Mr. Pot, leave Mr. Kettle alone.
Ann Coulter turned a lot of heads by referring to John Edwards as a "faggot" and then followed up her remarks by saying she wouldn't denigrate gays by comparing them to John Edwards.
Demands from various individuals and groups have been for her to apologize for her remarks.
I don't think she should. Not until some others do first.
After all, some of these SAME people have nothing to say when THEY refer to their political opponents (or the U.S. military--SENATOR DURBIN) as "Nazis" or other foul expressions.
It's opposite sides of the same coin. Throw the thing out.
But these people shouldn't go crying foul while overlooking the use of the Nazi label against the other side. "Nazi" hurts just as much as the aforementioned gay slur.
It's just more of the "I'm going to hit you. Don't hit me back" routine.
