Conservative writer and commentator Ann Coulter is defending her decision to call presidential candidate John Edwards a “faggot.” Last night on Fox News, Coulter said, “I think the lesson young right-wingers ought to draw from this is: It’s really not that scary to attack liberals.” Coulter’s comments came during the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. On Monday, three major corporations — Verizon, Sallie Mae and the Georgia-based NetBank — announced they would pull their ads from Ann Coulter’s website.
