Ann Coulter Banned in New Jersey?
Two New Jersey Democrats are pushing to have Ann Coulter's new book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," banned from all bookstores in their state because she criticized four 9/11 widows known as "the Jersey Girls."
In a joint press release issued Friday, New Jersey Assemblywomen Joan Quigley and Linda Stender say they want New Jersey retailers to "ban the sale of [Coulter's] book throughout the state."
"Ann Coulter's criticism of 9-11 widows, whose only desire since the attacks have been to repair their shattered lives and protect other families from the horrors they have experienced, is motivated purely by petty greed and hate," the two Democrats complained.
"Coulter's vicious characterizations and remarks are motivated by greed and her desire to sell books . . . She is a leech trying to turn a profit off perverting the suffering of others."
Quigley and Stender conclude:
"No one in New Jersey should buy this book and allow Ann Coulter to profit from her hate-mongering. We are asking New Jersey retailers statewide to stand with us and express their outrage by refusing to carry or sell copies of Coulter's book. Her hate-filled attacks on our 9-11 widows has no place on New Jersey bookshelves."

Excellent point! Ann's publicists should quickly announce that "The Government wants to ban Ann Coulter's book."
Now there's an intelligent response. You didn't make a slippery slope argument because you didn't make one.
LOL!
BTW, I don't think you understand the 1st amendment.
There is a respectful way to ask that question. Ask nicely and I might.
As long as the left gets to call what is and isn't "hate speech". These ladies were just as hateful in their speech. Personally, I would think that the people of New Jersey would want their elected officials to be above this type of verbal cat fighting.
The only thing clear here is that your arguments went up in smoke.
The thing is..she isnt the first tosay this about the Jersy girls
Glenn Beck said the same thing around the time of the election. He wasnt as blunt, but he did say it.
Go Ann...Keep up the good work.
You can "feel" them squirming until they can figure out a way to support the first half of the book while burning the second, can't ya?
And that's when we get the flying monkeys.
Ms. Coulter's comments are not made more tasteful by comparing them to Mr. Churchill's "little Eichmanns" comment. Both are reprehensible - but both are protected political speech. Significantly, however, Mr. Churchill's and Ms. Coulter's comments drove more people away than they convinced.
Once again you prove her point! The Jersey Girls can say anything they want and no one can challenge them because of their victim status.
Government officials have every right of free speech to ask private citizens to boycott things.
Private citizens have every right to vote out politicians who advocate bad boycotts.
It couldn't be more clear than that. (But not to you).
They were priceless. Not tasteless.
Thanks for the best laugh I've had today...I needed that.
let's hope that happens next election cycle.
Government officials also have the power to punish private citizens who don't do what they are "asked." It couldn't be more clear than that. (But not to you).
Jeff - PERFECT! Needs to be said one more time.....
"If you read carefully what Coulter is saying, she uses that example as this very type of thing, the liberals trotting out emotionally charged and distraught individuals to procaim their perverted version of events in the hopes that no on will assail their statements becuase of their "emotional" situation".
No, they don't.
Was in a rush...sorry.
BTTT
Sorry for the earlier Coltercasm, Ann I am not!
