is she famous for??? What makes her think she is so important??? Why do we care what she says, she is obviously a NOBODY who loves attention. Any psychology student would tell you she needs attention to make up for teh eattention she never got as a child.

Ann Coulter is such a pig!!!

To Elizabeth Edwards-–
Personally I thought to myself–
WHY is Elizabeth Edwards doing this?
I mean your husband has put himself out there to be considered a candidate.
You should have known it isn't all going to be nicey-nice.
When these people even think about making a bid -– EVERYONE especially
their families should be made aware-- THEY become fair game and are under a microscope. AND to further my comment-
I wish we all had known more about our present president. He wants to take us all down with this pathetic immigration crap. We the real American people need to have a president who will stand up and say NO! The American people are sick of all of it.

Why is the media giving this hateful woman any air time? She is unbelievable!

Coulter,like Rosie and Paris, is not notewothy and, by extension, newsworthy. STOP the coverage or your viewers may just stop watching. Now there is a novel idea!

Exactly what is it that Ann Coulter says that is so intelligent? If her supporters like her for saying everything they already know and agree with, then what new dialogue is she so brilliantly responsible for? I just don't get what she adds besides a lot of back-and-forth on CNN's political ticker page. She apparently adds no insight to political conversation, enjoys stirring up problems, and relishes the attention like a school girl caught with her hand in the cookie jar. What did she even do to get such tremendous amounts of attention in the first place? She can't possibly be the first person to be so hateful in the public eye. Why do we even care about her?

And as an aside-regardless of Elizabeth Edwards' CHOICE to be married to someone in a political race, it should NEVER be okay to treat someone like dirt for the sake of some exposure. I don't care what Mrs. Edwards signed up for. Exposure/sales/headlines of any sort shouldn't come at the cost of one's humanity.

Ann Coulter is a witch

HYPOCRISY!! . These comments are making me sick...

It genuinely makes me physically ill that any people in America could defend the likes of Ann Coulter. However, considering the CNN take seems oddly kind to Coulter versus the actual footage I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. I encourage readers to check the AP's account and/or actually see the video over at MSNBC. Beyond that I'd like to address a few things, starting with Bill Maher.

This is how the Cheny comment came to be on his show: Maher was quoting Huffington Post saying, "I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow."

Asked by Frank (Barney Frank, Congressman) if Maher believed that sentiment, the host replied, "I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact."

That is NOT the same as Ann saying from now on she will only speak of John Edwards when "wishing he was killed in a terrorist assasination attempt."

Add that to previous specific attacks on John Edwards' person, not his policies, not even his actions and I believe Elizabeth is to be commended for being the first to say, "Enough is enough." I can only hope that she has broken the seal on actually seeing upstanding individuals take on the the unfounded comments and attacks. These things are prime examples of freedom of speech, and it is their right to say them, but that does NOT make them okay. To those who believe Coulter and her ilk should be ignored, it is unfortunate that we live in a world where that simply does not work anymore.

And finally, on the point made of "Why did John send his Wife..." This issue in that context would have been a no win for him. If he would have been the caller, plenty of arguments would have been thrown, whiner, etc. I for one believe Elizabeth when she said he had nothing to do with this call. She's a strong woman, who deserves every syllable of praise she receives.

Could go on, but I'll be lucky if people hung with me long enough to get this far. Thanks.

Anne Coulter is disgusting. Why the ignorant American people and media give her any time at all is deeply unfortunate.

Even a rudimentary understanding of psychology tells you that when people spend their time and energy attacking others, it is most often done to cover for their own insecurities. Why do we even lend creedence to this by offering a response?

There seems to be no end to what can be "joked" about these days. I think Bill Maher is in touch with what is going on in goverment and sorry to be reminded of this comment. Ann on the other hand seems to have nothing to say if it isn't slamming and cutting. After her un-necessary and nasty comment in March, people, and people of position, should see her for who she is and just QUIT giving her air time. I wrote to GMA, a program I truely enjoy, about who they've chosen to get political opinion from?! She's such a sorry excuse and not to be listened to anymore, so full of herself!!! Enough already of someone who has no reason to be listened to!!!

Ann Coulter is so low that I can not think of a word that can describe her malicious, cruel, dishonest journalism (that is a stretch) fully. She uses the media as a vehicle to hurt others.
Elizabeth Edwards was brave to try to reason with an animal that can not be reasoned with. Coulter is not good enough be in Mrs. Edward's presence.
Any person who uses their looks and education for the reasons Coulter does is more pathetic than even she will ever realize or admit in her lifetime. Why would anyone want to be in that circle of fame because they are just mean and hurtful not to mention she is a liar of gigantic proportions.
Mrs. Edwards, please consider the source. You were NOT addressing a valuable member of our society but, you were addressing a slithering whatever who enjoys fame that has been built on being mean and a liar. She won't stop. She doesn't care. But, wouldn't you love to know what happened to her in childhood that produced such a twisted personality?
Ann Coulter? I hope that in the future the journalists in this country will not allow you air time or even one page to 'write' on. One thing to think about, Coulter, is that when you finally shrivel up and leave the place of the living, who will care? You and your hate will slither away forever and no one will care, at least no good person in this country will.
You will no doubt read most of these comments, or a few, to get your chuckles for the day. Someday you will be very lonely, very alone, and hopefully very sorry.

Ann Coulter is the PARIS HILTON of politics. She makes money having no substance, only for being outrageous, I wish people stopped paying attention to both.

Perhaps people vote for the Republicans because they see posters here as a sample of average Democrats. Or it could be because they're right about many issues. Either way, on this issue, an objective onlooker who's heard the whole story has to think Coulter won. She was asked about Jonh Edwards, and she refused to talk about him by sarcastically mimicing Bill Maher. Then, not only does no less than Elizabeth Edwards have a coronary over it, but media sound-byte peddlers quote just the last six words and misportray it all over the internet, resulting in hundreds of angry comments from people who have no idea what they're talking about. It'd be much more funny if it wasn't so sad. This is how our elections get decided...

Why does the media still give Ann Coulter air time? I am well aware of the right to freedom of speech, but this woman is clearly just being derogatory for the sake of being derogatory. Why should we listen to her opinion anyway? Who is she to make such inflammatory statements? I am not a liberal or conservative, I am well versed in current politics and base my opinions and decisions on all the facts at hand, but Ms. Coulter is clearly not in touch with any reality. She apparently has a need for attention or (and I hope not to offend anyone) may have some sort of disorder that does not allow her to filter her comments. I give Ms. Coulter credit for one thing, she has been able to alienate herself from ALL of the political parties.

It's sad how the "right", which claims to be so "righteous", is actually so hateful. The venom from their media darlings is disgraceful to the journalistic profession, is disrespectful of Americans in general, and proves to the rest of the world that the US is populated with spiteful children who have never learned how to behave.

Ann Coulter:
Positives:
Undergraduate degree: Cornell
Graduate degree (law): Michigan
Five best selling books
Negatives:
Heterosexual relationships consists of multiple affairs, non long term. No family, no children, lacks compassion, creates wealth and fame by demeaning others. Seeks the approval of others through negative stereotyping of many different groups, races, classes and individuals.
This woman is very lonely and very sad. She must have had a very dysfunctional childhood. Behavior like hers is not genetic based, it is learned. As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. Her aberrant behavior should be treated with understanding and compassion. The first thing we need to do is understand it. The last thing we need to do is encourage it.

So Ann Coulter is annoyed the Bill Maher comments about Cheney did not get him any heat, but her comments about Edwards did. here's the difference Ann, Bill Maher is supposed to be a comic, while you are not. But you are becoming more of a joke with each of these shots.

Go Mrs. Edwards!!!

I can't understand why anyone could vote for the hateful Republican party when Coulter and the other despicable hypocrite Limbaugh are their representatives.

At least if a person admits to being a fan of either Coulter or Limbaugh, you immediately know that you are dealing with an vicious imbecile.

If Elizabeth Edwards does not want to deal with personal attacks, she should not be married to a man who is politically active and/or running for president. It comes with the territory, lady.

Coulter is an idiot. Any anyone who subscribes to her hateful way of thinking is no better. She serves not purpose but her own financial gain.

Kudos to Edwards for confronting her!!

Thank G-d for the founding fathers and for the wisdom which they had, unlike the visibly hate mongering liberalist drivel architects of this diatribe, that they in their protection of even the skankiest of those in our society to which they guaranteed the very rights to free speech. Were it not for nut jobs like her, imagine what Edward and the rest of the liberal snake charmers would hide from the rest of us while they corral the nation into their tax drain matrix. She looks like a pit-bull because she bites like a pit-bull. She is mean and ugly and that scares even the toughest of them, and that folks is just the way it should be.

Ann Coulter is extraordinarily relevant. She brings about political discourse. What's more, she called Mr. Edwards on his hypocrisy. A man who gets $400 haircuts, lives in a mansion bigger than many countries, and charges $55,000 dollars to college students for a speech on POVERTY is not worthy of my respect.

Typical of the left; hit & "run away"...
They can dish it out, but CAN NOT take it!

I don't read Ann Coulter, nor know her literary works except for her profane and derogatory speech that is mentioned in news briefs. She doesnt appear to take responsibility for her actions but seems to want to justify herself with the actions of others. She should just save us the misery of hearing her stupid comments and jump off the proverbial bridge, since she rails that she only made the Edwards assassination statement after Maher made his.

Ann Colter is ignorant and self-serving. Anyone knows you can't rationalize with someone who is irrational. Elisabeth was wasting her time. Ann Colter isn't worth the price of the paper her RAG is printed on and mentally stable people don't pay much attention to the CRAP she spews.

The way she seems to be obsessed with John Edwards, it almost appears as if she might have a secret crush on him and want to 'do" him! After all she is acting just like a first grader who likes the boy in the seat in front of her so she kicks his seat constantly...

It's like listening to two chickens clucking. Why does the media let Ann Coulter on their shows? Why does her opinion matter?

Ann Coulter is indefensible because she acts like a typical Democrat.

Amen Elizabeth! Intolerance anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere and Ms. Coulter seems to be just so darn intolerant. Thank you for being the bigger person, while you fight your own batter.

All the best!

Typical of CNN viewers. This group has gone off the edge on the left. I'm no Coulter fan, but this story is simple. She has been vocally opposed to what Bill Maher said about wishing for Cheney's assassination for some time, so when pressed about John Edwards she repeated his quote almost verbatim. If her purpose was to prove that the response to such a statement is extremely partisan, she did very well. You morons are playing right into her hands. So let's see it. Let's see someone here admit that Bill Maher was out of line, and that after Ann Coulter's comments, we are now basically even. I doubt we will. This is a CNN blog, after all.

Who ever said that the Edwards support late term abortions? They are against the law, are they not? And what does that have to do with their 16 year old dying? Nothing.

Larry Kudlow just told Ann coulter that the media holds her to a double standard, than insisted that she explain why she said what she said. Puke. Bill Mahr didn't have to explain himself. Shame on you Larry.
Ann was right. It's self explanatory to any english understanding human and she doesn't need to say anything more.

I am a lifelong Republican but I am completely ashamed of Coulter's mean spirited comments. She is not a good representation of what I believe is the manner in which we should conduct ourselves personally and politically. Shame on you Ann Coulter. Get your point across with class.

Addressing a person like Coulter is just a waste of time. She is a sensationalist, trying to make the last few dollars off the GOP's failed surge to power.

The fact that she HAS to specifically insult Edwards in such a ridiculous way shows what she really stands for.

MONEY. It's very childish really. Bill Mahr.. A COMEDIAN... made a comment that angered her and her fruitcake zealot friends SO, as the good brainwashed child she is, she simply did the same think to Edwards. An eye for an eye right Ann thats what the Bible says.... NOT TO DO.

How you can be a supported of this supposed platform of traditional family values and then make statements like this which are either insane (if she was serious she should be hospitalized because she obvious can't distinguish reality from some paranoid ego driven fantasy) OR the more likely scenario, she is just another money grabbing loud mouth who ultimately has no real point to her hateful babbling.

At least Ann was honest about her own lack of content. If Ann Coulter couldn't babble hateful BS she really wouldn't have anything to say.. and so in that sense she was correct about her interpretation of Mrs. Edwards statement.

How about Ann Coulter tries to stand on the virtue of her own statements and ideas instead of making a living making childish and sensationalist statements.

Ultimately I don't see why Mrs. Edwards would address someone like this, Coulter is simply not important enough for the Edwards' to bother themselves. Like Republicanism itself Ann's idea's are all mostly self defeating. She will more or less discredit herself every time she opens her mouth and has nothing to say but childish insults. Plus she probably sold half her book on the fact she was a slightly attractive blonde and well, these things don't last as we can see by her current picture. Not that she was every actually good looking, but rather without at least some attractiveness I think she'll have lost her only real edge iin the times of a quickly changing market and political atmosphere.

But hey, Ann, look on the bright side there are always positions in the lobbying industry for GOP zealots. Maybe with that you can afford that google-eyed surgery fix you've always wanted.

She reminds me with the godhatesfags.com church who would rather side with terrorists than accept the fact they live in a majority liberal nation. Yea, I hope the liberals lose and the terrorists win. Way to support America Ann. Obviously we can see you are in it strictly for the money.

The difference in AC's last point is this:

1. Bill Maher is an astute, funny comedian.
2. Ann Coulter, isn't.

It's okay for liberal democrats to bash everyone they don't like but when they get the bashed, it's poor me, "Did you hear what they said about me?" elizbeth, suck it up.

Hello! Can all of the Ann Coulter/Bush Fans/Republicans call me in late 2008? I dont know about you but I will living in a country that has a Democrat President (maybe even a female or an African American) a country that is not in another Vietnam War (pointless) and maybe I will be driving my car with gas that costs less than 3 dollars

When I meet a woman who is a conservative Republican I understand her to be just like Ann. I judge all Republican, conservative women by her and I believe they are all the same.

Why is CNN or MSNBC or anyone giving that horrible woman airtime? She is a hate monger and nothing more and should be dealt with as such. Stop putting her on the air!!!

I object to the vitriolic language Ann Coulter uses, (wishing someone killed ...) I am a republican and I wish the right sided media will not allow her the platform to spew personal attackes that do not serve the interest of the conservatives. Ann Coulter does not speak for us. I will not vote for Senator Edwards, but I wish him and Mrs Edwards well.

I think rewarding Ann Coulter, or anyone else in her position, for her bad behaviour by continuing to contract her as a speaker on any 'news' program demeans the entire true news process. Commentators like her change what is supposed to be an informative exchange of current events to simple entertainment. Her style degrades the whole system and doesn't enlighted anyone to any true issues, only to the irresponsible ramblings of a bitter woman. There needs to be some accountability. It seems that we have lost touch with what the whole point of news is supposed to be. Please – let's get rid of the two-cent sound bites. I'd like to see the news become news again, presented with integrity, honesty and intelligence.

Have no idea what she's talking about, Bill Maher is on HBO isn't he? And as for comments, hey he was fired from ABC for making bad comments about Bush. So maybe Ann Coulter can be fired from her publisher. But as I disagreed with ABC, I wouldn't want Ann fired either. But she certainly is one of the bigger hypocrits out there.

Coulter is a bully ... And she should start to acting the part of a journalist. What self respecting journalist would say "he (Edwards) should have been killed by terrorists". Come on !! I am not a fan of Edwards but dislike it when people like Coulter are given any room to air there views.

She's such a tool. Telling Mrs. Edwards that she should also confront Bill Maher. What a coward. Stand by what you say, why walk away from it? Isn't that what she wants? Or does she want to drop the insults and run like a scared "MEOW" cat? I think she's a jerk!

I love how Coulter defended her "killed in a terrorist attack" remarks by referring to Bill Mahers comments around the same time. Not only does she prove that she's a bigot, but she also proves that she can't come up with her own material.

Will someone get this woman out of the media? Does anyone take her seriously?

Same old, same old. Republicans make truly UNBELIEVABLE personal attacks, make excuses or fail to take responsibility. Then claim "the other side does it." The politics of personal smear are not a commonly embraced tactic for "my side." But I'll make an exception for the Coultergeist; she is beyond reproach and clearly, beyond help. Maybe the Wizard of Oz has a spare heart.

Ann Coulter is such a vile human, if you can catagorize her as such. I don't take seriously what comes out of her mouth. Just negative horrible meaningless insults. She is right to compare herself with a comedian. Mrs. Edwards on the contrary conducts herself as a lady and should not even bother giving Ann Coulter the time of day.

I am a conservative and I don't like Ann Coulter's ascerbic comments. It certainly isn't befitting somebody who calls herself a Christian. On the other hand, Mrs. Edwards is also shameless hypocrite because she defended obscene Bush bashing in Harlem during the 2004 election.

Ann Coulter should just go away... far far away. She makes no sense, she like a bad comedienne.. one that makes you want your money back... ShE is what is wrong with this country. Her and her alone!

republicans are lucky that they dont have to worry raising funds from poor people, because they have a long list of rich people to get money from.

I am amazed by the people who post support of Coulter and throw the term "lefties" around like it's a four letter term. Being a Democrat or a non-Republican or an independent or whatever does not make you an enemy of this country. This ridiculous hateful attitude is not constructive in any way shape or form and does nothing to further the causes or reputations of Republicans, Conservatives or Christians. Yes I freely admit that I support some "liberal" causes. Crazy me, I want to see children fed, sick people getting affordable medical care, elderly people cared for, gee I guess I must have aligned myself with the dark side, why or why did I ever pay attention to what I was taught in Sunday school?!?

Coulter's frequent remarks about John Edwards do reflect the basest level of political dialogue. She has lost all credibilty.

We should all thank are lucky stars that we each have a voice and can exercise or freedom of speech (good or bad)by living in this country. Try saying the things these people say in Iran, Cuba, Afghanistan, etc. I like reading all the comments because at least we can say what we want.

Coulter is nuts. Period.

as a Polish/Canadian I see clearly how deeply you American folks got entangled in this evil web of DIVIDE AND RULE~

Dr Ron Paul 2008

John Edwards is a weinie. He has to
send his wife out to talk for him.
How's he going to stand up to terrorists and dictators?

Actually, what Ann Coulter said,
(when Matthews would let her speak)
is correct. They used her cancer
and their dead child for political
reasons. They deserve to be answered!

People of our day have no code of ethics, no boundaries on how far to stretch their words. Whatever happen to the risk of embarrassing oneself or alienating oneself for inflammatory or rude remarks against others. People these days in the pursuit of shock jock mentality make me sick.

THis woman is out of control all she is about is selling books and herself...you know what they call people who put themselves up for sale!!!

Ann Coulter is a loudmouthed idiot who only cares about making outrageous statements for attention. She has no interest in the political process but is only self serving. I am sorry she has such a sad pathetic life that the only way she can feel better is by tearing others down, no matter the means or lies.

Ann Coulter is a mean spirited advocate of her own personal goals.As a CNN fan (this includes TV and internet) I would like to see and hear less of Ms. Coulter's opinion – on any subject.
I agreed with Mrs. Edwards – we don't need this and it really does detract from the issues.
Ms. Coulter accuses everyone of attention grabbing – but in truth – she sets the pace.
Her views are about as valuable to me as political views of the likes of Paris, Britney and Lindsay.
Please do not give her any air time or print time whatsoever – that way, maybe we can start to put some meaning back into political commentary.
D. O'Connor

Thanks Ann for giving the libs a little dose of their own medicine.

Somewhat biased report from CNN. why not state the horrible comment that Coulter made about Edwards up front. Elizabeth's comments weren't apropos of nothing.

CNN can't even get this simple story right. Elizabeth Edwards didn not tell Ms. Coulter to "knock it off." She politely asked her to stop the personal attacks. Way to go CNN! The most busted name in news.

i find it interesting that people who profess to be "liberal" or "conservative" are both just as mean spirited as those they "oppose". Just as true Christians do not hold up signs saying "God hates f*gs", true conservatives do not espouse hate, nor do true liberals not listen to opposing viewpoints. Just because Edwards lost a child does not make him a saint. The comments on this blog underscore the divide that is tearing our country apart. And, by the way, Ann use to date Bill Maher.

I want to see AC and AF debate. Franken is one of the only democrat debaters who won't be itimidated by a bully.

When O'SmiteThee has him on the show, he does not let him talk over him or interupt him the way he does to all his other guest that disagree with him.

I just don't think AC has the gall to sit down with someone who can expose her for the liar she is.

"How nice it must be to have a sympathetic cancer patient to help you raise cash."

Nice? What an amzing statement. Having watched my mother and father die of cancer, I'm guessing John Edwards would rather his wife (and mother of two young children) be healthy than dying of cancer, no matter how much money she raises. You have no idea how horrible this disease is until you've watched someone you love dearly die from it.

For someone on the left to demand someone on the right to stop making nasty negative personal comments is as audacious as the left demanding fairness in media coverage.

Ann Coulter is a disgrace not only to America, but the human race. Coulter's actions and comments transcend the left and right, but they divide American into two other categories: those who are idiots, selfish, and ignorant, and those who are not. If there really is a God, for sure she will go to hell before any doctor performing abortion does.

You will notice how the supporters of AC have no evidence to back up their claims, and thus are forced to result to "Stop Whining" or "AC comments are always true" as an argument.

How about giving some examples?

Isn't AC whining about Edwards? Isn't she whining about Maher? However, we do not resort to sophmoric statements until forced.

I am appalled and angry by Ann Coulters
vicious comments and behavior. Please do not invite her to guest on any CNN
program because I will turn her off and not return. She is a destructive
voice in our countries political process.

Ann Coulter needs a hard slap across the face! I dont care about political affiliations...there are some things you just dont say! She is a miserable woman and if I didnt want to smack her I would feel sorry that she has so little talent that she needs to attack others to get attention!

Coulter is WAY out of line. I don't care that she's a blonde, but she obviously has 'Barbie' moments.

how can a man lose his career as a talk show host over a racial comment and nothing be said about a women promoting terrorizm especially during these times when the government is trying to stop terrorizm from entering the United States.

HEY ELIZABETH.........IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT THEN GET OUT OF POLITICS.........AND TAKE MR $400 HAIRCUT WITH YOU.

Coulter is a waste of public discourse. Airing her is perpetuating her and validating her. News media needs to get their ethics in order and stop presenting Coulter and celebrity gossip as hard news. Your poisioning American's political and social perspective, CNN. Great job. When your finished with your in-depth reports about Paris and Coulter, try to do a little something on the rest of us. There IS a war going on. Oh yea. Tahoe is burning too. When you get a chance, that is...

What is the difference between a terrorist and Ms.Coulter? None i guess..when one cannot use rational sense and just hope everyone who holds a different opinion dies.
How can a moron like her be tolerated? I believe she has issues..perhaps she needs a place in some mental institute .

CLOUTER? PLEASE, WHAT'S HER CLAIM TO BE HEARD FROM IN ANY POLITICAL ARENA ?
SHE SHOULD JUST HAVE ANOTHER GLASS OF WINE AND WATCH TV.

Ann Coulter is a gnat. Sure, she's annoying, but all you have to do is swat her out of the way and go about your business. She's no more relevant than the stuff collecting on the underside of my shoe.

Dems and liberals, stop talking about how much you hate her. Of course you hate her; she wants you to. If you really, REALLY hate Ann Coulter, then you're playing into her hands. She's not a conservative, she's just a nut pretending to be a conservative.

Republicans and Cons, stop defending her. If you believe in 'telling it like it is,' then power to you, but that's not what Ann Coulter does. She makes spurious inane statements and then tries to pass them off with a haughtiness that is childish at best. Allowing this woman to associate herself with your beliefs or your party is bain, not a boon.

This is a woman who very definitely needs to be told to shut up.

What was with Coulter's black cocktail dress and dark glasses? She probably wears dark glasses all the time so no one will recognize her since everyone but the Republicans hate her. Too bad the glasses don't cover her entire ugly face. And what's with that hair flipping all the time?

That woman is pure evil.

How nice it must be to have a sympathetic cancer patient to help you raise cash.

ANN COULTER MY HEROINE !!!!!!! All of the negative hateful comments about ANN being hateful...go figure!! Ann was ambushed, it was all planned in order for the DEMS to motivate their base and rake in donation$.

Ann Coulter is a bigoted loudmouth. If she were a public official she would be censured and an apology would be demanded of her. I trust that her poisonous attacks will revisit her in the future. Perhaps then she will learn some humility.

Who the heck is this Coulter person? Except for the press CNN has given her....I've never heard of her.

"I take great comfort in knowing that so many Lefties are listening to Ms. Coulter. The reality is that when Ms. Coulter speaks, people listen. That’s what is important, and what the clueless Lefties are simply not getting."

Posted By BC, Chicago Illinois : June 27, 2007 4:42 pm

...and most of them are laughing at her.

Who would anyone pay any attention to anything Ms. Coulter said?

Ann Coulter's right wing loose talk is what's really wrong with the Republican party.

"I absolutely hate Ann Coulter; with every fiber of my being, and to a lesser extent those that believe or support anything she says."
Sounds like a Dem-a-kook to me.

I watched the partial interview with AC & CM this morning; I have to agree with all those who have written in. AC is an idiot, a locked jaw big mouth! She continues to have her 15 minutes of fame she craves; having said this! Keep her on air, the public will eventually grow tired of her, all the while she will become a bigger locked jaw idiot & as usual have nothing intelligent or anything of great value to say!
Mrs. Edwards! YOU GO GIRL!

How do you know that Ann Coulter's comments are true. Do you watch Bill Maher? Do you fact check her articles? No. Franken did with a team of fact checkers, and states numerous examples of her perpetrating lies to the public. Please read and then comment. You are showing your own ignorance.

She is on the border with being more of a liar than Rush, who talks on the air about how drug users should be locked up for life, and then was addicted to 30 oxycontin a day. Oxycotin is the perscription equivalent to heroin. And they are supposed to last 12 hours with one dosage. How would you need 30? How would anyone?

Ann Coulter epitomizes what is wrong with the moral fiber of this country, cutting up good honorable people just to make herself feel good, then she capitalizes on it by selling a few books. What a bully and a coward, how do you sleep at night? Do us all a favor a crawl back under the rock you slithered from.

The mistake that Elizabeth Edwards and many who are attempting to expose Ann Coulter to reason, sanity and common decency is assuming that Ms. Coulter is familiar with any of those concepts.

what do you mean the support? Please read Al Franken's book, Liars. Conservatives received more air time for ads and more political discussion than democrats in both the 2000 and 2004 elections. The media is too far right wing. All the TV stations are owned by known conservatives. Yet somehow the media is biased left? This is a lie perpetrated by FOX NEWS, the worst of all of them. CNN may be a bit more liberal than conservative, but don't you think thats only fair. Conservatives have every other network on TV.

Anne Coulter Rocks. She tells it like it is.

I think this woman has no decorum at all and shows her true colors about herself. She degrades herself everytime she opens her mouth.

Elizabeth Edwards is a remarkable woman with an uncommon amount of common sense and integrity. Like Eleanor Roosevelt 70 years ago, Mrs. Edwards is not afraid to speak out against injustice, prejudice and plain bad manners. I hope Mrs. Edwards' next address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Thank you, Elizabeth! Keep up the good work.

Why do we give Coulter so much air time?, she is an "airhead" who got lucky because Americans will spend money on anything, including her book. Her comments on Politics are empty and uneducational especially if there is any hope attracting young people to the world of politics.

First, how dare anyone wish death to another in a terrorist attack. That is complete outrage. Ann Coulters commits are completely true. Democrats will never get the same flack for negative commits like conservatives do. Cnn claims to be fair and balanced? When are the conservatives going to be given the support like democrats? probably never..

I LOVE Elizabeth Edwards for standing up against Ann Culter and her hateful language. The media needs to "shut down" now! She is toxic!

is john edwards going tomake his deadline of 9 million dollar by june 30th? and what happens if he does not?

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!I can not believe you idiots would even give this monster a chance........She is an idiot on top of the temple of absolute ignorance....Anybody listens to this insane woman or remotely thinks the Republicans have a chance in the White House needs to have their head examine. Don’t you know the Republicans are paying her top money to spill this garbage.....come on CNN....Report something better like the poor or how the administration has failed the people in New Orleans or Louisiana.

Are you Ann Coulter? You must be to say what she says is honest, or must be living in a cave. Bill Maher didn't even say the things she claims.

She groups together quotes from different paragraphs of writing, sometimes different stories all together, to get the desired effect. Or actually changes the wording and then acts as if she is quoting the person. For advice, read the sources (the whole thing) she quotes and see how much truth she is stating.

I'm sure that I could take her writing and group together pieces of quotes from different paragraphs to say, "Ann Coulter is a hateful idiot!"

See, she said it about herself. Thats as valid as anything she writes.

Read post June 27, 2007 3:37 pm and you will see just how much she reports the truth.

I take great comfort in knowing that so many Lefties are listening to Ms. Coulter. The reality is that when Ms. Coulter speaks, people listen. That's what is important, and what the clueless Lefties are simply not getting.

I would rather sit and talk with Ann any day than the person that wrote this:

I absolutely hate Ann Coulter with every fiber of my being, and to a lesser extent those that believe or support anything she says.

Sounds like such a "reasonable" person.

ann coulter is sick.. mentally ill and the media should stop inviting her into the studio

...Like Ron White said, "You can't fix stupid"....and blonde too!!!!

I don't think I have much respect to Ann Coulter anymore. Enough is enough. That was just trash talk and did nothing but cause another human being pain. I'm throwing her books out and never plan to buy another.

In considering hypocrisy, perhaps one should look at MSNBC. They got rid of Imus but give Anne Coulter, the queen of hate, air time. Why does anyone watch MSNBC?

Way to go Ann – Keep at it! Dumbocrats are such whiners, just once I wish they would realize that nobody cares what they think.

keep stirring them up, they're good for a laugh!

Elizabeth Edwards exudes class, proven by her considerate, caring support of her husband, family, community, and national health and social issues.

Coulter lacks class, proven by her consistently irresponsible, childish behavior. Its a shame that the press feel she's worthy of the coverage. If she has a redeeming quality, its to serve as a bad example for America. And we have enough of that, already.

i feel sorry for the kind of person she is and she doesn't deserve to be getting all this attention.

Ann Coulter is correct in her statement about Bill Maher. He says things like this all the time on his show, specifically about some Conservative being killed and finding humor or pleasure in it, and yet there is no outcry or posting on CNN about it. Politics being played by CNN against Conservatives, and you know it.

I have read Ann Coulter's books and viewed many interviews. If you like stright forward honest and factual accounts of historical events, then she is your choice.

The problem with the politic of today is that the spin doctors have taken away accurate acountability and truth. They have stretched the discourse so thin that the educated comman man can see through it.

"Double-Plus Good" Ann! Keep up the open and honest dialogue.

John Edwards should be able to talk about HIS son as much as he wants. He was the one that lost that child not Ann Coulter or anyone who is trying to defend that freak.

Who does this woman think she is anyway? I cannot believe I just read what I read. She must be a member of Fred Phelps organization or in other words, she must be nuts.

What Coulter said was evil. Any organization that associates with her should be ashamed.

BOYCOTT everything about her...she's PURE EVIL!

It still surprises me what utter garbage can come out of people's mouths!I just watched the video of the comments by Edwards and Coutler. I
thought Edwards'comments were polite to a fault. A real lady! Coutler? I've heard about her comments regarding the 9/11 widows and once I heard that, I never wanted to hear her ever again. But my home page is CNN. I'm a widow. My husband had a heroic 5-year battle with cancer and was diagnosed when our kids were just 9 and 13.We were in Mexico on 9/11 seeking alternative cancer treatment. So I do understand heartache. I can't imagine what the Edwards have goen through with the death of their 16-year old son. My son turned 21 the day after Virginia Tech.Talk about an emotional day. So I watched the Edwards' live press conference recently when they announced her cancer had returned and was considered terminal.I applauded their decision to continue on with the presidential campaign and their lives. My husband "beat" cancer, only to have it return 11 weeks later after 6 months of chemo. So I, honestly, say I'm in Edwards' corner and am disgusted with Coulter's "bumper sticker" comment:"Ask Me About My Dead Son". She obviously has no heart, or if she does it only is in her body to beat so she can stay alive and spew this utter garbage to anyone who is stupid enough to listen. Her heart, obviously, contains not one ounce of love or compassion. But what I really noticed about the interview, is that Coulter's body language. To me, she looks like she's trying to be cool, but she constantly takes her hand and pushes back her long, blonde hair. I think she's sweating & knows that Edwards has learned who she really is. Maya Angelou (Oprah's mentor) says: When people show you who they are–the first time–believe them! And yes! I do know this is a long post.

Coulter's comments about John Edwards are typical of her usual hateful rhetoric. She carefully crafts her comments to draw attention to herself and then relishes the negative feedback and "face time" on TV that her vitriol produces. She's disgusting.

I am thoroughly sick of Coulter's methods to increase her pocketbook. I wish the rest of the country had more common sense and got rid of her for good–maybe send her to Iraq or Guantanamo or a secret prison somewhere.

I don't want Edwards and his wife in the White House if she thinks this is bad, then she doesn't have the stuff to be there.

Good job Ann C keep it up, 3 'maybes' from NYC for our leader is the end of ends.

The 110th House has a worst poll rating then the White House anyway.

So when Republicans speak about poverty they do it for free? I had no idea! (and the word you're looking for is "hypocracy" – though it's not the correct one).

280 something posts in a couple hours and what's the point... the other side is wrong and the reason the world messed up.

Ann Coulter is a great example of a woman who is willing to resort to any means to obtain publicity. She not only degrades all candidates, gays, women and embarasses herself, but also makes a joke of a network
who thinks her statements are in the least newsworthy.
This is yet another example of the "dumbing of America". I will never purchase another of her books nor will I often turn the channel to CNN who thinks her
statements are worthy of any attention. Disgusting!

Its a sad commentary on America that the likes of Ann Coulter and her cheap shots get air time, while the reasonable requests for Ms Edwards get pilloried. I agree with Edwards that we should be looking to raise the quality of debate rather than dredging around in the mud with Coulter and her ilk.

That Coulter woman is vile!!! I don't know if she just aimed to bring attention to herself or not but everytime she opened her mouth, she spewed hateful things about people.

This poor miserable wretch has no place whatsoever on any national platform and all of you within the media know it.
All the major networks (including CNN) go against their own sense of beliefs regarding personal conduct and basic decency when
you provide this vicious guttersnipe with an enormous audience because she's a drawing card for you, not unlike some sideshow character.
In this case however, the sideshow is nothing more than a display of thinly veiled hatred and contempt by one person towards another
and the delivery is designed solely to attack and to injure and any message, if there is one, is lost.
You do this woman and your own listeners no service whatsoever by publicizing her and you send the worst message by acknowledging her.

All I can say,Go Ann!

Ann Coulter is doing the same thing as Sean and Rush and all the other Republicans out their. If you were a Republican 7 years ago great. If you are still a republican today their is something very very wrong with YOU! Please get help or move to Iraq. Bush should be the president of Iraq and everyone that supports him or watches FOX NEWS should move to Iraq. I can no longer believe their are good Republicans in America.

Ann Coulter is what is wrong with American politics today. She does not have any substance, she is just mean-spirited. I turn off a program immediately when I know she is going to be on.

Coulter is unprofessional and a disgrace. She isn't funny or needed, but she is rich. I think that is the biggest disgrace of all.

One thing God does hate is sin. In the liberal world of I'm okay, you're okay, nothing is sin, even that which God considers abominable. God expects me to love the sinner, but also to speak out against sin. As an American citizen I have a constitutional right to express that publicly, regardless of how rudely, hatefully, or violently people respond, and believe me, Democrats and other assorted liberals, with all their talk of tolerance, peace, love, and flowers, have nothing but contempt for anyone who disagrees with them, and have no qualms about expressing that contempt in the vilest manner they can summon.

It's true that Coulter never adds anything useful to a political discussion. As a media outlet, can you do us all a favor and stop supporting her pointless career? thanks!

Ann Coulter is not only a disgrace to women, but to all humans. She gives all Republicans (including myself) a bad name. She doesn't have enough intelligence (or class) to hold a political conversation without reciting one of her memorized, standard lines, interrupting her counterpart and then hitting below the belt with personal attacks. I'd like to see someone attack her personally- how about this: she is a lonely, bitter person, who tries to make herself feel important in the world by ranting off "shocking" remarks. At the end of the day, she will be a washed up has-been, going home to an empty house, and being so impressed with herself & what she thinks she's achieved, she won't actually know that her life has been pointless. I think that pretty much sums up Ann Coulter, and quite frankly, I actually feel sorry for her.

Lefties are golden . . . another cherished comment from the clueless, this time illustrating their rather irrational infatuation with world opinion.

-"And people wonder why most foreign countries don’t like Americans…It’s because we put people like Ann all over the news to spread hatred."

Are you kidding me?? Other countries hate Americans because they are jealous of us, not because of Ms. Coulter. Give me a break . . . what about the countries that routinely show beheadings of civilians and soldiers on nationalized television??? Even lefites have to admit that America is better than those countries. Right??

Kudos to Elizabeth Edwards for standing up to the bullying, obnoxious tactics of Ann Coulter. I applaud her efforts at the same time that I lament the need for her words. Elizabeth Edwards, obviously, has the courage of her convictions. How about the right wing, conservative pundits getting a bit of their own courage up to silence Coulter's obnoxious behavior. My guess is that there is not enough courage in THAT wing to manage it.

This is a situation I expect to hear from my 6 year old who has had a bad day at kindergarden. It amazes me how both sides have turned our political system into such a childish & sensationalistic machine. Until politicians, analysts & commentators stop name callling & finger pointing like kids on the play ground & seriously do their jobs in a respectable manner. All "We the people" can do is look on in disgust. This is not some frivolous game of kickball in the school yard or food fight in the cafeteria. This is people dying in a war, elderly men & women who are uncertain if they can afford medication from day to day & an administration that has run amuck. Just to mention a couple of the numerous issues. The shame of it all is that it really doesn't matter who is running this country, this rederic always lingers. These people are just glorified cogs in a machine that should not have a second of time to waste on being a clown in the media circus. Instead, doing their jobs in a positive professional way to help this country gain some of it's dignity back. that's just my opinion.

We must stop all the hate mongering. It is far to destructive. It may make for snazzy little soundbites but in the end the voters are the losers.

Did Ann Coulter ever graduate from grade school? Apparently not, as her level of discourse is about the same as one might hear on an elementary school playground. I am incensed that the major networks allow and even courage her. Tune her out to shut her up and the players at CNN should be helping us out!

Anne Coulter is thoroughly unpleasant. She is one of the things that is wrong with political commentary today.

Hoorah for Elizabeth Edwards, but why does anybody let Ann Coulter talk? She's a hack. She is a perfect example of what is wrong with the current administration and the whole republican party. To publically state you wish ANYONE to be killed in a terrorist attack? At least the Edwards' have maintained their dignity. Ann Coulter, on the other hand, makes a fool of herself at every turn.

Ann Coulter has NO place in American Politics. Her divisive, abusive and hateful remarks should and will not be tolerated. She is obviously a very angry individual that is incredibly unhappy about her own demons.

I am all for having a point of view and speaking on it but Ms. Coulter is crossing the line. For some reason, she keeps trying to tell jokes like a comedian.....that is Bill Maher job not hers. She, as far as I know, is suppose to be a political correspondent. Unfortunately, she seems to suck at that job also.

Would you say that its uneducated that 3 years after the terrorist attacks that half of america thought Saddam was behind them?
Would you say that its uneducated that over half the country still does not believe in evolution, something that has been resolved in the courts 80 years ago?

Maybe you should read the text. Coulter has given a excuse for her saying that she wished Edwards was killed in a terrorist attack by saying that Maher said that about Cheney, which is untrue anyway. Read post by Ellen, Ames, IA : June 27, 2007 3:37 pm. Maybe you should re-read the above article or the posts, because no one else is confused.

question for Angela, Elkhorn, NE.

What is a Moran?

Anne Coulter is the one and only weapon of mass, mass, mass destruction.

I'm a Republican and I am disgraced and ashamed that Ann Coulter chooses to speak for our party. I think she is a a bitter, mean person and does absolutely nothing to to help the party. Her utter lack of tact and grace is a stain on a party that desperately needs to clean it's image. I wish she would just go away and let us begin the process of healing this party's wounds. What a horrible human being.

I agree with Elizabeth Edwards and I find Ann Coulter's comments to be immature and cruel. Most of what she says has no political basis for debate. There are too many issues to discuss out there and stooping to playground name calling is just plain ridiculous. John Edwards has a good sense of humor and is willing to laugh most things off but you will never catch him in a personal attack because that is the way he and his family do things.

Ann Coulters opening of her mouth shows her hostility, which is apparent that it comes from deep within to issues that she has not even begun to address in realtionship to herself. One comment to you Ann. . . "Get off the cross Mary, we need the wood!"

Good ofr Elizabeth it is about time someone told ms. thang where to go. She a poor excuse for a woman. Ms. C is UNGLY INSIDE AND OUT. I wish more poeple would speak out, because all ms. thang is trying to do is get some air time and attetnion. THANK YOU MS. ELIZABETH YOU GOT GUTS

I am dissapointed that any respectable program would have Ms. Coulter as a guest. She's not worth Mrs. Edwards time nor heartache. As much as Ms. Coulter angers me, I wouldn't wish her the kind of pain that she has caused to so many with her cruel remarks. Her cruelty comes so easy.

Ann Coulter is a malevolent rabble-rouser, chronically guilty of skulduggery . She doesn't deserve the airtime.

I wonder what would happen if Bill Maher and Ann Coulter had a child? The end of the world, perhaps? By the way, I LOVE YOU BILL MAHER!!!

I'm not saying it's ok to bash others BUT Mr Maher has INDEED, gotten away with alot of uncalled for, nasty remarks. Treat everyone the same or shut up!

"Simply making personal attacks because they are from a different political party than you should be banned, UNLESS YOU HAVE PROOF ON CERTIFIED, UNDOCTORED VIDEOTAPE."

Sweetheart, if that's the case, then your comment should not have been posted.

The more you publish comments by this outrageous Coulter woman, the more publicity she gets, which only seems to fuel her fire. She is by far the worst person I have ever had the displeasure of listening to, and her biased and negative comments about seemingly every person she comes into contact with only shows me that her life must be a very sad and lonely one. I will teach my daughter, who is now two, to respect people of all race, religion, and personality, and if something they do does not offend or hurt her personally, let it go. It's not worth it to go through life hating everyone, as Ms. Coulter repeatedly shows. She is a sad, sad, little woman.

I am not a "Leftie" or a "Rightie" but your comments make me sick. This venomous woman speaks in the name of ultra conservatism and of course her supporters always have to mention "GOD". My "GOD" is not a "GOD" of hate, he is a "GOD" of Love, My "GOD" is not a "GOD" of vengence he is a "GOD" of forgivness, open your Bibles and read them if you know how to read.

ann coulter, paris hilton, any station that talks about them, or gives them airtime should be fined!! coulter should have been stopped by the widow's of 911.why they did not sue her or stop her i'll never understand,, and the media is really to blame for any money they make or publicity, ignore them maybe they will go away, coulter does nothing but spew venom and hate, hilton just does nothing, the whole world laughs at us because of what we deem important. hannity, o'reilly, this week have talked of nothing important other than hilton, they will not mention anything relevant like cheney who believes he is god.

Recent media reporting has covered inappropriate comments by talk show hosts. Will someone put a stop to Ann Coulter now? Since when is it appropriate to ask a terrorist to kill a presidential candidate?

Hey Coulter – Maybe the police should investigate you for conspiracy to committ a murder – you put it on the television airwaves for someone to come and kill Edwards. Hey idiot, murderers have killed for a lot less that your careless provacation. YOU WERE and ARE WAY OUT OF LINE! Disagree with Mr Edwards ideals but you're wrong for asking someone to kill him. If anyone owes an apology IT IS YOU!

Hey to thise television executives who give Coulter a voice – TAKE HER OFF THE AIR for being wrong. This is not about money or politics. Her comments were morally wrong! Shut her down.

ANN COULTER IS SUCH A LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!SHE IS A 2 YEAR OLD, ANY ATTENTION EVEN IF ITS BAD IS BETTER THAN NON. SHE THRIVES ON IT. SO SAD

The Leftie Circus continues!! I really needed this today . . . my favorite is the post that Ms. Coulter miseducates the "uneducated public." Not only do the postings on this board reveal lefties as hate-filled hypocrites, but it also demonstrates their patronizing attitude towards the masses . . . labeling them as uneducated. Its like lefties actually believe their propaganda. In reality, they are all just a bunch of elitist snobs who want to silence any educated opposition. Lefties don't get it!!! And Congress, finally being "won" by the Lefties has its lowest approval ratings in decades!!! Victory for the Lefties??? I don't think so.

"I can’t stand Dick Cheney but I don’t want him killed."

Read the text people. Bill Maher is the one who wished Cheney had been killed in a terrorist assassination, not Ann. This is how half of her statements get blown out of proportion. People obviously, at least the majority of CNN's readership, don't read half of what they rant and rave about, and frankly, I've seen more hatred and ignorance on this message board than I've ever heard out of Ann.

Ah. The truth comes out. I had not seen Maher say this or heard about it, and therefore, was in no position to question it.

But we have another example yet again of Coulter distorting the truth to serve her own purposes, in this case, to shift blame from herself to others.

And by the way, Maher is not a democrat. He would criticize them more but has not had the opportunity in recent years due to who has held the power in office. He is a Libertarian.

I absolutely hate Ann Coulter with every fiber of my being, and to a lesser extent those that believe or support anything she says. Coulter is a vile thing that doesn't deserve any airtime whatsoever. I'm appalled that Chris Matthews would have someone like that on the air espousing her hate-speech. I think debate, in and of itself, is a great thing that we as Americans have and should cherish. I don't have to agree with someone to support their right to speak, but what Coulter does is ALWAYS above and beyond good decent debate.

Coulter's comments consist of hate speech. These have no place in main stream media coverage. In fact they have no place except in a court of law as evidence to support hate crimes.
Quit giving this worthless type of speech airtime and website coverage, and the problem will go away on its own. No audience = no influence.

Can anyone shut this ignorant loud mouth woman up? She needs to befriend Rosie O'Donnell & Rush.

Politics is politics, but leave personal family matters out of it. What Coulter said about the Edwards on a personal level was way out of line and disrespectful. She had no right to poke fun at the tragic loss of their son, or make those sexist remarks about John Edwards, and wishing he would die in a terrorist attack. Any good, Christian conservative who usually speaks up for her, should shame her for her comments, feelings and behavior. And if Bush was a decent person and president, he should publicly shame her on her behavior, so should the whole Republican party. She was way out of line.

As a democrat, I never really cared for her in the first place, and not just for her politics, but for how she acts and treats others.

And, as usual, we find ourselves engaged in an endless shouting match. This is, of course, the reason that pundits from either side of the fence make such inflamatory remarks... After all, can anyone hear the real political mechanisms screetching above the yelling?

My point is we need to calm down, take a deep breath, and look at things from both sides. The Republicans are infuriated by years of perceived (and frequently real) stigmas. And while the party certainly has its share of unsavory characters, it isn't fair to characterize an entire group by the actions of a handfull of loud drunks mucking up the affair...

As for the Democrats, well.. I think I speak for all of us when I say we're tired of being characterized as unamerican by a conservative media that has forgotten what its striving towards in an effort to villify the opposition. Honestly, haven't we evolved enough to take a few deep breaths, down a glass of water, and try to look past the insults and discuss what is really botering us?

Both parties should be wondering what they really want right now. So come on, dear Republicans, what are you really seraching for for Christmas? For all of your friends to finally agree that Kerry really was a raging bastard, or for job security?

And Democrats, does it really matter if you finally convince all of your office buddies to put bumper stickers of Coulter sporting a moustache on their car's?

I think we all need to remember that every minute spent hashing over the scandal and distaste of the "opposition" is a minute lost that could have been used to discuss the economy, immegration, cvili rights, healthcare, and foreign policy...

no way can you tell me this was a normal call-in edwards planned this,she should talk about ethics what did she do to her neighbor because his property made hers look less valued the only way edwards can win is by sympathy votes and their remarks are just as nasty as the next liberal people in glass houses shouldn't throw bricks. Thanks Ann the truth really sinks their luxury liners

This country is heading for a revolution, seriously. We are so divided, I don't see how it can continue like this. Something's gotta give. I don't know who's going to win but I sure don't want to be on Ann Coulter's side.

Why does the media even cover Coulter? She is a truly pathetic political lackey with all the intelligence of Paris Hilton.

I'm no fan of Bill Maher, but he did not say he wished Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. Let's try to be accurate when vilifying people. Maher suggested in March that "people wouldn't be dying needlessly" if Vice President Dick Cheney had been killed in an insurgent attack in Afghanistan. I don't think that's true because I think Bush would carry on with the war no matter what happened to Cheney or anyone else, but it's NOT what Ann Coulter (and many others) have said Maher said.

Ah, Ann Coulter, the political Paris Hilton. Please stop publishing her (their) small thoughts.

edwards wife was correct as a mother, still protecting her son. stroking of hair may make her appear strong .sampson lost his hair. and what.

Maybe Bill Maher didn't get the heat you did because he is a political satirist, whereas you are simple a political sad case.

Simply making personal attacks because they are from a different political party than you should be banned, UNLESS YOU HAVE PROOF ON CERTIFIED, UNDOCTORED VIDEOTAPE.

If Anne Coulter can get a date,
she should go on one. Relax.
Keep up the good work for the Democrats. Rarely has one person
done as much as often for as many.

Is it a slow news day when Ann whatever her name is asked by the media to show up to perform circus tricks? Come on. Quit giving her stupidity and arrogance a platform. She is an ignorant and pathetic woman.
If we wanted that kind of stupidity on air we could always turn to pay-per-view. Show some intelligence CNN.

The truth can really hurt. Especially when your idea of learning about the poor involves working at hedge funds and giving $50,000 lectures on poverty. Not to mention running a political campaign using funds from an organization supposedly created to help the poor.

Go figure a guy with access to so much cash can't have the decency or brains to do things the right way.

AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, WHEN IT COMES TO COULTER, SHE IS BENEATH COMMENT.

Nutcase. Too easy to pick on her. But I have to note that she obviously doesn't know the difference between "comedian" (Maher), and "political commentator" (supposedly her).

That sad truth about Ann Coulter is that as long the media keep placing a camera and microphone in front of her, we the public, will continue to be doused with her sick brand of hatred. Shame on Chris Matthews and MSNBC for allowing this relic of hate-based politics one more whack and the viewing public's pinata.

Ann Coulter. A disgusting human being.

Maybe he is mad because they won't let him play in Hanson anymore.

Ann Coulter was a joke before this. Unfortunately, she's now reinvented herself as a parody of a joke, which, for some silly reason, is still getting media airtime.

Listen, the fact is Anne Coulter is like a child in her need for attention. And like a child she cannot tell the difference between GOOD attention and BAD attention. She just wants attention and she will blurt out outragous statments, books, and opinoins to get them. Daddy issues?

I love it how democrats jump all over someone for doing the same exact thing they do. I remeber a dem stating that he wished Cheney had been killed by the attempted attack in Afganstan. How is that any different- Always a one way road with dems-

Hooray to Elizabeth Edwards for eloquently and graciously addressing Ann Coulter in her initial request to A. Coulter to please refrain from such vile remarks.

Ms. Coulter is soulless. One wonders how this middle-aged woman became so dishonorable.

Count the number of Coulter supporters here and you roughly come up with Bushs popularity %. I would wager that the same % of red staters that have sex with animals is the same. Keep spewing lies and hate and the Dems will control this country for many ,many years.

How can NBC associate itself with this person wishing Mr. Edwards be killed in a terriorist attack, disgusting, for the good of the country keep her off the air.

The majority of us are not issuing personal attacks on Coulter, but on her writing, which deliberately perpetrates lies to the uneducated american public. Her shock writing works because people who don't follow politics hear about the front page article but don't hear about the correction printed two days later after it is discovered to be erroneous.

And for the few that are issuing personal attacks, yes, they are wrong; but is there anybody that deserves it more?

Ann Coulter is an idiot. When are we going to stop pay attention to this -–??

Why is anyone listening to this woman? What has she done?

In my mind, she is the Paris Hilton of Politics. She is famous for being famous.

Furthermore, she is desparately trying to stay famous by saying stupid, nasty things. I am very disappointed that CNN is even talking about her.

There are some very serious things going on in the world. Can we focus on them instead of this parasite?!

If Ms. Coleter wants to be taken sersiously she should learn to quit playing with her hair while on air and take off the sunglasses.

I sure Ann loves all the attention you lefties are giving her. Your making her rich!!

She is Michael Moores opposite in every way, especially in the truth department. Keep up the good work Ann..

Ann Coulter only appeals to knuckle-draggers. Folks like her are great actually to make the few remaining educated folks leave the Republican party... People like Coulter have lead to the Republican Party's shame. Republican's paid the price last November and they are on pace to pay a bigger price in '08.

I never had heard of Ann Coulter, after reading some of her comments, I wish I still never heard of her. For her to take slams at Elizabeth Edwards dead son, is about as low and mean as anyone can go. She obviously says as many rotten things as she can to draw attention to herself in order to put more dollars in her pocket. But common sense should tell her how far down she can go without coming up looking like dirt herself. I wonder what her friend Barbara Olson would tell her if she was here now.

What a joke!! I laugh at all the hypocritical hate-filled venom spewing from the Lefties on this board and directed towards the undeniably brilliant and intelligent Ms. Coulter. All of these lefties scream, rant, and complain that the media gives Ms. Coulter too much attention, yet the fools continually respond to all articles referencing Ms. Coulter. Clearly, THEY are watching her. Also, I find it comical that they say Ms. Coulter makes hateful comments, yet they repeatedly degrade her with personal attacks (often sexist). If only the lefites would take a look in the mirror . . .

Elizabeth Edwards is a woman of such
intellect and grace! I applaud her,
and wish that Ann Coulter's cruel
and baseless rants would stop - she
contributes nothing to a useful
discussion of any issue, as far as I can see, and has made her career on her
increasingly ridiculous attacks on people

If saying that someone is whining is your only answer you obviously have nothing intelligent to say on the subject.

What do you think Coulter is doing now? Whining that Maher can say something she can't, not apoligizing for what she did say, or admitting fault in what she said.

In my opinion, Ann Coulter should SHUT UP!

AMERICANS SHOULD DEMAND that the nastiness and MISinformation NOT BE ALLOWED during these campaigns. WE NEED THE TRUTH and ANN COULTER in my opinion HAS YET to speak any truths. Sadly, some Americans don't have a brain of their own and tend to believe her...sad

ANN COULTER should not be allowed to make money spreading such NASTY NASTY tales... she should be ashamed.

Run the whole quote CNN and not just the part that makes Ann look evil. That is pathetic on your part and all media these days!!!!!!!!! Why don't you guys give us the facts and just the WHOLE FACTS and let the American people decide instead of running what your SLANTED point is. It is amazing that you can't show the entire "QUOTE"-talk about "FAIR AND EQUAL" news casting. Good job CNN!!

An embodiment of all that's wrong with politics in this country, to say the least. Ms. Coulter is brilliant in that she knows exactly how to manipulate American audiences for their money – by making outrageous comments on radio and television, promoting books with even more obscene suggestions about people with whom she disagrees, and responding to her critics with fiery and hateful cynicism. The worst part of it is that there are people on both sides of the political spectrum who have come to the same conclusion that hate and intolerance sell. It's quite possible these individuals don't even believe the ludicrous waste that spews from their mouths; these are people that will say anything to make a buck, and at the head of their vile quest for the almighty dollar is the nefarious Ann Coulter. Shameful, absolutely shameful.

Ann Coulter deserves air time about as much as Lohan, Hilton, and Spears. She knows only how to get a reaction while possessing no talent or substance. A rebuttal for her in an argument, since she can't make a legitimate or logical point, is to personally attack the opposition. People need to recognize how simple and shallow she really is and quit paying her for it!

Consider this: Coulter is an actor, hired by non-Republicans to help Republicans look even worse. She spews ugly, evil and non-christian messages while wearing their colors, and none of the constituency condemns her messages! Personally, I sincerely hope she continues her great work. It is only a matter of time and the decent American population will surely throw them out of office!! Ann, please keep up the good work.

I think that any comment Ann Coulter has to make should NOT be published or aired on T.V. We should erase her from the political scene as well as the public scene. Anyone who can say such horrible things about another human-being and to wish their death openly or otherwise shows that she is less of a human being and should not be given any more attention. Write her off, she's hardly worth the trouble. She seems to be nothing but an attention seeker who does more harm than good. Why do we focus on people of this caliber? By giving her any attention at all, positive or negative, we fuel the fire and she continues this bad behavior because she evidently thrives on attention, good or bad. Can we just forget about Ann Coulter and her foul mouth and rude comments and death wishes. If no one listens, she'll have no one to talk to but herself.

Please! To compare Coulter to Moore is completely unfair. A far better comparison is Ann Coulter and the unfunny and crude "L'il Bush." Michael Moore is light years more sophisticated, insightful, and fair than Coulter.

wah wah wah – Does Johnny needs his wife to defend him. Not exactly very presidential. Take a deep breath, go get your hair done, relax. How would you deal with criticism if you were elected. Better get thicker skin!

How can anyone think Coulter is "brilliant"?!?! Give me a break! She is a bottom-feeding, button-pushing, amoral slim bag who dances to the tune of the evil money-grubbing empire that is consuming our nation. The degradation of our political system and of public discourse is a tragedy and if Americans continue to fail to oppose it we will continue to decline as a nation with people like Coulter leading the parade. Why anyone would respect the political opinion of someone who takes pot-shots at a politician over his dead son is beyond me. There is a big difference between legitimate political debate and senseless personal attacks.

Did Mr. Matthews know Mrs. Edwards was going to call in? If he did, did the program people let Ms. Coulter know? If not, shame on them. I don't know how anyone ever gets to know what anyone thinks on either side when Ann Couler is on. She seems to get one sentence out and then it's all about who can talk louder and faster. The little I do hear from her lips makes me wonder why anyone would have her on their show or purchase her books. It is sad to say, but hate and negativity sells more than optimism and goodness. I know that different viewpoints (liberal/conservative)need to be on opposing shows, but, in order for the viewpoint and/or topic to be intelligently discussed, perhaps the days when your opposition viewpoint person is on your show, you should not have opponents on that show. I am not an Edwards fan. I am not a Coulter fan. I enjoy Hardball when it is intelligent and informative. When it sinks into general, everyday stupidity, it makes me sad and, on occasion, angry. I only have so much time, I hate to waste it on stupidity. Having two (or more) people trying to talk at the same time and saying nothing is just stupidity.

MSNBC is more conservative than liberal. CNN is more liberal than conservative. FOX is off the chart. Wouldn't an objective, fair minded person want to watch all 3 viewpoints and decide the issue for themselves. And just wondering, if you don't watch CNN, what are doing on their website?

Ann Coulter exemplifies what the rest of the world hates about America... All mouth, arrogance, mean spirited ... someone who if not here would make America greater. Since she knows it all, and believes we are winning in Iraq, Send her there and let her speak on the street of Baghdad. The result would be that America would be better

Ann Coulter lacks the political, cultural and intellectual depth to be taken seriously. Name calling and shocking people with such cruel language is clearly a sign of a self-centered person craving attention. Let her be and she will self-destruct in her own ignorance.

Why pay attention to Ann, she trying to sell her books by been a witch…
She just another character seeking a little attention by been outrageous
and controversial. The problem with Ann is that she goes too far,
she is hurtful, hateful and arrogant. There are bigger problems in this country.
People will get tired of the between her teeth and her bull soon enough.

The same people angry with Coulter are the people that go out and buy Michael Moore's crud.

Who's the freak now?

Ann Coulter doesn't deserve a response. She is the absence of class and should be ignored.

Let us not forget that CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS etc... all CHOOSE to put these hatemongers on TV. Why, you may ask? Because it generates RATINGS which lines their pockets with cash. They don't do it for any other reason. They don't care about promoting the public discourse, that's so very obvious.

Those in charge are as much to blame, even more so than the lame guest politcal commentator. So SHAME on the TV EXEC's too.

Interesting how Edward's wife was able to get on the Hardball show, "at Random" Normal American's are intelligent enough to know that was a setup. Ann went on the show in 'enemy' territory and was attacked or ambushed, you might say in a set up. Thank goodnes, I do not watch CNN or MSNBC – stations, that in my opinion, are not newsworthy reporters.

I wouldn't give Ann Coulter the dignity of a response...she is low class and I wish the media would just ignore her...perhaps she'll go away.

This person is another example of the blatant hypocrisy that plagues the Republican political machine. I would have more respect for the far-right religious groups if they were to publicly condemn the awful and hateful garbage that comes from Coulter's mouth. Shame on them for not holding their spokespeople to higher, more christlike standards.

A lot of people are asking, "Why even respond to Ann Coulter?"

There really is a reason to, and it's called Swift Boating. Karl Rove and the rest of his friends know the Democrats had a history of not responding to lies, distortions or mean-spirited comments, so they keep doing it, and some of it sticks.

I think Rove was a little surprised when they tried the same thing earlier this year with Obama, and Obama wasted less than a day to respond.

John Kerry would have won in 2004 if he hadn't waited weeks and weeks to respond to the Swift Boat lies, and as a result, many now think there was truth to that. By Obama fighting back hard on the Madrassa issue, I think Karl now knows this one has a backbone.

And, don't worry, we'll soon see more lies about Obama.

Anyway, that's why you respond to Coulter. If you don't, her parts of her evil comments stick. Trust me, a few people in America agree with Coulter here. If you don't fight back, those numbers grow.

Honestly, folks. What makes what Ann Coulter says any different than what someone like Rosie O'Donnell says? Rosie has a much wider audience and she can tell the world that she believes there 'really was a conspiracy with the twin towers because steel can't melt and the reports generated by the engineers and scientists were probably hiding the truth.' ( to paraphrase her statements on the View). Agree or disagree – let the people who listen decide. Don't get so riled.

Coulter can debase politics and politicians, but what she doesnt realize is that without those politicians she wouldnt have the right to run her annoying mouth, no matter what good anyone does she will just debase them anyway...... i wonder how much her speech fees are....personally i would pay for her to shut up

Just when you think she can't go down any further, Ann Coulter proves you were wrong. She's at the point of being able to walk under a snake in the grass.

Hooray for Ann!!! They can't take it, keep it up, hear them whine.....she is a ripper the libs cannot argue with, Keep it up Ann..round one to you. Tell the truth on that crook Edwards, a thief in a suit, a trila attorney

Irony cuts doesn't it!
If you can't stand the heat GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN.

Didn't the AP do something where for a certain amount of time, they ignored Paris Hilton, and got a warm reception? Why don't all news organization, media outlets and publishing companies just ignore "Ms." Colter? PERMANENTLY

Any discussion about Ann Coulter only serves to reinforce her thoughts, words, and actions. Much like Pavlov's dogs, she is salivating at the very thought that she has angered so many.

I see nothing redeeming in Coulter. Nothing.

Elizabeth Edwards should take her cue from Theresa Heinz Kerry – She didn't do her husband any good either!

Coulter time & time again, proves that she is a knuckle dragging, synaptically challenged buffoon. She lowers the bar, no matter what side of the political spectrum you're on, to a level where even high school students would find childish. It boggles my mind that she has an audience whatsoever & is an embarrassment to any form of media. The American media dictates the American public's opinion far more than any other country & with remarks like hers actually being adhered to by the conservative extremes , is a frightening example of how far the bar has been lowered.

Anne Coultur cannot affect the world if we do not give her voice a presense in the media. My goal is to listen not to stations and commentators who give her a platform. Peace will not come by the lips of Anne Coultur. Peace can only come by the higher expectation of love with human kind tapping into their higher intuitions.

The easiest way to get her off TV is for us NOT TO WATCH! Turn off the TV. Read a book, go volunteer somewhere.

I despise hatemongers, Democratic or Republican – they are the lowest and most vile people around.

Ann Coulter is just the BULLY on the playground of politics in this instance. She speaks with no self control or respect for others. She has crossed the line in this instance of talking about John Edwards deceased son. Leave their personal life alone!!!

Ann Coulter is not a comedian; Bill Maher is. Ann Coulter is a conservative commentator. Unfortunately, that means Ann Coulter does not get to make similiar jokes. She might want to be more aware of that the next time she is interviewed by a family morning news/talk show like Good Morning America. Bill Maher has enough sense to refrain from making such statements during shows like that.

Or perhaps Maher didn't take the heat due to a little word called sexism. But Coulter would NEVER admit sexism exists and is alive and well.

How is this idiot still on the air, when Don Imus (not a favorite by any stretch, but still, to be fair) is off? Why is she pulling Bill Maher into this? Her verbal diarrhea is disturbing, because her goal is not to be a healthy creative voice of reason, but to knock down whichever target is in her path, like a bizarre tornado of a mind gone really wrong. To that end, I guess excepting money for destructive criticism is acceptable- most antisocial people believe they are right in their craziness. Makes you wonder what went wrong in her family, which secrets are hidden.

Coulter belongs in a mental institution with heavy security. She really is one weird sicko!

Good heavens – why is that Coulter woman even allowed to be on TV? Any racist-bigot can say the things she's saying. Why is it allowed when Isaiah Washington lost his job over it, and others have been publicly denounced and held accountable? Just because she has the right to say vile things doesn't mean she should, nor does it make her right.

It doesn't matter if Ann Coulter were a Democrat saying that about a Republican, joking about terrorism and death is never a funny matter. Not to mention, Ann Coulter is a disgrace to the journalism profession and her beloved GOP.

Ann Coulter should be arrested by the FBI for making comments about assasination. John Q. Public would be!

I commend Mrs. Edwards and her conduct in politely asking her to stop the personal attacks.

Thanks to Man Coulter I'm voting
for John Edwards and contributing to the Edwards campaigne. Elizabeth will make a wonderfull first lady!!!

I find it rather funny that Don Imus gets lambasted by the entire American public for his racist comments, but somehow Americans find enough tolerance for hate-filled, Nazi-like rhetoric coming from Ann Coulter. I'm surprised XM or Sirius haven't offered her a contract for her talk show.

What truly saddens me is that the type of rhetoric being used by Ms. Coulter is not reflective of those who love this nation. Yes, we all have freedom of speech; however, whenever Ms. Coulter is on a program, I change channels. Her words are caustic, cruel and I feel at times, threatening. Although I am a lifelong Republican, I firmly stand behind Elizabeth Edwards on this one. I've admired Mrs. Edwards since day one.

Ann Coulter is an idot! Why does anyone give her air time?

Maher is a comedian; Coulter is a fascist.

if all of you stopped allowing this women air time, the world would be uplifted. how pathetic can one person get and then she gets to be that way for other to see and hear.

All of the political mudslinging that occurs, be it from the left or right, is juvenile and pointless and detracts from the real issues, which is what Ms.Edwards communicated rather eloquently. To capitalize on the tragedy of a family, regardless of your opinion of that family, demonstrates a lack of conscience. Perhaps Ann needs to be evaluated for Antisocial Personality Disorder and undergo an intensive counseling program.

Anne Coulter is just a sad, sick woman.

Coulter has hit a new low, though why am I not surprised. She makes her money by deliberately mis-quoting people, and taking statements made out of context. After reading Franken's section on her, I will never trust a word she prints without going to the source in question. She even puts quotes from different paragraphs together to get the desired effect for her readers.

Whether or not Maher is joking or not is irrelevant, what she is saying is wrong. Thats like saying that I have an excuse for murder because OJ got away with it. Shift the blame Coulter, its the only way you can respond.

And I am not a liberal. I have viewpoints that agree with Rep and viewpoints that agree with Dem. Unlike so many in America today, I listen to facts about the issue and make up my mind for myself, rather than believing what someone else tells me.

I am a republican who is SICK of Ann Coulter. She is way to far to the right on to many issues. When can we find somone who will speak for the people in the middle. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find anyone yet. Ann Coulter does not speak for me. I think she is rude, and has no right to make such stupid comments. She is one of the reasons that the republican party looks so stupid!

I don't think Elizabeth Edwards was asking Ms Coulter to stop talking, but I agree that she could raise the bar, as could other journalist to encourage interest in politics and important issues our nation faces. There was a time when you voted based on what your party stood for but it is had to see the difference at times. It is always sad when people result to name calling or attacks one's character and reputation to gain acceptance.

"The problem with our nation today is that liberals want to run everything and take God out of everything"

The problem with our nation today is that Conservatives ARE RUNNING EVERYTHING!! I don't mind GOD being in everything but who religious beliefs are we going to follow. If I'm jewish, I don't want catholics forcing their beliefs on me just as catholics wouldn't want me forcing my jewish beliefs on them.
You just how narrow minded and backward thinking some conservatives are.

"If you cannot take the heat than stay out of the kitchen! What Coulter has said about Edwards has been right on!

Or, just turn off the oven.

Anyone who even thinks that one word from Coulter's mouth is about ANYTHING but complete hatred should be ashamed.

By this explicit support of terrorist acts, Ms. Coulter shows that she wants a foreign religious/political party to influence the leadership of the United States of America. Her comment is a prime example of the carnival freak sideshow that the Radical Right Wing of the Republican party has become.

We wonder why is country is heading in the direction it is. We the people of this country are constantly boosting the ego of Anne Coultier and those like her. We should boycott all those programs(Talk shows) that give these people the time of day. Want a story, what is this country going to do when 1 million pissed off vets return home,and their country has no jobs for them. Many of those vets will return leave the military only to find that their past lives are no longer. It won't be the terrorist that government will have to fear, it will be its' own citizens. To many of us middle class we can see it comming, alot of dissatifaction with government, local/state and the feds. Time for polical leaders to think about us here at home.

Let me get this straight. It's OK for a liberal to publicly say that he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack, but it's not OK for Ann C. to say something bad against Edwards – a liberal. My question is this....why didn't Mrs. Edwards call Bill Maher and chastize him just as vehemently for what he said as she did Ms. Coulter? Oh, that's right....the Liberal Mantra – "do as I say, not as I do." There's always a double standard with liberals.

Ignoring Ann Coulter or anyone only works if we shut off the TV any time the media gives her air time. Money talks and that's the bottom line...I am so tired of seeing her face and her trashy comments that I won't stay on a station where they validate her by actually asking her opinion. Frankly, I don't care what her opinion is because she can't express it without sounding like a rude, obnoxious moron. Elizabeth Edwards shouldn't be wasting her time acknowledging that Ann even exists. John Edwards isn't going to get votes from anyone who actually listens to Ann anyway. It will only backfire on them...

Ann Coulter is nothing but a bully. She could have easily starred in the "Mean Girls" movie. It seems as she never got past that queen bee act that some girls take on in high school. Does she make fun of the handicapped and pull wings off flies too?

When the other side gave the backhanded compliment to Cheney about his lesbian daughter, the far right was up in arms. Yet, when one of their own makes a sarcastic comment about a dead child, they think it should pass? I'm not a fan of Mr. Edwards, but I think his wife was spot on. I don't know if I could have been as civil as she is someone made a 'joke' about my dead child.

We need people like Ann Coulter who aren't afraid to be straightforward about some of the stupidity in our government." Are you serious? Has Ann commented on the incredible incompetence of the current administration? She reserves her vitriol for Democrats alone.
Ann Coulter is pathetic and should be ignored.

Coulter's joke about John Edwards being killed by terrorists is simply unacceptable. Her approach makes all her arguements pointless and worthless. I congratulate Ms. Elizabeth Edwards standing up to her.

In the name of Ann Coulter, I just donated 25 dollars to the Edwards campaign. Ann should be ashamed of herself.

No way, I think she hurts the cause by being mean. She could learn a lot about class by watching how Michelle Malkin and Laura Ingraham (to name a few) go about their business.

They floor you with nothing but the truth, and it usually hurts the liberals, but they also are not afraid to hammer the conservatives (see immigration bill).

Why WASTE any time at all with this nonsense. Does anyone really care what this wantabe
blabs about? She should spend her time and energy being doing something important. There is enough garbage on TV now!

I don't support Coulter, and I believe that many of her comments are made in intentionally ambiguous ways. But those of us who insult her are merely reinforcing the idea that the way to approach discourse is through shocking words and disgusting language. Food for thought.

Go Ann!

In likening her comments to those of Bill Maher, I guess Ann Coulter is trying to make it clear that she's just a comedian, not a political columnist.

who is actually paying Coulters salary, because she is no better than the shock jocks that every one complains about and takes off the air. They should do the same with her. I have no problem with free speech, but aren't we all striving to better society and make a better world. All she does, (to get ratings or attention – like a spoiled child) is demean people and brings us all down as a whole. I you can't talk like a civilized, educated person, and get your views across without being an idiot, then get them off the airways. What kind of an example is she to our children? Does she have children? Is she proud of the example she gives to them? Let her have her voice and freedom of speech just someone educate her a little, with some manners!

CNN only played "what she learned" not what it was based on.

Do conservatives really think she's hot? Holy snikey!

Please, please – is there nothing that Ann Coulter will not say or do just to get air time and earn more money? She, and all those from both sides who use dishonesty and cruelty to become/stay famous are the reasons that American politics is such a worldwide joke. Stick to the issues – God knows there are enough to go around – and leave this trashy behaviour at home.

If you cannot take the heat than stay out of the kitchen! What Coulter has said about Edwards has been right on!

OK, come on – I gotta say sometimes she cracks me up, other times she pushes the lid some. But its real simple: you can listen or not and you can respond to what she says or not – that is your right. But by God she has the right to stand up and say or write anything she wants – she is an American. She could check herself from time to time and have some empathy when it comes to some topics and she knows that. I can't understand why CNN or MSNBC hasn't snapped her up to host a real show and get rid of the namby pamby hosts who won't ask real questions or make un-politically correct statements. Meet the Press, give me a break...how about Meet the Dress. Ha! The ONLY newsman out there close to her is Olbermann. They should date.

I believe people reap what they sow.
Ann is no different than Don Imus.
Always using her brillant brain to "win" instead of help.
I wouldn't want to sow what she probably will.

Ann Coulter's latest comments are just another example of how political dialogue in the American media has denegrated to the level of TV wrestling and so-called "reality" shows - it's loud...it's obnoxious...and it's phony.

Coulter is the most arrogant and stupid woman writer today. I do not know what backwater she was raised in but she has not matured past the age of 16. Anything goes in her line of rudeness and unpolished culture."if you are not thinking like me" attitude you are fair game for bashing. Thank you,Elizabeth.

What has this country come to? What has the human race in America come to? These horrible "death" wishes and nasty remarks the likes of which a 6-year-old would be punished for, are coming out of the mouths, minds, and hearts????? (do they have hearts?) of people who have access to the media to broadcast this trash talk so that our young people and young adults can hear it!!! And we are asking "what is wrong with our teens and young adults-take a listen and watch, and you-all should know!!!! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, all the way around!!! It makeS me want to vomit. I am glad my young grandchildren's and great- grandchildren's TV time is well-monitored. ONLY IN AMERICA--

I am sick of the arguments and insults. If you can't honor the president and vice president for a mere four year period whether you like them or not, you need to examine your patriotic conscience. While I do not at all condone the rhetoric and insults that I have read from A. Coulter, I also do not condone the heinous acts that some dems look the other way at. Abortion, embryonic stem cell research. Come on! Creating a little baby to harvest its organs so you can think you have finally found your fountain of youth. That is truly despicable. Especially when adult stem cell have been tried and work in many recoveries. A woman that received a ten minute adult stem cell replacement recovered from cancer, receiving a new immune system. Hurray!!

This Ann Coulter is just a cheap version of that Rush guy. They will say anything in order to get on the air ways to make their self seem important and to make a easy buck just by opening their foul mouths. The sad thing about this is that you folks in the media just feed off of this crap. Those two people mentioned above are just idiots and should not even be paid attention to.

You go Ann. Never stop letting people know what idiots liberals really are. The problem with liberals are that they can dish it out but can't take it. The problem with our nation today is that liberals want to run everything and take God out of everything. They are killing our nation. Keep doing what you do, Ann.

Ann Coulter is a discredit to true conservatives, who are trying to convince, with logic and reason, the American public of the sense of conservative causes and issues. Coulter fits the stereotype of a "bad conservative;" someone who loves this country and hates 95% of the people in it.

Wow! Coulter just raised tons of money for John Edwards!

Clearly Ann Coulter has mental health issues. I don't understand why she is on TV. Everytime she's on TV, she denegrates the discussion and makes the host look bad.

I think Ann Coulter's personal attacks are vile and disgusting but what I think is even worse is that CNN and Hardball would invite her to speak to the nation and the rest of the world knowing that she has a habit of making grotesque personal attacks. What happened to reporting the news? What happened to ethics? Why can't there be civil dialogue on TV? It's like watching Fox News. Shame on you CNN!

In response to Alex in Chicago,
I was not aware that John Edwards son had died. If he constantly brings it up I don't understand why, when I watched him and Elizabeth on the Tonight Show just this past Monday, I heard nothing about it. Also, below is a quote from an article on the AP:
By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press Writer
Updated: 1:12 p.m. CT March 29, 2007
"Wade’s name is spoken frequently in the Edwards household, those close to them say, alive in the memories of his parents and sister and even well-known by two siblings born after his death. But Edwards had been hesitant to bring his oldest son into his political life, even though by many accounts Wade inspired his father to run for office."
If the number of wives Rudy Giuliani has had, the fact the Mitt Romney is a Morman, or the color of Obama's skin matters in this political campaign then why does the fact that John Edwards son died in a car accident not?

Elizabeth Edwards is annoying me. She seems blind and driven by ambition, and desperate to exploit everything. I saw her the other night on Jay Leno, and when he asked about Hillary's "Sopranos" video on her website, Elizabeth Edwards said something like "No, but come see our website." Ugh.

When people finally come to their senses and stop listening and paying money to Ann Coulter, she will blow away like a dust mote, leaving nothing behind. That is her legacy: NOTHING.

If you news honchos would stop putting Ann Coulter on the air, who would pay attention to her?

I agree that the networks need to stop giving this stupid woman air time. Please move on beyond Coulter and Hilton. Young women need to start seeing better role models. (There really are smart women in the world.)

When I hear remarks like the ones Ann Coulter spews I just remember to consider the source of the remarks and don't let them get to me. This woman is irrelevant but she makes news because our news organizations love this stuff....

BOTH Maher amd Coulter's comments are wrong. I'm not sure whether I'm angry at them for such ignorant and childish comments, or that they are offered platforms to make the comments in the first place!

Ann Coulter is sick and twisted and needs mentasl help

Ann Coulter is the worst of: in any scenario, she hates and inflames and incites and I think she needs love from someone because she is so very hateful. But, I think even a mother would have a hard time loving her.

She is nothing more than a content-free tool.

I too wish Ann Coulter would stop the personal attacks. Thank you Elizabeth Edwards for trying to politely ask her to stop. I think anyone watching this interview can see who is trying to be kind, respectful, and courteous, and who is not. We should all boycott anything Ann Coulter and just realize that not all Republicans use the meanspirited and cruel words she uses to describe her opponents.

Ann Coulter is a horrific person

"John Edwards appear on Hannity and Colmes where there are at least liberal and conservative co-hosts.
I see Fuax News has you dupped!! theres no such thing as liberal and conservative on that station. It's already been proven time and again that when liberals are on Fox shows that they have almost no air time to speak their peace and that their remarks are edited out to fit with Fox wants to say. Why show Edwards have to prove anything when Man Coulter did the first mud slinging. If I know coulter's on a show I just don't watch that show.

Ann coulter just sells books by her ridiclous rantings. The Media just fans the flames by allowing her to be interviewed. What a Hack she is..she may be the best excuse for abortion I have ever seen!

If the Edwards campaign wants to be fair, they would post Bill Maher's comments next to the 2 of Coulter's.

I dislike this girl. She's rude and brings low-class to something very serious in a time where leadership matters to our soldiers overseas and their families. She's just a distraction. Her input into the presidential situation is low-brow and un-intelligent.

Everyone, candidates and news outlets, should simply refuse to give this woman any more of their time. She is useless at best, harmful at worst, and does not deserve to profit off of her cruel, degrading comments. She complains that Bill Maher did not take heat for wishing Dick Cheney had died in a terrorist attack; the difference, short-skirted pundit, is that Bill Maher is a comedian first and foremost. You are supposed to be an educated news pundit whose language strives first to inform, not to entertain. She should be ashamed of herself for many things she has said and for the way she is using her time on Earth, but she should be shut out from all media for her most recent, humanity-degrading comments.

Funny how you Bush/conservative/Republican haters use the broad brush when Coulter speaks, maybe you should listen to her whole interview where she hammers Bush and Republicans and the idiocy on the immigration bill and other things.

That would be like me unfairly grouping all of you with Rosie O'Donnell when she said the "terrorists are just like you and I" and Bill Maher when he said that the terrorists "were really brave" when the crashed planes into buildings killing innocent AMERICANS.

Don't hand me the BS that they are comics as that didn't work when that known comic Imus said what he said.

They fancy themselves as entertainers and writers etc, etc, just like Coulter does.

Edwards does force his childs tragic death into the conversation, he does charge a fee of $50,000 to discuss poverty, he did get a $400 haircut (2 America's, you better believe it) and he did manipulate jurors with junk science and trickery to build his fortune.

Many of you are pointing out her appearance as if it is relevent, when she does it to make a point (no matter how valid) it is wrong, just like it is for all of you to do.

Bill Mahr is a comedian. Ann Coulter supposedly is a serious political commentator. That's why his remarks are laughed at while hers get political attention.

This is just another ploy by the extreme right to get the general population upset about the un-important. This is done to keep you all busy over here while they get you into a war against a noun (terror). Question to Ann....what are the "end of war" parameters on a noun? I guess the whole "Articles of War" are obsolete now. hmmm.

Thank goodness !!! Mrs. Edwards stepped up to the plate and politely asked Ms. Coulter to refrain from remarks that help NO ONE and only causes more problems.

My 18 year daughter made the comment that Ms. Coulter is tall and thin and may be predisposed to Marfan syndrome which may explain her behavior.

I suggest to you, Ms. Coulter, that you tend to your needs and keep your nose out of everyone else's business
unless you have something to say that might possibly help someone.

My daughter can't wait to vote for the first time to change the world.

Ann Coulter, like much of her imbecillic fanbase, does not understand the meaning of accountability. When Mrs. Edwards politely asked her to stop the nasty tone of her comments, Ann immediately starts playing the victim and pretends her freedom of speech is being violated. Nobody stopped her from speaking; they just *asked* that she tone down the venom. Apparently, she is unable to do so, since all she has going for her is creating outrage. She has no intelligence, no ideas, and logic is not on her side, so she just enrages people instead. Conservatives used to always talk about personal responsiblity, but somewhere along the line they forgot about that, and have become a bunch of victims and whiners instead. The few remaining Republicans who still have integrity have my sympathy for having Ann Coulter purporting to speak for them. That's gotta be almost as embarrassing as the abyssmal performance of their president.

This is the problem with our media. One idiot speaks and for days we hear every possible take. Those of us who understand Coulter is a publicity seeking nobody trying to be somebody and none of us care. Her best publicity would be to find a real job.

CNN does not mention the more disgusting elements of Ann Coulter's remarks that Elizabeth Edwards commented on, mainly the comment that the Edwards should make a campign bumper sticker that says, "Ask me about my Dead Child" Truly Ann is sick. It doesn't matter what Bill Maher said, it doesn't absolve Ann From her own idiotic remarks, and as an attorney who should understan rhetoric, she sould know this.

ann coulters remarks are that of a very vindictive person.she should find something else to do as she is no good at this

Ms. Coulter is a shame to the those on the right side of the political aisle. She is a crude, childish loudmouth who does good conservatives more harm than good. I advise her to take the high road and silence herself. Afterall, she's only an entertainer, not a thought leader. Perhaps conservative leaders should remind her of this fact.

Whether you are conservative or liberal please consider this – Dignity, respect, common goal (toward our nation), should be the foundation of politics. Sadly, Ann Coulter is just one of many who have kicked these pillars out from under the political process.
I am simply glad I am not her – I would not like muself very much.

Coulter is an embarrassment and is polarizing simply to justify her existence to conservatives and to fatten her wallet. Keep it up, Ann, so people can see exactly what some conservatives really stand for: fear, hatred, and bigotry.

Let's see, I've seen comments about Ms. Coulter being "Moran" (sic), "Vile", a "Cess-Pool", she's "Irrelevant", she's a "Republican Hack".

She definately has a way of expressing her opinion in a way that makes the left curl up and cry like babies calling her all kind of names.

But when Al Fraken, Bill Mahar, and the likes say vile things about people they don't like, Republicans a strong enough to ignore them and move on.

Geeze!! Stop the Whining people. She is intitled to her opinion and free speech. If you don't like her, don't listen to her or read her books. Your demands that CNN stop giving her air time is rediculous. She has enough of a following that the new media is going to give her air time......DEAL WITH IT!!

Coulter gives the impression of a needy, lonely woman. She's leaves most people thinking that she doesn't want to think things through in an organized fashion. She seems to leap to extremist remarks whenever she can. I guess she gets more attention that way. It's sad to watch, really.

Ann loves to point out that liberals won't discuss issues because when confronted they always lose and yet when Ann discusses issues she reverts to the lowest denominator, that of name calling and slander.

Ann is a wealthy woman. That's a fact. She isn't going to stop debasing herself simply for the fact that she makes a lot of money doing so.

I tend to agree that John Edwards is a bit on the mamby pamby side but I don't need to go on Fox news and slander him. All I need to do is let John know how I feel by not voting for him.

Please do a little bit of research before making a statement about hypocrisy. $50,000 is nothing in the world of speakers who are high in demand. How much do you think Powell makes for each of his speaking engagements, or the former President Bush? Or how much do you think the DefJam Record label founder makes when he speaks at colleges about music history in America?

Very sorry but her comment was oblivious and pointless.

Please stop giving this woman press time. We should stop giving attention to Right Wing and Left Wing talking heads who want nothing more than to bask in the glory of their attention seeking absurd and hateful statements. Let's focus on the real issues.

Speaking of Don Imus - at least he had the sense to apologize when he knew his comments where over the top. I can't believe msnbc has put on "puddin mouth" Joe Scarborough in his place. He's nice and all but boring!!! I can't watch any of the junk on in the morning now.
Coulter just likes to get a rise out of people. She doesn't really ever say anything of substance nor can she back up her arguements with fact just slander. As soon as I saw her face on Hardball last night I changed the channel - thank god for DVR. *s*
I do think Coulter has some real mental issues, she is so angry and self-righteous. hmmm, wonder what's in her closet?

Ann Coulter strikes me as a woman that is filled with self loathing, similar to all of those staunch conservative religious leaders that Bush courts, speaking out against homosexuals only to be gay themselves. Perhaps Ann and Mary Cheney do have more in commen than meets the eye?
Her vindictive diatribes are reminisent of the KKK and Adolf Hitler, she is another example of why we left the US and moved to a country that truly understands democracy and equality.
I respect the way Elizabeth and John Edwards have candidly spoken of the loss of their son and the battles they have faced with Mrs. Edwards cancer. As for the speaking fees, I do believe that the Edwards have given back many times those amounts to the impovrished of North Carolina by establishing and supporting programs there that aid in bettering the lives of those that are less fortunate.
What has Ann given back?

Ok, all I have to say is that I can't beleive that people can be so mean. And I'm not only referring to Ann Coulter and others, but the people commenting here. Be the better person. I will have to say that I am completely offended that anyone would even joke about someone dying in a terrorist attack. Show some respect.

Thank God this country still has Ann Coulters !!!

Hate to say it but when she's right she's right. Even if you don't like what she is saying liberal commentators (like that freak Bill Maher) are doing the same thing and not being persecuted like she is.

One thing everyone should realize about Ann Coulter. She is laughing all the way to the bank. Back in the pre-media, pre-internet days, back before a woman could be outspoken, in her stead would be the local rabble rouser courting (and conning) the poor, the dispossessed, and the opinionated of the world.
Today, with the internet, shock media, and the 24 hour news cycle, anyone, with any message, can take it on the road. Couple that with a little smarts, a little salesmanship and bingo, you're making millions off of the backs of those same groups of people.
It is all the same, whether it is Ann Coulter,Howard Stern, Don Imus, or one of a dozen more shock jocks. People are willing to pay big bucks to hear trash talk.
That's the American Dream, isn't it, to make a million, in the easiest way possible

Coulter is one of the most offensive individuals out there. Why anyone would pay notice to the ignorant crap that spews out of her mouth is beyond me, does she here herself?

Ann Coulter has crossed the line one too many times. She has hit a new low in her comments about a dead son. And she calls herself a Christian? Please!!! She made me sick while watching her in her interview and the things she said adding insult to injury. Sheshows up wearing a revealing "black dress", posing the whole time while re-arranging her too long hair. By the way, this is the same woman who came to Palm Beach County and tried to vote and there was a "snafu" about wrong address, etc.
When is she going to be taken off the air?????

What a low life.

Well all I know is, if MS. Coulter is anti-liberal then she is my kind of
person.

And she not bad looking either. :>)

BCNU

The political discourse in this country has degenerated to a point that would make our founding fathers disgusted. All politicians, Republican and Democrat, are to blame.

Bill Maher and Ann Coulter are both numbskulls. An opinion here from right of center.

Maybe if the media would stop having Coulter on their programs we could start raising the political dialogue.

Ann Coulter is a disgrace and the networks should own up and avoid any interviews with her. She's more than a disgrace; she's disgusting.

Edwards is a WUSS to ask his wife to go to bat for him yet again. He is playing the sympathy card with Elizabeth's cancer. This country needs a candidate that is stronger than the Breck Girl if he is so scared of Ms. Coulter.

Is there anyone Ann Coulter likes? I've not heard of her till I came here. She sounds vile.

what a disgrace this Ann Coulter is. The entire world went Ape-Sh – - over the Dixie Chicks saying what they said and the american people put up with this lady saying the things she does? I can't stand Dick Cheney but I don't want him killed. C'mon.

I did not plan on voting for John Edwards, but Ms. Coulter may have changed my mind. I find her dispicable and she and her 'dialogue' is what is fueling Al Queda rather than showing a united front against 'terrorists'.

Quite honestly, I place Ann Coulter within the same category as Paris Hilton. The term is Media Tramp. With all of the Press, I know of nothing either of the two contributes to or do anything worthy to the structure of society, on our soil or abroad. The only reason I continue to know anything about these two "Ladies", and I use the term Ladies loosely where they are concerned, is because most media insist on cramming the two of them down our throats. After first knowing of Coulter (years ago) I thought she could be worthy learning about...that went downhill rather quickly. Ann Coulter just seems to shoot things off at the mouth because she enjoys the attention and half the time I don't feel she knows what she is talking about...As for throwing Paris Hilton's name in this comment, I know of nothing she has done for the core of the American Society, but she is a young person coming into her own. If she is ever privileged enough to experience the ills of the world, perhaps she will be shown in the media for making something right in this world. Ann Coulter, shame on you, you're old enough to know how act like a Lady. Paris Hilton, you seem to have redeeming qualities. You put yourself out there and yes, our young society follows you. How about remembering to always be a Lady, whether you are sitting at Afternoon Tea or when you have to throw a punch. Trust me, a woman can throw a punch and still be a Lady about it.

Dear Ann, you seem to me to be a little over the top in you defense
of this really really self centered administration. George Bush has no business running a summer camp, let alone the worlds greatest nation. How many American soldiers have to die before he admits he may have made a mistake. He is no more than a egotistical yahoo from Texas. And since when is the vice President not a member of the executive branch. I guess when it fits the moment. Our founding father would be mortified at the way this administration has bastardized the constitution to fit it's needs. I guess in your eyes if the Dems. where doing this it would be a sin against God and nature. Please go away and leave us alone. I know a good mental facility you could check into to get help with you Bush obsession.

I could care less what political beliefs Ann Coulter has-left, right, conservative, liberal–bottom line is she is filled with so much hate, she's not really worth caring about.

Coulter couldn't even hold her own with Elizabeth Edwards. She is a conservative puppet, and demonstrated her inability to speak for herself.

Ann Coulter is a hate-monger with nothing good or useful to say, and only says these hateful things about others to draw attention to herself. I believe she has nothing else going for her–what a shame.

CNN Headline: Elizabeth Edwards tells Coulter to stop it

I thought Edwards _asked_ her to stop it.

Why is Don Imus off talk radio while Ann Coulter is still allowed to speak? Is it OK to hurl racial/gender slurs at white males but not @ ethnic groups? Thank you Elizabeth Edwards, for promoting civilized discourse, while enduring insults from one (Ann Coulter) who lacks any sense of basic decency.

This exchange was very telling about Coulter's character. Her responses were either slurs or excuses. Just because you said something 3 years ago, does not mean you did not say it. Take responsibilies for your words, or even try listening, instead of sitting there thinking up the next useless attack. Hopefully she will burn out soon and fade away.

Is Man Coulter and her pseudo-intellect relevant? I didn't think so ...

Class always rises to the top. Elizabeth Edwards has it, Ann Coulter doesn't have it, never will have it, and will be looked at soon as a political joke.

If Elizabeth Edwards wishes for Ann Coulter to stop making "personal attacks" on her husband because it "lowers the political dialogue" then let her husband take the first step and appear on Fox News and stop ignoring and making faces at Fox News reporters. Let John Edwards appear on Hannity and Colmes where there are at least liberal and conservative co-hosts.

Who exactly are Ann Coulter's fans? what a naselly, whining piece of crap if I ever heard one. when she talks, she actually thinks she is funny?
i do not understand any of her punchlines???

Bill Maher is a comedian; Ann Coulter is just a mean-spirited individual...

Many people have public buildings, bridges, roads and parks named after them. I have named something "Ann Coulter Pool"; my septic tank!

Elizabeth Edwards is a lady and a class act. Anne Coulter is neither.

Didn't I see Ann Coulter in the Wizard of OZ. I think she played 2 roles. Nice broom!

Ann Coulter called John Edwards feminine a few weeks ago, but it may be her sexuality that needs to be questioned as she has a masculine appearance with facial features similar to John Kerry's. On top of that, she is a moron.

Ann Coulter is a shameless self promoter. She makes the most outrageous comment possible and then sets up a simplistic straw-man argument. She reminds me of South Park without a sense of humor, total verbal diarrhea.

Ann Coulter does not talk like a normal, reasonable person, she spews venom. Democrats or Republicans, we can't take this woman seriously because she seems deeply frustrated and is out of her mind.
More power to the Edwards if they can use her slandering to their advantage.

Judge not lest ye be judged. At a time where we are being viewed as infidels, Ms. Coulter, and I am a very liberal person, certainly is a shining example of such behavior. Free speech, yes, but if she were boarding a plane, she might be detained for such rhetoric and for good reason. Perhaps she is one of the terrorists that would like to plot an assasination. Ugly words for the public to deal with. Shame on you, Ms. Coulter.

When will the media learn that most of us could care less about people like Coulter and Hilton. So they say, turn the channel but all of the idiots are broadcasting the same ole shallow people like those two - at some point just turn off the set. I have turned back to books or PBS.

It is about time someone stands up to Ann Coulter. She is so evil and has such a mean spirit. If that is what an Evagelical is, I will remain a Methodist! Her beliefs are way off base. By the way, what happened to her voting illegally in Forida? She should be in jail!

Ann Coulter should NEVER be given an opportunity to say publicly the kinds of hurtful, mean-spirited things that she does. It's beginning to negatively affect the television stations who provide such a forum for her. Nobody, not Hannity, not Limbaugh, and not Maher have EVER sunk as low as Coulter has, and on MSNBC, we witnessed Elizabeth Edwards bring her to her proverbial knees. As with Rosie, begone with her!

Vic Novosad in Sugar Land, Texas

My word this woman is disgusting. There were complaints about Imus and he was fired. This woman should be banned from Television. She is morally, figuratively and literally the most dispicable woman I know of. It makes me ashamed to be a woman she is so evil. I don't applaud any of the shows that have her on the air. Anyone that has her on their show deserves a drop in ratings and deserves to be not watched. I know I don't watch her but last night I watched for a couple of minutes because of Elizabeth Edwards who is a lady! Ann was never a lady and never will be she's just trailer trash!

I think Edwards needs to grow up, personally, but I also think that you people play right into Ann's hand - she WANTS to work all of the bedwetting, overly-sensitive liberals into a frenzy.. and it works every time!

Maybe if she was ignored, she would fade away..

I thought it was obvious when I heard the comment, that she was satyrizing.

When I heard it, I immediately got that she was pointing out the hypocracy that there was so much uproar when she insulted Edwards, and hardly any uproar when Fred maher stated that it'd have been better if Cheney had died in a terrorist attack.

It's a shame we give this person airtime. But I guess it's the same as Paris Hilton, anything that sells or is spectacular or might cause some drama. The press is just as bad as her.

Please stop giving a platform to Ann Coulter. She is using your network to spew venom and fracture our already fragile nation. Her irreverent and irresponsible opinions fuel the enemies of tolerance and justice. If I wanted to watch propaganda I would tune to FOX.

Unbelievable, the fact that this woman preaches hate to achieve the p.r she needs to move her books is just embarassing. Ann, shame on you for being such a hateful person.

Anyone who would give Madam Coulter a second look or a second hearing has very poor vision and equaly poor hearing.

What a completely cynical piece of work Ann Coulter is. The only reason anyone pays any attention to her is because she makes outrageous comments that no one should take seriously. It's like Brittany Spears not wearing underwear – attention getting, but nothing intelligent about it. Too bad this sort of person gets the attention that much more deserving and worthwhile people don't.

Why does anyone even listen to what Ann Coulter says? She's really just a playground bully and does not add anything to the debate except perhaps bullying comments and having her horse face plastered all over the place. If she was as intelligent as she thinks she is she would find the way she earns a living embarassing and shameful.

Ms. Coulter, like so many of her peers, has made a name for herself by purposefully being as controversial and shocking as possible. Some of her comments are disgracefu and repugnant. She is a sad reflection of today's right wing politics.

Her excuses (defense) that her comments concerning Mr. Edwards were made 6 months ago or 3 years ago were sophmoric at best.

We should all demand responsible and professional behavior from these talking heads. Stop the name calling, the insults and let's have some constructive dialogue about the issues that we face in this country and on international fronts.

Thank you Mrs. Edwards for handling this with dignity, maturity and class.

Elizabeth Edwards can put her pinky down and get off her high horse. We need people like Ann Coulter who aren't afraid to be straight forward about some of the stupidity in our government and call people on what they are. I've heard worse than Ann from the highly vocal supporters of the Democratic Party but I don't see anyone getting all Queen Elizabeth with them.

Ann Coulter has one motive and that is to put money in her pocket. She is the most despicable person I have ever seen. She is one of the problems society has today, lack of morals and love for mankind. I am so sorry that the Edwards have to hear things so hurtful to them. They don't nor does anyone deserve that.

Yes, why are we still talking about Ann Coulter?

She is according to many conservatives, which is her audience, "irrelevant." Given this she is forced to become more and more shocking in her statements so that she can get our attention and on TV. I would say she is the verbal equivalent of a flasher.

Let ignore her and focus on the conservative who want to debate politics on the issues.

Why do Republicans allow Coulter to sleeze up their side of politics? I would think that they would want a huge amount of distance from her trashy talk. Wake up! Coulter alienates us independents from the entire party every time she throws out her sleezy insults. Republicans obviously embrace her tactics or she would be silenced immediately. Self-loathing has never been more obvious than in this toxic woman.

Coulter is in the wrong. Period. That's why she takes so much heat for her comments. She is down in the bottom of the trough, slinging the slop around, and she should stop what she's doing, realize where she is, and get herself up and out.

Why would you attack a family that is going through so much heartache right now.

Mrs. Edwards has TERMINAL cancer, Coulter find it fit to harrass her husband every chance she get to push her own agenda. She blasting about money when she's a slave to it herself. I don't respect her as a human it must be a thing. A christian wouldn't belittle people, they would encourage and assist. Aren't the Republicans a party that stand on morals? So where are they?

How insensitive can Ann Coulter be? Good for Elizabeth Edwards confronting her. Politics is one thing, but bringing a deceased child into the equation; wishing someone dead, etc. is hitting below the belt and should not be tolerated under any circumstances. Politics or not!!

It's a shame that this is not the early seventies....the CIA could have added her to their list of things to do.

Anytime a Republican or a Republican hack such as Coulter is called on the carpet for saying and doing nasty things their biggest defense is to whine, "but the Democrats do it!"

I agree that Coulter is a brillant marketer, but enough is enough. Between the comments about Edwards son and the widows of 9/11, I think the woman is just a cold-stone person out for headlines. I hope some day she doesn't have to know what losing a child is like and the pain that NEVER, EVER goes away. To make it political rhetoric is appalling. Yes, Maher did say Cheney should have been killed, but the VP wasn't and he can defend himself...can John Edwards' son make any comments back to her! She is a horrible human being and how she can profess what she does and look herself in the mirror is beyond me. I hope people wake up and see her for what she is.

Ann Coulter is a disgrace. I think she is really a mentally ill person, and shouldn't be given the place in any public place.
She is a profoundly sick person, that carries a lot of anger and hatred, elements that are not suitable for public speaking in the media or anywhere else.

Once again Elizabeth Edwards proves what an intelligent lady she is. And again, Coulter is an embarrassment to all women.

Who is Coulter anyway? Really, let's think about his for a moment. What has she ever contributed other than her on-going negative statements and attitude? Why are paying attention to her, she's not worth the time or day and obviously doesn't care about what the public perception is of her. She strikes me a complete idiot that enjoys being the center of attention. Someone should tell her to get a life, contribute something positive to say and take a pill. Amy, get over yourself, you're not all that!!

Ann Coulter is pathetic. She makes a living being a mean, nasty, disgusting person– and we continue to allow & even promote it. Shame on us! When will we get to the business of the serious issues facing our country and quit giving air time to "pot-stirrers" like her? She is only trying to divert the discussions fromt the real issues– perhaps because her ilk has no credible response to the real issues???

Ann Coulter is a poison in the political arena..... she offers nothing but divisiveness in her self effacing statements..... and she is not that knowledgeable about anything in her rants.

Anne Coultier is the epitome of what is wrong with the Conservative Right. Fortunately her popularity is waning along with her hero G.W. Bush. She is not even a real Political commentator she is just an entertainer (and not much of one at that).

Wow. You didn't even have to mention that Coulter had previously called Edwards a “fa**ot" and that in 2003, she wrote in her column that he drove around with a bumper sticker saying “Ask me about my son’s death in a horrific car accident.” She is the perfect example of a hate-filled conservative hack. No different than Rush, Hannity or the lot of them - The true faces of the Republican Party.

Farnkly, I am disappointed that CNN even posted this story. Coulter is irrelevant and CNN should treat her as such.

Ann Coulter is human vomit in form and alien in substance or lack thereof.

Ann Coulter is VILE. She spews hate just like all of the other right wing propaganda pushers. People need to wake up and see her for what she is-an uptight self serving hypocrite. Her regular little love-fests with Sean Hannity show the pathetic state of politics we are all subjected to these days. Good for Elizabeth Edwards, who has class and integrity- two traits Coulter clearly doesn't have.

You are no better than Ann Coulter by airing her misguided views. Why is this what you are airing instead of what is happening in the White House? Chenney refusing to have his confidential files reviewed, the Dept. of Justice and of course the withdrawal of troops from Iraq are the issues. Given in to the "right-wing" talking point raises questions to me as to networks political bias. It always seems that everytime the White House is in trouble there is a new story about a kidnapped pretty woman or some celebrity out of control. The coverage of these stories needs to be looked at. The "news" is now based on ratings and not relevance.

To Angela:
"Ask me about my dead son" bumper sticker is very appropriate as John Edwards constantly brings up his dead son. Too bad you don't have brains to comprehend it.

Her "$50,000 speaches to the poor" comment is also very appropriate.

Is it just me, or isn't Elizabeth Edwards' argument that of a dimwit? She married a lawyer crook who made a living by defrauding doctors and insurance companies, all his arguments were based on junk science, long since disproven. We all suffer because of trial lawyer "baby whisperer" Edwards.

I'm afraid that Ann Coulter is a more sophisticated Paris Hilton. She will say anything to increase her own publicity and ego trip. When you analyse her media activity she comes across as a petulant know it all schoolgirl.

As noted earlier, Maher never made that comment. Coulter is trying to put a little Fox spin on the actual comment to excuse her latest idiocy.

I do not think I have ever seen a more unhappy person in my life then Ann Coulter. I am all for speaking your mind, however when you are doing it just to get a reaction or just to hurt then it becomes vengeful.

Anne Coulter is a empty-headed pundit, but a masterful – and I do mean "master" – marketer. She says nothing endlessly and yet has people thinking what she says matters. She's like the Paris Hilton of politics. She's just not as smart or as interesting.

I can see by previous comments that an upsurge on the sympathy vote in in order.

What a poor representation of humanity she is. Her vile verbage should in no way be reproduced.

Coulter absolutely has "head issues." But the point she makes so incompetently, and so offensively, is that when Republicans are criticized by people like Bill Maher, in the most vicious and demogogic way possible just for cheap laughs and populist points, it's not considered hateful or inappropriate. And I do think Edwards symbolizes just about everything wrong with our medical and legal system: he's made a fortune from being a trial lawyer–an industry that remains the largest unregulated source of legal piracy there is. It's unheard of in other Western countries. His hypocrisy about 'two Americas' and fatcats gorging themselves on unearned income is deplorable. But Edwards will get away with it because he represents "the people." Yet there have to be better ways of pointing this out than Coulter's polarizing insanity. She's not helping.

Amazine, the Democratics can't stand her and neither can MOST Republicans. Maybe if she isn't given an audience she will go away. Remember you can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. All she has is personal attacks on people.

*** She was referring to him charging that to speak about POVERTY! ***

Actually the writer quotes her as criticizing his speeches "to the poor" so he's not hiding anything. In fact, the dishonest hack here is Coulter, as the speeches were not in fact "to the poor" but rather "about the poor." If anything the article is slanted in Coulter's favor for failing to point out her lie.

If it looks like a horse, sounds like a horse and has an Adam's apple, then it must be Ann Coulter.

Coulter was referring to criticism about the former senator’s speaking fees.

And what is Ms. Coulter's speaking fee? She is the one I wish would "stop speaking altogether".

Who cares what that crazy, obnoxious freak says?

Conservative commentator? Yeah right!

Anne Coulter needs to get a life. She's very nasty to people. She thinks she is the only one who is right. She's the right partner for Shaun Hannity.Elizabeth Edwards is a lady something Anne Coulter is not

Don't let 'em fool ya, the Edwards's are extremely happy when Coulter opens her mouth. All they hear is cha-ching!

We are taught at a young age that when a child in your school bothers you, ignore them. That is the worst thing you can do to them as they are only seeking attention.

Clearly this must be done with Ann Vulture, I mean Coulter.

I think Coulter is brilliant, but I don't think she needs to be so mean spirited to get her always excellent point across but it needlessly gets liberals going, but then it sells books. She could twist liberals in knots just with the truth.

$50,000 to speak about poverty?

He forces his sons tragic death into every discussion and that was one of the points she was making.

The Edwards being killed by a terrorist remark was clearly in response to Edwards calling the war on terror a "bumpersticker" and the FACT is that Bill Maher said the same thing about Cheney and it was a non-story and I don't think Cheney's wife had to call Maher up and whine.

They were the excellent points she was making and for the record the other remark she made about Edwards had more to do about the Greys anatomy "scandal" than Edwards and his primping on camera like a little girl and getting a poverty stricken $400 haircut.

Elizabeth Edwards is an honorable woman! She demonstrates dignity, self-respect, and independence as well as an amplitude of other fine qualities. She has a genuine love for John and her family as is evidenced by her strength to face every hurdle life as thrown her direction. Ann Coulter, on the other hand, merely demonstrates the vast space that exists between her ears whenever she opens her mouth!

** She was referring to him charging that to speak about POVERTY! She was trying to show how hypocritical and full of dung the man is. ***

There is nothing hypocritical about getting your normal speaking fee merely because the subject is poverty. It's not like he was charging the poor people, brainiac.

Apparently Republicans think that if you earn a good living you must ignore the poor in order to be philosophically consistent. This is why I'm not a Republican.

damn, you just ruined my lunch. The least you could have done with the article was to leave the coulters picture out.....mitch

Ann Coulter has a long history of shock jock hate mongering. I thought those days were over when Don Imus lost his job. Her comments are a thousand times worse than anything Don Imus said. Why does the media even give her the time of day and why do so few people stand up to her hateful meaningless diatribe.

Ann Coulter is a fool who dances for her conservative masters. To take anything she says seriously is a waste of time.

Why on earth would anyone engage this creature? It just validates her as if she has some kind of importance. Any attention she gets, especially from major players, just increases her exposure and income and that is the only thing this "Thing" is about.

I watched this on the Today show this morning and Ms. Coulter is a moran and so is anyone who buys her books and believes her garbage. Why is it funny or a joke to tell people that John Edwards has a bumper sticker that says Ask Me about my dead son?? Where is the humor in that? And when Mrs. Edwards asked that Ann Coulter please not say those things and stop personally attacking the Edwards, Ann said that was three years ago. What does that mean??? That if your child dies you should get over it and not feel bad about losing a child??? Especially if it was three years ago???
I can't believe intelligent people listen to this woman and spend their money on her ridiculous, ignorant bull--. Congratulations Mrs. Edwards on standing up to the bully. I say good for you and I for one would be extremely happy if Ms. Coulter would just stop speaking.

Why are we still listening to/talking about this woman?
She clearly is just doing this to get air time.
And she's very good at it, because she gets people to react to it (which just exacerbates the problem.)
Just leave it alone & ignore her.

One of the arrows conservatives sling at liberals is their alledged inablity to recognize evil & call it for what it is. Well, the behavior of Anne Coultier is despicable & has no place in civlized discouse; where is the outcry by consevatives. All you ever hear is: the other"side" does it.

Try being a bit more honest here CNN.
<i> "Coulter was referring to criticism about the former senator’s speaking fees". </i>
She was referring to him charging that to speak about POVERTY! She was trying to show how hypocritical and full of dung the man is. It's called "irony" you dishonest hack...
