"Coulter's sickening words were roundly condemned all round by other relatives of 911 victims."

Like this relative?

9/11 Widow: Jersey Girls Are “The Rock Stars Of Grief”

Ms Burlingame says: "I first felt the need to speak out when ‘The Families of September 11′ group protested against the use of images of Ground Zero in Bush campaign advertisements. The idea that relatives of victims ‘ownÂ’ September 11 and its images, and can give or withhold permission to use them, is frankly ridiculous.

"People held back from criticising the relatives because of who they were. But whatÂ’s happening is that this prominent group of activists have become the rock stars of grief in this country. I think people are getting sick of them because they are being so demanding. I can say it because IÂ’m a relative too."

Dear Mr. Hill,

Thank you for your timely post, and the link. (i would recommend it to all)

This woman, Debra Burlingame, makes more sense, calmly, clearly, and rationally, than I hear coming from ANY on our so-called "left".

She is quoted at the end as saying, "I would like to act as a reminder to people of where we should focus our energy: that is on the people who are trying to hurt us. We need to concentrate on defeating them, not on beating up on each other. I know that is what my brother, Chic, would be thinking."

Ms. Burlingame, I could kiss your feet...
