| Edwards Calls Coulter 'She-Devil' |
| 2007-08-18 |
| ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: Former Sen. John Edwards on Friday fired the latest round in his ongoing verbal feud with Ann Coulter, calling her a "she-devil" at a public event before quickly adding that he shouldn't engage in name-calling. My ears are burning! Edwards, Dimwitted-N.C., was railing against the right-wing media -- including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh -- when he reminded a crowd in Burlington, Iowa, that his wife stood up to Coulter in a public spat earlier this summer. Ripped her a new one, she did! "We know these people. We know their game plan. They're going to attack us personally," Edwards said. "They attacked Elizabeth personally, because she stood up to that she-devil Ann Coulter. Â… I should not have name-called. But the truth is -- forget the names -- people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language." Shame on anyone who would do that! In June, Coulter went on ABC's "Good Morning America" and said she had learned her lesson after being blasted for suggesting in a joke before the Conservative Political Action Conference that Edwards was a "faggot." "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," Coulter said. Snort! :-) Err, ahem. :-| That prompted Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, to call in to MSNBC's "Hardball" and challenge Coulter directly. "I want to use the opportunity Â… to ask her politely to stop the personal attacks," Mrs. Edwards said. The call left Coulter uncharacteristically flustered -- and was Good job, Ann! The more you can get Defeatocrats to spend their money on this guy, the better! |

| #7 Excuse me for asking such a silly question, but what does any of this childish nonsense have to do with the issues facing this country which one would normally expected to be debated in a presidential campaign? And why is Elizabeth Edwards somehow always involved in these brouhahas? If John Edwards had any sense at all, and I'm not saying he does, he would tell his wife something like "I love you, dear, and we're all terribly sorry about your disease. But would you please just STFU?" |

| #5 The best comment about this I've heard so far is that it just means that John Edwards feels threatened by strong, intelligent women. |

| #2 remember, Elizabeth Edwards is the peace-loving spouse that hired the two hate-bloggers for her husband's campaign. Elizabeth is a stronger man than John. "She-Devil" is just weak-ass, Breck Girl, and I bet Ms. Coulter had a great laugh over it |

| #1 But the truth is -- forget the names -- people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language. All Ann does is play by the same rules that the party of 'personal destruction' has played by for generations. As the old saying goes - they can dish it out, but they can't take it. BTW 'hateful language' is code talk for 'disagreeing with me'. |
