I will just say, as I've said on another thread, that I don't care whether she's over the top or not. What I care about is that this issue has drowned out the main premises of her book. She had a real opportunity to reach a vast audience and make her case about her thesis. I'm sure that the Jersey Girls issue is a tiny part of her argument but it's getting all the attention and most likely turning off some who might have been interested in her arguments.

What if everybody was arguing about her position that abortion is the liberal sacrement? Wouldn't that be a more effective use of her time and the country's attention. Instead, she gave her opponents an opportunity to distract her from her main topic.

She'll get plenty of press--and the LameStream Media would NEVER have given her a fair shake on the book anyway...you should know the LSM focuses on some minute aspect of ANY conservative position/statement/idea and blow it way out of proportion.

If Ann hadn't said something about the Jersey Girls, the LSM would have focused on some other out of context phrase or statement.

Blame the pathetic coverage, not Ann.

Which was of course her opponents plan. Simply find the most offensive statement made, and focus on that. Thus they ensure that no one (who wouldn't already be interested in the book or agree with her basic premise) will remember anything except that part and thus "kill" her book sales.

My guess is that it is not working.
