NJ assemblywomen call for boycott of new Coulter book

Exactly. Invade them, convert them, and kill their leaders.

Sorry, to me, that is funny. BECAUSE is it so absurd.

[papertyger]

She had no reason to speculate about the status of their marriages or what their dead husbands might or might not have done when she could simply have taken them to task over their statements to the 9/11 commission.

Yes, she did. She's playing a game you obviously have NO insight into. You really need to read Rachel Simmons "Odd Girl Out."

[sinkspur]

Fine...then quit calling her Bones.

Would you prefer "Harpy"? Coulter calls the Jersey Girls harpies, so she must think it's an acceptable term.

Harpy it is.

so why make petty little high school comments regarding her body mass?

If Harpy was married, I'd speculate on the state of her marriage, since she thinks that's OK to do. But, alas, she can't seem to get a man on a bet.

Is it worse to comment on someone's looks, or to put words into the mouth of a widow's dead husband?

[papertyger]

I'm just asking how you know why Ann isn't married, that's all.

Isn't that obvious? Ann is a nun ;o)

[sinkspur]

I'm just asking how you know why Ann isn't married, that's all.

For the same reason Limbaugh's not married: ego.

[republicofdavis]

"Can't see much difference between what they said and what Zarqawi said."

What if you throw in Zarqawi's actions as well? I mean, isn't there a little difference? Would you advocate dropping a couple of 500 pounders on the Girls as well, since they're so evil?

And just to save everybody the trouble, I disagree with every political opinion the Girls have ever expressed, I think they should be subjected to (appropriate) political criticism and if I was in their presence I would roundly boo them. However, I don't think they are in the league of evilness with Zarqawi and I don't think they should be killed.

[sinkspur]

Coulter certainly does not despise GWB.

He's just a drunk to her. At least, that's what she accused him of.

[txrangerette]

Sink, of course she's attacking the women. But she's not attacking their marriages. She's using rhetorical devices to force the dumbed down masses to THINK about these women as being similar to a Cindy Sheehan type.

We knew what Casey Sheehan stood for and that Cindy was trampling on all he stood for, using his sacrifice in Iraq to do so. For all we know, Ann points out, these women may be doing that to husbands that would scream at them to shut up and go away if they could. But they can't cause they're dead. So Ann just wants people to ask themselves some pointed questions about whether these women ought to be so sainted and so credible and so unassailable just because their husbands were terror victims and they decided to trash Bush.

But of course, most of all, as pissant acknowledges, she uses her rhetoric to sell her book.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I'm not asking your beliefs about why she's not married, I'm asking how you know. You seem to have personal knowledge of her.

You seem to be engaging in the same activity you criticize her for doing.

[pissant]

Works in China....kinda.

[sinkspur]

You really need to read Rachel Simmons "Odd Girl Out."

No thanks.

[republicofdavis]

"Exactly. Invade them, convert them, and kill their leaders.

Sorry, to me, that is funny. BECAUSE is it so absurd."

No need to be sorry. I thought it was funny as well, and provocative, but it was on point because it was part of a real discussion people were having: what are we going to do about this part of the world that is so dangerous and so full of madness.

This, I just don't get, for reasons previously expressed.

[pissant]

They are famous for their Biker chicks.

[tongue-tied]

Okay that's it...you're a poopy butt!

LOL...c'mon! Did you read her quote? She said "Maybe they wanted to..."

I am sorry, I realize what you are saying, but instead of making points and sticking to that, you are still picking on HER. Her looks, now she's a harpy, made some comments further up thread about her sexuality...and now saying she couldn't get a man on a bet.

Do you have very thick glasses, held together with medical tape from a broken frame "incident"? Do you wear a pocket protector? Do you have severe acne and are only in your teens?

Because that is how you are coming across to me.

[Jameison]

"But, alas, she can't seem to get a man on a bet"

That best you can do?
Sounds pretty lame to me.
When Ann insults you, you REALLY feel insulted, like how she hit liberals in the solar plexus yesterday and youall have been whining and screaming all day today.

And your reply to that is the tired, old "she can't get a man on a bet" whine ,that inadequate men usually throw at women they feel inferior to?
Pathetic!
And laughable.

[pissant]

I would love to see some GOPer suggest boycotting Algore's movie, just to see the MSM spring to Algore's defense.

[pissant]

That was in a movie, wasn't it?

[pissant]

The publisher is doing cartwheels right now.

[sinkspur]

So Ann just wants people to ask themselves some pointed questions about whether these women ought to be so sainted and so credible and so unassailable just because their husbands were terror victims and they decided to trash Bush.

And by attacking their marriages and their dead husbands she is accomplishing the exact opposite of what you say she intends. People who dislike them will still dislike them, those who like them will like them more, and those who were on the fence will now like them because of Coulter's meanness.

You're right about Coulter using her rhetoric to sell her book, which is just about the only thing she cares about in life.

[pissant]

She loves GW. Ask her.
