Take a look at the cover of The New York Daily News today, huge publicity. Ann Coulter's publisher is dancing down the street. The controversy is all about Ann writing that four 9/11 widows are liberal pawns and are craven.
Says Coulter, "these broads are millionaires lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities... I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."
Now many conservatives have joined liberals in condemning Coulter's words, but not all. On "The Radio Factor," some callers supported Ann. Talking Points believes most Americans reject that kind of vitriol because it is mean and counterproductive.
The question then becomes, why does Ann Coulter do it? No doubt the publicity will sell her some books, but she is already well off and famous.
No doubt the widows have become liberal activists. They replied to Ms. Coulter today on a far left blog. But as Americans, they have a right to take any political position they want. No doubt some far-left pundits have said far worse things than Ann Coulter will ever say and the mainstream media often celebrates them. But a no-spin rule is that you don't justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior.

Bill can (wish he could) kiss her a$$.
STFU Bill. You're wrong. Whiner .....
Ann vs. Hillary was much better.
LOL!
My money is on Ann.
God I hate O'Reilly.
Dog Gone lives by a simple rule which has probably limited his climb up the corporate ladder:
It may be harsh. It may be brutal. But if it's true, you can say it.
O'Reilly is becoming as unwatchable as Shep and Greta. .

I just saw her on Lou Dobbs this evening. She did not give an inch. Lou was trying to compare her to Michael Moore. She would have none of that. She said maybe Mark Twain of the Rep. party though, ha. Really didnt have an opinion on Ann until this book. I think she might be my new hero. This girl has balls.
"Nice purse fight." LOL!
What a great idea for a book. But it took the girl with hutsfa to do it. Now, go eat something Ann.
It's funny watching conservative pundits defend a liberal propaganda tool.
Has anyone disagreed with what she said? All I've heard is the what the O'Blather's are saying, she shouldn't have said anything if she couldn't say something nice. Too bad that we don't have enough public figures who are willing to point out the frauds in our society.
Who do they have???? Al Franken? Al Gore? Joe Biden?
I might not have used those precise words.
But they were precise words, and she is right.
Hey Bill. News flash for ya......She's right.
Playground epithets. "What a many she is."
She is also correct. Just like people don't dare point out that prior to 9/11 the WTC towers were considered to be ugly eyesores (not by me, but by many, especially people in the big building biz).
