Right-wing succubus and the blonde poster girl for the American conservatives, Ann Coulter, laid into Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards at the Conservative Political Action Conference, and essentially referred to the Senator as a faggot in her speech.

Said Coulter: “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

Audience members said “ohhh” and then cheered.

According to Towleroad.com, It's not the first time Coulter has bandied about the f-word.

Last July she called Al Gore "a total fag".  

Human Rights Campaign Joe Solmonese issued this statement: "To interject this word into American political discourse is a vile and disgusting way to sink the debate to a new, all-time low. Make no doubt about it, these remarks go directly against what our Founding Fathers intended and have no place on the schoolyard, much less our country’s political arena. It is clear that some in the Republican Party plan to run in 2008 the same way they did in 2004, by using discrimination to divide the country and rally their base. But, 2008 is not 2004, and this time the politics of fear and smear will not work. The American people are tired of those who would rather divide than unite."

Solmonese also called on Republicans to come forward and condemn Coulter's hate speech:

“We demand that every single Presidential candidate in attendance at this conference, along with Vice President Cheney stand up and publicly condemn this type of gutter-style politics."
