The republican noise machine is such a laugh riot<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\n

Speaking today at the Conservative Political Action Conference, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter said: “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.” Audience members said “ohhh” and then cheered.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ha, ha…<\/p>\n

New Jersey Man Brutally Beaten for Wearing Pink Pants<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A 21-year-old man from Bayonne, New Jersey was followed off the PATH train in Hoboken and attacked by two men who had been harassing him on the train for, among other things, wearing pink pants.<\/p>\n

Hobokenpath Police are calling the attack an anti-gay hate crime, according to the Jersey Journal:<\/p>\n

\n

"When the train pulled into the Hoboken station, the two men followed the Bayonne man off the train and up the stairs, then attacked him near a newsstand on the concourse in Hoboken Terminal, police said. The man required 12 stitches to close facial wounds, police said, adding that he also had a black eye and was temporarily blinded in one eye. Using video shot from security cameras, police were able to identify Hoboken High School student Andy Rivera, 19, of Marshall Drive. He was brought to the police station for questioning and arrested Tuesday at 2 p.m. on charges of bias intimidation and aggravated assault."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The other assailant is still at large, but a warrant has been issued for his arrest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’ll bet Couter’s audience would have cheered that beating too.  Coulter, you’ll recall, is the well respected conservative pundit who said her only problem with Timothy McVeigh is he didn’t go to the New York Times building.<\/p>\n

\n

Former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), prior to Coulter’s appearance: “I am happy to hear that after you hear from me, you will hear from Ann Coulter. That is a good thing. Oh yeah!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ha.  Ha.  Oh yeah…!<\/p>\n

Sketch released of Anthos hate killer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Police in Detroit released a sketch Thursday of the man suspected of killing Andrew Anthos, a 72-year-old disabled gay man<\/a> whose dream was to light the Michigan State Capitol dome red, white and blue for Independence Day.<\/p>\n

Anthos died Feb. 23, 10 days after a fellow bus rider, spouting anti-gay slurs, paralyzed him with a blow from behind with a metal pipe. Police have since questioned several people aboard the bus, including the wheelchair-bound friend Anthos was helping through the snow when he was struck.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
