Coulter's Words Help Edwards Raise Cash
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 10:00 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Wednesday that conservative author Ann Coulter's attacks are hurtful as his campaign used her remarks in an appeal for money.

Edwards made his first comments to The Associated Press in response to Coulter's suggestion that she wished he would be ''killed in a terrorist assassination plot.'' His campaign cited her remarks in two e-mails to supporters for donations, with the fundraising deadline on Saturday.

It's not the first time Coulter has given the Edwards campaign a financial boost. In March, she called Edwards a ''faggot'' and the campaign used video of the comment to help raise $300,000 before the end of the first quarter.

1. Every time this bitch opens her mouth she'll raise

more money for a Democrat. That was not true in the past. People are now starting to what an idiot the scary skeleton really is. :dem:

[silverojo]

6. There's another plus to Coultergeist's latest shrieks

She's giving Edwards TONS of free publicity in the mainstream media! :rofl:

[Cha]

19. Yeah, annthrax is a tool..she's

broken for the fascists but works well for the left.

17. They've got Hillary, we've got Annthrax.

Put her mug on a direct mailer and big bux follow.

I don't really mean that as a shot at HRC (nor would I ever claim the two are equivalent if polar opposites). But let's face facts--they have their hot buttons, and we have ours. Might as well push 'em.

2. I love it Keep it up Coulter Edwards can use the money!

[midnight]

3. Don't you love it , a bad situation

turned into something more positive.

[waiting for hope]

4. At was at home to day for lunch..

Don't know the anchors name but she was giving PPPPAAaaat Buchanan a hard time: "Wouldn't you say that's making lemonade out of lemons"

:rofl: That was perfect.

5. I really wish

Edwards would just come right out and shot it to the world that since Ann Coulter aligns herself with the GOP than whatever she says is fair game to be used for fundraising.

I was so annoyed with the Democratic spokespeople who said it was in bad form to have Ann Coulter on the Edwards website to rais money. Why the f*ck is that????

If Ann Coulter wants to complain that John Edwards uses her words for fundraising then she should stop using those words. As long as she is a mouthpiece for GOP talkingpoints then she should expect the Democrats to capitalize on it.

Why we try to play nice with her is beyond me.

IMHO Democrats should use every damn word she says to their advantage.

20. Yeah, if they don't like

Edwards using her "bad form" for raising money then annthrax should shut the fuck up.

[Screwfly]

7. I saw Ann Coulter on the news today

and she talks/reasons like a stupid glue sniffer. Her weasel mouthed insults have gotten so transparent it's pitiful. Now she's all bitter because her brilliant ideas, like conquering Iraq with Yankee consumerism, have all turned to kakaka.

8. tsk, tsk,

she must be wetting her pants knowing that she is helping Edwards. LOL

[barb162]

10. I'd say it's more likely she's punching a pillow or wall

This one backfired on her.

[The Brethren]

11. I hope

it's the wall. It might affect her highly polished claws. ;-D

[barb162]

12. Maybe she'll fracture or bruise a few knuckles

heh

[The Brethren]

23. better yet,

I'd rather see her take her explosive temper out on a wall with her mouth, breaking all her teeth. Then she'd have to gum her way through all her asinine speeches. And what a pretty picture that would make, she's already a fright.

[Cha]

21. Or shitting

toxic bricks.

[The Brethren]

24. LOL

Now I'm having visuals thanks to you, of fire trucks rushing to the Coulter residence and the morning news announcing: "...and all that was left of her were her shoes."

[aquart]

9. Speak, Fool.

[Heidi]

13. Thank you for this, wakeme2008!

Kicked and recommended. :thumbsup:

:kick:

[rodeodance]

14. There is something very wrong about her saying that. very very wrong.

[EFerrari]

15. Thanks, Ann!

:rofl:

[bunkerbuster1]

18. Almost as helpful as Rush

Remember, we couldn't have won Missouri, and hence control of the Senate, without his mockery of Michael J. Fox.

[EFerrari]

16. Someone at AP reads DU, lol.

22. And the blackguard

tweety helped immeasurably!

[Orsino]

25. Is this story supposed to anger her?

It won't. She promotes only herself, and as long as Ann Coulter gets richer, she couldn't give a damn who else benefits.

It's not as though she actually believes that garbage she spews.
