Ann Coulter was in the news earlier this month for her use of the term 'faggot' in referring to John Edwards.
Lost in the frenzy was a legitimate point: that political correctness has created de facto thought crime; it's just prosecuted via the media, instead of in the courts.
I view Coulter's comment as being a bit similar to John Kerry's botched joke about how if you're stupid, you get "stuck in Iraq."
He was referring to Bush's ordering the invasion, not actual military service; but since perception is reality, everyone thought he was attacking soldiers.
So, Ann, the next time you feel the urge to denounce the overly sensitive pansies who whine every fucking time someone merely feels offended, please do the rest of us a favor...
...and do it in a way that isn't so fucking RETARDED.
