An important conversation starter
They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, so I feel bad about posting this, but I think it's important anyway.
Without giving my own opinion, I just think the following clip is an important conversation starter.
For those that don't know, Ann Coulter is a best-selling conservative political pundit. What follows is what may be offensive to some people, but can also spark some debate that this country really needs:
I could go for days commenting on this, but instead I leave it up to you to discuss over your next dinner table discussion...

I heard about this on Air America's Sam Seder show. Unfortunately, there's a bunch of people in this country who believe this c--p. Frankly, I am very concerned about the directions our country is taking and the lies being espoused to promote certain agendas. Our democracy is in danger of becoming something else.
Ann Coulter is vile. What is disturbing to me about this episide is that she makes the claim that she was not making a statement about Kerry's sexuality when she called him a faggot. She said something to the effect that of course he couldn't be a faggot because he was a married man and father of two. It was merely "a schoolyard taunt."
First of all, given that national politics are conducted by adults, I don't appreciate seeing serious business reduced to the level of elementary school.
Second of all, Ann completely misses the point in understanding why calling someone "a faggot" is a big deal. Her intent was to insult John Kerry pure and simple. Her idea of insulting him is by calling him a faggot, meaning he is a homosexual meaning that he is less than a "real" heterosexual man. Her choice of insult represents a dangerous line of thought in relegating an entire portion of the world's population to second class citizens based on their biological sexual orientation.
Ann Coulter is vile.
