Doubting Coulter -- At First (Press release politics not best venue for discussing personal loss)

The Coulter comments though extreme are constructive. They have exposed a method of the left. You can see the phony shock on their faces at Coulters comments. For it is not shock at Coulters "coldheart". They are angry that they have been exposed and the fear many had to ever criticize the politics of those widows is now gone.

If a modern liberals angry, your doing something right.

Coulter took one for the team. Not many would do that.

[GOP Poet]

I can just see them saying inside, "Don't attack me. My husband died!" I heard their statment on the tv today and I thought it confirmed exactly the point Ann was making. It was a perfect example and reinforcement. LOL!

[Slings and Arrows]

To inspect the details of death, reveal them, announce them, is often the province of the propagandist or social activist. It's the gun control advocate who announces at the town meeting, "My son's brains were splattered all over me." The seatbelt champion showing slides of bodies in pieces. The reporter who will pick over every drop of blood spilled at Haditha.

It was the Paul Wellstone funeral.

The point of victimhood politics is to remove a topic from debate. The left knows they can't win by saying "do what I want because it is the best thing to do," so they say "do what I want or you will cause these people more pain." It's the same old demonizing of one's opponents with a thin sugar-coating.

The whole deal here is this......

If you want to see the fangs of the left, confront them with the truth, and they will show their fangs.

The left can get away with obvious lies by Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 911 or University Professors like Ward Churchill poisoning the young minds in Colorado.... But let Ann Coulter peel back a few layers of the skin of the onion they call cover and we call the MSM, and the screams begin.

IMHO Ann Coulter nailed the left like they haven't been nailed in quite a long time

[LeoWindhorse]

Ann Coulter is our lady warrior saint ! Rip um up Ann ...no mercy !

[truemiester]

Ann is so up front that what she says and does shocks so many who end up seeing the light. Usually after a few gasps and shocked looks.

After a while she is looked upon as the balliest person in the room!

"four women who lost husbands at 9/11, were "enjoying" their husbands' deaths?"

Cindy Sheehan was an average nobody.

Then her brave son paid the ultimate sacrifice for our security and since then Cindy Sheehan...

ENJOYS stalking Bush and Rumsfeld at their private homes.

ENJOYS being the celebrated darling of the Left.

ENJOYS cameras following her on trips all around the world.

ENJOYS meeting with famous thugs such as Chavez.

ENJOYS sitting with Larry King Alive.

ENJOYS the Left media report on her every appearance and statement.

ENJOYS blogging.

ENJOYS writing a book.

ENJOYS speculation that she will run for office.

ENJOYS trying to pin blame on Republicans while excusing terrorists.

ENJOYS etc, etc, etc...

From the Cindy Sheehan example we can easily see that it is entirely possible that people will go on to ENJOY notoriety after they have lost a loved one. That is a reality of life and we need people like Coulter to point that out to us, otherwise the culprits get a free ride.

The Left constantly make the absolute worst accusations under the sun about President Bush i.e.:

Ted (The Slob) Kennedy: "George Bush concocted this war down in Crawford Texas for his own political gain".

Where was the outrage through the media about that stinker? There was none! Yet Coulrter hit the nail on the head and all of a sudden there is a huge blah-blah-blah about it.

The Left is constantly trying to define the debate rules of society where they get to make the worst accusations ever and people on the Right are never to be allowed to speak the simple common sense obvious truth on a matter.

I say to heck with that idea-
Rock On Coulter!
Right On!
Right On!
Right On!

This is so incredibly insightful, I can't believe it. My family, almost all of us, spent MONTHS in therapy after my wonderful, beloved brother-in-law was......murdered. Even now, YEARS later, I still have so much pain, and dread, it stabs me in the gut, when I finally am FORCED to use the word. And it is true, when I reflect on it, of every other family member we've lost in a painful or lingering way.

I, too, cannot even imagine how a person, of any sensibility, could so coldly describe, in Technicolor, the death of a loved one. It's like telling people your loved one was one of those who jumped from the WCT and died when they hit the pavement below! Normal minds just don't process that way.

Bump

[singfreedom]

Should read: "WTC". Sorry, I'm still rattled.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Condolences.

Psalm 116:15 -- Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

Ann just has the guts to say what alot of us are thinking.

[Dianna]

I, too, cannot even imagine how a person, of any sensibility, could so coldly describe, in Technicolor, the death of a loved one.

But that is the whole point! Once she says, "My husband BURNED to death", you are supposed to shut up. That is why they say it. It is a reminder of how she has suffered and it isn't polite to challenge suffering people with hard questions.

I haven't read Ann's book yet nor did I read the Jersey Girls' full statement. But it sounds like Ann wrote about them personally instead of refuting their ridiculous attacks on W. But instead of responding back to her, they renewed their attacks on W, and then threw in the burning comment to, again, shut everyone up. Typical.

The Coultergeist haunts Dhimmicrat nightmares.

[at bay]

balliest person in the room!

ballsiest, no? Least that's what my urologist says.

[Dianna]

I am sorry for your loss. I hope there was, at least, someone caught and prosecuted.

[dsc]

The thing to remember is that it isn't really possible to criticize leftists strongly enough, or to be mean enough to them.

Whatever Coulter said, they deserve worse.

[GOPJ]

One gets the sense that Breitweiser & Co. decided to rachet up the imagery to score political points.

Breitweiser's held herself out as a public person - way beyond a grieving widow -- she's put herself in the public place. A place where an assumption is made that if she can dish it out she can also take it.

[GOPJ]

Look, these women have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at Bush - and when the smallest thing is said back to them they hide behind their "widow" status. If they can dish it out, they can take it.

Great piece, thanks for the link. BTW it is by Dorothy Rabinowitz, not Claudia Rosett.
