Previously, Ann Coulter referred to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot." Yesterday on Good Morning America, Coulter, the right-wing Republican pundit, added another quote to her list of hateful and offensive comments.
When talking about Edwards, she said with a smile, "If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he was killed in a terrorist assasination plot."
She wishes he would have been killed? This is a woman who professes to be a Christian and who calls Democrats "Godless."
We all need to be mindful of our words and the power they have. But those who speak out in the public domain, over our airwaves and in our newspapers, need to be held accountable for what they are saying. If you do not appreciate hate-filled and offensive messages such as Coulter's, I encourage you to speak out. Write emails to ABC or a letter to the editor of your local paper.
Also, I encourage you to read Elizabeth Edward's blog post from March of this year, when she commented on Coulter's first remark. Here is a link: http://blog.johnedwards.com/story/2007/3/3/133240/0355
