Sorry Kola, but Ann ain't skanky. She just wants everybody to play by the same set of rules, something most lib's don't want to do.

I'd vote for Ann a lot quicker than I would that lyin' Edwards. Mr or Mrs.

You didn't hear Coulter saying that Sen Edwards was using his dead for a sympathy deal to raise money?

I don't blame Mrs Edwards, I'd tore a chunk, which she ain't got, off Coulter also for that.


Gosh, JB...I thought you had better choice in women than that!! :cry: :cry:

Did you listen to all of it? Edwards using Coulters name to raise money then bitching about it?

Go to youtube.com and listen to Bill O Riley and Dennis Miller talking about Edwards house, how he got the money to buy it and what his neighbors think about him.

Guy is an ambulance chasing lawyer and now he needs his wifey to defend him? Give me a break, the guy wants to be president.

for your information, here is supposedly exactly what ann coulter said.

"Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been
killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm gonna
say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been
killed in a terrorist assassination plot.

i see two differences. one, ann's is clearly both a joke and an exercise in logic. two, there was no equivalent outrage when bill maher made his comments. of course the liberals use what ann calls unassailables, mrs. edwards, in this case to argue so that it makes it more about feeeeeeelings rather than logic. of course the progressives can't stand this, just as they can't stand that what they are really standing on is the equivalent of a religion. religion is afterall about feelings rather than logic. something i find very interesting when it comes to the debate about things like global warming, evolution vs creationism, negotiating with terrorists while one's head is on a pike, on and on. government should find a way to do less.

#1..so he's got a nice house...so do I and and lot of other people....BIG F-ING DEAL!!


#2...he's a lawyer and he specializes in certain cases so do most lawyers....BIG F-ING DEAL


#3... Who cares what his neighbors think...they're probably jealous anyway!!!!

I don't get it that a person wealth ( house, etc) is always attacked. WHO CARES!!!

In the opposite direction who goes around and when you see a shack that is run down with junk in the yard do you say or think, " Man, too bad that guy got f---d in life"
NO.... I'd hope no one does!

That is a lot more of a mansion than a nice house. When someone needs to live like that, I question their motives.


"#2...he's a lawyer and he specializes in certain cases so do most lawyers....BIG F-ING DEAL"

I agree with what shakspere had to say about lawyers, tho' I suppose there are a few good ones, but I think maybe we ought to ban them from politics. He is a lawyer who specialized in suing doctors, He's one of the reason's health care is so high. He's part of the problem, not the solution.


"#3... Who cares what his neighbors think...they're probably jealous anyway!!!!"

How a person is thought of by his neighbors can usually tell you a lot. Not all, but a lot. If he can't get along with his neighbors, how is he supposed to get along with other countries?

"I don't get it that a person wealth ( house, etc) is always attacked. WHO CARES!!! "

I am not attacking his wealth. When someone has done well in life they deserve to live as they choose, but when they seem to be flaunting their money and power, then I don't care for their attitude. There are many wealthy people who you would never know they were wealthy, because they choose to live as normal everyday people.

Show me where this man has used any of his power or money to help other people.

"In the opposite direction who goes around and when you see a shack that is run down with junk in the yard do you say or think, " Man, too bad that guy got f---d in life"
NO.... I'd hope no one does!"

I guess I don't see that sort of thing around here. I really can't say. Money or lack of it is not necessarily a good indicator of whether a person has done well with their lives. There are too many extenuating circumstances. How many ranches have you ever seen that were larger than the average for the area and thought to yourself, "Gee, them folks must have really been on the ball." Or do you think as I do, "Gee, somebody in that family must have gotten lucky or had some relatives who did, in the past, and they've kept it going."

And those who do have larger ranches or more money than average, usually aren't flauntinhg it. At least not around here.

I don't want someone who acts like Edwards and has achieved what he has, to be president. We've had enough rich, snooty ones. Lets get a more down to earth, common type of man. Maybe like Truman was?

You just contradicted yourself about the money issue.

If you went to the Dr....had surgery on your left leg and instead they cut off your left nutt...you'd not be hunting a Dr to sue someone???? Come on!!!!

I don't see him running up and down the highways with a BIG poster that says I'm Rich and you're NOT!! Ever seen the house? I don't mean pics...I mean live and in person? You know yourself cause you've been doing it...you can doctor up a photo to change things! I'm not sure what you consider a mansion.

This man grew up in a mill town in SC with plain ol working people....and how do I know this....remember EVERYONE in the South is related!

At least he's operated his own business and it's success or failure was on his shoulders....not a trust fund baby that you elected that always had "daddy's money" to fall back on.

As far as the mention of ' ranches" been there & done that. More power to them if they have a big ranch and are able to hold it together...I really don't think anything about it cause it's not my concern how they handle their finances or luck.

Elizabeth Edwards said Wednesday that she hopes other Americans will do what she was trying to do when she confronted conservative pundit Ann Coulter on national television this week.

Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, said in an interview that it's time to put the brakes on the hateful speech spewed by people like Coulter. "It may take a while, but if we don't start, it'll take forever," she said.

The confrontation came Tuesday while Coulter was appearing on MSNBC's "Hardball." Elizabeth Edwards called the show and asked Coulter to refrain from using insulting language. Coulter laughed and accused Edwards of telling her to stop speaking.

Yep that is really squirming alright :roll:

Among other things, Coulter has referred to John Edwards as a "faggot" and recently said she wished he had died in a terrorist attack. In her call to the show, Elizabeth Edwards said Coulter once wrote that John Edwards probably had a bumper sticker on his car saying, "Ask me about my dead son." That was a reference to the Edwardses' teenage son, Wade, who was killed in a traffic accident.

Coulter smiled and wondered aloud why a candidate's wife was making such a call.

Edwards responded: "I'm the mother of that boy who died."

In a phone interview from her North Carolina home Wednesday, Edwards said people like Coulter trade in hurtful insults instead of honest debate. "At some point, somebody has to stand up and say, 'That's enough,' " she said.

Edwards said she did not consult her husband before making the call, though she said campaign aides tracked down the phone number for her. She was sitting in an airport between campaign visits when she saw Coulter on television and called the show.

Edwards said she knows that many people would advise her to ignore the insults instead of dignifying them with a response. But she said that is not the way to change things. She said she has been inspired by a cultural shift in the South. When she moved there decades ago, she said, it was acceptable for people to use racist language. But then people who disliked such language started making their objections known, and eventually it became unacceptable. She said she hopes the same will happen with the things Coulter and others say.

Coulter's publicist did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.

Peverill Squire, a University of Iowa political science professor, said it's unusual for a candidate's spouse to make such a public challenge to a critic. But he said she risked little in making the call. "Certainly, among Democrats, going after Ann Coulter is not going to raise any concerns," he said.

Elizabeth Mehren, a Boston University journalism professor who has followed the Edwardses, said Elizabeth Edwards' effort is admirable. Mehren said, however, that the Edwards campaign jumped to use the confrontation as a fundraising tool, which she said could be seen as "tacky."

Tacky?? What do you expect from some one like Edwards and those that support him?

From what I see.................it shows the hypocrisy of the left. Bill Maher can say things and get a free pass but let Ann say it and the lynch mob shows up.

Man if the left didn't have hypocrisy they would have nothing.

They can not take a joke either! Them type of comments is what Ann Coulter and Bill Maher do. I do not get upset about either one of them and sometimes they are funny sometimes they are distasteful.

Only thing that bugs me is how the media reacts differently to they two.

From what I gathered Edwards probably hurt her husband more than help. Ann will probably be having a field day with the conversation and especially the fact that the wife is fighting the husbands battle.

It is alright for a woman to defend her man..............if she is right. But in Edwards case she is flat out wrong.................and making a fool of herself.

Besides Ann said she was joking before she even made the comment and little Miss Slow Edwards was too dumb to catch it.

Thing is she fought instead of him. Nothing wrong with wife fighting the cause beside her husband only funny when it is instead of him.

But who would expect anything else from a man afraid to come out of the closet :lol: I am sure she has protected his wussy self many times. Probably took over for his mommy years ago.

Even the Edwards camp said she was not using very good judgment when she went on the attack!
Come on Kolo even you can see that she tried to become the MAN of the family while poor old JOHN hides behind his woman's skirt!
Says something for their relationship doesn't it?
Who is at the wheel Hilery (OPPPPPS) we all know who the real man is in that family :lol: :lol: :lol: Even if she does wear dresses :lol:
How about addressing the comment you made about Colton squirming??? :D Does not look like she is the one squirming! :)
Oppppps you opened mouth and inserted foot AGAIN.
You are so predictable is is sad!
Anyone have a crying towel for dear Kola? She is looking for a hole to crawl in while hissing like a gopher trying to make herself look important, intelligent, and informed, when all she is is pathetic.
