<title>Anne Coulter Thinks You're A Faggot (Trees And Things)</title>
<link>http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2007/3/4/175622/4940</link>
<description>...if your name is John Edwards, anyway.  Coulter, a longtime conservative columnist and cultural lightning rod, &lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070304/pl_nm/people_coulter_dc">again roused controversy&lt;/a> by making inappropriate remarks in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.</description>

<description>No, nothing dismissive in the Reverened going out of his way to observe a murder victim was "drunk" and "gives it up". And I'm sure you and the good Rev. would have no objection if someone used the same terms in reference to a murdered black woman.&lt;p>&#10;"9/1</description>
