Okay, I'm Offended.
Enough emails. My official opinion:
I have said things about John Edwards, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and the rest of the democrats that are certainly offensive and that make Ann Coulter sound like a nun. I speak for myself, and not the republican party, or conservatives. As does Ann Coulter.
I note that in the video you can hear a good many of the conservatives who were in the room at the time applaud her "offensive" remark.
There is now a petition for bloggers to sign that seeks to bar Ann Coulter from future CPAC events. Are they going to bar all of the conservatives in the audience who applauded too? And what do you want to bet that at least some of those conservatives who applauded Ann's little barb have now signed that petition?
I am more offended by the "conservatives" at CPAC who welcomed and applauded a gun-grabbing liberal candidate for president who is so pro-abortion that he thinks our tax dollars should pay for them, who is pro-gay rights, who is so pro-amnesty for llegals that he not only worked tirelessly to create a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants but gave them free healthcare at the taxpayers' expense, than I am offended by Ann's comment.
I am more offended by the "conservative" bloggers at CPAC who applauded a liberal candidate for president who supports mccain-feingold than I am offended by Ann's comment.
But then, that's just me.
UPDATE: Turns out not everyone is signing on the outrage. Emperor Misha issued a bitch slap! and I agree, Ann directed her comment to the wrong candidate. Whoa, at Cold Fury, Mike is furious, and so is Joe! PoliPundit thinks its all about the money honey!
Mike at Cold Fury makes this point:
... a year from now, all of this — every last bit of it — will be forgotten, and it will have all the lasting impact on future elections of…last year’s CPAC. Anybody remember the significance of that one? Anybody remember anything at all about it?
Besides Coulter’s “raghead” remark, that is.
So there!
Final Update: The icing on the cake!
