The clip is sickening, in that watching a thoughtful, successful woman and mother confront a cheap coward isn't pretty.

Ann Coulter and those like her must be sidelined.

It's time.

Go, Elizabeth, Go.

Elizabeth Edwards is a bright woman. However, she needs to learn what some of us have learned here: Don't feed the trolls. Smile and go your own way until you find a voodoo priest or priestess and pay a few dollars for poison pins strategically inserted. Unless you are as sneaky and snarky as the trolls are, you are bound to lose, even when you are right (maybe especially when you are right). Personally, I am as sneaky and snarky as some of our favorite trolls, but, like maggots, they just keep slipping and sliding back. Not worth getting maggot snot on your hands. Elizabeth, let Ann Coulter rot in hell and enjoy your life and family.

I am dissapointed that CM would have this comedian on his show. She (AC) is a money mad bloodthirsty devil. I do not know if I can ever watch Hardball after this.

Ann Coulter is a bitch who is doing something highly dishonorable for attention. How is it helpful at all to call Mr. Edwards a "faggot", say that he "should've been killed by a terrorist attact", or make this type of remarks about the man's dead son.
I'm not as polite about this as Mrs. Edwards, so
Burn in Hell, Ann Coulter!

I'm no fan of Ann Coulter, but Elizabeth Edwards came off really bad here. I understand she wants to help her husband's campaign, but going after someone like Coulter is a cheap way to do it.

Pat Smith, Bend Oregon — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 23:53:26 GMT

I used to have respect for Chris Matthews but for him to bring on Ann Coulter who does a disservice to the Republican as well as the Democratic party with her hateful venom. Elizabeth Edwards has more decency in her little fingure than Coulter does in her whole body. As for Mattews, I have watched him for the last time. I used to live in DC area and worked for Catholic Charities and know he and his wife Kathleen have done much for the church but this lady is not christian (yet she wears her cross). The more air time she gets the more books she sells to a narrow group of biggots. God have mercy on her wrecthed soul. Chris you are a shill and have lost all credibility with me and thousands more I am sure after this spectacle today.

Vince Benedict, Collegeville, PA — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 23:54:19 GMT

How typical of John Edwards to send his wife out whining to do his work. Yes, I'm sorry they lost their son, but what does that have to do with his ability to lead the nation? We should vote for him because he lost his son? The obverse is we should NOT vote for him had he NOT lost his son-- that's how stupid is Mrs. Edwards' reasoning. Edwards is just another rich spoiled brat liberal who wants to take from those who produce and give what he takes to those who don't produce -- so long at it doesn't come out of his pocket. His wife is a just another liberal freeloader, riding his coattails -- hoping he'll wind up in the White House so she can spend our money redecorating that white elephant. Liberal "compassion" -- it's enough to make you puke.

Joyce Chonis, Los Angeles, CA — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 23:55:11 GMT

Chris, why in the world do you give the woman (AC) air time? I truly think she is few fries short of a Happy Meal. When you give her air time you are advocating this type of hatred. Sure she sells books but you have to ask yourself, what type of person buys her books? People who hate?

Please do not lower the standards of your show.

David Kelly, Brooklyn, NY — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 23:55:28 GMT

Funny but the transcript leaves out the host Chris Matthews correcting Coulter and stating that Ms. Edwards did not ask her to stop speaking. Rather she asked that she stop being so personally negative.

Why is that missing?

I know I just said that troll baiting wasn't worth getting maggot snot on your Doc Martins, but... all this talk about Ann Coulter reminded me that I need to go out back and shoot rats. As I was emptying the clip on my vintage Uzi, all of a sudden an ancient Antarctic proverb popped into my mind. I can't imagine what it is about Ann Coulter that made me think of this, but I wanted to share it. Maybe it will shed some light on the subject: "People with big mouths also have deep throats." Don't really understand it, but maybe Ann will know what it means. Nothing personal, Ann. If you can't take a joke...

I am tired of the hate that spews from the mouth of Ann Coulter. Every time she is challenged on her comments she says it was a joke. Nobody with any brains believes that. She is rude, crass, and classless - a perfect representative of the conservative, right wing of this country - just kidding!

Dr. Annie, Maryland — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:04:22 GMT

It is a sad commentary on the state of this country that a person with the education level of Ms. Coulter resorts to such shameful personal and mean-spirited attacks against people with whom she does not agree.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Bob Evans, York, PA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:04:33 GMT

As usual Ann Coulter avoided the question by framing the debate in black and white terms. Elizabeth Edwards was NOT asking her to stop speaking, nor even was she asking her to stop her cynical political commentary, she was instead simply requesting a dialog that doesn't include cheap and slanderous personal attacks, something Ann Coulter is obviously incapable of doing. Why Chris Matthews would give this vile woman any airtime at all is beyond me. If only the MSM would stop sinking to the depths of the likes of Ann Coulter and start giving us some real, intelligent conversation about the issues.

Bob Martin — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:14:53 GMT

Ann Coulture is a relic of the Bush Cheney credibility mackine. If she would listen to her words she would realize she sounds as sick as she looks. We can do without the mindless republican spin machine dropping more lies onto the American people. I am so surprised she still can gather 25 people to lisren to her spew her hate and lies. I'm so glad that ALL of the spinmysters are recognised and given less than a grain of salt for their thoughts. Go retire this old looking horse to Cheneys ranch of ill reputes.

Ann Coulter is an evil woman for wishing, or even thinking, that the best thing any American President could accomplish is be assaisinated. I wouldnt wish death by such an evil means on my worse enemy. Anyone who does, and claims to be an American, needs to be shot. She is a pathetic human being.

William Johnson, Venice, CA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:36:50 GMT

Kudos to Mrs. Edwards for attempting in a very generous and dignified manner to elevate the conversation out of the schoolyard and back into the issue-oriented political arena. But I guess for the Ann Coulter's and Rush Limbaugh's of the world, without the playground pushing and shoving, they have nothing of substance to say and will continue their "I know you are but what am I" dialogue. Unfortunately the country thought it was cute the first time around. Fortunately, the country's not laughing anymore, and now we can only pray that Ann Coulter will be "expelled" from the schoolyard altogether (or at least sat in the corner with a much-earned dunce cap).

Hurray for Mrs. Edwards. No, Ann Coulter, we can't stop you from speaking because of freedom of speech, but I can and did, turn the t.v. off after hearing you for about five minutes. Anyone with a heart would never make fun of another person's child's death. It was intolerable and most of what you said in those five minutes was nothing but lies. Iraq attacked us? Oh please! There actually were weapons of mass destruction? We went to war with Iraq because of the rape rooms? What are you talking about? Well, as I said, you can speak, but I can shut you off.

Ann Coulter is an entertainer. She has no business offering political opinions or anything else remotely important to the political process. Matthews should know better and stop having her on. His little bit of credibility is quickly evaporating.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Jodi, St. Joseph, MO — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:03:25 GMT

It is unfortunate that the garbage that AC spews was hurtful enough to EE that she attempted to have a polite conversation with the vile, foul-mouthed AC. That was a tremendous waste of energy and good will which would be better spent ignoring the nauseating language of AC.
I have yet to figure out who it is that I may actually know that listens to AC, pays to listen to her, or better yet purchases her books. It truly disgusts me that it could be someone who is sitting next to me in church. It also disgusted me that CM had her on again. I immediately switched to CNN and I consider myself a loyal Hardball fan. I would appreciate it if neither EE or CM stooped to such lows again.

Michael Preszler, Cape Girardeau, Mo — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:09:03 GMT

Again, Ann Coulter would rather talk over then actually listen to what someone is saying. How did this woman (term used to be polite) ever survive to adulthood?? Maybe her mother should have taken Roe v. Wade to heart on this one. Just my opinion.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Steven Litts, Jenkins, Ky. — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:09:38 GMT

Ms. Coulter has one simple mantra. She uses her apparent lack of dignity and self-respect to 'cut and run' in another direction using crude, irresponsible, impertinent and condesending remarks to get off topic. She seems to have no respect for anything except money. Even though she wore a cross, the person who lives by Christian faith in that conversation was clearly demonstrated by the grace and dignity of Mrs. Edwards. No matter how successful Ms. Coulter is with her publications, she will ultimately pay a dear price for her routine display of anything but Christian behavior. Remember the old saying,"what goes around comes around?" I hope I live long enough to see Ms. Coulter get her dose of 'come around'.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Jamie, Elmwood Park, IL — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:14:56 GMT

What I'd like to know is why the media (other than
the right-wing) would want to give Coulter any air time. She spouts nothing but poison - from calling the 911 widows harpies and worse, to wishing people dead. What's even worse is that Chris Matthews let her get away with it. I never heard Elizabeth Edwards ask her to stop speaking - only to stop personal attacks, yet Matthews let Coulter say a number of times that Edwards asked her to stop speaking. I guess ratings go up when you allow people to lie and attack.

Sarah Cook, State College, PA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:15:12 GMT

Why do people continue to give Ann Coulter a venue to spread her toxic message? What gives her any legitimacy at all in today's political debate? I don't understand why someone so hateful and cruel is given a platform to be cruel. There are plenty of respectful yet spirited commentators on all sides of the political debate, and Coulter is not one of them.

Valerie Maloney, Vienna VA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:22:16 GMT

It was so unfair to hear Elizabeth Edwards, who obviously had time to prepare her remarks, attacking Ann Coulter, who had no idea what was coming. I was hoping that when Mrs. Edwards accused Ann of making personal remarks, Ann would remember that it was Mrs. Edwards who went after Mary Cheney last year regarding Cheney's sexual orientation. I heard Elizabeth Edwards on a radio show repeating it over and over to the point I wanted to say, yes, we heard you the first time. On MSNBC tonight she was representing herself "as a mother" and yet had no compassion in 2004 year for Lynne Cheney "as a mother" even though it backfired when John Kerry repeated it too and Satturday Night Live did a parody. It made me think that what comes around certainly goes around. Elizabeth Edwards seems to be to running to hide behind Chris Matthews just like Anne Coulter said Hilllary did behing Rehm Emmanuel. I will make no comments whatsover about the size of Elizabeth Edwards' legs.

Kurt, Austin, Texas — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:26:12 GMT

I can't believe that you haven't included in the transcripts of this dialogue and it's aftermath where Anne Coulter said that she wishes John Edwards would die in a terrorist attack!!!! Are you deliberately trying to cover-up that portion of the commentary???!! Or are you perhaps ashamed that you even had Anne Coulter as a guest speaker on your program??? What Anne Coulter is VERY good at is distracting the people from the real issues, the real important news such as Dick Cheney's attempt to shut the American public (whom he works for & acts in our name) out of his secret affairs and how he handles information regarding national security!!! Who cares what this woman thinks??! She has on so many occasions shown that she has no legitimate place in a respectable or responsible journalistic arena. It is very shameful of Hardball, it's staff & producers to allow this woman on the show just because she can sell books and divert peoples attention from legitimate issues that affect our country's future. I would STRONGLY suggest that Hardball admits it's gross and frankly extremely cheap error in this case.

I really don't care for Ann Coulter's style. She is brash, rude, and arrogant. But she is also blunt, to the point and brutaly honest. John Edwards is a BS artist of the highest order. He is a hypocrite to boot. I do not believe for one moment that he didn't know anything about this phone call. Elizabeth Edwards has been through plenty of political campaigns. She would not go out on her own and make such a call. it was planned, it was strategy, it was approved by John Edwards. It was done to gain sympathy. Ann was wrong when she made the "joke" about the Edwards' son. Elizabeth is wrong in using the issue to raise money and to gain political points. Smart voters won't buy the BS from either of them.

I do not understand Ann Coulter. She appears to have no grasp of the issues and Chris Matthews looked liked he was doing some mighty heavy lifting by the time the "interview" ended. She stays in the spotlight because she refuses to do what Mrs. Edwards suggested-raise the level of discourse and stop picking on people.Mrs.Edwards tried hard but it was futile.I shut the TV off. My heart broke for Mrs. Edwards. Ann Coulter should never, ever say she is a Christian woman. She needs help.

I typically enjoy hearing both sides of an issue. Even if I may not agree, it's interesting to hear another point of view, provided of course there's an actual basis for the argument. Inane, baseless spewing on the other hand, just sounds like someone yelling on the playground and is actually discrediting, regardless of which side is being advocated. It's sad to see this platform come to this.

As a wife and a mother I would have done the same thing. You don't get to mess with our husbands and children.

The only reason for Ann to say those things is for her on personal gain, I put her in the same boat as Rosie O’Donnell. As a republican I am ashamed of Ann Coulter!

Ann Coulter,
Find a brain in the near future so you can actually "talk" with someone that has a brain.
You can't call yourself a "talk show host" when you don't "host" or "talk"; sadly, you need to be the "show" or you can't accept it. Small minds require small thinking.
Don't bother to reply, as I am sure it would only be a sarcastic statement to justify yourself to yourself.

Tom Leo East Hampton, NY — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 09:17:55 GMT

Ann Coulter is to American politics what Paris Hilton is to the American pornographic industry: amoral, bored, self-indulgent exhibitionist who trade on being shocking and provacative. Their shared anorexic talents are equally ingenious, creative, original and talented.

They are as equally memorable as they use what cleverness they muster to ruthlessly promote themselves, seeming to care not a whit what danger they recklessly pose, not just to themselves, but to all others who stand by watching in faxcinating disbelief. Paris and Ann both seem to feed on an almost veneareal craving for attention and publicity even if they appear not to notice the disgust and snickering they elicit from the public and a fawning media. Their self-indulgence is intensely unattractive and not at all as alluring as they try so hard to convince themselves.
Paris and Ann are joined at the hip however freakish and trashy people view their meanness.

Ann C. Coulter is the lowest form of media worm and you, Chris Matthews continue to give her a forum.

You were the moderator of a presidential debate. What gives you credibility for that kind of role any longer. You cannot say that you would give over our show to such exploitation and have credibility. You should be ashamed of yourself as should your producers. Imus should have your show.

Too bad Chris Matthews wasn't hosting a TV show back in the early 40s, he could hyave performed an act of oral 'appreciation' upon Adolphus Hitler himself and then asked "What's all the Fuhrer about?" Swiftboat-styled endlessly-repeating echo-chamber right-wing pro-fascist false journalism is bad, it just sucks. Some people don't deserve a platform. ...free speech? Yes! ABSOLUTELY! An internationally broadcast television platform? Absolutely not. Chris Matthews has abused his position at MSNBC for about a decade now, MSNBC should FINALLY grow a pair and fire him and just go ahead and give Ann Coulter his job and his paycheck. We'll see how long THAT Michael Weiner Savage-situation lasts.

Ann Coulter is right.

Ann Coulters flippant attitude, and dismissal of Elizabeth Edwards requests was appalling. Mrs. Edwards called as a mother....to ask that woman to stop attacking her family. Coulters attitude that because it was a couple of years ago....or a couple of days ago, it doesn't matter is such a crock. She was rude yesterday during the phone call to Mrs. Edwards. I understand that is her style, which is why I don't pay attention to her. MSNBC would do better to have credible individuals on their shows instead of a blonde who thinks way to much of herself. People with substance and character, not a nut job just trying to sell books off of her looks and calling it political commentary.

This is typical Ann Coulter -- she avoids the topic Elizabeth Edwards presents, tries to turn it around to make herself a victim ("The wife of a presidential candidate is asking me to stop speaking"), then after the call engages in ad hominem attacks.

Edwards is right -- Coulter debases political discourse. I know Coulter is brought on shows because her attacks are perceived as "entertaining," but she ads nothing of substance to the shows.

Ann Coulter uses debate techniques that distract attention away from the issue. She does not address the question, and her statements are typically of ugly content. Her debate techniques are not legitimate. Those that are most responsible for her ascendency to publicity are those that buy her books and those that put her on television. She should be ignored for not engaging in legitimate debate.

Thank you Elizabeth!! It's hate speak that is tearing this country apart. My mom always taught me that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. It's unfortunate that more parents didn't teach that and folks like AC are given air time to spew garbage.

I don't think that Elizabeth Edwards should have wasted her time calling in to Ann Coulter. You can't get through to someone who has a reprobate mind. Ann Coulter is totally lost. Elizabeth would have had more success trying to explain the Middle East crisis to my five year old.

It's easy to understand Coulter, the controversial conservative commentator. She makes big bucks doing what she does so why should she stop. It's clear to me, she has sold her sole to make money. Just another reason to vote against what she stands for. Keep up the nasty remarks about good people, you are more help than you realize.

Ann Coulter is an angry and insecure, person. Mrs. Edwards is a sweetheart. They are miles apart concerning what is an unhealthy personality and what is a healthy one. If what goes around comes around is true,or God is watching us, Ms. Coulter is in big trouble.

B. E. Travers, Richmond, VA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:04:28 GMT

I have never before in my life responded to a poll or sent comments to any media about anything or person. But, I must say that the interview-exchange between Ann Coulter and Mrs. Edwards showed what a sick, twisted minded person Ann Coulter is. MSNBC should never have staged young teens behind this woman, giving the impression that the teens supported her evilness. Shame on MSNBC.

JDA, Cary, NC — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:08:25 GMT

Chris, you obviously are pleased with the ratings you will get over this and subsequent interviews to talk about this. Bottom line is that AC is slime. Ann Coulter has the right to say whatever she wants, but I would hope that as this election season proceeds that you will consider hosting folks with serious views and not bullies trying to make a buck by personal attacks.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Paul Miller, Woodbridge, VA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:08:54 GMT

Coulter is just an ugly person. Matthews should have known better than waste airtime on this juvenile crap. There are lots of other folks who can present the same policy viewpoints in a more mature manner, and those ought to be the folks MSNBC and Matthews present to their audiences.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Denise Gorsline, Moorhead, MN — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:11:50 GMT

I've read this exchange several times, and Anne Coulter continues in her trademark style of offering a quip instead of responding to a legitimate question. For a woman who I suppose wants her comments to be taken seriously, she only turns to poor humor to respond. I can't even describe the difference between Eizabeth Edwards asking her to stop using personal attacks and asking Anne Coulter to stop speaking, yet that's the concluson Coulter draws. I applaud Elizabeth Edwards for confronting this behavior.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Joan Yakimischak — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:13:04 GMT

Dear Mr. Matthews -

Shame on Ann Coulter! And shame on you, Mr. Matthews, for not calling it like the viewing audience saw it - Ann Coulter is a bully and had no intelligent rebuttal to Elizabeth Edwards other than to accuse her of trying to curtail her freedom of speech. Coutler knew she was being made publicly accountable for her cheap shots and she reacted as all cowards do - she made a flimsy attack on the person who had the nerve to stand up to her. In no way did Elizabeth Edwards remotely suggest that Ann Coulter "stop speaking" and had I been in Mrs. Edwards' shoes, I would have asked to meet with Coulter on your show face to face and ask her to look me in the eye and repeat what she said about my dear dead son. If Mrs. Edwards had been allowed more air time, no doubt Coulter sooner or later would have resorted to the childish 'I know you are but what am I'...

I just saw your interview on Today, Mr. Matthews. To call Ann Coulter an 'agent provocateur' is to give her too much credit. I think the term 'sh** disturber' hits closer to the mark. It's easier to fly off at the mouth and say things to provoke an arguement - just ask any parent of a 14-yr-old - than it is to make a thoughtful comment that provokes intelligent debate.

Perhaps it's time people take a harder look at Coulter. Her body language (shoulders hunched inward, hair flipping) is not the posture of someone who is secure in their own skin. Her hair is her security blanket, which is why Coulter touches it and flips it back when she is feeling threatened. How are her finger nails? If they aren't well-manicured it's a dead giveaway that this isn't the most confident woman in the world, no matter what comes out of her mouth.

BTW - What is it with Ann Coulter and the black cocktail dresses before 6 pm? Someone tell her to get a clue - the aging call-girl look is not attractive...

Lila Richman — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:17:23 GMT

I am so incensed at this moment that I find it difficult to put into words the disrespect I have for Chris Matthews to even allow this so-called "lady" named Ann Coulter to have an avenue to spew her hate. At what price do we need to boost our ratings, Chris? To quote a famous attorney at another famous trial some years ago, "Have you no shame?" To allow a forum for this "snake" to spew her venom is like having Hitler on to boost your viewing public. She has made a fortune out of appealing to the worst in people. Do you have to aid and abet her?

Shame, shame, shame on you!

Dr. Jeffrey Schneider, Griffin, GA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:18:39 GMT

Ann Coulter is above all a school yard bully who uses hate speech to threaten and silence those who disagree with her. In polite society, we learn at a very young age that we should refrain from name calling and taunts in order to communicate effectively. Her speech amounts to little more than mean-spirited grade school rhetoric. She has proven herself to be a homophobic, insensitive, and viscious hate monger, yet programs like yours continue to give her a platform from which to spew her venom. Hate speech is hate speech--silence her now!

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Kurt Peterson — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:18:57 GMT

Dear MSNBC,
By the constraints placed on this blog by MSNBC, Ann Coulter herself should not be allowed to blog on this site or issue comments on any subject, since she uses innappropriate language and attacks the comments of others, rather that debate the meat-and-potatoes issues. I think it's embarassing and shameful for Chris Matthews to decry her inappropriateness and demagoguery on the one hand, and then to accept the extra money coming in from sensationalism garnered by her "I'll say anything for a buck" attitude. She is to journalism what Paris Hilton is to the Hotel Industry--a guaranteed audience that gathers mostly to get a glance at the most hated woman in America. Cancer, children dying young, intentionally false innuendo put forth about candidate's personal lives...she is the worst nightmare of the Founding Fathers, regarding how the Freedom of the Press clause Bill of Rights would be interpreted, 200 years on. I would like to know what her "job" is so that I could perhaps follow her around and see what her bumper stickers read, who she has lunch with, who is sneaking out of her house in the early morning hours, etc. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

And thus is why Ann Coulter is a insane moron. She has No right to bash on anyone about their son who has died in thier youth.

Kevin Mobley, Allen, Texas — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:29:33 GMT

Elizabeth Edwards is right on the money. Coulter and her ilke stoop to diverting from the issues and reduce focus to personal and in this case hurtful issues - it transforms Hardball from an insightful forum where all sides of a debate can be aired into a circus worthy of Jerry Springer. Coulter, I'm sure she has something to add to our society - if only an example of how not to conduct yourself in a public forum. I hope you never sell another book based upon the contoversey you stirr up. Edwards - 1, Coulter - ZERO.

Ann Coulter is a foul-mouthed hack who is making a fortune off of ignorant right wing extremists who buy her trashy fiction novels. I love how they eat up her hyperbole! These are so-called religious folks who laugh when she advocates killing or calls people outrageous names. I am glad the majority of Americans are waking up and walking away from the outlandish pundits who have divided our country for so long. Elizabeth--you're a class act.

Derek, New Haven, CT — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:33:09 GMT

What Ann Coulter fails to understand is the fact that Elizabeth Edwards is not asking her to stop speaking, but rather to engage in an intelligent conversation. However, what Elizabeth fails to understand is that Ann is incapable of comprehending civilized complicated thoughts and ideas. Ann is like a child that is attempting to revolt by dumbing down every argument to its simplest form. What is surprising is the fact that although there are always people like Ann Coulter in the world, I find it funny that a major political party is constantly reaching out to her. Shame on the Republican party for continued invitations and acceptance of Ann Coulter at major party events and fundraisers.

So Ann Coulter made a joke.......I hope I hear what she has to say if she ever loses a child.....when all of a sudden, all this BS she throws out means absolutely nothing in light of her child being dead. She just doesn't have a clue about real life! I'm sorry for her and her empty stone cold heart.

Michael Yantorno, Darien, CT — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:36:19 GMT

I have a problem with Ann Coulter. She is generally style and no substance, and the style is bad. There are conservatives that I respect whose opinions I may disagree with, but I recognize that they have actually studied and thought about the issues. Ann is not one of them.
My real issue is that Chris Matthews or his producers have given her a platform from which to spew her venom. I do want to hear all legitimate points of view on issues that face our country, but we don’t need to hear from the self-promoting Ann Coulter.

This women talking about Elizabeth Edward's child has mental issues. How she can sleep with herself at night is beyond me. But by the way she dresses for a formal middle of the day interview on Hardball, she probably doesn't. I strongly suggest to every true American enough is enough. Politics is not going after a canidates dead son.

Charles Buzbee, Hammond, Louisiana — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:45:48 GMT

Why does MSNBC and Chris Matthews give a platform to someone like Ann Coulter? All she does is promote herself. She appears to be the Paris Hilton of politics. All show and nothing to add. What is she doing now promoting a new book? That is usually when she comes "out" of the shadows.

mike kohr Princeton, IL — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:47:45 GMT

How ironic that the ambiguously gendered Ann Coulter has smeared John Edwards with an anti-gay slur, and mocks the death of his son. Edwards, a dedicated husband,father and a public servant has put his good fortune and hard work into the service of others.
Coulter, single, middle aged, and amean spirited harpy from hell, serves only herself and the sales of her bile filled books she hawks to the hate mongers of the radical right..

Ann Coulter has a right to free speech.
I think its reprehensible that people WISH and pray for George Bush to DIE, but I respect their right to say it. When I disagree with someone's political position - I dont vote for them. Simple as that. If I dont like Al Franken's positions - Im not going to buy his books.
Use your vote; use your dollar. Those two tend to get faster results than pleading.

Ann Coulter, just another George Bush puppet. When people like her get set back on their heels for the position on the state of America, their voices go up trying to drown out debate on the subject, most likely because deep down they know they are wrong. Ann constantly gripes about liberals, but don't you dare ask her to shut up about her free speech rights!

AC is ridiculous she just keeps saying you want me to stop talking and I wont, that is not the point EE made. She asked her to stop talking about a specific point with AC never really addressed. She thinks by ranting on about a peripheral issue she can avoid the real issue raised. Blowhards on both sides are a joke.

Frank Bailey — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:52:35 GMT

Ann Coulter is an ass, they only difference between her and the 4 legged type is she walks upright (I think). The only reason anyone puts her on the shows is because she brings ratings which is all this is about anyway. Coulter is no different then the bully at a middle school, does not know when to shut up and really will not. Think about it folks, when was the last time she said something positive about anything, she is the poster child for why the United States has gone to the point it has. No Values, No heart, just a big mouth.

Kudos to Elizabeth Edwards for standing up to a political bully. Ann Coulters comments are poor attempts at humor, which is usually in very bad taste. These low brow personal attacks do debase the political dialogue. It is amazing that there are so many political candidates today, with the personal attacks that take place in lieu of intellligent discussion, as well as give and take dialogue. Again, hurray for Elizabeth Edwards taking a stand against a bully!

2. She did not address the main question and request of EEdwards; and thatCMatthews did nothing to center the conversation, only demonstrates how unprincipled he is.

Ann Coulter is a political vulture. I still do not understand why so-called respected journalists allow her to be on their shows anymore. She is in the same category as Michelle Malkin and serious journalists should not waste time with people like Ann and Michelle.

If Edwards has to send his wife out to deal with a reporter who’s being tough on him why should we elect him president? The president will have to deal with KGB Putin, Madman Kim, the clown in Iran and the punk in Venezuela. If Edwards isn’t man enough to deal with Ann Coulter how does he expect us to trust him to deal with these individuals?

Ann is not controversial. She has an agenda to make herself the voice of hate and ugly politics. She is the best example of what is wrong with politics when this kind of divised people have a tv forum for their hate or oportnunism

Steve Donahue — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:57:13 GMT

Ann Coulter is the perfect pitchman for the Republican Party. Full of hate and venom. Lacking any decorum or taste. And when the tide turns against her as it has the GOP, then it is time to go on the attack with a take no prisoners attitude.

I am sick and tired of her message of hate. She and Cheney and Bush and all of the others who are trying to greate an us patriots vs. you liberal pinko commie fags nation, can just go to hell.

If Ann Coulter were a short, stocky, average-looking brunette, would she even be on these shows? She simply screeches her vindictive opinions, and does not listen or respond in reasonable ways to anyone who disagrees with her. I am a fan of Hardball, but did not even tune in when I heard that he actually asked her to be on his show for an hour - mainly, I'm sure, for ratings. If he wants to be fair, give Rosie O'Donnell an hour.

Virginia, Nashville, TN — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 12:57:28 GMT

Typical Ann. Instead of addressing the issue Elizabeth brought up -- which was the personal attacks that Ann trades in -- Ann pretends that Elizabeth asked her not to speak at all. Well, I guess that's appropriate, seeing as if Ann gave up her hatemongering speech, she'd have nothing to say.

Mike Ganino, Bridgeport, CT. — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:01:24 GMT

It is readily apparent that Ms. Coulter is only concerned with throwing incindiary devices. The attacks that she forments on serve to knock civility and good taste from the mantel.

The unwillingness of Ms. Coulter to "rain" in her contempt and the willingness of the news media in general to assist her in her efforts casts a pale on all.

To trivialize the death of a child and to wish for the death of another human being is quite the commentary on Ms. Coulter.

ELIZABETH EDWARDS IS CORRECT. ALL LEGITIMATE POLITICAL CONVERSATIONS AND DIFFERENCES OF OPINION SHOULD ALWAYS BE WELCOMED, BUT THE EMPHASIS HERE IS ON 'LEGITIMATE'. ALL CONVERSATIONS SHOULD BE DONE THROUGH LOVE AND NOT HATE. LOVE OF YOUR POSITION TO HELP OTHERS AND DO WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT. THIS CAN ONLY BE DONE THROUGH LOVE BECAUSE IT IS ONLY THIS THAT WILL BENEFIT EVERYONE. HATE JUST DRAWS US ALL DOWN FURTHER INTO THE HOLE OF ILLUSIONS WHERE THEY BECOME THE EMPHASIS AND THE DISTRACTION AWAY FROM THE TRUTH. ANN SEEMS TO DWELL WITHIN THE CORNER OF HER MIND'S EGO AND SELF-CENTEREDNESS AND IT IS ONLY THE EGO THAT DEMANDS THAT THE TRUTH NOT BE HEARD FOR THEN IT WOULD DESTROY THE EGO AND ITS SELF-IMAGE. IT IS TIME TO LET OUR EGO'S AND SELF-IMPORTANCE GO AND DISCUSS IN THE LIGHT OF DAY THE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT AFFECT US ALL THROUGH THE LOVE OF OUR FELLOWMAN AND NOT JUST THE LOVE OF OUR EGO.THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR THE TRUTH THAT WILL FREE US ALL TOGETHER. LOVE OF AND FOR EACH OTHER IN THIS DISCUSSION WILL BRING US TO THIS POINT.

Coulter has been caught in so many outragious lies over time, I'm surprised anyone actually listens to her, or cares what she say's. Just a pathetic drone babbling on trying to pretend she actually knows something. Pathalogical liar is the correct term for her.

Roy Stark — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:01:50 GMT

I agree that Ann Coulters comments were originally made as a joke. In poor taste. But I am appalled at the extreme liberal lefts attempts to demonize her. I have noticed over the years that liberals love to hate, demonize and literally poke fun at Christians because they think that anyone of faith is "stupid". When I hear a Democrat insist that they pray we laugh!
That is nothing but an attempt to hijack religion for political reasons. Another sore point is the liberal lefts consist bashing the military, Republicans, etc. Never do I hear them bashing the terrorists. Show compassion for the families of our military and military personnel in general. Lastly, I would be stunned to see my words in print because I am a conservative. God Bless America! Uhh Ohh........I just offeneded the left.

Why is this country so split....and where did the respect for one another go. Clearly there are some conservatives (namely AC and many others from the Bush administration) that show no respect for their fellow americans strictly based on party preference. Somehow this reminds me of the 60's all over again. And the dem's have some of theirs to blame as well.

Janice Mahan — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:02:15 GMT

As a fan of Chris Matthews and Hardball, I would ask him not to invite Ann Coulter back on his program. She is devisive and insensitive. If she wants to speak out, let her speak out in private and do not allow her invective an outlet on national television.

Joe, Austin, TX — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:02:41 GMT

Ann Coulter is just a hateful woman with no real substance to her dialogue besides personal attacks and defacing opponents. Even if there is any meaningful analysis or debate in her books columns, or opinions, it is hidden by the foul and unintelligent language she surrounds it with. Mrs. Edwards is right through this whole discussion, Anne Coulter is nothing more than a shock jock of politics, which, by the way, she is supposed to represent the "moral majority," and yet she spews the most hateful and foul language.

Hard to believe that a so called reputable news station and "journalist" would even consider having this ignorant nobody on their show. Why even give her a platform? She has no qualifiacations or even anything intelligent to say. This is an example of how low and how disfunctional our media and our political system has become. I feel for the likes of Elizabeth Edwards who only want to have an intelligent debate and sincerely talk about the issues. Shame on Hardball for entertaining Coulter who in my opinion is nothing more than a media attention whore which I guess would make Hardball her pimp.

I turned off CM as soon as I saw AC on. But after the exchange with EE I wish I hadn't. But I will never watch AC. It is about time someone stood up to here. Why didn't CM? AC is some low life Right Wing Slime, that should not be given air time anywhere.

Lindsey Dion, Tucson, AZ — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:03:17 GMT

Ann Coulter is an idiot. It is clear from this exchange she cannot answer legitimate criticism. She is unethical, has no dignity, class or anything of value to add to any political debate. Why anyone would give her form of hatred a forum to communicate her filth is surprising to me. Her rant is very typical of right wing fanatics who hate losing more than they care about what is right or just. Why can't she just do everyone a favor and just go away?

Catherine, Scotia, NY — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:03:18 GMT

Can someone please tell me how someone as base, spoiled and classless as Ann Coulter has taken up such a position of influence. For all the complaints about the wrongs of people like Al Sharpton, and for the record I'm not a fan, the amount of child like grumbling and negativity from this woman makes Al seem almost saint like. I am fond of political debate. I believe it's healthy for a nation to openly debate issues, however this woman seems to make very personal, negative attacks under the guise of humor and when confronted with people who disagree, acts less maturely than my seven year old. I don't care what her political stance is, but it seems that the media outlets need to find someone equally strong minded who can conduct themselves as an adult and open a positive dialog. Please MSNBC, stop interviewing this spoiled little girl.

Elizabeth Collins — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:03:18 GMT

Chris, please use your air time for those who will have meaningful discussion about the issues. Ann Coulter always says she is joking. Well, let her appear on The Comedy Channel and leave this precious airtime to serious people who want to advance discussion in such serious times. Elizabeth Edwards is correct Ann Coulter is mean and hateful. It freightens me that Ann has an audience that condons and agrees with her.

Carrie, NW Iowa — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:03:55 GMT

There was a time when Ann Coulter actually made valid points. Then she got famous, and now all she does is attack people. Elizabeth Edwards is absolutely right - she contributes nothing to the political dialogue, and only drags it down to the lowest possible level. She is the perfect example of what turns people off about politics.

What a class act! Elizabeth Edwards is truly the bigger person here. It is sad when someone like Ann Coulter , who has deliberately hurt someone on a personal and deeply emotional level ( the death of a child) can't even make a simple apology and acknowledge the fact she's wrong. Some people have never learned compassion or caring for their fellow man. I think it's supposed to be the foundation of christianity!

I can only speak for myself; but, I continue to lose more and more interest in the process.

It's no longer about which candidate is most qualified, or has the best approach to our country's problems. It's about the candidate that is best connected to political and economic power, and who is "strongest".

It's no longer about what is right or wrong, its about getting away with as much as possible. I really believe that our politicians have a lot to do with the waining popularity of "doing the right thing" approach to leading our private lives.

Bravo to those who win the battles... In the end they lose the war for all of us.

Elizabeth Edwards is right. Ann Coulter is a self-appointed mouthpiece for the Republican Party that is making the Party look foolish and incipid. Her arrogant and self-serving commentary on other Politicians are unwelcome distractions from meaningful dialogue about the direction that our government is about to embark. I wish she would shut her mouth and leave the campaigning to the politicians.

Again, no political affiliation but Coulter is helping me to believe that the terrorists are the most evil, wicked, destructors of humans in this world. What real GOOD has Coulter ever done for the USA? All she has done is make controversial remarks, not caring who she hurts, just to fill her purse. She ridicules John Edwards for trying to raise money in a modern grass roots way, yet she smashes and bashes and steps on everyone that doesn't have her same hateful ideology, no matter the consequences. BTW, she NEVER did answer EE question...so add coward to my view of Coulter. Name calling is started as kids. By this time, Coulter being old as she is should GROW UP and do something GOOD for the whole country. EE and JE seem to be trying with CLASS. I applaud them and Hardball for putting EE through.

Ann Coulter gets ribbed about her Adam's Apple and she takes it like a man. Ann Fans know it's really not so important that she's spiteful, vain, ignorant, oblivious, deceitful because that's just a crying game. Hey, she's thin and blonde and maybe not an icepick killer-- and isn't that what really counts?

Only Jesus can count the hairs on Dick Cheney's head.
Oh woe is us Congress must account for Cheney's ass.
Congress must name Cheney a traitor and hang him dead.
Don't swallow the bull--not all things too shall pass.
The count is upwards of 8.5 trillion and rising. It's a hairy situation but Cheney had his ass laundered. Careful! If he's startled he will outsource Halibuton HQ to some nonjurisdictional locale and we'll never get the loot back.

I hereby propose the Office of the Homeland Triumvirate of Illegal Citizenry with Karl Rove(German citizen), Arnold Schwartzenegger(Austrian citizen) plus Chertoff(Israeli) mit veto.

Ann is the Best! She is absolutly right. It's OK for Left Wing Liberials to say nasty and vile things about Repulicans and Conservitives every Day, yet John or Mrs. Edwards are't calling these Celeberity's and commentators, and asking them to forfit thier 1st Ammendment Right. But,It's OK for the Dem's to insult, lie and smear Conservitives and Chistians in the name of free speach. Typical double standard from the left as always.
Mrs. Edwards, why don't you call you Husband and ask him to stop policalizing Family Crisis Matters and exploting the poor and less fortunate, and stick to the issues himself, and then I sure you won't hear any comments about His person life from any Conservitive Commentators.
Maybe we should look into a new bill for Congress to sign, "Seperation of Family and State."
I have to put up with Liberial garbage from the Media, day in and day out. It's nice to hear from Ann who keeps it Real and has charming sense of humor.
Ann,Keep writing and speeking out for all of us.

Ann Coulter is just trying to be provactive to hype herself and her books. She is exactly what is wrong with politics today. She is mean-spirited and crass. While she may be "hot" with her little black dresses and she certainly has a sharp tongue, it is a shame that she needs to be so mean. It certainly detracts from how smart she is, and that is a shame. I think of her as the political Paris Hilton.

As a moderate Republican, Ann Coulter makes Republicans look like ignorant, bigot, heartless human beings with zero values except spewing hatred. She gets airtime because she's over the top. We'll its tired.

We can win the political debates and this upcoming election without her help. Please stop giving her air time so we can actually intelligently win our country back as opposed to treating our GOP agenda like the high school rumor mill. Ann is trying to build a clique out of our party, and as a working professional woman, she insults my gender and political views.

No matter how one spins it or makes excuses for her, Ann Coulter is one hate-mongering, vicious, rabid, narrow-minded, puffed-up and self-aggrandizing egomaniac. Her "intelligence" is way overrated. She spews hatred from every pore. How self-professed Christians can even bear to be in the same realm of thought as this "woman" is beyond reason. Just shows the true colors of the 25% of Americans who stubbornly back this administration which is dividing and taking down America as fast as any outside threat ever could. Can you imagine the future of such a vile person in about 20 years? I see one bitter recluse who has wasted her life without love of her fellow human beings or the closeness of family, trying to come to terms with the uselessness and anger of her past. Poor, poor Ann Coulter. She is a woman to be pitied, even if it is so hard to stomach her in sight or sound.

Ann Coulter, like the present administration, do and say any thing they want without regard to truth. Usually, people like Ann Coulter, that keep on throwing out their uninformed opinions without answering questions, have a control issue. Ann Coulter is all about hype and making money and "stirring the pot" so to speak. Unfortunately, there are a group of american people in this country that choose not to think for themselves and end up listening to people like Ann Coulter. I wouldn't even consider her a spokeswoman for the conservatives. I think she misrepresents the conservatives (at least the intelligent ones) She crossed that fine line of conservatism. Ann Coulter is an extremist and we know what type of people fall into the extremist groups. They are definitely scary people. So, I feel sorry for Ann. She comes off as someone who is very much in need of attention and very ignorant. By the way, has Ann Coulter ever addressed or answered a question directly put to her by someone who doesn't agree with her?

I am disappointed in MSNBC and especially Chris Matthews for allowing Ann Coulter a forum. An obvious attempt to bolster ratings, which is a sad commentary for MSNBC, which I respect greatly. Ann was not able to respond frankly to Elizabeth Edwards. For example, she could have said - I say hurtful things about people in the news because it helps me sell books to adolescent-minded conservatives and make money and I'm not going to stop- but she did't. She instead made numerous counter-attacks that were clearly off-point - and I agree with a previous e-mailer, of a middle school mentality. Please MSNBC, do not waste another precious minute showcasing Ann Coulter. She is clearly an entertainer and not a political commentator.

It is hard to make a distinction between Ann Coulter and other hate mongers. Why is it that we take such offense to out right lies and slanderous comments when they come from racist and other hate groups yet allow Ann Colder slide by under the disguise of political commentator?

I understand her primary goal is to make money thought writing and personal appearances, but see no reason why the media allows her to represent her personal attacks, outright lies and unfounded negative comments as legitimate political commentary.

Ann Coulter is the perfect poster child for the problem with politics in American today. As long as the professional political campaign industry keeps getting results from exploiting the fears of extreme ideology rather than positive aspects of debating illegitimate issues the Ann Coulters of the world will have a stage.

Ann Coulter is a vial creature but the real problem isn’t her but rather those people that willingly support hate by buying book her books and paying for her appearances.

C. James, Charleston, South Carolina — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:57:29 GMT

Ann Coulter has done damage to many. Her free and open criticism of people and things that should be off-limits is indicative of a very, very small mind and very, very limited intelligence. She's a loud, abrasive and disgustingly obnoxious woman. As is obvious from the postings I've read here, not many people care what she says or thinks. Do your networks and your viewing public a favor - keep her off the air.

I have commented to MSNBC before regarding AC and all the other persons not worthy of a news reporting agency's acknowledgement. DO NOT FEED THE BEARS. When you give people like Coulter, Paris Hilton, Bill O' and other nonenities press, that makes them more relivent. They are not. STOP. I watch CM almost everyday, yesterday I lost 15 minutes of my life I can't get back. Thanks Chris. What happened to "HARDBALL"?

Ann Coulter is a great American and can say whatever she wants, this is America. If you don't like it, don't listen. NBC is definitely not a legitimate news source, and only the lilly livered low life left listens to it. And probably the ACLU (Anti Christ Liberation Union). You want fair and balanced, listen to FOX. Ann just says what you guys don't want to hear, the truth. Get over her.

chris mathews is responsible for bringing ann coulter to the tv screen. it is obvious from the overwhelming negative reaction to her verbal crap that CM brings her on the show for ratings and to stir the pot by having coulter say outrageous things. CM is at fault. he knows what he is getting from having her spew this crap on the airwaves. shame on CM as well as coulter.

Joan Huber Pittsburgh PA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:59:21 GMT

Coulter crossed over the line of true political debates long ago. Whenever someone has to use the sad loss of a loved one for attention, that proves to me that they have nothing of importance or value to say. By the way, what would these "Christian Values" commentators have done if Liberals had poked fun at the death of, say, the first President Bush's daughter who died of Lukemia? It never happened, but you can be sure if it had, they would be screaming mad! The whole
party is a bunch of hypocrites, and it's made this
country a mess. I can see Coulter making fun of the
injured Iraqi veterans if they disagree with her in the future. She is lower than anything crawling on this Earth.

H. Brands, Oklahoma City, OK — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 13:59:36 GMT

SOMEONE SAID: This is the liberal mind at work. They can say anything they want to say, they can do anything they want to do. But if something is said or done to offend them and their agenda, they start to scream and want the government to legislate what is said. This country was founded on the principle of the freedom of speech. No matter if you agree or disagree with Ann C IT IS HER RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN!

Again, not listening. Who said anything about legislating free speech. I think we're all just agreeing that Ann Coulter is a nasty person who has made her fame not on intelligent comments or debate, but playground bully antics and outrageous and mean comments. No one is saying to censor her... just that she's a raging fanatical idiot.
But, it's the way of the paranoid Right to assume that just becuase we disagree with you that we're somehow "unAmerican."

This country was founded on the principle of the freedom of speech. No matter if you agree or disagree with Ann C IT IS HER RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN!

Yes, Ryan, and it is our right, not as liberals or conservatives, to SPEAK OUT AGAINST HATEFUL SPEECH. If more Germans had done that back in 1933, Hitler never would have come into power. What Ann Coulter does is bring out the very worst in people, by using the very worst in dialogue.
And by the way, Ryan, finding someone repugnant and despicable is not a liberal trait, it's just with all these conservatives there are so many disgusting, hate-filled people to choose from. And Ann is their cheerleader: Gimme an H! Gimme an A! Gimme a T! Gimme an E! What's that spell? REPUBLICAN!

Ann Coulter represents the ultra absurdity of neo-con thought. She angers me just to think of her. To place her as a legitimate "talking head" violates fairness and genuine dialogue. She is one reason I support a new fairness law for talk radio that would require all sides be given equal time and no show could go unchallenged.

That's why she does this stuff, and you keep going back and asking her for more. If we all ignored her, she'd dry up from her lack of limelight.

Ann Coulter suffers from narcisism and also has an out of control case of MENDASITY. Elizabeth Edwards has been my First Lady for six years and her husband has been my President. They are both smart, kind, and have a sincere wish to help America. We should listen to these two. They have no hidden agenda. They are living examples of "how to behave" the way our mother and father taught us years ago. Pay attention. AC should be totally ignored. She is a GNAT and serves as an excellent example of "what not to become". Susie Purcell, Blanchard, Oklahoma

This is one example of how the American media has become irrelevent. Rather than report the news both sides (right and left) look for and/or make controversy. The real losers are the American people who are misinformed, unnecessarily upset, losing faith in our leaders, and becoming equally as hateful as those who are presented to us over and over. The days of simple political debate are over. People won't reveal whether they are conservative or liberal because they will be attacked. Freedom of speach has been usurped by runaway abuse by the media.

What Elizabeth Edwards was saying is what most people in America want--stick to the issues, stop with the personal attacks, have a real dialogue about what our country is facing. Ann Coutler/Karl Rove type of politics--attack the person, ignore their position, is what got us to the point in this country where intelligent, rational people who have differing opinions cannot discuss them. Bravo to Edwards for asking that respect be added to the debate. It is no surprise that Coulter chose to ignore the request and continue with her small minded, bitter name calling.

Frank Chance, San Antonio, TX — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:03:19 GMT

I feel like I have just lost 15 minutes of my life I can never regain after reading this ridiculousness. The way that I look at Ann Coulter is the way that I always discussed Howard Stern with people. If you don't like what he has to say, don't watch or listen or buy her books. She is a non-entity who lowers the collective IQ of the right wing by spewing unfounded and unprovable dialogue.

Shame on MSNBC and all other outlets who give this vile woman, Ann Coulter, so much air time. Enough already! She has shown us who she is. It's time the talk shows give decent people of the Left equal air time. The media instead pander to the lowest common denominator for the sake of ratings. And they give us incompetent moderators such as Chris Matthews, who won't hold Coulter on topic. The issue was personal attacks, not free speech.

Tim Roy — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:03:33 GMT

Sounds like a setup by the Left-Leaning Chris Matthews people. Who can argue with a sick woman and not come off as insensitive. Ann asked a good question - Why didn't John Edwards get on the phone. He seems to be afraid of any hard questions or difficult situations (runs and hides from Fox). Harry Truman once said "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". If he lacks courage, he shouldn't be president.

We as loyal listeners of MSNBC need to push back hard to keep people like Ann Coulter off this otherwise respectable network. Chris Matthews should be repremanded for having her on his show. He knows very well what Ann Coulter is all about. She says and writes despicable, disgusting, untrue things about anybody the right wing wants to turn the public against. To put it bluntly, I don't want to see her on MSNBC ever again. She doesn't do anything to elevate MSNBC, either in integrity or ratings. Instead, she brings MSNBC down to a new low. If I want to hear her kind of cruel, inhumane, twisted logic and false statements, I'll watch Fox News.

Almost more horrifying than the hate and disdain for anyone who questions her that coulter displays in this interview is the fact that there are actually some people here defending her. People can you not read? Edwards was simply asking her to stop the personal insultfest coulter so loves and debate issues. coulter merely proves that she won't or cannot do that.

first of all I think Chris Mathews is a farse, this was an ambush and not regular media. While I find all polital pundits to be self serving Ann Coulter did not say that John Edwards should die rather the opposite as she was being sarcastic in a referanc eto Bill Maher really saying he wished Dick Cheney would die in a terroist attack(you can watch the clip on youtube).I am beyond sure that Mrs. edwards people knew this and she was just playing to her husbands base. again while I don't really support either side I do support the truth and this was a phony ambush and it doesn't really make EE or CM look reputable at all to anyone who takes the time to get(or wants to hear)the truth.

AC and EE/JE are the same thing in the political arena. They both capitalize on listeners emotions, all the way to the bank. Mr. Mathews can be fair minded, but continuing to give either of these extremists a forum to make a buck, calling it a political forum, as opposed to the entertainment forum it belongs, continues the frustration felt by most Americans, who increasingly call themselves independants. Why can't we get a politcal forum/candidate that represents the 80% of us that know what a better America really looks like?

Ron Terry, Cleveland, Ohio — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:04:22 GMT

Nick Ortega — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:04:34 GMT

Commentary like this in the main reason I've quit paying attention to Ann Coulter, and it's really kind of sad; there was a time, a few years ago, when the self appointed "voices of the Right" (Coulter, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc) actually has substantive things to say, but sadly those WERE the days. Now all I hear is knee-jerk spouting of biased, unsupported opinions masquerading as news and insightful commentary. Matthews should have been more forceful in attempting to moderate, but the Coulters of today's political world will always shout over the top to avoid hearing anything but their own thoughts...

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Dave, New York — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:04:38 GMT

I read a comment in here that Ann Coulter is just like Rosie O'Donnell or Michael Moore. I find this comparison to be ridiculous and uninformed. She is more like a petty, nasty little child who will say mean, irrelevant things to get attention. Regardless of how you feel about EE, you cannot deny that the comments AC made were not part of any discussion about issues or our country, but were mean-spirited personal attacks that do nothing other than make AC more money.

Sometimes I think that even by talking about Ann Coulter, I am giving her more time and energy than she deserves. While I support her right to speak her mind, I only hope that most Americans are intelligent enough to disregard her. That woman is the poster-child for crack and she avoids the issues altogether by slinging insults. Her breed of rhetoric is to politics what WWF is to sports. Reading this board is an immense relief for me, knowing that other Americans can see her for what she is.

Debate Ann Coulter on issues if you want, but calling her things like "slut" and "dumb blonde" really represent how uneducated you are politically. The point about Edwards' son is that he used his death to gain political sway, as is reinforced by Kerry's story about courting him as VP: Edwards told Kerry that he was going to tell him a story that he had never told anyone before, how at the funeral home he had crawled onto the slab with his dead son and cried. Kerry was chilled by the story, not because of what it was about, but because Edwards had told him that same story a year prior to that day.

Perhaps the whole story should have been put out there re: her interview with Matt Lauer and the Bill Maher statement about Dick Cheney dying in the tower collapse. Since the media did not like her previous statement about Edwards and an inference to gay she stated perhaps she should say what Bill Maher said about Edwards dying in the 9/11 tower collapse.

I will agree that Ann Coulter can be abrasive sometimes but the left for too long has hammered away at our values and called us every name in the book and now wants to restart the Fairness Doctrine to silence us. It is not mean-spirited or self-serving to defend yourself and your point of view. By the way regardless of my political persuasion I have been praying for the Edwards family since the revelation about Elizabeth's cancer coming back. God be with you.

JWC Lockport, NY — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:11:22 GMT

Ann Coulter has never seriously debated politics. That's not the career she's chosen for herself. As upsetting as it is to listen to someone rant non-sensically and attempt to move political debate away from issues and towards sensationalism; it's even more disturbing that broadcast "jouranlists" continue to shove this drivel down our throats. Ann Coulter's popularity within the television news industry is proof positive that the news media is neither biased toward Conservative/Republicans nor Liberal/Democrats. It's biased towards sensationalism. This is not suprising since it's the easiest way to turn a profit.

Before we SLAM Ann the majority of individuals that have posted messages should look in the mirror. I can't believe (or I can) the foul language used by people on the left.

Any way you look at it, John Edwards is a SLIM BUCKET, getting rich as an ambulance chaser lawyer. He is bankrupt on ideas and pretends he cares about the poor.

We have real issues in this country that need to be addressed. The illegal and legal immigration issue will bankrupt this country. Additionally, welfare needs to stop.

Wake Up, at least Ann has the balls to call trash, trash!!!!!

This is why America is getting sold down the river....amnesty for illegals, Mexican truckers given the right to drive anywhere in the US, the NAFTA superhighway...wand we are all concerned about Ann Coulter playing hardball with Edwards wife?

Thank you MSNBC for letting me know Coulter would be on the "I'm Chris Matthews!" show so I could miss it. It's bad enough you give her an hour on TV, but then to listen to Pat Buchanan defend her this morning was enough to make me move to CNN for good. When you have to manufacture your own news, you sink to Tabloid level.

I guess Chris will be back to his man-crush of Fred Thompson now, along with trashing Hillary Clinton. There's a reason his ratings are in the toilet - it's because his show is sh*t.

While Ann certainly made some snippy comments, who does this reflect worst on? John Edwards, that's who. When he sends his WIFE to deal with a commentator, how is he supposed to deal with future presidential rivals?
Also, most of your bring yourselves to Ann's level by calling her a bimbo and a female dog. Maybe if you quit giving her so much negative attention, she could implode and return to her much more savory political commentary of the 90's.

Those who say Ann Coulter is offensive, are correct. Those who say Ann Coulter should be silenced, are immature and an insult to free speech. One does not have to listen, one can disagree, one can write letters etc. Hitler silenced his critics, Saddam, the Ayatollah, etc. The best way to defeat a bad idea is with a better one . Stifling dissent has no place in America. The Dixie Chicks and Don Imus learned that they have a right to speak freely if they can afford the financial cost of free speech. Don't listen if you can't take it.

Look, I am as conservative as they come, but I must agree with Elizabeth Edwards on this point. Personal trashing is not excusable for any reason and to use someones trajedy as a punchline for a joke is reprehensible. There is no excuse, either side, for this to happen and it has been done by conservatives and liberals alike. If Ann had ever lost a son or a husband, hopefully she would think twice before being so thoughtless.

Ann Coulter is a bully who thinks nobody has a right to challenge anything she says, if she said it six months ago or three years ago. I'm not aware of any inherent time limits to truth. Bush is the same way. He objects to the FISA law (limiting warrantless wiretapping) on the grounds that it was passed in 1978! That proves how today's right wing are unprincipled liars.

All of these fanatics aid in the continual polarization of our country, which has helped to create the huge mess we are in now. Let's face facts - the fanatics on both sides should be ignored - neither present facts, just spin. It's time to start ignoring them and look at reality...

Can she afford a barrette or elastic band for her hair so she doesn' have to keep flicking her hair? (Sorry for the low comments, just taking a note from her methods).

Elizabeth was not speaking for her husband, the presidential candidate. Ann Coulter using her son's death to attack her husband gave her the right to speak for her family. How low can you get as to use the death of a child as a political attack? Keep watching, Ann will probably do worse in the name of the almighty dollar. Unfortunately, being obnoxious is her only talent therefore the only thing that can sell her ridiculous books. I will support and encourage others to support a boycott for any media that gives her airtime.

Let's get the details right....Elizabeth Edwards did not try to silence Ann Coulter (Pat Bucanan's interpretation). What she requested was..it's fine if she wants to pursue political discourse, but is she capable of doing it without the personal attacks and incendiary tone and language. In my mind, Ms. Coulter is not capable of taking that approach in political discussion. I'm certain that if she didn't use her current approach and wear her little black dress and constantly flip her hair - she would be a nobody. Ann Coulter adds nothing of merit to the political discusssion of any day. PLEASE NBC....STOP GIVING HER A PODIUM!!!!!! I lose respect for NBC everytime I see her on air.

Redheat, Boca Raton FL — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:13:50 GMT

Elizabeth Edwards had every right to call Ann Coulter on her comments. Maybe if more people did this given that the media insists on giving her a forum; then more would see how vacuous her arguments are. Her books are bought in bulk by Right wing organizations just to get her on a best seller lists. Each book is shown to be as idiotic as her statements. The medias insistent on treating Ann Coulter as credible is a perfect illustration as to why I laugh when the right wing whines about a liberal media. Notice that when Ann is questioned on her arguments she immediately resorts to turning herself into a victim. She was asked not to make personal attacks and she heard that EE didn't want her to write books. Then she proceeds to ramble on about psychics etc... It is just so pathetic that our media allows this kind of political debate to continue. No wonder we have such a large Jerry Springer like culture.

The "libs" have Michael Moore, acting in an organized medium (movies), distorting the truth, taking comments out of context,and abasing George Bush. Ann Coulter is free lancing. She finds a gig and does it! Why is Michael Moore okay with his 90 minute rants disguised as entertainment, but the "libs" can't take 2 or 3 minutes of Ann Coulter. Maybe she is hitiing a few sore spots? Bush can be called a "Nazi" but when Ann slings a barb it is hate speech. Can anyone say thin skinned? Or how about double standard? We have a right to free speech and we have a little button on every "noise outlet" that says off. You don't have to listen, just like I don't have to pay $8.00 to watch a "Moore Horror Movie"!

I just don't understand how people on either side can defend Coulter. I once went to a debate that featured her as one of the main speakers and never once did she answer a question without making personaly remarks about someone on the panel. This is not a matter of left or right, she constantly uses degrading language in an attempt to shock people and then at later times says it was a joke. Mrs. Edwards called to ask her to stop speaking about her deceased son when addressing political issues. I do not see what is unreasonable about this request. The diverse nature in the responses to this article, which is word for word from the telecast, is appauling. Coulter was out of line with her comments, if she wants to speak about politics she should do just that, not reduce a conversation into juvenile hate speech. Does she have a right to say the things, yes, no one is debating that. I'm just saying that she, as a journalist and political analyst, should actually talk about politics.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Kim McLendon, Salisbury NC — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:16:26 GMT

I think Mrs. Edwards has a very valid point. What Mrs. Coulter says is just vicious and pointless. Why bring up the loss of his child, or make what could be construed as death threats against a man I sincerely hope will be our next president.

The fact is that John Edwards has done nothing wrong, as opposed to the current president who has endangered this country.

Just Compare. John Edwards has never ordered anyone tortured. John Edwards hasn't lied to start an unjust war. John Edwards is not affiliated with anyone who's last name is Ben Lauden, either through personal friendship, or business. John Edwards is not responsible for the collapse of our economy or the loss of millions of jobs in the last eight years. John Edwards has never caused the death of American Servicemen, and women, or small children in Iraq. John Edwards doesn't condone the rape, torture, and murder of men women and children while touting on and on about giving them FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY. John Edwards has never tampered with an election. John Edwards doesn't hate people because of their race or national origin or their lack of funds. John Edwards doesn't ignore the vast and growing poverty in this country, much less create it. Can Coulter say the same of Bush?

John Edwards actually cares about the people of this country. He actually concerns himself with the well being of people who work for a living, and for people who can't find a job. He is concerned for our land, and keeping it safe beautiful clean and free. John Edwards actually has a plan to solve this country's REAL problems. None of these things seem to have entered the mind of the current administration, which doesn’t even see the problems that confront the average American. Bush can neither conceive of the real problems, nor solve his self created ones effectively. Let Ann put that in her pipe and smoke it.

You are so shocked that the liberal media would let such a strong minded conservitive on the air that you freak out. Mrs. Edwards has exploited so much of her life and continues to do so. She is appealing to your emotions to limit someones free speech. Bottom line is Edwards never mentioned what she wanted AC to stop talking about as she couldn't win the eventual discussion. She simply wanted to shut her up. Inspiration? Role model? You are so gullible.

Pucker up, liberals, and give us all a nice kiss. I'm still looking for that nice little place called UTOPIA. If there weren't any more bad men in the world, I'd say Coulter's days were done.

All Ann did was to point out that John Edwards was milking the death of his son for political gain. The Democrats turn personal tragedy into a campaign point and that's disgusting. The Left makes these heroes by having them say things that "polite" people can't disagree with. What about John Edwards channeling a fetus that "needed" a cesarean section? You Left-Wing Kool-Aid drinkers make me sick.

Agree AC is harsh in some of her comments. No more than Rosie when she comments on prime time public television that we (our troops) are the terrorists, we planted the bombs in the Twin Towers, etc. etc. And what about Michael Moore? Like AC commented, the conservatives don't speak up and defend against remarks/comments made by the liberals -- that's why she is there. Well, maybe the liberals won't be "crying" much longer since they are trying to quiet the conservatives by shutting down the talk radio stations. Seem fair to you?

I agree with Ann. She is not a puppet. She has morals. Something the democrats do not have. I am not surprised she is being attacked by all of you. You will all have to face God in the end. Go ahead and hate. You know that you have no morals.. No democrat does.

It is typical of the left to use someone else to make a point. It should be apparent to everyone that Senator Edwards can't speak for himself. AC expertly made that issue self evident.

Kari, Minneapolis, MN — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:22:09 GMT

AC is an embarassment to all Americans. I agree she has the right to free speech but anyone who is that filled with viciousness does nothing to support America or its people. I would think that anyone who considers themself a conservative would be embarrassed to have that hate-filled woman include herself in that group.

R. Manske, Muskego WI — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:22:29 GMT

The people responding here are amazing. They criticize Ann Coulter and use hate speech against her, which is what they are compliaining she is doing. Coulter is doing the same things Lefties have been doing for years, just with more intellegence and wit. Guess the Lefties can give it out but not take it. And the Edwards and their “Two Americas”, comdeming the rich, even though they are richer than anyone posting here. Please, give me a break. They are political hacks and using oppertunities so they themselves can gain power.

Where is the criticizem for Al Frankin when he spews all his hate speach? Or Rosie O’Donald, Barbra Streisand, Alex Baldwin or even Hillery Clinton? Oh, that’s right, Coulter is part of that ‘vast right-wing conspericy’, so Coulter must be worse that all of them. Yeah, attacks on Coulter, Rush Limbuagh, Sean Hannity, etc, that’s OK, but don’t you dare criticize Lefties.

Bring it on Ann Coulter! About time a Conservitive have the guts to say it like it is!!

Ann Coulter is the worst human being living today, if she can be called a human being. For the folks who tout family values she is the ugly redheaded stepchild who sums up this bunch of idiots. She is unintelligent and has no morals or common sense.

I think that anyone that supports Ann Coulter in her uncalled for personal attacks is as crazy and mean as she is. Free speech is one thing but her vicious attacks are not serving anyone. I can guarantee that I will change the channel of what I am watching if she is a guest on that show. She is a waste of oxygen.

Ann Coulter has as much right as Michael Moore to voice her thoughts and opinions. It's called Free Speech. Liberals seem to think that Free Speech is set aside specifically for them. And now they are trying to kill talk radio because it is "too one-sided". Give me a break. Just watch ABC, NBC, CBS, and not to mention many other news publications. These all sway heavily left. Talk radio and Fox News is about all we conservatives have, and they want to take that away and call it FAIR. Why don't we just become another Hitler Germany.

Fred Yde, Carmel, Ind — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:23:22 GMT

If Coulter did indeed make a pointed and thus cruel joke about a child's death, no matter whose child, then she should apologize. Otherwise, she is very aware of her role in the new age of political entertainers, and she will continue to hone that role, just like Limbaugh and O'Reilly and Hannity. We should all be a little more aware of what are facts in the real world and a little less hypersensitive to things entertainers say. They are little more than comics in the grand scheme of things.
Mrs Edwards should know that as well, but then maybe she is entertaining her own column or show.

Steve, Somewhere California — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:23:27 GMT

It's funny how the character assasinations and "unpolite" comments AC is being criticized for are now used to attack AC. Stop taking her and everyone else so seriously. It's free speech; it may be unpleasant; it may be completely pointless and self-serving, but so what! Turn her off or change the channel!

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Mary Jo, Getzville NY — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:23:29 GMT

The overwhelming opinion here is that AC is a harpy with nothing good to contribute in any civilized discussion. Unfortunately, she sells an awful lot of books, so SOMEone must be listening to her. I find that terrifying.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Chris, San Antonio, TX — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:23:30 GMT

AC has made a name for herself addressing controversial issues with political figures. she makes some comments that are personal in nature, but most of the time those are in response to that person's use for their personal agendas. Sorry that all of you haters feel that she doesn't have the right to address personal issues regarding public figures. Michael Moore is 100 times worse than AC.

She should be sent to an island and rot there forever.

From claiming that she should poison Justice Steven's food, to calling the wives of the husbands who dies in 9/11 "broads," claiming one day we will wake up and crush Canada, claiming that schools are training grounds for students to have sex with teachers, to claim that the party of FDR are a bunch of terrorists, calling Bill Clinton gay and John Edwards a faggot,and claimed to Vietnam veterans that they were the reasons why we lost the war.

She goes on and on.... that is the reason why she was fired twice from MSNBC

The real evil person is Chris Matthews, he seems to delight in this kind of dialogue. I'm surprised MSNBC allows such conversation and character assassinations. Not only onthe Edwards but also on the Clintons. How sad for our country that we tolerate such programs without both sides of the story.

JeffRob — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:24:18 GMT

If anyone doesn't think Ann Coulter still has a significant following in this country, when you have a sec for a laugh, head on over to Townhall.com, where there are daily conservative spewings by numerous Ann-clones, followed by 50-150 comments by readers, 95% of which are in full agreement and lavish them with praise. Even Ann's most hateful, ignorant articles are absolutely loved by the Townhall crowd. I know we'd like to think their kind is disappearing, but especially now with the Immigration fight at full tilt, they are as loud as ever. Really, you should check it out. It will make you want to barf on your keyboard.

Stan Barker, Millville, UT — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:24:20 GMT

My experience has been that most people who criticize Ann Coulter has never even really read any of her books and attempted to deal with the VERY legitimate points she raises. She may be perfect, but I find it ironically funny that all the leftists who whish her to be quiet are quite willing to ignore that blather and stupidity coming out of people like Ed Kennedy, and that whole group of leftists, who are some of the biggest hypocrits in the world. Ann isn't perfect, but then I'm not aware of her killing someone and walking away from it scott-free, not to mention a whole host of other issues. It seems ok bring up issues of Ann saying something bad (as if mentioning these things about her are somehow part of the political debate), but mentioning something about leftists, who seem to be fooling a whole lot of people right now, is not legit. Do you people not realize how hpyocritical you come across? I don't like everything Ann Coulter says, but to just dump her for a dumb remark here or there, is NOT diagloge. It is close minded bigotry.

Sylvia Sparks, Green Valley, AZ — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:24:38 GMT

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Asheville, NC — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:24:42 GMT

It's a shame that Elizabeth Edwards gives Ann Coulter more credibility just by calling in and acknowledging her. Mrs. Edwards is obviously threatened by Ann, and if she would just ignore her comments, there wouldn't be as much attention paid to them. On a side note, I didn't realize just how liberal the viewers of Hardball and MSNBC really were.

Every time you give a public forum to someone like a/c she will continue (in her mind) to gain strength. If the legitimate media is taken away (at least) some of her reinforcement will be take away. I don't know any other way to extinguish her behavior but to deny her the stage. Why does the media continue to reinforce her. When she comes on it seems like an unusual carnival side show that everyone pays a dime to see. It would be funny if it was not so sick.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Victoria Marsh, Chicago, IL — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:25:00 GMT

I very much admire Elizabeth Edwards and I believe she had the best of intentions when she placed this phone call; however, I feel she came across as John's "mommy," his protector. He should have been the one to step up to the plate and made this phone call, but I'm not sure the call was a good idea in the first place.

I think Elizabeth Edwards made a huge mistake by getting down in the mud and rolling around with Ann Coulter. She stooped to Coulter's level. It would have been much more effective - and classy - to NOT engage with her.

Big, big negative for the Edwards Campaign. Makes John Edwards look like a lightweight, I'm afraid.

Does anyone else feel the need to shower after listening to Ann Coulter speak?

Hate and loathing pour out of that woman's mouth in such massive quantities, I find it difficult to understand how or even why she considers herself Christian.

There are many people who will profess to walk in faith with Jesus Christ, but their actions speak louder than their words and her actions are not that of a Christian.

Thank God for Ann Coulter, a true American!

It would have been sure nice to see this type of outrage from people whenever Rosie said insane things on The View. I'm guessing it doesn't work both ways though..does it?

Of course though MSNBC would bring on the most far right person to make everyone who is conservative look back. I'm just suprised they bring on anyone conservative at all as far left as they have gone.

Michelle Malkin has a point of view and Coulter doesn't. She uses nothing but bully tactics and should not be taken seriously on any level so don't put them in same group.

What should really be talked about is what a phony Elizabeth Edwards husband is and how he is now controlled by the far left and is living in a alternate reality where the "war on terror" doesn't exist. It doesn't matter anyway because he is zero shot of winning. He's not even liked in his own state so how is he gonna get elected in the country?

(let them "hang' themselves- ward churcill, ac , don imus, comments about bush )> if we allow free speech to be controlled by the goverment --- guess what one day
we will wake up and we lost one of the fundamental freedoms that will keep this country strong. weclome to the ussr.
msnbc knew what they were doing when they put ac on the air and mrs.edwards knew what she was doing when she called. msnbc, ac , mrs. edwards all knew what the public's reaction would be.

Elizabeth Edwards vs. Ann Coulter

Bob Bain, Laurel, MD — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:28:25 GMT

You know it's interesting how all are yelling at Ann for being a hater by spewing out word of hate. No one seems to care when Rosie O'Donnell, Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore or the rest spew forth lies and half truths. No, their motives are "pure" so Bill Mahr calling for the killing of the VP is okay. CBS can put on a complete lie of a report on the President disguised as a news story in order to influence an election and that's okay, yet a private group tels a story of John Kerry in Viet Nam and all are up in arms. Jesse Jackson uses racial slurs against Jewish people and he gets a pass, yet George Allen uses a word no one heard of before and it's news for months. (They even ignored Jim Webb during the same campaign using derogatory slurs about Southern men and Arabs.) The list is almost endless. And, yes, the conservatives hands are not clean on this, yet you only hear in the "major media" about when non-liberals do this. It's a good thing Bernie Goldberg was wrong and there is no media bias. (Since this show the opposite view of the majority, this posting probably won't even be posted)

John Smith, Buffalo, NY — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:37:27 GMT

I'm amazed that no one else has made the comparison between Ann Coulter and Paris Hilton, both contribute nothing to society and only have a place in the media because they spend so much time drawing attention to themselves. To conservatives, although I'm not one of you, I'm encouraged by the fact that many of you despise her also, and I respect you for that. I wonder, although she seems to pass herself off as sexy, who would have her. The rumor is, among conservatives, everyone.

This is for all of you defenders of Ann Coulter. Why do you always let her off the hook and turn the argument into freedom of speech. Of course she has the right to her options but so does everyone else. Where does this idea come from that we have to shut up and take Ann's word as law. Freedom of speech is a two way street. She can have her say and people have every right to respond back to her. Ann is always allowed to speak. She has never been shut down. She is only called on her B.S. after she says it. I can see you getting all upset if she is not allowed her voice but she is everywhere and has never once been shut down. She has had the same message for the past 10 years. There is never anything new coming out of her mouth. Just listen to her words and you will see that their is something very ugly underneath that pretty blond persona

She has, it was 3 years ago, why did EE bother to bring something that old up as if it happened yesterday? Every single one of you lefties bring up AC in your replies, giving her more publicity. Not to mention the Democrats using AC's name to gain money on websites and in found raisers.
Just ignore her, she's not worth the time.

Righties:
People like AC are the are dragging you through the mud. Has she ever really had a point or anything valid to say? Why does anyone even listen to her?

We as a nation have crossed the line in our Political Process, it's a TURN OFF ! You guys in the media, need to keep her off the AIR WAVES... we don't want to hear these hateful comments.

Again, and again, the left (liberals) scream the loudest when someone points out anything that makes them look bad. Mrs. Edwards stop whining like the children you liberals are, when no one does or says anything you want them to do. Ann is just calling a spade a spade and the liberals can't take the heat. 1st Amendment again is only for the liberals. Well we conservatives will never shut up because we are not afraid of whinny children! GO ANN!!!

Ann Coulter is a textbook case of a narcissistic borderline personality disorder. Her hate toward others is simply a reflection of her own self-loathing. While it is always difficult to listen to her unabashed vitriolic opinions, it is certainly interesting to watch her ultimate unraveling and eventual breakdown as she is confronted more and more about her unacceptable behavior. Get some help now, Ann. Save what's left of your psyche not to mention your soul.

People like Ann Coulter who live off the hype and not the true debate does do a disservice to the country. Ask your kid today who is running for president for '08 and see what you get back.
Ask what is important to them, what they care about and why. AC, CM, JS (John Stewart), don't forget Rush L. all of them claim to be journalists, STAY ON POINT.
The debates (I mean arguments) have polarized the conversation.
Like Chris Rock said, "You will NEVER win an arguement with your wife"

Ann Coulter is an ugly, greedy, money hungry non-person. I don't understand why Chris Mathews and others in the media keep invite her to dirty our airwave and really polute the minds of our young children. This non-person is willing to say anaything to keep her in the spot light to make money. We republicans despise her too. Elizabeth Edwards is absolutely correct in saying that this kind of trash talk is not worthy of our political process and drive our people away from participating. It's time the American people need to tune out of theis trashes, and tune in the debate of issues of the nation and the world.

Ann Coulter responded that she would not stop talking in response to Elizabeth Edwards' request that she debate the issues rather than make vicious personal attacks, such as ridiculing the death of her son. I guess AC made the point that she really has nothing substantive to say on the issues, and only makes vicious personal attacks on anyone with whom she disagrees. I am glad to be on the side of the Edwards' and others who sincerely want to make this country a better place. Way to go, Elizabeth Edwards.

We should all remember that since the Republican Party does not denounce people like Ann Coulter, she must be speaking for the GOP.

I am appalled by this dialogue and specifically disgusted with Ann Coulter. Leaving out the politics of the conversation, I am repulsed at Ann Coulter's comments regarding the Edwards' family tragedy. Even on the basic human decency level, any person with ragard for human life should find Ann Coulter and her comments despicable.

Michael Blied - Kalamazoo, Michigan — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:40:15 GMT

Ann Coulter, like Rush Limbaugh is really more for entertainment of the right than for fact based debate. Shame on the network for trying to turn it into anything else. I wouldn't be surprised if NBC completely set that whole exchancge up for ratings. Not productive. Shame on NBC. They might as well have gotten Springer to mediate.

This Coulter is nothing but nourishment for the 20% or so of republicans who eat hate for breakfast. The rest of us, who wish more for ourselves and our country, don't need to listen. However, Mrs. Edwards was correct in calling Coulter on the carpet, and sounds like she did a great job at it.

Flint Mitchell, Burton, MI — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:40:23 GMT

This amazes me to see all of the responses from liberal leaning web readers. The biggest hypocritical issue from the Edwards and all other high profile liberals is they have more money than most of their conversative counterparts. They speak to issues they are insulated from - the true definition of a liberal is one who can afford to be or one who has no other choice!

Why can't someone thoughtful and intelligent,(as opposed to the self-absorbed AC who should be resigned to whoring at cocktail parties-only in America can she make millions) like Flavia Colgan, get any airtime? I think that she would fare quite well on Hannity and Colgan and get rid of that whiny, woman Alan Colmes. That would be more fair and balanced and expose Sean Hannity as the fool he is and exhibit a wonderful example of learned comment as an example for our youth to follow. There's enough Rush, Anne and Sean on both sides of the aisle.

Walter, Boston, MA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:40:52 GMT

As per usual, the liberal left did not hear the actual words spoken by Ms. Coulter in context and have spun an admittedly classless joke into a hateful diatribe.

Ms. Coulter can debate anyone on political merits and leave them writhing 99% of the time and that is what the liberals are afraid of. Liberal thinking in general is what is killing this country, and the depth of actual political knowledge within the liberal base is about as deep as a puddle.

Reality is the basis of conservatism while liberalism is awash in Utopian drivel. Why else would so many older people be conservatives or convert to being so, while liberals tend to be young (not all, so I do not want to be attacked here) people that do not quite understand the ways in which the world actually operates.

Elizabeth Edwards was (as always) a true lady in stark contrast to Ann Coulter who could NEVER in this lifetime have that said about her. It is SO not about free speech as the one or two right wingers here have suggested...it's about decency, morality, and common respect. It's about NOT saying you hope a person running for President will be killed by terroists!!!!! The last election I remember the Republican Party saying over and over that these were THEIR values... morality and respect for all.
Ann Coulter = Republican. Hmmm. I'll take the Democratic view this time around.

The Edwards candidacy is now officially dead. When the candidate has to have his wife call in to challenge an attack dog, it's a certain signal that he' desperate. Does Coulter speak for the right? No, she spouts venom to sell books and get 6-figure appearance fees. Wake up lefties - you're in trouble. Better regroup and plan your strategies a little more pointedly toward the coming revolt of your base against the Pelosi/Reid fiasco perpetrated against the electorate in the last election. Why do you think Hillary is moving toward the center - no dummy, she understands better than most that if the intelligent voters turn out she'll need to be a certified moderate to stand a chance. Coulter was never a factor; now neither is Edwards.

NO Culture, uh . . . Ann Coulter is at most eye candy for eating disorder support groups. As soon as she opens her mouth she morphs into the ugly, money grubbing slattern she really shows herself to be. She pretends to be politically savvy, by never answering a question directly, simply indulging in argumentum ad hominum from her stunted, elementary school, bully-girl mind set. She was undoubtedly was a model for the Mean Girls film. She is the kind of person Jerry Springer wants on his show to display America's mental health problems, diseased and non-contributing.

The exchange between Elizabeth Edwards and Ann Coulter was typical Coulter. Edwards talked substance, while Coulter first sought to make herself a victim (alleging Edwards was trying to curb her right to speak and write), then later resorting to ad hominem attacks against John Edwards.

Chris Matthews always gushes about how "brilliant" Coulter is. She's not brilliant. She can't hold her own in a debate. She's just a bomb-thrower. Great for entertainment value, bad for political discourse.

I always enjoy when and anorexic womans speaks negatively about normal people while she pops diet pills on TV.
AC might be intelligent but you really cant see that, ever. This was not a political stunt by EE instead it was a stand she made as a mother and true ladie.
What I find interesting is the crazies she has that follow her everywhere and they were all there at the set, all 10 of them that think she is a good person, haha.
One last thing. I enjoy how she makes up information to try and prove her outrageous points. IE: Sadam was with Al Qaida and was an immediate threat to the United States and he had WMD. Where did she come up with that?

What, that was the best "Hardball" could do? AC is disgusting and I am ashamed for our country that a person like her is scheduled on such important programs. I am ashamed that we have sunk so low.

Ann Coulter is probably the most well-read person on any of these talk shows and does deeper research than these so-called experts that Chris Matthews and these other liberal useful idiots bring on. If you actually read her books or listened to what she is saying you might grow up and realize that she's right - that liberals in this country have no use for traditional American values.

Kevin, Pacific Palisades, CA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:45:31 GMT

The only way we can influence the tone of the debate on TV is to let the broadcasters and sponsors know that we will switch channels when they provide a forum for the likes of Ann Coulter. Granted she is a pop culture figure, but she adds nothing of value to the political debate that justifies showcasing her on a news station. A more proper forum would be an entertainment or fluff show where she can espouse all the venom her tiny little heart can muster.

By the way, when I saw her appear on the CM show, that's exactly what I did: I switched channels. Are you listening MSNBC?

I suggest others in this forum express this same admonition to MSNBC and other news stations. Don't just say that it is beneath the dignity of the station to give Coulter a forum, but that you will not watch these kinds of shows. Let's use our collective muscle to shape things. I for one want to hear all sides of an issue, but AC and others like her are only degrade all of us.

I am undecided about who I'm voting for in the next presidential election, but after reading the transcript of the exchange between EE and AC, my regard for EE and her husband went up a notch.

Chris Matthews did nothing to mediate the debate. He is so useless and so are most "talkking heads" on t.v. And for the idiot who called Coulter a "journalist", you are mistaken sir. She is not a journalist she is an opportunist and a demagogue at best. I will not stoop as low as to call her a four-legged dog because that is sexist. I will say that political extremist on either side of the spectrum do nothing to make this country better. I'm tired of politicians and all the vile book peddling, self serving idiots like Coulter et al, who skirt issues and make blanket statements and never seem to have any real solutions. I mostly blame news outlets for the current state of what passes as American culture and the chasm between our citizens on both sides of the partisan divide.

JD, New York City — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:46:33 GMT

Might be some misunderstanding of what free speech constitutes. "Mainstream" media outlets put anyone on whom they believe will get them ratings and Americans love to hear in your face controversial "non PC" talk b/c it sounds irreverent etc., but is that really the case? Coulter's an opportunist and writes what a certain ill informed demographic wants to hear, i.e. enemies are everywhere (paranoia), evil liberals, and then the personal stuff which she passes off as jokes, but which happen again and again and guess what? The media covers it. Free speech in this country means if a private outlet is willing to air what you have to say then you have it. Otherwise, you might as well stake out a place on a streetcorner and yell to passersby, but even then better get a permit. So again, AC doesn't quite know/care about what she's talking about so much as the money and attention she's getting like all the other talkshow hosts (Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity etc.) who are NOT journalists like say Seymour Hersh who is actually useful in sharp contrast. Public tv is necessary for this very reason to avoid the scramble for ratings over giving the public important and relevent information.

Ms. Coulter's views have no value. she adds no value to the political discourse. Her responses to Ms. Edwards were vacuous and self serving, deflecting from the real discussion. I've read many comments about the story. They are, overwhelmingly, positive for Ms. Edwards. That is to say, against Ms. Coulter. She will always have a segment of the audience who supports her. Approximately the same number of people who believe there are WMDs yet to be found in Iraq. Why do you offer her a forum?

Cheri Stewart, Yardley, PA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:47:00 GMT

Extremely disappointed to see Chris Matthews simply going for 'ratings' via Ann Coulter. It's not a problem with difference of opinions; it's giving someone whose 'style' (and that's using the word very loosely here) is to appeal to the most unintelligent and base instincts in people. She presents, at best, as the Paris Hilton of political pundits. She's simply vacuous entertainment for people who value persona over worthwhile content. It isn't a matter of attempting to deny her a right to speak. It's a matter of a fairly respected forum maintaining some standards that will continue to attract and demonstrate intelligent dialogue as opposed to going the sensationalism route. I hope this isn't a sign that Hardball has reached the point of selling out to this trend.

CB: hack and an idiot
Sven Cooper: If we didn't pay attention she'd just melt away in a pool of her own wickedness
Frank Bailey: Ann Coulter is an ass, they only difference between her and the 4 legged type is she walks upright (I think).
Felix Proulx: Ann Coulter is a slut, or an opportunistic money scrounge.

Read what Mary White writes:

I hope that NBC and all other legitimate news networks will stop offering a forum for Ann Coulter to spew her venom. Mrs. Edwards is, of course, correct to acknowledge that self-serving, vicious individuals like Ann Coulter lower the level of important discourse in this country, but to take the issue one step further it is necessary for honorable people to take away this dishonorable woman's platform.

MSNBC is giving us the American People a voice and look what we write, are we any better then AC or anyone else that make personal attacks.

As far as illegal immigration, I believe George Bush wants to grant amnesty like Ronald Reagan did before him.

Let's just get this out there....everyone is biased, based on what you believe. MSNBC is biased toward the left (as are most of everyone who reads or listens to it, just read all these posts), so it’s not surprising to me that they ambushed Ann Coulter with a no win situation. Elizabeth Edwards calls in and plays the role of 'polite, southern lady, sticking up for her family against a cold and rude right wing nut' and uses the sympathy card. Ann may be politically incorrect and hard, but she is merely pointing out inconsistency in the Edwards’s lives and campaign strategy. Once you enter the public arena, especially when running for president, you should realize that everything about your life will be analyzed and will either hurt or help you in the polls. And believe me, that is why Elizabeth called...to help the polls (or at least help the fundraising), otherwise this could have been handled privately.

I wish the Hate America Liberals would wake and see that everything that they support is bad for America and they want to do the best they can to bring down the country. I am actually suprised that Liberals even want to hear the right side of things. I wish you Hate America Liberals along with CM, Kennedy, Pelosi and Reid would wake up but they dont care about America.

Personal attacks from either side is not acceptable. Would it have been so wrong for Ms. Coulter to relax her guard for a second to address Mrs. Edwards real issue which pertained to "personal attacks"? Mrs. Edwards was "woman enough" to confront Ms. Coulter. However, it is my opinion that Ms. Coulter wasn't "woman enough" to address her real issue. Perhaps for Ms. Coulter to show that "human, tender, caring" side to anyone other than her family would be viewed as weakness. Hey, lets stick to the real political issues and give us voters some substance to base our opinions. Making jokes about tragedies, I don't care republican or democtratic is wrong. Mrs. Edwards didn't ask Ms. Coulter to stop speaking, she "politely" asked her to stop taking personal attacks against her family. Ms. Coulter decided to make a sweeping genralization and try to use it for her advantage. You've made your living speaking and writing. Why would anyone ask you to stop doing that? Just stick to the real issues. Lastly, remember this, we're all somebody's role model. Let's please represent ourselves so children, youth and young adults don't think it's okay to grow up rude and insensitive. Anyone can get their point accross w/out being rude.

Wow! Ann has been called virtually every name in the the book in these comments and yet most suggest the need for rational issue drivin' debate without name calling! Can any liberal debate more than 2 sentences without resorting to name calling? When was the last time you read any author with an opposing view to your own?

EE actually demonstrated a tactic of the left which was pointed out by Coulter in one of her books. AC has said the left likes to use people who have been victims as their spokespersons. Everyone knows that EE has cancer; thats why John Edwards let her call in. That way if and when AC argues with her, AC wil look "mean spirited" because she's debating a person with cancer. If one is a victim, they do have a right to speak on issues; but that does not give them immunity from being challenged either. Finally, John Edwards, if you can't challenge AC, why should we believe you can handle, Putin, Kim, or any other world leader?

Ann Coulter is sad and pathetic. Can't even have a real conversation. If anyone disagrees with her, it becomes a personal attack from her. She is a joke. Get a real life Ann, it's not about the money, it's not about your hate. The People of this country are tired of your disgusting mouth and hateful attitude. Ann Coulter will have plenty to answer for, being an agent of dissent and division.

I think its interesting how this web site lists all the negative comments about Ann. MSNBC does have an agenda and they tried to "Set Up" Ann coulter. Yes, Elizabeth Grieves her son and Ann went over the line three years ago but she is calling these people out. John Edwards uses his own family crisis for his political gain! He used his son and now he is using his wife who has Breast Cancer. Even going so far as to have her dial in to the show. It was a no-lose situation for him to have his wife (who has the sympathy of the nation with her) to attack someone on the extreme right. Good political move John! But we all now politics and ethics don't necessarily go hand in hand now do they?

Elizabeths point about Ann is being made very cleanly judging by these comments to their interaction - the responses certainly seem to be non-political in nature and cruel.

Janet, Pittsburgh, PA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:53:04 GMT

As I am reading through some of these comments, I can't help but wonder what school system some of these people have emerged from. Several of the respondents, D.Rose in particular can't even spell. Why would anyone want to hear comments from a moron who must have quit school in the third grade.

On topic, EE did not ask AC to quit speaking. She asked her to refrain from making fun of their deceased son. She did not do it for political gain. She did it out of heartache for her son. Any human being with any kind of basic respect for human life would listen. I thought the conservative platform was rooted in respecting human life.

Ann Coulter should show respect for the dead. If she wants to attack John Edwards, or anyone else for that matter, for his political record or his ideas fine, that is her constitutional right, but leave the deceased lie in peace. Shame on you!!

Dave, Ft Lauderdale, Fl — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:53:07 GMT

Hey Dave in NY and your ilk: Ann's comments about JE getting killed in a terrorist bombing that prompted EE's call was in response to Bill Maher's (far left- wing idiot) comment that Cheney should be killed in an Afghanistan attack. So in this case AC was the more informed person than you guys are. No shame in being an uninformed American, though. Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman from MSNBC will keep you guys in line! Yeah, right! And to the Palm Beach poster above, Matthews is not right wing...although he is so far left he is beginning to meet with the far right. So keep up your 6 and 1/2 years of bashing Bush and Cheney...those personal attacks are just fine. Just don't bash a Democrat. They whine like my dog's squeaky toy.

She causes everyday Americans, like myself, to start hateful speech towards others I don't share my opinion with, because this makes herself feel better. Thanks A.C. One true American.

If Ms. Edwards wishes to contact Ms. Coulter, she should write to her. I find it unseemly that the wife of a candidate for the position of president of the United States should exchange verbal assaults with anyone on television. If Mr. Edwards objects to "personal attacks," he is definitely not presidential material. Do you really think that Ms. Bush (Laura) responds when someone verbally attacks her husband who is President of the United States?

Ann Coulter is an individual who thrives on her abilities to speak negatively about those and this includes most people who she does not agree with. She has few if any words to say that are good or constructive and it is also true, that if you listen to Coulter, one would think she has little education. It is sad that she is allowed to have a show and paid for this. I guess in the end, Ann Coulter represents all that is bad in our society and we live in a society that in many respects, thrives on people like coulter.

Also, get this through you heads now JOHN EDWARDS IS NEVER GOING TO BE PRESIDENT! So who cares? I don't care and neither does anyone else in America. What I care about is Immigration reform and that it doesn't become a free for all for illegal aliens. Under all democrats that's exactly what you would get. You want to see a lunatic with a forum Keith Oberman. However, I don't care about him either, because he does have the right to say whatever he wants. after all it is America and there is something called free speach in the first ammendment of the constitution. What I'd like to hear all these idotic Democrat Candidates explain to me is how and why they seem to work so hard for illegal aliens and not for it's legal citizens. I wish they had that sort passion for us. You want to see a real left wing nut just look at that Bloated windbag Ted Kennedy - you'd think he was a Mexican politian.

Plain and simple. You would need to be mentally ill or have a sub-eighty IQ in order to take her seriously. So, if you're a Coulter fan, put down your romance and spy novels and start reading about the history of your country. Have a little pride in what our flag stands for. If you do, it will be obvious to you that while she may say and do whatever she wants, it is the duty of every American with a conscience to shun her for it.

In case yall forgot, John Edwards did not want to be on Fox News sponsored debate since it was "Biased" against Democrats. But Ann will go on MSNBC and get sandbagged by Mrs. John Edwards and will not cower or be intimidated. All the liberals can hate Ann for what she says, but they really hate her because they can't intimidate her. Her, Michelle M, Limbaugh or Hannity. Seems that the RINO's are ok since they have been intimidated into acting meek or actually acting liberal. I can just imagine Hillary on Fox and Friends and just happen to have Tom Delay call in. KaKa would hit the fans I bet you. Yes, the most hated people in America are the conservatives that wont be intimidated. Ann, your the bomb. Keep it up.

Ann Coulter wants people to take her seriously....how, I don't know...she should make up her mind - and pick either trying to be serious, or go full force clown - which is where she is leaning, and unfortunately, not funny - more pathetic, yes - that's it. People comparing her (as she did when she claimed her comments were no more vial than Bill Maher's) to an entertainer would also think Walter Cronkite & Johnny Carson were on the same level for reporting the news......please, use your heads..... She's a pathetic fool, as is anyone who thinks she speaks for "them".....Right wings can take her & their "boy" George and fade into oblivion.

It is extremists like her (right or left)that never allow someone with a different viewpoint to complete what they have to say and are afraid to be challenged because they have nothing of value to say themselves. Does the term bully fit nicely or what?

ms hunziker, Los Angeles, CA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:16:05 GMT

Okay, so most of the posters here are against what Ann Coulter is about---and---what she says. FINE.
Where were all of these same posters when Michale Moore spews his "hate juice"? I did not hear Chris Matthews taking calls from politicians wives when Moore was front and center just a couple of short years ago. mICHAEL mOORE was featured on MSM outlets endlessly and gratuitously while providing only negative stuff---the majority of which was proved to be lies. Oh yeah---he was regaled and rewarded by that bastion of liberal/leftist holy ground; HOLLYWOOD. However, nowhere was there anyone from the left, or the democrat party---OR, from just plain old regular folks like those posters here, to clip his wings--he was even seated next to Jimmy Carter at the last Democrat National Convention.

And how 'bout that other vial of vitriolic verve, Al Franken, and the counter productive crap he throws? Where are all of these righteous posters in spouting at Al Franken?---non existent, that's where. You see, it's fine for anyone to lob untruths and hate towards the conservatives in this country------BUT, do not turn tables in this regard; that is downright unacceptable.
What a ration of hypocrisy from these posters.

Say what you will about Ann Coulter, but don't forget to keep consistently and conveniently tightlipped and sniggeringly silent when the Michael Moore's, Al Franken's, Howard Dean's, and half of Hollywood come forward with their versions of hate-filled crap.

Wakefield Tolbert — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:16:11 GMT

It would be interesting to see if any of the commentators both here and in the MSM decide to attack Bill Maher and his many fans in the blogosphere who made the ugly remark about Dick Cheney getting killed in some terrorist attack. I've seen this all over the web--in SUPPORT of Maher. And defending the notion that talk show hosts have the "right" to cluck over this and the fact that HUNDREDS of lefty blogs, like Daily Kos, have posters who pine away for this kind of event. The other difference here is that Coulter usually makes her remarks rather tongue in cheek and to point out other people hypocrisy and ugliness in similar areas, as we she asked why Bush is being called a baby killer when in fact both Hussein and his replacements in the terror realm have perfected the art of killing innocents, etc. But enough.

Why is the parody of Bill Maher? After all, unlike Coulter (who is MEAN!!! yipes!) Maher probably DOES--like his allies in the liberal blogs--wish for the death of high level government officials.

It's obvious by your comments that you don't ever let reality interfere with your logic. John Edwards is a two faced lying extreme left wing nut ball who thinks what's mine is yours and what's his is his. Ann Coulter does what few conservatives do, take on you hate loving socialists. There will come a day when the rest of the conservatives in this country have had enough of your "touchy feely" "you are special" "it's not my fault" liberals. That day is fast approaching. When you come down off of your soap boxes and your spin through wonderland, take a look around you. The United States is overwhelmingly Conservative.

Liberals whine about bias in the media and talk radio and they do so because when the truth about them gets put out there they can't debate it and can't handle it. Rush Limbaugh calls today's media the "drive-by media" which is dead on, but doesn't whine about it, he addresses it and brings the other side and truth to light and whiny little liberals can't handle it.

I am more interested in what she ment by the $50,000 speach to the poor. When I googled it a Drudge report said Edwards has a "non profit Org for the poor" set up. Info obtained from public filings show that something like 90% of the millions raised went to him personally for travel,perks, and paying himself speaking fees. Some say it was to keep is name in the public for the time during the last elections and the start of campaigning for this election. If this is true the Edwards are slimier for their actions than AC's words.

One may not like her style and that's fine but if you look past the delivery and focus on the message you will find more truth than hype.

1-Chris Matthews setting up this whole phone call thing to embarass Miss Coulter.
2-MSNBC Showing the entire phone call and the response e-mails from all the Ann Coulter haters. This was all done to embarass her. This is why you are losing your readership.

Thank you for the oppurtunity for the country to see and hear how twisted Ann Coulter and Rush can be first hand.

Where is the outrage and the intense media scrutiny over Bill Maher’s comments about killing the vice President which was the pretext to Ann’s comments on Good Morning American a small point of fact which NO ONE in the media...including MSNBC covered with the same amount of intense scrutiny....and opening the morning news with this piece as if its major news is such incredibly self serving transparency.AC is a goddess!

Really, Harball! Instead of Ann C., why not get someone like George F. Will to debate the conservative issues. I consider myself a moderate conservative and it makes my blood boil when I see Coulter's idiotic diatribes on national TV.

Why is it that Ann Coulter is constantly given venues to spew her vile. Shame on those in the media that provide her that venue. She brings down the discourse and bright though she may be adds nothing to it.
Ann Coulter look at yourself and your legacy-is this really the way you want to be remembered? When you look back at your life is this something you can be proud of?

Why does Chris keep putting on that vitriolic poisonous screed named Ann Coulter? Are his ratings that low? And, adding insult to injury, he plays softball with her! Not once did he follow up with her or question her assertions. He just allowed her to get away with her unsubstantiated assertions and accusations! Here are a couple questions worthy of "Ms." Coulter:

You wear extremely short skirts, yet you tightly cross your legs. Isn't this a contradiction?

So you believe appearing as a skeleton with long blond hair and shades constitute beauty or sexiness?

The woman is PATHETIC Chris, and so are you! The show is called HARDBALL - remember?

Geeze!

Ann Coulter defines and convicts herself every time she opens her mouth. If only she had the courage to take responsibility for her actions, there might be some redeeming value to her free-speech. She appears as a typical coward, acts tough but isn't. Inside is a vile, toxicity that will eventually cause her own demise - a cancer of her own creation, and I wouldn't be surprised when she blames it on someone else.

Make no mistake - Ann Coulter talks like every boy in the backroom of those hallowed halls - they just don't have the guts to be upfront about it. Notice too that no one has been able to dig up any dirt on her. As a conservative, I'm tired of the sucker punches from the liberal camp. The gloves are off.

Barry Turner-Hunt, York, South Carolina — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:19:29 GMT

Everybody keeps asking why Ms Coulter is wearing yet another black cocktail dress before 6pm. I think it is because she has no GAY men in her life!
Though, let me just say, after hearing all the crap that comes out of that mouth of hers, as a Gay man, I'd tell her she looked fabulous! Halter necked black cocktail dresses at 2pm are so hot! and having straw-like bleached blonde hair, that looks like it should be dipped in a mop bucket is drop-dead gorgeous!
GOOD GOING Elizabeth Edwards! You are the epitome of grace, and good breeding! I am so proud of you!

I don't understand why people think so highly of Ann Coulter. Most of what she says is full of hate. How can you even call this a discussion? All Ann did was continually talk over Elizabeth and avoid the whole topic.

Also, the fact that Elizabeth called in is great to see. We see most politician's wives in the background, smiling and waving like puppets. She is showing that she has her own opinions and thoughts.

I am a conservative and no political supporter of the Edwards family.

However, she is right. Ann Coulter is the worst possible representative of the Conservative movement and if she can't understand the difference between a request to raise the level of discource and a request to shut up altogether, I'll settle for her shutting up altogether.

Shame on MSNBC and Chris Matthews for continuing to provide her with a platform to speak. You're as much to blame as is she.

Ann Coulter has the same damaging effect on this country as Michael Moore has, albeit from a different direction. How can we ever have rational, productive political dialogue when it seems the two parties keep moving further and further apart? Where can we find someone with integrity and a real desire to heal this country and find common ground? All our energy is spent flinging insults at one another. When did the needs of the country and it's people take a back seat to "one upping" the other party? The American People are becoming desperate for someone to believe in, and it seems no one is listening.

Comparing Michael Moore and O'Donnell to AC is like comparing Mandela to Hitler. Michael Moore does not call people names. He sticks to the issues and always offer a camera and a mic to those he tries to expose. Rosie is a comedian who satires people.
Coulter and rush are liars who avoid debating the issues by attacking others in disgusting ways. These two support harmful actions and policies. They justify killings and genocides as a meam to accomplish their ideology. You would rather trust Moore and O'Donnell with your life instead of Couler and Rush. They are against killing.

Ann Coulter professes to be religious yet she seems to lack compassion for anyone who doesn't agree with her. She is intolerent and highly judgemental, condemning an entire group of people that she has never met as "Godless" based on their political inclinations (liberals) knowing nothing about the way that they treat their fellow man. I am left wondering which religion she claims to follow. Surely not Christianity. I mean, doesn't Ann just radiate the spirit of Christ! Maybe Ann considers fascism to be a religion. I am reminded of a quote by novelist Sinclair Lewis "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross". Ann Coulter is the "boney legged" poster child of fascist America.

I think most people understand who Ann Coulter is. Unfortunately the Constituition guarantees her freedom to say any stupid vile thing about anybody she wishes. The question what were MSNBC and Chris Matthews (whom I use to respect) thinking? Yes, Ann Coulter has somewhat of a following of people who listen to her rantings. But that same can be said of Bin Laden, Louis Farakhan, Irans President, and others who spew nothing but cynical hate for no sane reason. You guys at MSNBC need to clean it up a bit before you lose another avid watcher.

Chris Hoyda- Boston, MA — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:26:22 GMT

The reason Chris Matthews had Ann Coulter on his show is because she is controversial and therefore draws viewers. Ann Coulter is not a very deep thinker when it comes to politics which puts her in the same segment as many (not all) Americans. When a viewer tunes into a program like Hardball do they really want to see, as Elizabeth Edwards put it, "a meaningful dialogue about the issues?" I regret to say probably not. Mostly television is entertainment.
You can always change the channel to C-SPAN to see politicians live do what we are paying them to do.

How she became a poster child for the Rebublican Party is beyond me. Enough of her already. But then I am sure she is laughing all the way to the bank. As usual with conservatives it's always about money and lining their pockets first. Who was her mentor, Dick Cheney? Chris, quit giving her airtime.

Ann deserves no level of support or respect.

No, the Bush family may not confront everyone who says bad things about them, but if these comments were made regarding them or anyone in the Republican party, the person responsible would be in federal jail, treated as a terrorist with no lawyer.

Should Ann Coulter not be allowed to express her views anymore? Certainly not, that's very un-American. But it is very plain to see that her increasingly aggressive attitude betrays an increasing defensiveness and fear of a viable Democratic candidate for president. Ms. Coulter's taking cheap shots because that's all she's got! How pathetic! And she's supposed to be some grand conservative pundit? Edwards stands to be the next FDR; conservatives then hated FDR, too, with the same venom conservatives today are spitting at John Edwards. But it's always better to handle that kind of thing with grace, as Mrs. Edwards did. Thanks for calling out Ann, Elizabeth!

Ann Coulter was put to the test today and she failed.
No substance to this ignorant woman. No answers
to any issues that matter. I wish America would get
angry and get rid of the administration ruining
our lives and the country's reputation. We are
the greatest place on Earth and we have to elect
someone who can get us back on track. Bush has
nothing to lose so he will do whatever he can to benefit himself and his buddy Chaney, then move on
and leave this hugh and horrible mess. Haliburton,
gas, line the pockets of all their rich friends,
ignore rules and do not have to answer to anyone.
Just keep the negative and in your face rhetoric
going along with the scare tactics. Yes terrorism is
worse than ever, thanks to Iraq war, I don't believe
Sadam caused 9/11 or the bull of WMD in Iraq.
All lies because this adminstration does not care about America, just themselves. They should be
impeached. All the spins from people like Ann C.
is what they want, the Jerry Springer show is what
they want America to be so the attention is diverted
from the real issues and crimes being created by
the mess in office now. Thank you Elizabeth for
calling on someone to respond to the ugliness they
spread and showing that as I and everyone thinks,
she does not have any substance, what a vile
and sad person. Now Ann, go and show us something
positive and good that your party stands for.
I didn't think so.

I can see that most of the posters here are proud members of the liberal left. Declaring victory, and stroking one another's egos about how they once again stand on the moral high ground.

Look EE isn't immune from criticism, she is a public figure. Maybe AC was a little bit insensitive this time or even wrong.

But she is RIGHT the other 98% of the time. John Edwards is a hypocrite. He is the problem with America today. A self serving, egoist, who say's one thing and does another, and thinks he knows what's good for the majority of americans. But, he does not! A $400.00 haircut doesn't make you more intelligent then the average american, JUST MORE FOOLISH!

To EE leave the political arena to your husband, by going on the airwaves you are just asking to be humiliated.

While I applaud MSNBC to have Mrs. Edwards and Ms.Coulter on air, this was just showing all americans that coulter could be the antichrist and that she should be be boycotted in ALL MEDIA. Frankly if she care about this country, I agree with chloe and have her and rosie be locked in a steel cage, and beat the crap out of each other and all proceeds go to organizations that are doing fighting the fight for all americans.

Yes, Ann Coulter does what she does to sell books. She is to political commentary what Jerry Springer is to newscasts. She is political "infotainment".

The people who cheer this woman on have sacrificed all desire to have any political discourse for the sake of resolving issues, or sharing thoughts. They, and she, exhibit nothing but hatefulness. While she has a right to speak, the value of her speech is limited by the content and manner of her message. Don't defend her by defending her right to speak, making her out to be some First Amendment martyr. She is not. Defend the content of her speech, if you can.

What she needs is a true McCarthy moment, where America can finally say "have you no shame?" I hope this is it.

Does it really matter how long ago it was...well I guess it does if AC had grown a heart or a conscience since then, but I see no evidence of that. This is not about politics, free speech, left, right, etc. it's about human decency, something Ann Coulter clearly knows nothing about.

Thankfully, the vast majority of comments here agree that Ann Coulter is a vile, ugly person who cannot hole any legitimate debate. The others are just as bad as she is--using foul language which as Elizabeth Edwards said, adds nothing to the debate. Chris Matthews is getting to be as bad as the rest of 'em. Chris, you called Coulter brilliant this morning on Today. Your definition of brilliant and mine are vastly different.

Coulter has no credence with anyone who legitimately wants this country to move forward.

When AC is put on the air, I turn the channel. People need to quit watching Chris Matthews when he has AC on the air. I would have rather listened to Paris Hilton. Inside Edition was on and I watched. Turned from The Today Show to Good Morning America as well when the replay was given air time.

Was I watching MSNBC yesterday, or Fox News? That was ridiculous. I would call these so-called news channels BS, but that would be insulting to cows. The hosts and programming on these two stations are very extreme and unbalanced, and will do anything for ratings. They continue to not cover actual news and choose their discourse around the most polarizing of issues and public figures. Why even discuss Ann Coulter and Rosie O'Donnell, as if they're even important? Most of us are not extreme liberals or extreme conservatives, we're somewhere in the middle, and that's where news/political analysis should be. This is symptomatic of journalism today. It's becoming more about entertainment and ratings than news and insight.

Could this blog or network be anymore liberal biased? People applauding Liz Edwards? For what? Taking up a fight for her emasculated husband and saving the day for the bumbling Matthews? And this guy should be the leader of the free world? Unfortunately Liz is being a pathetic political pawn, either knowingly or not, in her husbands' campaign for President. Are you viewers too stupid or too naive to see there is very little difference between these two women except one sweet talks with her southern drawl while the either talks like a NYC construction worker? I pray for Mrs. Edwards every night as her battle against cancer has been heroic. It's too bad her husband is a selfish, self centered egotistical scoundrel because I'm sure his time would be better spent with her instead of this ill-fated campaign.

Ann Coulter has no way of knowing what it is like to try & protect you children/spouse! I did some research and found that she has no children, surprise! She has dated allot but has yet to find someone willing to stay with her. Sorry Mrs. Edwards she will never understand. But as long as the media keeps putting her on their shows and in print she will linger forever. Ms. Coulter no one is telling you to shut your mouth, we are all asking that you leave these children alone!! Find some morals!!

Bottom line. This was said 3 years ago. Why didnt E.E. speak up then? I know, cause it serves her (and his) agenda to be the victim now. Free air time telling everyone how her family is the victim of attacks (3 yrs ago) and her "good values" cant understand why. Give me a break. You should have spoke up 3 yrs ago. Pay for your air time with free money like everyone else. I think Anns comment was tacky, but it should have been pointed out when it was said, not later at a time to better serve the campaign.

Can we please address the real issue here? A child is gone forever, and AC has attack the memory of that boy. Politics aside ~ which is what this occasion has really done ~~ AC has hurt parents who have lost a very precious treasure. If her attack had political value it would be one thing, but it didn't! Do we in USA so value the opportunity to get ahead that we are willing to attack the very heart and spirit of people on a very personal level? How has life come to this? Let's stop giving people like AC the opportunity (Chris) to air their agendas at the expense and pain of others. All of this presented by a parent who has lost a son at the age of 14 years. You all should evaluate yourselfs and be grieved!

I quit watching Hardball with Chris Matthews long ago mainly because I became tired of him.
What amazes me is that if a person is on his show has an opinion that differs from his he rarely allows them to state the facts as they see them.
I may not agree with everything Ms. Coulter says but she does have some valid points.
Personal attacks are not limited to the conservative party alone as it would seem alot of the comments on this subject would lead us to believe.
I sympathize for the loss that the Edwards have experienced and the current battle with cancer that Mrs. Edwards is dealing with.
However that does not make her or her husband saints.

When you read some of Me. Edwards court room arguements in cases he has been involved in it makes the term "ambulance chaser" seem mild when describing personal injury lawyers.

No this is not another personal attack on Mr. Edwards I am simply stating that I do not have much respect for someone who wants to be President of the United States and has yet to come out and answer questions concerning his not for profit organization and the financial dealings that are questionable.

Shame on MSNBC, and Chris Matthews, Ann Coulter and Elizibeth Edwards. Oh brother. You're all watching, now you're pissed. Do any of you really think anything that any of you say matters? There's nothing but corruption all up and down the line, from the businesses you work in, to school district's, the local, state, and federal government. Maybe not all, but you know there's a good percentage. Want a permit for something? Well the guy, that knows a guy, gets favorable treatment than those that don't. All those honest public servants working for us all. Just like Nyfong eh? How many of you feel like suckers for voting for that guy? Most want in there because they have better conditions, pay, and benny's. True? Look at the real picture. All the government positions are like that. What does congress have for health care? What do you have? Ha! The list goes on and on. It's all about the racist color of green. What a bunch of boobs. Blah blah blah. As long as you all get your piece of mind by feeling good about whatever someone tells you there gonna do. Then they don't. Proofs in the pudding. When was the last time any of you ever gave your wealth away to help in some way, and lived on what you could get by with? You can't, and won't. Everyone wants to build, build, build, and pass it on. That's great, but stop pointing fingers at all the people that use the big forum to promote their pursuit of more, more, more. Gotta figure there's something in there for all who participate. Why don't those who call on the government to solve every problem about human indecencies, put up , or ,shut up. Mother Theresa for President? What? Too much religion, too much Indian, too much woman. Nope, too much Heart. Face it, shame on all of us. Me included. I want better for my kids. Worked too hard to get here. And I'm as selfish as you all are. But I'm in a position that only allows me to give what time and money that I have at my disposal without failing my families basic dream of being able to get an education for the kids so they can at least have a running start. So do I vote for the guy who says he's going to let my kids be eligible for tuition for school even though I'm out of the bracket income wise? Never gonna happen. Tuff baby you earn too much for a family of 5. Pay for it yourself or let you kids become a government ward. What do you do? Get mad? Cry? And for me to put any trust into the people that use the money they earn to further their ambitions by telling me what good they are doing for me is ridiculous. No one gave me a darn thing. Out of the house (by choice) at 17 (Army bound) and now after all my pursuits I finds years of the same hard road for my sons. I'm not complaining. It's they way it is. Been this way for years if you're honest with yourself. Everyone is hedging their bets. My race, my gender, my religion, my political party. Rights? Your right to this , to do that. Drive your car. What about those that have no car? No benefits, ederly with no family? Do any of you help those people? Oopps, the goverment should, I pay taxes, now I feel better. I got other things to take care of in this space and time. I'll help later. Put a tax on it and trust those things will be taken care of and all can sleep well at night. Fact of the matter is that only a small percentage of things get taken care of in that way and there is still plenty of banter about those issue's. All you big dogs out there with your soap boxes and the money, What do any of YOU do to help? How much is enough for you to live on? It's funny how all these people that have so many blessings run around telling you what should be done and they in turn don't lead by example. All of these mouth pieces have all kinds of money. Send their kids to the best school's, live in places you never dreamed of. If you're going to run around promoting what you feel the government should do, or not do, then you need to lead by example and stop giving your stupid opinions to us all. Go to war, but not my child. Send the military. What's the military? And don't give me the BS that's it's all made up of the poor person who had no other way. Most of then are there because their the best of us all. And have a desire to give of themselves. Some hope for a better return on their commitment, i.e training, school. Most roll the dice and hope they can finish before they may have to honor the country with their lives. But it ain't no rich kid going there. Yeah, all your votes count. What a hoot. You know what? When Rush, Oprah, Sean Penn, Michael Moore, and any other know it all gives up a large portion of what they have been blessed with by virtue of being in this country to help with the wrongs of this world, then maybe you'll see me take the time to listen to them. Till then you all need to get busy putting up or shutting up.

The thing I noticed watching this theater on the news was that while Ann Coulter tried to deflect Mrs. Edwards comments, she looked uncomfortable to have to actually talk to someone she demens. It is one thing to have the courage to write something on paper or speak prepared attacks on camera to actually talking to a real human. The Ann Coulters, Rush Limbaughs, Rev Dobsons, and Rosie O'Donnels do nothing to further progress in America, all they do is cheapen our already decaying moral fiber by their lack of compassion and understanding.

Coulter and rush are liars who avoid debating the issues by attacking others in disgusting ways. These two support harmful actions and policies.

Ann Coulter is unfortunately what today's public has accepted as what one calls a political journalist and/or commentator. Years ago we called people such as her, a "Muckraker". She distorts facts, insults and ridicules individuals, e.g. parents, wives, etc. of those who perished in the World Trade Center catastrophe and so on. She just goes on and on. This appeals to a certain mentality and sells books to them.Frankly to put it politely, the world would be a better place if she was a typical "Suzy Homemaker", but then again, I would feel sorry for her children. Or perhaps if she or the ilk of her didn't exist at all. By the way, I'm not a flaming Liberal either.

Where is the outrage and the intense media scrutiny over Bill Maher’s comments about killing the vice President which was the pretext to Ann’s comments on Good Morning American a small point of fact which NO ONE in the media...including this HACK of a network covered with the same amount of intense scrutiny....and opening the morning news with this piece as if its major news is such incredibly self serving transparency.

Attacking the dead son of a Presidential candidate is despicable and I am very disappointed in MSNBC for one, having this over privileged, self righteous, self-important woman on the show let and two, hiring a silly host without the backbone to call her on her comments that were clearly hateful and disrespectful. Say what you will about a candidate they are fair game, but to attack a person incapable of responding back! IDIOT!
Chris Matthews showed his true colors by not getting the interview on track about the issues or her idiotic opinion of things. Being on the Today Show this morning and feigning concern over her comments after the fact is tactless and cowardly. And shame on MSNBC for putting this person on to spew her inanity and hate. Will you put on a person of color who has the same ignorance? I doubt it.
What makes America great is our freedom. As an Army Veteran I am ok with her having her opinions, however close-minded and ridiculous I believe them to be. I find those people, particularly the young lady behind her in the crowd and those like her, funny and sad. They are such blank slates to be filled with whatever venom comes from the mouths of rich people who are making fun of them and making money off of them. Silly sheep! Coulter is making money hand over fist from simple people looking for someone to tell them what to do and how to think.

Scott Tracy,

Lift the needle, Scott. You are stuck on a broken record. Or you must have stock in MSNBC or you are related to the 'Message approver'??

One thing is clear. June 27th, 2007 has marked the beginning of the end of Ann Coulter. Maybe we are finally done with this type of political entertainment.

Ann Coulter ?%#@&
It is a new low in the media world to allow Ann Coulter to apear on national TV to insult people.
Her education was useless since her only way of existing is through the cost of putting down others.
Education is about respecting yourself and others around you. Of coarse it is taught that to educate is to think deep thoughts. But AC is looking at deep pockets full of cash and the media is indulging in an evil game to allow this woman to carry on as she is..
There is no respect for the population anymore.

I hear that Ann Coulter was sexually molested by her father as a child. Maybe that is where her hate comes from?

We can be just as nasty and despicable as she is. Let's fight fire with fire...

I have only one description for AC, satan without the horns and the gotee, a godlesss money-whorring, pr addicted, excuse for a blonde ( wait, scrach that,) woman. Her stupidity has now made her a absolute enemy to the USA and real , intellectual, classy women everywhere. Coulter, we apologize if your life is a living hell just because you are ugly and have to appear on TV to just to have a man date you. Yes you should be really thanking god for make up and also you and rosie can be locked in a steel cage and duke it out with all proceeds going to help organizations that are trying to help america's hard working poor and middle class families.

Kudos to Ann Coulter for not backing down. It's about time Republicans start fighting back. It is pathetic when a presidential candidates wife has to call and request that Ann stop speaking. Doesn't pretty boy Edwards have enough back bone to make the call himself or is he too busy getting a $400.00 hair cut. I also think it is pathetic to bring up the death of their son that happened a few years ago and also for the Edwards to announce Elizabeth's cancer is back. I believe this is a ploy to gain sympathy votes. Honestly that's a personal issue and thus needs to be kept to themselves. So once again they are trying to gain sympathy votes by having Elizabeth make this call from a "mother". John is such a phony it oozes from his pretty boy hairdo!

i listened to AC a few times, saw she was nothing more than an airhead, my son bought her book which I tried to read, it sits on a shelf with a few other unread books. She can slander whomever she wants with her airhead views, it is a shameful way to make a living. The pot calling the kettle black is her mode of commentary. If we accept AC how can we possibly critise Michael Moore or anyone else??? But it makes her RICH and money is the name of the game.

I don't think that EE should have verbally attacked AC on a call in show, maybe it was planned by CM.
AC's comments about JE getting killed in a terrorist bombing that prompted EE's call was in response to Bill Maher's comment that VP Cheney should be killed in an Afghanistan attack.

There is no excuse for AC's attack on the Edwards, especially regarding such a personal matter. This just goes to show what kind of person AC is so why would anyone believe a word she says regarding other matters as well, when it is clear she is white trash with her cheap attacks! I knew there was a reason I "choose" NOT to watch CM's show...this is IT!!!

As someone who was at the filming of Hardball yesterday, I got an up-close-and-personal view of Ann, and now feel the need to shower several times. While I wasn't surprised at her attacks or her language, I was certainly surprised that nearly a majority of the people in the crowd were from the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. I know this because I offered them some water in the 90-plus degree weather.

It is one thing to come see Ann Coulter or any television personality as an individual or a group, but to have the National Party send a legion of young people (well-dressed but incredibly ignorant, it seems) is incredibly poor behavior. The RNC is seemingly condoning her language, which is why they will continue to lose voters and lose the White House in 2008. For all the talk about appealing to mainstream voters, republicans continually shoot themselves in the foot (or face, if they follow Dick Cheney's lead.)

In five minutes MSNBC tolerated and enabled Ann Coulter to make an anti-Semitic slur, refer to juries from the Southern United States as illiterate, and to continue her campaign of vitriolic hate in the name of cash. Dan Abrahams and Chris Mathews you should stand up like men and apologize for this predictable behavior from a crass merchant of hate.

Ann Coulter behavor is out of control. No more Air Time, no more of giving her a platform to spred her hateful agenda. The Media has got to clean us the airways. Dialogue and controversial topic are healthy. but not personal attacts.

I am a Conservitive Republician to the highest, but I very much dislike Ann Coulter. I think that she is rude and inconsiderate of other peoples feelings. I wish that she would keep her mouth shut!!!
