Human Race | Ann Coulter wins seminary audience with more barbs | Jamie Dean

The South is one of the only places where Ann Coulter doesn't get hassled. That's what the columnist told an audience at Southern Evangelical Seminary (SES) in Charlotte, N.C., on May 10. The speaking engagement was Coulter's first public appearance in John Edwards' home state since she alluded to the Democratic presidential candidate as a "faggot" at a conservative conference in Washington, D.C., in March.

Coulter didn't verbally hassle Edwards in her remarks to more than 500 at the seminary, but she had plenty of acidic zingers for other liberals. Former President Bill Clinton is a "decadent buffoon," who is also "half-white, half-trash," Coulter said. Sen. Hillary Clinton backed down from a recent argument by "retreating on her chubby little legs," she added.
