Ann Coulter calls John Edwards a "faggot"

Right wing pundit Ann Coulter makes my skin crawl. Speaking today at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Coulter took aim at John Edwards and both Clintons: “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”
Audience members said “ohhh” and then cheered. (What are they? In kindergarten?)
Coulter had previously put “even money” on Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) “[c]oming out of the closet,” and said former President Bill Clinton shows “some level of latent homosexuality.” She had also called Vice President Al Gore a “total fag.”
But she has a supporter in former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA) who before Coulter's Friday appearance at the same events told the audience: “I am happy to hear that after you hear from me, you will hear from Ann Coulter. That is a good thing. Oh yeah!”

Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese issued this statement later today:: “We demand that every single Presidential candidate in attendance at this conference, along with Vice President Cheney stand up and publicly condemn this type of gutter-style politics,” Solmonese said. “If not, then their silence will be deafening to the vast majority of Americans who believe this type of language belongs no where near the discussions about the future of our country.”
