So Ann Coulter all but called John Edwards a "faggot." Surprise! And the members of CPAC cheered -- again, nothing new here.
Of course, Coulter's hate remark, and CPAC's hateful response, was not even mentioned on the Sunday morning political talk shows. In fact, they seemed to go out of their way to avoid the issue.
But the worst part of this whole mess is the Democratic presidential candidates. The three "major" names, Clinton, Obama and Edwards, have all come out against equaltiy. Every one of them waffles and hems and haws, but they all say what amounts to the same thing -- they are against equal rights for all people.
And neither Nancy Pelosi nor Harry Reid has said a word.
The Democratic party is supposed to be the party of reform and equality. It is supposed to stand up for those who are kept down. But when the rubber hits the road, where are the leaders of the party? They're hiding their heads in the sand.
It's disgusting!
I, for one, will not to contribute a dime to anyone who, on the issue of equality, is as much a miserable failure as George W. Bush.
Shame on you, Hillary. Shame on you, Barack. Shame on you, John. And shame on all Democrats who don't truly believe in an America where all people are created equal.
