There is much buzz this weekend about comments that conservative author/columnist Ann Coulter made at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.
Ann Coulter used the term "raghead".
And Liberal Blogger Steve Gilliard, whose most notable work is referring to Lt Gov Michael Steele as Sambo, is outraged.
Both 'raghead' and 'sambo' are smear words, they are both intended to insult the person referred to.
I defend the right of both Steve and Ann to use such langauge.
I defend the right of anybody to verbally criticize them for using those words.
Free Expression allows for both good and bad expression.
