Carl Paladino's anti-gay antics may have lost him votes in New York, but they won him the support of conservative pundit Ann Coulter. Coulter used an appearance on the The O’Reilly Factor yesterday to defend Paladino. She argued that Paladino's tirade took aim at "gay left-wing activists," not homosexuals in general, and that his comments played well given the audience. O'Reilly disagreed: “I think everybody but you in the world agrees,” he said. “This isn’t going to help the guy.” (Click here for more on Paladino.)
