Some backlash notes
The backlash against Coulter's "faggot" comment continues:
- At least one newspaper has dropped her column over the comment.
- After being invited onto CNN's Paula Zahn Now and accepting the invitation, Coulter canceled. She did appear on FOX News. Some corners of the "liberal media" must be more acceptable than others.
- On March 5, Keith Olbermann awarded her the "Worst Person in the World" award.
- Glenn Greenwald points out that this slur was just another in an ongoing attack on the masculinity of Democrats: "Her aim was not to suggest that Edwards is actually gay, but simply to feminize him like they do with all male Democratic or liberal political leaders."
