My first rection to Ann's words were shock and outrage as well. But then on closer examination, it is one of those statements that sounds horrible taken out of context, but is reasonable in the larger discussion.
I hadn't followed the 911 group of 4 like I have Cindy Sheehan. I find Sheehan's behavior despicable and a dishonor to her late son.
So Ann wasn't attacking all of the victim's of 911, just those that are using their victim status to push a defeatist political agenda. And the larger point is that these "human shields" are the foundation of the left's strategy to win symapathy for their defeatist position.
Ann has challenged the sanctity of the victim propogandist. Letterman asks "How can anyone question Cindy Sheehan?" Very easily, when her statements are examined. Zarqwi was no freedom fighter despite what Sheehan says, and her and any other person's defeatist drivel can and should be attacked.
You were right in the initial show at Ann's words...but if you stop and try to understand what she is trying to get accross, you will agree that she is right... The MSM is always pushing the liberal widow viewpoint and they can NOT be questioned since they are 9/11 widows... Hmmm...

The Democrats do this on everything. They really go at it if the subject matter is a controversial topic where they believe they can make political inroads. Remember the AD of the black guy being dragged behind a car by southern racists and blamed on Bush41? Every time the subject of poverty comes about, you get visuals of some shack down south with a child with a distended belly sitting on the dirt floor inside. Most perpetrators of crime are portrayed as victims of society by liberal Dems. When given the death sentence, all the defenders of the murderer are out there with their candlelight vigils commenting on the hard life or childhood of abuse that caused the bad guy to do what he did and we should pity him more than the victim. The liberal MSM attacks our troops for atrocities rather than the enemies that are trying to kill us, and show visuals of blood-stained walls and poor Iraqi victims.
Liberal Dems always seek out the anecdotal example, the one case out of thousands that is the exception to the rule to justify whatever outrageous position they are defending at any given time. And then they swing right into moral equivalence. Putting panties on the heads of Iraqi prisoners is as much torture as jihadists lopping off heads. It's all the same you know.
