(John) Edwards Calls Coulter 'She-Devil'

[RamboLiberal]

Source: ABC News

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.

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."

Alright John!

[Gato Moteado]

1. that's nothing compared to what i call her

nt

[Skip Intro]

24. yep

me too

[connecticut yankee]

35. Actually,

I think he was being kind.

But then, he's always been a gentleman.

[Mad_Dem_X]

50. Me, too!

But regardless - way to go, JE! :applause: :yourock:

[shaniqua6392]

2. He needs to get a little more agressive!

Way to go, Senator Edwards.

[Faygo Kid]

3. Great job, John. Good for him. I don't want to play nice any more.

She-devil is way too nice for that denizen of Hell. Throw John Gibson and Melanie Morgan into that mix, too. And Lucifer himself, Rush Limbaugh. So many others, but Ann is a good start.

4. Lame insult

I know John can't go much lower and still stay within the bounds of politically acceptable discourse, but really, the woman is so much worse than a "she-devil".

[diane in sf]

19. He comes from the south where they actually take religious stuff seriously,

so maybe it's a harsher insult than it would be for you or me...

[Hawaii Hiker]

20. Agree, that was way too nice for that filithy skunk of

a human being Ann Coulter....More fitting names would be ugly pig, degenerate piece of trash, well, you get the idea...

Like John Kreese said in Karate Kid, "we do not train to be merciful, mercy is for the weak, Ann Coulter deserve no mercy"...

[Snazzy]

23. I like it

It's subtle. Strikes me as something which would play as biting to the very far right fundy/born again crowd (her base), meanwhile leaving the rest of the country thinking that's a cute tell-off. Very targeted, nice.

[Feron]

5. Love the picture LMAO

Ann Coulter is such a tool and a glorified parrot. If it weren't for her conservative shock troop schtick she'd have nothing.

[jgraz]

12. My parrot takes great offense at that

Gnocchi says: Bad Feron!



Also, most of my tools are pissed at you.

[diane in sf]

18. Nice illustration!

[The Backlash Cometh]

28. If this were the open unmoderate usenet, she'd be called

the v****a from hell. But I do understand that there are those who would complain, because they don't think she's a woman at all.

[napi21]

41. I agree, he DOES have to get more agressive! That was one of the

reasons I've been hesitant on supporting John. He's just TOO NICE.

[CBHagman]

6. Perhaps actual devils will take offense.

Isn't the legend of the Jack O'Lantern based on the notion that some people are too nasty for hell itself?

[BenDavid]

7. If I ran moveon or one of those other

organizations I would run an ad so often featuring coulter saying the following ""We need to invade Muslim countries, kill all their leaders and convert them to Christianity." -- Ann Coulter, Republican Spokeswhore.
I would run this ad and force the republicans to disavow her comment and make the christian right disavow her comment....All you have to do is fight....
I do thank you
Ben david

[Triana]

8. Annthrax Coulter is much worse than a she-devil but I agree with the Edwards'

..that name-calling just brings the dialogue down to her/their level. I think it's very wise of them to be as polite as they have been in asking her to stop her nastiness. It makes them look like what they are: MUCH higher quality people than Ms. Coulter who are too smart to engage in that type of dialogue with her. The Edwards' are doing what Ghandi said people should do: "BE THE CHANGE they want to see in the World" - I admire them for that - I admire anyone who at least TRIES to do that.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. Atta boy, John

I love the new "I don't give a shit, I'm just gonna tell it like it is" Edwards.

[countmyvote4real]

26. Me, too. That's the way it should be.

My Edwards vote won't mean shit in NY, but I'll be voting for him if they are still in the race when it gets to the primary,.

[WindRavenX]

10. bwaaaaaaaaaahahahah

:rofl:

:thumbsup: to Edwards

[weezy2736]

11. It seems like the Hardball incident put some life back into John's campaign

He's been on a roll lately. 'Attaboy, John.

[Mojambo]

13. It's not hateful language. It's just hate.

They engage in hate. Period.

[jgraz]

14. Which part was inaccurate -- the "devil" or the "she"?

bah dum boom

[saltpoint]

15. Coulter got off easy on that description.

I've heard her called things we can't repeat on DU or anyplace else.

______

Good for John Edwards.

[Mind_your_head]

16. I'm happy that he's calling 'em as he seems 'em......

that's the FIRST step to recovery.....

Coulter adds NOTHING (positive) to the political scene....and thank goodness ~ someone ~ (Edwards in this case) is 'calling her out'

Kudos to you John :applause:

edit: I didn't edit anything. I just was considering it, but then I hit the wrong button. Technology :sheesh:

[progressoid]

17. I bet he's thought of worse names (I know I have)

[Norrin Radd]

21. Annis Coultergeist

[GreenTea]

22. Smart guy that Edwards!

[Raksha]

25. Why on earth did he soften the remark by saying, "I should not have

name-called"? OF COURSE he should have, and he should keep right on doing it--WITHOUT apologies! Would Annthrax Coulter have hesitated to call him names? Has she ever? I've been saying for years that Democrats are too damn nice and it just comes across as weakness. The Repukes know they can always put us on the defensive, and the only way to stop that is to start going on the offensive and STAYING on the offensive!

[iamjoy]

31. We're Better Than They Are

That's why he shouldn't have name called.

Of course, had he said, "Ann Coulter is a mean spirited person who preaches hate disguised as politics" there would have been nothing wrong with that, but it's a lot of words. She Devil is much more succinct.

[rodeodance]

37. I get your point, yet if he is critical of name calling, then he realizes he

should not engage in name calling himself.

[NastyRiffraff]

52. You gotta understand the Souhern way of dissing someone

What Edwards did was a variation of "bless her heart" as in "Bless her heart, she just doesn't understand about not wearing white after Labor Day"

What he said was that Annthrax is a she-devil...OOPS! I shouldn't have said that. But it was said. John Edwards is a lawyer, and a good one. He knew exactly what he was doing!

[cboy4]

27. Personally, I think someone with her anti social disorder feeds

off of the attention and welcomes it.

And you know it's new material for her next book.

Personally, I would have advised both Elizabeth and him to ignore her.

They're only dignifying her comments with a response.

[glitch]

44. 10:1 she titles her next book She-Devil. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. She's accustomed to trolling for "johns", isn't she?

But then she'd go broke with what she's got to offer.

[Maribelle]

38. If there was enough money involved, Coulter would say nice things about liberals.

Coulter is a dirty piece of work - - and I’m not just talking about the morally objectionable and obscenely yapping mouth. A fraud since day one, early on Coulter caught the eye of that "faux conservative" ostentatiously rich person bankrolling the hate attacks against the Clintons.

Coulter fell in love with Richard Mellon Scaife, or should I say, fell in love with his money. Realizing the required “performance of acts for money” at the “skill level required by Scaife” were attainable, Coulter created a resume and Scaife ate it up.

Foundations set up by Scaife, with money scraped off the backs of steel workers and coal miners, proceeded to buy up most of the entire editions of Coulter’s books and give them to conservative book clubs to give away with new memberships, or sell for $1. And the MSM swallowed the deception, ergo the disingenuous birth of Coulter’s dubious fame.

Coulter’s dirty money personifies Republicans of today - - the false god even Bush worships over and above any of his “born again“ artistic presentations.

[Myrina]

40. Excellent lawyer maneuver, Mr. Edwards!

Edwards: " ... that she-devil, Ann Coulter ..."
Freepers: <I object!>
Edwards: "Strike that"
(knowing full well that a comment can't be unsaid and will stick in the minds of whoever has heard it) ...

Way to make a subtle dig at the Wicked Witch, Mr. Edwards!!

:applause: :applause:

[Dervill Crow]

60. Ack! Don't call that b*tch a Witch!

I've never seen a Witch, Wiccan, or any flavor of Pagan as nasty as that piece of work.

I completely agree with you otherwise, however. His comment was perfectly subtle, classy, and pointed.

JE rawks.

Note: Actually, speaking as the owner of a lovely female dog, it is probably insulting to canines to call that person "the B word." She-devil is probably a very good title for her.
:shrug:

[shenmue]

42. Coulter has titled every one of her books after an insult!

Who the hell is she to call the kettle black?

:dunce:

By the way, how come she's not in federal prison for voter fraud?

[Doctor_J]

43. Our people should start calling those filthy hate-spewing liars just what they are

every day, in every venue.

[rateyes]

45. He shouldn't have called her a she-devil....

He should have called her a sorry piece of shit.

[leaninglib]

46. She devil...???

[Turbineguy]

47. The other day

I referred to Dick Cheney as a "motherfucker". I didn't mean to. It just slipped out. :evilgrin:

That's why I try not to talk about republicans when my Mom is around.

[Delightful-08]

48. Ann Coulter, 'She-Devil'

The truth shall set you free.

[Tuttle]

49. I like this name best

"Paris Hitler"

suits her pretty well, I'd say

Tut-tut

[connecticut yankee]

54. That's an insult

to Paris Hilton.

[ckramer]

51. Are you guys sure it's not a 'He-Devil'?

Remember the big Adam's apple?

And anybody can get a pair of big breasts with some money.

[proust78]

57. I call her Mann Coulter

As Austin Powers says, "That's a man, baby!"

[Delightful-08]

59. Ann's apple

Goiter!

[Colorado Progressive]

53. I think her unprecedented hatred for other peoples deceased children renders her....

too much of an abomination for words. If I believed in hell I would rest well knowing thats where she would be soon. It is nice knowing whereever she ends up its not where I will be.

[dogfacedboy]

55. Quite frankly, the words I'd like to hear describing that pig

are "late", and or, "deceased".

A guy can dream, can't he?

[bamacrat]

56. That's appropriate considering she wished he would die.

She's the biggest waste of energy, space, time, oxygen etc.. next to Bill O'liely.

[peacebuzzard]

58. that cracked me up! hilarious! Go John!

someone needed to!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :yourock: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :spray:
