From Raw StoryÂÂ
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,” according to a blog post at ABC News. Excerpts:
Edwards, D-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.
“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. … I should not have name-called. But the truth is — forget the names — people like Ann Coulter, they engage in hateful language.”

I totally disagree.
ABC engaged in pure journalistic negligence.
They probably should have covered the real story about John Edwards that was posted in the Wall Street Journal.
But, the elitists continue to tell the audience, “The customer is always wrong and too stupid to know what good Journalism is.â€Â

Devil’s Advocate-
Give me a break! What I always wonder here is WHY THE HECK THE MSM CONTINUES TO GIVE ANN COULTER A CHANCE TO MAKE HER HATE-FILLED SCREEDS OF NONSENSE. Now of course, Ann Coulter has EVERY RIGHT to say whatever she wants. I’m not trying to take away her free speech rights. HOWEVER, these media outlets also have the right to NOT BOOK ANN COULTER TO GO ON THE PROGRAMS TO ALLOW HER TO LAUNCH HER SCREEDS. So why do they keep doing it? I guess since they profit from her book sales (either the parent companies publish her books or sell ads to companies that publish her books), they are in on her nonsense.
So please, don’t try to paint Ann Coulter as some kind of victim. She’s not, as she profits off of every time the MSM pays attention to her. If want to talk to a REAL VICTIM in this never-ending saga, ask the 9/11 widows… OR the Clintons… OR Elizabeth Edwards.
This is how one handles Ann Coulter

When I read Ann Coulter’s book, Godless, I came to a part in her book when she was saying that liberals always use victims as spokespeople so that they are immune from criticism (Sheehan, Jersey Girls, Michael J. Fox, etc..
That was a very valid point because once you enter the political domain, you should expect to be criticized.
But, when Coulter then pulled the typical Coulter and said the Jersey Girls enjoyed their husband’s deaths; I literally threw the book down in anger. She had a valid point and then ruined it.
The same goes with her calling John Edwards the F-word. She was making the point that everyone going to rehab for making bad comments, like the guy from the hospital sitcom, is ridiculous. But, then she said that she’d have to go to rehab too if she called John Edwards the F-word. Well, it was a stupid joke, in poor taste, and hurts her cause.
With that all being said, the continued misquoting of Ann Coulter’s statement about John Edwards being killed by a terrorist is ridiculous
In context, Ann was talking about Bill Maher who said that he thought it would be good if Vice President Cheney was killed in a trip to Afghanistan. Ann complained that the mainstream media did not think that was a hateful enough comment to be discussed. So, instead, Ann Coulter said, “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.†In context, the joke makes sense.
If you take the last quote by itself, it sounds like she wanted Edwards to be killed by a terrorist.
So, maybe you should gain some intellectual honesty and admit when your people are blatantly wrong..
