Imagine if a liberal commentator had called Bush 41 the n word

or Dan Quayle the s word (bad word for Hispanics). Does anyone think that he or she would have been on This Week, today? Yet not only was Ann Coulter, who called both John Edwards and Bill Clinton faggot, on the show she was featured on their website. Yet as far as I can tell not one word of outrage over that.

I bet the last word Matthew Shepard heard was faggot.

On edit for those who wonder what I am referring to find videos on this search page

That explains why she does it, but it doesn't explain why she is never called on it. I can understand why her "fans" who agree with her don't complain, but I don't know why she isn't publicy raked over the coals for this behavior.
