NJ assemblywomen call for boycott of new Coulter book

I don't think that's actually a boycott. I think a boycott would be to refuse to buy a broad range of products to protest a producer's involvement. Boycotting a single product is more like a "refusal to buy."

Ann has no way of knowing if those things she said about the women and their husbands is true.

What! Ann Coulter is an opinion columnist? Thanks for pointing that out - none of us had the slightest idea!

[Peach]

That's very nice, wideawake, but doesn't even come close to answering what part of my post wasn't placed in context.

Ann wrote what she wrote. I explained why I thought it was inappropriate. What other context should there be?

What's her context for writing what she wrote? That she doesn't like the Jersey Girl's ridiculous preening for the media? She has no way of knowing whether the things she said about their husbands being ready to divorce them is true.

Nice to know you'll stand up for someone on our side telling lies. As long as it's someone on our side, right?

"Coulter's vicious characterizations and remarks are motivated by greed and her desire to sell books. By making these claims, she proved herself worse than those she is attempting to vilify - she is a leach trying to turn a profit off perverting the suffering of others," the two assemblywomen said in a statement.

would you call that an adhomimum personal attack?

So now you want to get into the gutter with the left and hurt children? No thanks.

Hurt the children? They WILLINGLY climbed up on their husbands caskets to use them as a soapbox the same as Cindy Sheehan did. These women should have thought of their children before they chose to be leftisit activists. And they certainly don't care if what they say hurts the children of anyone. Evidently including theirs. They thought they could spew anything and then hide behind their "widow" tag. The same as the "bereaved Mom". Using the death of a family member may be convenient but it's also tacky. And classless.

I think so. After a million hardcovers are already sold.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Was the foreword to the book written by Karl Rove?

[pissant]

I wonder what Quigley and Stender look like.

[pissant]

Unless their ears are offended.

[JFC]

I call for BOYCOTT OF DIXIE CHICKS.

[Kenny Bunkport]

or for that matter Coulter being a desparate transvestite.

I hadn't heard this one. LOL

I've heard that she lives on coffee and cigarettes, which I tend to believe.

[pissant]

I think this should spread accross the country. LOL

[Peach]

ROFL. Interesting coming from someone who doesn't ping the freeper he is talking about and stands for an author who likely is lying, and knows she's lying when she says the husbands were ready to divorce the Jersey Girls.

[Peach]

Hugh Hewitt called the comments disgusting and it's still on his web site.

[pissant]

Yep, it sure does. Makes for a lousy movie though.

:)

[N. Theknow]

I detest the Jersey Girls and everything they stand for, but they have children

Which makes the actions of their Mothers in the Bush Delirium Syndrome soap opera even more contemptible.

[pissant]

No, mainly the elected crooks.

[roses of sharon]

The Jersey girls have been smearing the President as a murderer, slandering the US and our war effort for 4 years, they can dish it out for sure, so I'm sure they can take it!

As can Coulter.

Lectures by the sniveling most likely fall on Coulter's deaf ears.

Thank god.
