Coulter won't apologize for slamming 9/11 widows
Newsday ^ | June 8, 2006 | JENNIFER MALONEY AND JOSEPH MALLIA

...a town where a dozen roadways are named in honor of those who died that day, few took to New York Avenue to protest the bookstore signing of the conservative author.

Instead, a defiant Coulter was met with more than 300 spirited fans at an event broadcast live to hundreds of radio stations by conservative commentator -- and Huntington Town resident -- Sean Hannity.

Huntington Town Board member Mark Cuthbertson, publicly rebuked her as he handed over a letter. "I'm here on behalf of many of my constituents. We are disgusted with your comments," he said, drawing hoots from the crowd.

Coulter ripped up the letter to the cheers of her admirers, an action Cuthberston later said shows she is "promoting hate speech."

Against my better judgement I have to ask. What exactly is "my kind"?

I thought I had expressed my self clearly on that.

The kind that would shoot our own soldiers on the battlefield.

My criticism of Coulter equates in your mind to me shooting our own troops on the battlefield?

Moron.

We are battling not over land, but ideas. We aren't using real bullets, just words.

Evidently that's beyond your capacity to grasp, so ignore my posts to you.

They were for readers with greater intellectual horsepower.

Other than a few token tax cuts Republicans aren't all that different than Democrats. They have gone on a spending spree that would have embarrassed Bill Clinton.

Few things are capable of embarassing Bill Clinton. The overspending of Republicans certainly is not one of them. Bill Clinton's universal health care plan was defeated only because Republicans stood united against it. As a percentage, the nation's deficit is smaller than at ANY time during the 1990's... Thanks to those "token" tax cuts which are driving the economy's growth so fast Ben Bernanke wants to slow it down.

One great Republican once said of another great Republican that

His great mission was to accomplish two things: first, to save his country from dismemberment and ruin; and, second, to free his country from the great crime of slavery. To do one or the other, or both, he must have the earnest sympathy and the powerful cooperation of his loyal fellow-countrymen. Without this primary and essential condition to success his efforts must have been vain and utterly fruitless. Had he put the abolition of slavery before the salvation of the Union, he would have inevitably driven from him a powerful class of the American people and rendered resistance to rebellion impossible. Viewed from the genuine abolition ground, Mr. Lincoln seemed tardy, cold, dull, and indifferent; but measuring him by the sentiment of his country, a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to consult, he was swift, zealous, radical, and determined.

This might just as easily be said of the Republican Party as a whole. One must always judge human institutions by their relevant alternatives. No political party is perfect just as no church is perfect just no economic or political system is perfect. The Constitution and Libertarian Parties are both isolationist in their foreign policies, the Libertarian Party supports open borders and the Constitution Party holds the Nader position on free trade. For all its faults, the Republican Party is well to the right of either when all of the positions of each are taken into consideration.

Speaking of Ralph Nader. his "influence" on the Democratic Party was mainly to make it lose, just as the Bull Moose Party of Roosevelt made the Republicans lose. As Rush Limbaugh has said, there's no such thing as winning by losing. That's why Ann Coulter is a Republican and thinks the idea of voting Constitution or Libertarian is self-defeating. "Trench warfare" is about facing reality and from there. She does this, and does it very well, and we should all learn from her. Anyone who has read her Treason or High Crimes understands that the Democrats are far more bad for the country than the Republicans are good for it. Clinton's negligence already weakened the United States by refusing to take Bin Ladin when he was offered up, cutting and running in Somalia, and any number of ways too long to go into. Anyone who thinks the two main Parties' differences are trivial is sadly mistaken--- and it is a vicious insult to Ann Coulter to mislabel her as one of those misguided, benighted souls.

So did CNN. They scrubbed what Hillary was responding to, but read her response intact. Typical Bolshevik liars.

The who who is saying it is saying the truth, and you should judge your "who"s more by whether they do so, and less by cheap atmospherics that mean nothing.

"...Against my better judgement I have to ask. What exactly is "my kind"? "

That line almost sounds like it came out of Shakespeare's "King Henry V" (instead of "kind", it was "nation"), and used in about the same context! Good stuff.

Check out the 39th paragraph in this longish FR article from Guardian which is a basic Ann Coulter biography put together to defend her from the last MSM/Dem smear.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/913249/posts
Also Google her name and Muslim boyfiend and you''ll get many hits on this.

Coulter won't apologize for slamming 9/11 widows
Coulter did not slam 9/11 widows.

She slammed four particular 9/11 widows.

Actually, she slammed four particularly vicious political opportunists who also happen to be 9/11 widows.

There is no way Coulter should apologize for this. She is performing a public service.
- - - -

Much agree. I get sick and tired of the shrill traitorous dolts getting all the headlines and air time. We need a fiesty pointperson on our side. Coulter does marvelously in that role.

Too bad there's not a man to do it but Coulter makes a much more attractive point person anyway.

When I see the look on this girlieman's face when Ann rips up his letter it is priceless. Such a look of shock and dismay.
This petty socialist thought his letter was power and that Ann would be cowed by it. The victimization tactic and the fear of the right on being labeled has worn thin.
So what is this one hit wonder's fall back position? Ann is promoting "hate speech."

That got me thinking. What is "Hate speech"? Isn't that speech that is protected by the First Amendment? Isn't that the very reason for having a first amendment? So people can say unpopular things? Isn't that freedom?
Socialists like this tadpole hate this country because individual freedom carries responsibilities and our destiny is ours to make. Only cowards demand equality and the safety of the herd. Only failures like this want everyone to be the same. That is why they want income redistribution, destruction of corporations and the rich, and the ability to micromanage every aspect of our lives.

It was a stunt by this clown to get his name in the news. Well, Ann de-pantsed him in front of a live audience and now, thousands of miles away, I get to see what a loser he is.

When those women applied for Sainthood they opened themselves to criticism. They turned what should have been a serious investigation into a Whitewash for the BJ administration.

This is the left's attempt to silence her over words rather than ideas.

What is "Hate speech"?

Anything that liberals disagree with. They are very intolerant of those they find intolerant.

You mean someone has to agree with her 100% of the time? I have many close friends with whom I don't agree with 100% of the time.

That's a silly post. Nothing is 100%.

durasell, based on these posts you're too obsessive and argumentative. Ligten up and enjoy.

Cheers . . .
