disgusting - now with update!

this really makes me angry. really, really angry. i know this person doesn't speak for all republicans, but this makes me never want to vote for a republican candidate again. ever.




(i saw this first on jay's blog) it really bothers me that there is applause and no one booing or countering it at this speech.

sadly, most of the responses i watched on youtube were of the knee jerk reaction variety. "she said he was a ______, well she's a C yoU Next Tuesday!" I'm looking for a more appropriate response.

here we go


although it's only a, "we don't condone it" from the repubs.


here is john edwards' response, on fox news of all places. (i didn't see it on la times, fresno bee, bbc, drudge report).

and her response to her own bigoted comments, "C'mon, it was a joke. I would never insult gays by suggesting that they are like John Edwards. That would be mean," Coulter told the New York Times. uhhhhhh, really? that's how you want to respond to be homophobic? that's how you want to respond to using derogatory remarks?


UPDATE: slate had an interesting (to me) piece about how basically no one should be surprised, or even really cover it (which is funny because they say that while covering it). some choice quotes to end it, "So, I suppose it's only a matter of time before she calls Barack Obama a Black Panther masquerading as Uncle Tom, describes Hillary Clinton as a dyke Hitler, or reaches for something even more irreverent."
