Yes, that would be the Ann Coulter Mitt Romney praised today. (see below) Was she speaking to some right-wing fringe group or maybe on Rush's radio program? Nope. She was speaking at the LEADING conservative conference of the year: The Conservative Political Action Conference.
Think Progress has the video to prove it:
Ann Coulter said: “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.” Audience members said “ohhh” and then cheered.Wow these conservatives really have a lot of class.
UPDATE: John Aravosis from Americablog writes:
Not only does the New York Times story about the conference NOT mention what Coulter did, but the story DOES mention Coulter's speech generally, and how it was apparently THE BIG DRAW of the entire conference. In other words, the most anticipated speech of the entire day was the one in which the speaker called John Edwards a 'faggot,' and the mainstream media thinks this isn't newsworthy. But it is newsworthy to mention Coulter's speech generally and how important it was to the attendees. Nice.
