Local (Long Island) Dems have words of their own for Coulter

House Democrats from Long Island and New York City on Friday joined the chorus of critics slamming Ann Coulter.

The lawmakers signed a letter drafted by Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) demanding that the conservative commentator apologize for saying in her new book that widows of some 9/11 victims are "enjoying" their husbands' deaths. The book refers to the four New Jersey women as "the witches of East Brunswick."

"Their personal loss should never be minimized, especially in such a cold and callous way as you attack these victims in your book," Israel wrote.

No Republicans had signed the letter, even though Israel invited all members of Congress from the tristate area to do so.

Bwahahaha!

House Dims? Screw them. They probably focus-grouped their response.

:-):-);-).....'Newsday'.....the MSM gives the democrats a myriad of print so they can preach to the converted, but that's about all the Democrats do; preach to the converted...

[LeoWindhorse]

pitiful Dem-wits , Ann is 100% right on in all she says
and if they had any decency at all they would acknowledge that what she says is right and crawl back in the slimy little holes they issued forth from.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Cool, another Coulter thread.

How long before the apologists, bashers, and trolls (oh my!) show up to slam her.

[jwalburg]

It's because she is right that they froth at the mouth.

Sick 'em, Ann!

[uptoolate]

Put me down for $20.00 on post #20.

If the Jersey Girls liked Bush instead, these same dems would say they were rightwing fanatics.

My wife bought a copy of Coulter's for me and I've gone through a couple of hours on a flight to Dallas. While I haven't finished it (and I probably won't because it's useless, aimless and irrational trash), her thesis is manifestly clear. It's the same relentless diatribe intended to satisfy her constituency on the far right that attributes every evil and public detriment to the evil left and every public benefit to the Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. clones who worship their every hyperbole, exaggeration and misinformation. Advocacy based on independence of thought and critical analysis is the highest form of indvidual participation in public affairs. Fervent adherence to ideology simply because it: (1) is the group think and clan's ideologically fervent position irrespective of its true public value, and (2)--and probably more important-- it contradicts and rejects even the slightest validity to the position of those they oppose. It's meaningless and empty Orwellian lock-step.

Coulter is an outrageous and intellectually vacant demagogue. She fits the axiom that even though an empty suit can have a prestigious designer label, be handmade and have a huge price tag from a classy store, it's still an empty suit. That perfectly describes Ann Coulter.

[jwalburg]

You lose. It's #9.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

You lost your bet.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

You're just upset because Coulter doesn't fight within the template the Left has designed for conservatives while remaining exempt of those very same rules.

[DJ Taylor]

Don't worry, Ann can take care of herself.

[HarleyLady27]

Yeah right....after all the crap that comes out of their mouths.....

Keep it up Ann, we are behind you, and love what you say....

All the L.I. dems are idiots anyway, they show the way to act like an idiot....

[uptoolate]

Man. I was feeling good too. I set my hopes high. Oh well. Leave it to the libs to cost me more money!

All right, $20.00 set aside for the next Freepathon.

[DesertSapper]

"Coulter is an outrageous and intellectually vacant demagogue."

Ann's writings hit a bit too close to home for ya?

I don't agree with Ann's angle on many issues but she isn't too far off in blaming most of our screwed-up society on the advancement of leftist ideals. It doesn't matter whether you or I like her or not - she's mostly correct.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Notice how the poster resorts to the same strawman & ad-hominem arguments that the Left themselves use.

[fifthestate]

If anything, Ann is too restrained.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Watta bunch of hooie, middie.

Your moniker "middie" suggests a middle position. Let me ask you a question. Is the number 5 closer to zero or to 10?

[TET1968]

Newsweek, what a joke. They still padding their subscription numbers?
