...the COUNTER-ATTACK on Ann's new book, "Godless" -- just as she predicted, in that book! :o)
Cat fight! Popcorn? This is gonna be good.
I'll have to write Ann and tell her she missed "ghoulish".
And she's right. I'm sick of the double-standard by which THOUSANDS of veterans and/or returning veterans and their families are ignored for the ONE harpie, Cindy Sheehan and the unbalanced Jack Murtha, yet these 9/11 witches have the media's complete attention any time they want to level a charge against Bush. Enough.
The part about the 9-11 widows is certainly getting the book attention. She has a point tho, but I guess it was the Ann way of voicing it that disturbed people, quite frankly I see her point and agree.
I thought pretty much the same about these 9/11 widows myself back before the elections and haven´t changed my mind much since.
I watched Ann on TV last night. One important point she made was that the 9/11 Widows essentially used their status as a 100% shield. If you attack their position they say "you can't say anything bad about me, I'm a 9/11 Widow (ala Sheehan)."
There's no such thing as bad publicity, if you're trying to sell books. Go Ann!
"In Coulter's latest book, "Godless," she calls them "harpies" and the "Witches of East Brunswick.""
Yeah, the Kleinbergs. Alan was a nice guy. Good kids. Why his wife did this is beyond me.
Hummina, hummina, hummina...
Rabble-rouser creates an uproar? Sounds like a dog bites man story to me. She's getting the ink she needs to sell books. I'm sure she's happy with the splash she made, and very happy to have been on the Today show. You can't buy that kind of publicity.
ps--rd, i remember you from the davy crockett research project a few years back. what up, dog?
Very pithy, and right on the money. Ann scores a direct hit.
Massive chip on her Coulter
Ann's vicious screed
When their husbands were killed on 9/11, four New Jersey widows tried to find out why - and now no-holds-barred conservative pundit Ann Coulter is mercilessly denouncing them as "witches."
One of the controversial excerpts from Ann Coulter's new book 'Godless': '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.' "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter writes in her new book.
Her brutal words were challenged yesterday on national television by "Today" host Matt Lauer - and she was slammed by the widows she derided as self-absorbed, limelight-seeking "harpies."
"I'd like her to meet my daughter and tell her how anyone could enjoy their father's death," said Kristen Breitweiser, one of four widows known as the "Jersey Girls."
"She sounds like a very disturbed, unraveled person," added Breitweiser.
In "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," the uncompromisingly right-wing Coulter writes the Jersey Girls have no right to criticize President Bush or any of the failures that led to the terror attacks.
"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis," Coulter writes.
"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. . .
"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."
Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg and Patty Casazza bonded after their husbands died on 9/11, leaving them with seven children and a desire for answers.
They pushed to create the 9/11 commission, which put out a scathing report criticizing the Clinton and Bush administrations for not taking the terrorist threat more seriously - and found New York's emergency response system wasn't prepared for a serious attack.
"Our ports have not been secured. Our borders have not been secured. We still haven't caught [Osama] Bin Laden," Van Auken said yesterday. "She's not even talking about what we were talking about. She's just attacking."
The Jersey Girls - or, as Coulter calls them, "the Witches of East Brunswick" - have been criticized before, but never like this. Van Auken told the Daily News she was stunned by the vitriol.
"Having my husband burn alive in a building brought me no joy," she said. "Watching it unfold on national TV and .seeing it repeated endlessly was beyond what I could describe. Telling my children they would never see their father again was not fun. And we had no plans to divorce."
When Lauer grilled Coulter about the book, she yelled at him so harshly that gasps echoed through Rockefeller Center - and then she made a wisecrack about CBS-bound former host Katie Couric.
"If you lose a husband, you no longer have the right to have a political point of view?" Lauer asked.
As the exchange grew tense, Coulter said, "Look, you're getting testy with me."
She later added: "Hey, where's Katie? Did she leave or something?"
Last night, Coulter didn't back down from bashing the 9/11 widows. "These women got paid. They ought to take their money and shut up about it," Coulter said on MSNBC's "The Situation with Tucker Carlson."
Coulter made headlines in the past when she called for blowing up The New York Times Building, advocated forcing Muslims to become Christians and wrote an entire book that said every American liberal is guilty of treason.
Her controversial writings have made her a best-selling .author and syndicated columnist and put her on the cover of Time magazine. She's made big bucks in the process, buying a $1.5 million condo on the upper East Side.
Politicians of both parties denounced Coulter's comments.
"It's totally inhumane to be saying things like this about people who went through such agony," said Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.).
"It seems that she's just full of anger and hate," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan), who held a news conference yesterday with relatives of 9/11 victims on the country's failure to improve security.
"Like an insecure child, it's always been clear that Ann Coulter is prepared to do anything to get attention," added Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn, Queens). "This is a new low."

They Jersey girls are a media creation because they share their left wing views. And only for this reason.
Bwahahaha. I just saw a replay of Ann on with Matt Lauer. She gives not an inch, and she is spot on about this coven, by the way.
I should get my copy in the mail any day now!
I loved her on Fox this morning. ED asked if she said these things for sensationalist reasons? In response, Ann said "I said these things when I was looking for a refrigerator box to live in (more or less) and I don't need any more money, now!"
"I'd like her to meet my daughter and tell her how anyone could enjoy their father's death," said Kristen Breitweiser, one of four widows
Notice how Kristen changes "husband" to "father" here, thus shifting the focus from the adults to the children. That is SO liberal!
Edie Hill interviewed her on FnF's this morning. You could tell that she was threatened by Ann, due to the fact that Ann is smarter, prettier, more Conservative, and the fact that Ann was attacking the anti-American, POS, 9/11 Commission's "Useful Idiots" for their subversion in the name of their dead family members. Edie has far too much empathy for those types, and it shown on FnF's this morning... bigtime.
Ann was magnificent, and Brian Kilmeade was in total agreement with her, IMHO.
LLS
Ann is the best person to carry this fight. A man would not have the standing.

She is awesome, just awesome.
That's gonna leave some marks.
Was she actually holding the democratic talking points while she was saying this?
Kristen's happy now. She gets to be in the news again.
Imus showed a clip of her handing Matt "Freedom Fighter" Laurer his ass to him. She's awesome - very thick skinned and Matt Laurer is simply just a punk Liberal losing face to someone intellectually his superior. Imus called her a 'bony bi*ch' but later acknowledged "she does have a point."
I do think her comments are harsh. However, I have to agree with the poster who stated the media's double standard re: Murtha.
"She's made big bucks in the process, buying a $1.5 million condo on the upper East Side."
Wow, what would that be all of 800Sqft? 1.5M condo in NYC is in the gheto I am sure.
These women that Ann Coulter so aptly and correctly refers to are mostly, if not all, American Jews. If they got their political wishes, they would be the first raped, abused and then beheaded by the Muslim terrorists that killed their husbands. And....all of this abetted and actively aided by the current Democrat "traitor/treason" Party, whom these morons support. Go figure what idiots these women are!!! Don't let up Ann Coulter, these women and the Democrat Party they support are nothing but pure scum and vermin!!! End of story!!!
Niles? Who names their kid Niles?
I saw a replay of Ann's interview with Matt Lauer on "Today," she kicked his weenie butt. I wish Katie was still there, it would have been a great catfight.
Don't forget Peace Mother Sheehan, although the MSM finally did have enough of her antics.
Bwahahaha.See also, from:
I just saw a replay of Ann on [the "Today" show, yesterday] with Matt Lauer.She gives not an inch, and she is spot on about this coven, by the way.

If the shoe fits...
The "9/11" widows lost their privacy when they entered the political arena to bash Bush and to laud John ("I served in Viet-Nam") Kerry. Right on Anne!!
She didn't say that your daughter was a shill Kristen... She said that you were.
Book Review: Coulter Attacks the Cult of Liberalism
Human Events ^ | June 5, 2006 | Lisa De Pasquale
Posted on 06/05/2006 6:46:45 AM PDT by boryeulb
In "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," HUMAN EVENTS legal affairs correspondent Ann Coulter lays out one of the most original and perceptive philosophies on the cult of liberalism.
She states, "Under the guise of not favoring religion, liberals favor one cosmology over another and demand total indoctrination into theirs. The state religion of liberalism demands obeisance (to the National Organization for Women), tithing (to teachers' unions), reverence (for abortion), and formulaic imprecations ('Bush lied, kids died!'' 'Keep your laws off my body!' 'Arms for hostages!'). Everyone is taxed to support indoctrination into the state religion through public schools where innocent children are taught a specific belief system, rather than, say, math."
Get Yours FREE!
For years liberals have relied on a strategy of faking out the American public in order to win elections. Instead of accurately articulating their beliefs and engaging in an honest debate, they scour the nation for the perfect patsy. A hysterical mother who is willing to go on national television and call the President a "furor" and "evil maniac" is akin to seeing the stigmata. Liberals' ecstasy over Cindy Sheehan, Max Cleland, and the widows who made a spectacle of themselves in the midst of the 9/11 Commission epitomizes their secret weapon for winning back America -- a doctrine of infallibility in which victory goes to the most hysterical.
As Coulter writes:
Finally, the Democrats hit on an ingenious strategy: They would choose only messengers whom we're not allowed to reply to. That’s why all Democratic spokesmen these days are sobbing, hysterical women. You can't respond to them because that would be questioning the authenticity of their suffering. Liberals haven't changed the message, just the messenger. All the most prominent liberal spokesmen are people with "absolute moral authority" -- Democrats with a dead husband, a dead child, a wife who works at the CIA, a war record, terminal illness, or as a last resort, being on a first-name basis with Nelson Mandela.
Like Oprah during Sweeps Week, liberals have come to rely exclusively on people with sad stories...CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Welcome to FR. What's your DU screen name?
Welcome to FR. You may want to check out how some of your friends over at DU name-call anyone who just may be conservative, be they Dem or Rep.
Does the name Joe Lieberman come to mind.
You will not be around long.
They can't handle the truth can they?
Ann scored a direct hit, judging by the responses.
Your stay here will be short. There's Ozone and Viking Kitties in your immediate future.
ZOT!!
There is no conservative man on TV or Radio that would stand and fight for what they believe in like Ann Coulter does. All the TV conservatives will cower at the first sign of pressure and Rush hides in his little studio refusing to take on anyone face-to-face and Hannity is a self-absorbed little blowhard who will only face known minor league idiots in order to prop himself up.
