Hardball: John Edwards on Ann Coulter

[BelfastAtheist]

Might I say though, damn Edwards is likable.

[ptldoregon]

Eddie didn't call because he was sleeping with his whore...Elizabeth spoke up about you ...you fraud. You are a disgrace. You ambulance chaser….. Go steal money for the tax payers for your back room adulterous affair. You are self righteous idiot.

[BelfastAtheist]

@ptldoregon

You're calling someone else an idiot?

I hear irony calling. Incidentally, you obviously didn't listen to this video..the topic was trash-talking that debases poitics, you didn't mention a real issue once. You proved your lack of any profoundity whatsoever, by resorting to (Hugely false) puerile claims.

[MetalDetroit]

Guess Elizabeth Edwards should have been paying more attention to who her husband was screwing rather than calling Ann Coulter.

[p2breaker]

How can edwards and his wife villify Coulter when edwards is just another lawyer who got rich by bringing rediculous class action law suites that bankrupted doctors and businesses. And Edwards teaching us about morality is a joke.

[asunsetinmyveins]

john edwards is filth.

[fuklibs]

Hows the love child John??

What a piece of shit, lowlife, ambulance chasing lawyer.

[ra86226]

someone who cheats on his cancer stricken wife is not a good guy. Besides, while name calling is juvinile, so is the response of "that's not nice, now stop. You naughty girl."

[boohoojew]

What a couple of sacks of shit right there.

[Bwayboy2001]

Ann Coulter pretty much exposed Edwards and his wife for the phonies that they are. Go Ann!

[PoliticalJunke]

fuck you

[memama2]

John Edwards and HIS wife...were FAKING a REAL marraige!!!and the WORLD sees thru these self-centered dunces of deluding the PUBLIC!...that Elizabeth KNEW that her husband HAD A WHORE ensconsed in a MANSION with her "breed me johhny"...baby...and Johnnie was STILL seeing the women while his wife is DYING and they are BOTH LYING...to the american people GOT FOUNG OUT!!!now elizabeth"egg on her face"EDWARDS!!! call-in LOOKS PRETTY STUPID! and an EPIC WIN! for Ann Coulter...who tried to WARN US!!!!

[PoliticalJunke]

marrage always fail only 2% by the end of there life say the still show great affection towards there spouse

[highnrising]

You can tell Edwards is misleading--or outright lying--'cause his lips are moving.

[nikkytoh]

cheater!

[drsnk1]

it's John Faggot Edwards

[n0ts0B9]

the best cure for an infection is sunlight.

[WGST475]

i want to become one with john edwards hair.

[fialka1987]

1. John Edwards is so physically attractive! Yay to his wifey!

2 I'm afraid to vote for him, because I worry his wife might (God forbid) get sicker from cancer and that might throw him off personally in leadership of this country. you can't say that it won't because he is a human being.

[RustythePirate]

On the other hand, Coulter LOVES a strong, independent woman speaking her mind and fighting for a cause... oh, unless of course it's NOT a conservative cause. Then she's just an idiot and should be censored. In which case, she is godless, has a mental disorder, and should be beaten with a stick. And also should be killed.

[simoncase]

very well said - Coulter is fucking retarded

[CamelsAssBangMohmed]

why is that, comrade??

[simoncase]

Because she's just a factory of hate... she said "muslims should e called ragheads for 911" amongst other stupid things, and generalises other groups of people by the actions of individals, but refuses to define her own like that; she's a dumb hypocritical bitch!

[CamelsAssBangMohmed]

1) she has a PhD, what do you have , comrade??

2) if you read the koran, it states very clearly that you must convert nonmoslems and if they dont it is okay to rob rape enslave and murder the infidel.

i agree with ann. even more, i think we should exterminate them beefore they can exterminate us

[smsteve888]

doesn't sound like you have a PhD.

While I doubt you read the koran, I haven't either. What are your sources for your information? The koran preaches TOLERANCE towards other religions. The loophole is that it also says that they can defend themselves if they are being converted by starting a holy war. Radical muslims interperet the west's actions as steps to converting them. THOSE ARE RADICALS! don't call me comrade either, if you knew some history, socialism does not = communism.

[CamelsAssBangMohmed]

i never claimed to have a PhD. i said ann had a J.D.

1) we arent converting them. i dont give a fuck

2) sharia law enshrines discrimination against infidels , to wit, the "protection" tax.

if you call that fair,then you wont mind if we tax them for being moslem in a christian land

3) look up the barbary wars, we , the USA , refused to pay, "protection" to sail in the med, thay attacked and when our ambassador complained he was told"you are infidels , we can do what we want" so read the koran

[elmepo232]

@CamelsAssBangMohmed Just so you know, Whilst yes, the Qur'an does state that it is okay to rape and pillage ect. in war, and theres the whole "Muslims treat women like crap" going on, I hope to god you're not christian/catholic, because the bible states those as well. According to the bible we should be killing our sons because they talk back, and out there murdering anyone who disagrees with the church.

[stevemabc123]

Thats incredibly presumptuous to say(comrade)on such a free formed platform like youtube!!

[smsteve888]

RIGHT ON!

[numnums21]

Ron Paul '08

[CMOSjockey]

What I hope John Edwards understands from this is that when you show you have a spine, people in this in this country will support you. We are tired of the Coulters and Bush's, but we are tired of watching the Dems let the Repugs walk over them.

[aphterphoto]

A professional liar. American politics is a circus. Edwards and Coulter are just clowns spinning balloon animals. The bad thing is that people take these actors seriously.

[c02mills]

Chris, your one of THEM.......Oh my God....

[mstock626]

LOL. So Ann Coulter's unwillingness to toe the Democrat line and be sweet is now equated with calling African-Americans by the "N" word.

Can somebody go ahead and get Chris Matthews his very own Edwards '08 T-shirt to wear on the air?

[mstock626]

1. "like Karl Rove". And not George Soros and Al Franken? Oh, that's right! Nobody's listening to Franken (except Crazy Al himself)

2. Elizabeth did it on her own? Suuuuuuuure. Just like there was a right wing conspiracy against Bill Clinton.....

3. Since Edwards has nothing to offer in terms of agenda or leadership (unless you call shilling for hapless litigants in frivolous lawsuits), he has to attack Ann Coulter.

4. I thought a real man knew not to be mean to the girl!!!

[comicfl]

I have a question for you demos: what do you really think about this guy? Do you think he is your best choice so far for winning the presidency?

[EyeLean5280]

Oh, no.

Che is our best choice so far.

[kingjordana]

I love how his struggle is like that of black people in the south back in the fifties.

[MortandHarley]

Poor Wittle Johnny!!!!

Hides behind his nut-job wife's skirt.....

Bet he squats to go wee wee.....

[dsant7]

Husbands and wives don't have the right to stand up for each other? John Edwards is too much of a gentleman to call Ann Coulter names. He is sticking to the issues. Ann Coulter's comments are desperate. When she has nothing substantive to debate, she name calls. Damn, are we back in grade school?

[BigStick3456]

I bet she is getting the last laugh now. So much for John Edwards being a gentleman. LOL!

[BelfastAtheist]

@BigStick3456

Nice logic fail.

[chokujou]

This is getting silly. In this clip, Matthews shows a clear disdain for the woman, but yet he let her talk for a half hour on HIS show??!?! Why? They are helping her sell books and speaking engagements!!

[noman953]

Ok I think people are becoming too sensitive. I'm gay and I have no issue with Isaiah Washington and Ann Coulter using the word faggot. Gay people use it ALL the time in various forms of context (in their public lives and in their movies) and Isaiah Washington has gay friends, he grew up in a gay community so accusing him of homophobia was ridiculous and firing him for was just dumb. they are just words people sheesh

[duchieu88]

hey fellow americans look there is a guy with a name hussien, just like 30 million others, my gosh, hes gonna blow us up.. we r so fukin ignorant n narrowminded.. how many people have the name Adolf?

[deritpeehs]

what did they want- elizabeth edwards has a good mind and is supportive to her husband. i guess they want her to be a stepford housewife instead.

[death2all000]

transcript from GMA "About the - oh yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. Now, that would be mean. But about the same time, you know, 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." This was a joke pointing out the double standard thats all it was.

[Lodance]

She tends to point out other people's faults in order to make up for her own. A way of justifying her 'publicity stunts' of making fun of people. she is a smart person and i wish she would promote herself in a way that doesn't make her seem like she is a mouthy teen. But i guess she is accomplishing what she wants, that is to get a reaction out of people and gain attention at the expense of others.

[Lodance]

Backpackr3 - "if i were to make a comment about you, i would say that you are ignorant and stupid..." ..but only IF i were to make one.

Even if Bill Maher said what he did, it does not give others the right to say things which are similar because either way, It was wrong when he said it and is wrong when ann said it.

[glockpistolrock24]

Bill Maher is a comedian. Bill Maher is a comedian. Bill Maher is a comedian. Ann Coulter is an author/columnist/"politcal commentator/lawyer/Christian.

Ann Coulter is an author/columnist/"politcal commentator/lawyer/Christian. Ann Coulter is an author/columnist/"politcal commentator/lawyer/Christian.

[bjalder26]

He knew before hand, and his wife planned to call in before the show started.

[crazy2004]

God, John Edwards is such a handsome man!

[MrEslyer]

John may be a one time loser. But anyone who listens to Ann's Hate mongering monologue's is about as intelligent as a member of a skin head bible study group.

[MrEslyer]

WOW!!! Every question Ann was asked was responded by rhetoric and evasive answers... Well Ann why did you call Hillary fat? Well When did I say that...And in what sentence did I say that?... Well and I quote in your book. Hillary is fat! Well why isn't anyone asking why Hillary wears a pants size 9 shoes or why or why global warming hasn't affected my ice box? Or why if blah, blah blah....

[52381a]

Sucks when he can't get face time without Ann coulter.

[52381a]

It was a set up.. You're a loser John. Your campaign is sucking......

[TACKICSON]

he will never be president.

[italianman004]

ANN COULTER IS GOING DOWN

[Backpackr3]

Screwball on Screwball is a shill for the Demrats. He knows damn well that Ann Coulter never said that she "wished Edwards was killed by terrorists". Anyone who watches that Good Morning America segment knows that damn well too.

[PoliticalChase]

Backpackr3 - "Ann Coulter never said that she 'wished Edwards was killed by terrorists'"

Is something wrong with your cable/satellite connection? Direct quote from the show - "So I've learned my lesson. If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he has been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

Emphasis - "...I'll just wish he has been killed in a terrorist plot" I don't know how much closer you can get than that.

[Backpackr3]

No sir...nothing is wrong with my connection. Something is wrong however with your reading comprehension. As you aptly point out, Coulter opened her comment with the word "If". Therefore (as I said previously)she did not say she "wished Edwards was killed by terrorists"...only that IF she were to comment on him in the future that that is what she may say (since saying such things is apparently Ok with the Libs).

[PoliticalChase]

Backpackr3 - If. Now you're getting into nitpicky semantics that are pointless and applicable, at best, in a legalese context. Her intentions and point were made. Getting into a discussion about what the definition of "is" is, is not relevant. I know you're not stupid enough to actually believe or posit that it is necessary to parse every word of every sentence before intent becomes applicable. Come on. Be sensible.

[Backpackr3]

...continuation.... She made this comment while referencing the fact that Bill Maher (actually) said that he wished Cheney were killed by the terrorist attempt on his life, and Maher got a complete pass from the Libs. Context of the comment is everything. You sir need to brush up on your critical thinking skills.

[Pattosensei]

So, in order to show that Anne Coulter shouldn't use hate language they call her "mean spirited" and "a crazy" and several other things. Ah, I love modern hypocracy (I mean politics...sorry)

[TheMuon]

Please explain how calling someone "mean spirited" is hate speech? I've heard Ann Coulter called many things and mean spirited is one of the nicer things said about her.

You're talking about soemone who tells outright lies and calls people childish names.

[Pattosensei]

"a crazy" is a childish name my friend. I'm neither defending nor attack Coulter. I'm merely pointing out that using name calling to get someone esle to stop name calling is basically hypocracy.

[strength1183]

Why must you sling insults? Why must you hit below the belt? One only does that when they lack the intelligence to sufficiently voice an opinion because they don't have anything to say. If you don't have something profound to say , keep your mouth shut.

[prophetofdoom]

Edwards says he doesn't tolerate this kind of "hate" and yet he makes a profit off of it.

If liberals are smart (which they are not) then they should know that actions speak louder than words.

[PoliticalChase]

Hey genius, what's your IQ?

[SMillerFan]

You are too nice with these people. I simply delete the asshats off of my videos

[prophetofdoom]

Of course you do because you like all liberals are semantic totalitarians.

You just can't stand that people can actually hold a different opinion than you can you?

[SMillerFan]

Problem is you can't express your opinion without namecalling and lies. Not opinions but distortions of facts.

[prophetofdoom]

Right and you are pure and honest. You never call people names, especially not asshats.

O no, you are as clean as a whistle.

lol, and you wonder why liberals are idiots.

[PoliticalChase]

prophetofdomm - "You just can't stand that people can actually hold a different opinion than you can you"

Why don't you try backing that up with facts instead of slinging mud and name calling. If you're going to just come here to hand out personal attacks and unjustified babbling, go find an appropriate sandbox to play in.

[PoliticalChase]

SMillerFan - I think debate is healthy, with debate being the operative word, but I do have limits. Bigotry gets booted quickly. Wingnuts will get booted after a reasonable time if they can't refrain from name calling nor provide something substantial. Simply stated - mitigate offensive comments while trying to maintain objectivity. I don't want to give the impression I boot somebody because I (or someone else) may disagree with them.

[greatbroad]

Whatever we attack becomes MORE. It grows larger because it gathers up its strength to defend itself against us. Defend, yes; attack, not a good idea.

[zvesko]

so if some Edwards' supporters hate the Pope it is inappropriate for Edwards to call Coulter hateful? What a dumb logic. Coulter is a profane hate monger who uses her notoriety to make money. Do you think she shares your Christian values? Morons like you make her rich.

[PoliticalChase]

Calling me a moron when you know nothing about me, who I am, nor my intellectual abilities tells me you must be a sum cum laude graduate of the Ann Coulter Charm School, otherwise you wouldn't resort to baseless, inappropriate name calling. Or could it be that you simply don't have the intellect to rise above the tactics of a five-year. It's quite easy for you to resort to hateful language behind the safety of a computer, isn't it?

[TheMuon]

If you like Coulter you are a moron.

[52381a]

You like this one term loser senator?

[zvesko]

PoliticalChase wrote:Calling me a moron when you know...

>:-| whow, wait a second there. I replied to StoogeWatcher not you. I made a mistake by not hitting reply link. I think thou, that the content of my post makes it obvious that I'm not Coulter's supporter and that it was not about you.

[PoliticalChase]

zvesko - OK. My apologies then for my rebuttal. Yep, I could see that you're not a Coulter fan, which I don't think I rebutted specifically. I just took exception to the moron part. No harm, no foul.

[StoogeWatcher]

You libs are the hatemongers. And you don't hate the rich.

[PoliticalChase]

Great response! Simple, meaningless, name calling. Try another name, let's see how rich your vocabulary is.

[StoogeWatcher]

Who is Edwards to accuse Coulter of being hateful when it's Edwards supporters who slander Christians and called the Pope a dictator? Oh that's right, it's become hip in the Democratic Party to pick on Christians!

[PoliticalChase]

I'm not sure what specific incident(s) you are referring to, nor does it matter because you are stereotyping, which makes your argument, to be polite, without merit and inappropriate.

[StoogeWatcher]

There were two bloggers for the John Edwards campaign who slandered Christians and not one liberal denounced the anti-Christian bigotry that is prevalent within the DNC. I could provide the exact quotes.

[PoliticalChase]

Two people represent the entire Democratic Party? You are stereotyping. I suppose we can then justifiably characterize the entire Republican Party by your statements and actions. Again, your argument is nothing more than ridiculous hyperbole.

[snappyblue]

And did edwards or his bloggers say "Hopefully the Pope will be killed by terrorists?" Did EE, or any Democrat for that matter, make a JOKE about a political figure's dead son? No.

You're entitled to your political beliefs, but why readjust your self-proclaimed Christianity to bend to your politics?

Isn't it supposed to be the other way around? Liberal or conservative, those insults are mean-spirited, and have nothing to do with the viewpoints of either party.
