9/11 happened under Bush's incompetent watch, we've wasted three years and thousands of lives in Iraq while bin Laden is still a free man. Anyone who lost a loved one on 9/11 has a right to be pissed and to speak out. I'd be furious.

that wasn't her point.. actually that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with her point.

See this is where Ann hurts herself a lot.. she has some REALLY great points but they are often overshadowed by the outlandish things that she says.. and people pay so much attention to that, that they overlook the main point.

Go back and watch again.. its really hard to miss.

Wasn't she talking about 9/11 widows speaking out against Bush during the last campaign?

Yes.. but the point is not they don't have a RIGHT to speak out that is all fine and dandy.. the point that she is trying to make is that democrats (mostly it is the democrats) are constantly calling on people LIKE these widows and Cindy Sheehan to speak out.. and then no one can respond to them because they would be somehow questioning their grief as authentic.. sort of this "well i have gone through grief and now im an expert on the subject and you can't respond to me because that would be mean and heartless"

Why did these widows have to make the point? Why not Bill Clinton, like she pointed out, someone that can be responded to.

And I'm not taking sides here.. let us remember that I'm no longer Republican and I'm not a Democrat.. I just think it is an interesting point.

Brandon, I cant believe you are still defending/supporting Coulter. The woman is a freak

And your assertion that Dems USE people like these women is laughable especially since it wasnt that long ago that Jeb Bush and Monkey boy and the Republican Senate/House members were so involved in the Terri Schiavo affair!

What does she say about public school teachers? (I just resigned as a public high school teacher and I've gotten a job teaching at a university.) Do I have yet another reason to hate that bitch who just loves to talk about crap she knows nothing about? As if I need any more.

My GAWD you can be so dim at times. Her point is, and please pay attention, to sell her book through sensationalist talk. Here, she plays the liberals are using these people as some sort of shields that cannot be attacked because of their venerated status. While I agree to some degree that is what is going on. These women are far from victims, they are advocates in their own right and are well aware of what they are doing. I also agree with her that these women's actions in that regard are subject to public scrutinty and legitimate debate. However, she does not do that. Instead, she takes that logical point and sells it to her base by them going WAY over the line by calling these widows of 9/11 victims harpies who she says husbands probably were going to divorce them That is just fukcing sick and it shows she is no legitimate journalist, commentator, etc.

I also find it ironic and mostly pathetic that she has used this same shield philosophy when she noted that anyone who spoke out against the war or W's intentions there was un American or some crap like that. Why is it okay for her to use the patriot card as this same sort of shield to defend an unnecessary war W lied to get in - but not in the case she is bitching about.

Thus, the idiotic nature of the sow known as Ann Coulter.

With all due respect, that both sides do it is pretty awful

But, this practice has been around since there was politics. So be it I say.

Yet, she assails anyone who spoke out against W. Granted W is a political figure, but I assert so are these women and she incorrectly does no classify them as such.

I mean this from a woman who purposefully lambasted as unpatriotic for daring to voice an opinion against the non union portion of the Patriot Act a true American hero who lost his limbs in Nam. Granted, Cleland did not lose the limbs on the actual battlefield, but that hardly is the point when Cleland was there and W, Cheney, etc. never went at all. I mean whose the fukcing coward there. Yet, ole Annie C. will never say that, though it is the truth. I mean W was working on a Senator's campaign (at least allegedly because no one actually remembers he was there) and Cheney actually said he had better things to do, yet he sends our kids into harm's way

OMG - Kathie G. when she said, what is Annie C. doing wearing a cocktail dress at 7:00 in the moring - is she just getting home from a party - SSSCCCCHHHWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWIIINGGGG

Also, Annie C.'s BS statement that no one is allowed to respond to these "broads" who are merely millionaires somehow getting enjoyment out of their husbands' deaths See, this is why she is not legitimate. I think no one thinks these womens' political points of view are not allowed to be commented upon in public. However, Annie C. clearly crosses the the line with her statements. I mean what does getting insurance money have to do with your First Amendment rights to free speech? I suggest it has nothing to do with it.

Also, did you catch her spin when she responded to Matt's statement that these women also attacked the Clinton Administration - Anne the sow responded with the non-sequitor that they cut a commercial three or so years later for Kerry, who to my knowledge was not part of the Clinton Administration What a sow.
