Max Blumenthal of The Nation has a video report of the lowlights of the CPAC conference, including the Ann Coulter "Faggot" moment:
In light of Ann use of the word in her speech, and the resounding response from the crowd, it's clear that the word is acceptable to Republicans. I will use it from now on to refer to:
Andrew Sullivan
Mark Foley (R-FL)
David Dreier (R-CA)
State Senator Paul Koering (R-MN)
Log Cabin Republicans
Jeff Gannon
And last but not least, Mary Cheney
Faggots, every one of them.
After all, if Ann can say it, so can I.
Update: I got to thinking. Maybe it wasn't right to call gay Republicans faggots.
I mean, Ann used the word in reference to John Edwards. a straight married-with-children Democrat.
No, it wouldn't be right.
Like Ann, we should be able to call anyone we dislike faggots, including the Republican presidential candidates at the CPAC:
Rudy Giuliani
Mitt Romney
Mike Huckabee
Dick Cheney
Yep. Everyone a faggot.
In fact, here's the new party logo:
