Coulter && 'Faggot'

I honestly haven't been following this story at all. What has come into my peripheral has been from the business side - businesses are pulling their ads from her, and the intelligencia that maintain blogs on money (who also happen to be gay).

From a conservative man in the audience that day:
"It was an ugly atmosphere, designed to make any gay man or woman in the room feel marginalized and despised. To put it simply, either conservatism is happy to be associated with that atmosphere, or it isn't. I think the response so far suggests that the conservative elites don't want to go there, but the base has already been there for a very long time."

I agree with this sentiment. I have always attributed negativity and hate with the right side of the political spectrum. Democrats are more supportive and accepting of people who are different.
