I’m not offended by people referring to him as Silky Pony. Nor am I offended by Coulter’s joke. It’s hypocritical to yuk it up over one and throw Coulter under the bus for the other.

How many of those 20-30 bloggers referr to Edwards as Silky Pony or photoshop him as a little girl toy?

Seriously? The same group of people who draw Hitler mustaches on President Bush; the same group of people who draw cartoons of Condi Rice as a “house nigger”; the same people who think that blackface is the pinnacle of political satire — these same people are offended by depictions of Edwards as a silk pony?

Seriously?

You do know where and why Edwards got the silk pony and Breck Girl monikers, right?

Do Republicans really support the troops there?

Is Jeff Gannon really a journalist there?

Did Brownie really do a heckuva job there?

Is there a war on Christmas there?

Anyway, as someone else pointed out, Coulter stocked up on homo offsets before CPAC so her remark was faggot-neutral.

The Conference attendees who will say that they do not approve of Coulter’s “joke” will act as though they found her behavior unexpected or surprising — just as they did last year and every other time she has made similar comments. But three weeks ago, Coulter was on Fox and made virtually identical remarks — not about Edwards specifically, just the hilarious complaint that people who say the word “faggot” have to enter rehab.

No right-wing supporter (that I know of) complained when they learned that Coulter would be a featured speaker at this event. No prominent “conservative” (that I know of) refused to be a part of the event because Coulter was a featured speaker. Thus, any claims to find what she said so deeply offensive should be weighed against their much more meaningful actions in attending
