some of the widows DO act like their husbands deaths elevated them to sainthood...

I've always had a problem with the fact that we made those people not killed MILLIONAIRES....why should tragedy make anyone a millionaire....

when I donated to the differant funds...Red Cross...NYPD and NYFD etc....my intention was to help those who were really finacially strapped.....

my intention was never to make any of them rich beyond their dreams...

I agree. Coulter has a good point that the Jersey Girls should not be exempt from criticism when they try to use their status for political purposes and for advocacy of a debatable point of view, but unfortunately she undermines the point by going too far with the ad hominem stuff.

I'm going along with this boycott.

I promise not to buy my copy in New Jersey.

in what context did she actually 'state' the stuff?

Shhh!

Placing what she actually said in its context is precisely what Breitweiser, these assemblywomen, Hewitt and Peach do not want you to do.

First, like any other call to not read or watch something because it is offensive - this should help Ann's sales in NJ.

Second, liberals are the world's largest hippocrits. They spend their whole lives pressing for the government to regulate everything and then cry "dangerous governmnent intrusion" when the FCC wants to ban trash from TV. They always complain about censorship and meanspiritedness but their always the first to want to stop speech they disagree with and they are always disagreeable in doing so.

#1. It's considered freeper etiquette to ping the freeper you are mentioning in your post.

#2. I'm delighted that right thinking conservatives like Laura Ingraham and Hugh Hewitt have condemned Ann's remarks.

#3. Which part of what she wrote about the women being glad their husbands were dead or that their husbands were about to divorce them do you think I did not place in context?

Agreed. Ann often writes with a blunt instrument. Generally, I like her caustic wit, but she should have thought-through this comment a bit more.

And the sad thing is, her comment will likely win the Jersey Girls another round of air-time on "Hardball."

Sorry, but i don't find the remarks disgusting. I find them to be truthful. It's about time Conservatives take a stance on truth and stop trying to appease everyone in fear of hurting someones feelings. The left has no problem bashing Christians and Republicans and we are suppose to shut-up and take. I for one am proud of Ann's comment because it hits the nail on the head.

"I've never seen people enjoying [the fruits of] their husbands' deaths so much."

Too bad she didn't include your "the fruits of}. Not a word is being said about anything else in the book. The left will not read it, only argue about this over the top statement. The right will read it...preaching to the choir.

Can you read? A freeper thinks because the left attacks the children of our military that what Ann wrote is acceptable.

And I'll wait while you try to answer #3 in my question to you above.

A perfect example of meanspirited, disrespect is that jerk (I have no clue what his name is) who bashed the President at the White House correspondents dinner.

I was glad to read that Laura Ingraham and Hugh Hewitt have called Coulter's remarks disgusting, because they were and should be condemned by every right thinking person. Let's not sink to the low of the leftists.

O'Reilly had her stutterin' and stammerin' today as he suggested that she might have used some more temperate language. She accused him of "insulting" her when he suggested that she decided to go after the Jersey Girls to sell books.

The irony was delicious: Coulter accusing someone of insults. Her vitriol got the best of her with this latest attack, and she has truly crossed a line that, while she will sell lots of books in the short term, will cause her to be viewed as in the same fringe as Michael Weiner.

"Would prefer not to be on her s**t list."

Well Hillary is now on it. Bottom line is, the Jersey Girls wanted to play and not be held accountable for their actions. Now that they are being held accountable, they want to take their ball and go home.

Ann hit the nail on the head when she said that the husbands were about to divorce their wives? She has no way of knowing this.

If ya'll want to get into the gutter with the left, have at it.

Okay, I guess that I will have to buy her book right now at amazon.com instead of waiting for my birthday!
