The Ann Coulter "Godless" Flap

Ann Coulter has the hounds nipping at her heels. And, after some of you read this, you may be nipping at mine.

In her new book Godless: The Church of Liberalism, Ann Coulter takes on the Jersey Girls in her usual, take-no-prisoners style:

A group of New Jersey 9/11 widows - Kleinberg, Kristin Breitweiser, Patty Casazza and Lorie Van Auken - created headlines by pushing for a wide examination of intelligence and security failures that eventually led to the creation of the 9/11 commission.

In 2004, they endorsed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, fiercely denounced President Bush and participated in political ads using images from the attacks - actions that prompted Coulter's attack.

"These self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them. The whole nation was wounded, all our lives reduced. But they believed the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony," Coulter said.

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis."

Coulter accused the four widows of "trying to convert their personal tragedy into a weapon to dictate national policy."

And then she got personal.

"And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy," Coulter said.

Coulter usually riles a few people with her writings, but this really raised the roof. Not only are those on the left decrying her comments, but there are plenty of those on the right who disagree with her as well. Coulter is receiving equal opportunity condemnation.

Naturally, she is unapologetic. She always stands behind what she says and writes. But is she truly wrong? Writing for World Net Daily, Kevin McCullough thinks not.

Found a well thought-out post on this subject here: http://takeastandagainstliberals.blogspot.com/2006/06/ann-coulter-vs-jersey-girls.html

Coulter' exactly right on her point. The latest "infallible" victim - Michael Berg (case and point all day yesterday).

The use of the word "enjoyed" is what has got everyone up in a tizzy. "Exploited" might have been a better choice, but I'm sure that the ads these clowns cut for John Kerry blaming the 9-11 attacks on Bush didn't include hysterical crying and wailing.

If the Jersey Girls have enough fortitude to become de-facto spokespeople for Bush-bashing left-wing ranting (its not like these talking points aren't espoused by every left-wing nut in the nation every day), they consequently need the fortitude to accept criticism for what they say and cut in Democrat political ads.

The end. Grow up, libs. Learn to debate without hiding behind a greif-stricken victim. All of this hubaloo is proving Coulter's point.

Gary, would that be the same as exploiting a brain-damaged woman simply because she's the latest media darling? Republicans have an extremely short memory, I see. You people have exploited 9/11 and used it to justify some pretty disgusting actions and statements. Now, those tactics are being used against you and you want to scream "faul". You people are hilarious hypocrites...

There's a very vocal minority that believes they "own" 9/11. This stuff didn't happen after the Pearl Harbor attack.

Like Hitler, who hated the Jews more than he loved Germany, the Liberals hate George Bush more than they love the United States.

Ann Coulter has exposed the Libs' subtle strategy of parading, so-called, "untouchable" victims to advance their own agenda.

Nice job Ann!

Ms. Coulter just said what most people are thinking.

We have Ann Coulter's Book, "Godless." I not only agre with Ann but would go a little farther. I think some of the liberals have gone so far over the line as to be labeled unpatriotic and in some cases, traiterous. Some may even have been instrumental in the deaths of some of our military in Iraq.
