A member of the Sept. 11 commission on Friday lashed out at conservative pundit Ann Coulter for a "hate-filled attack" in saying the widows whose husbands died in the World Trade Center used the deaths for their own political gain.
In her latest book, Coulter criticizes the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11, attacks. The women also backed Democrat John Kerry's presidential candidacy in 2004.
"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief- arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter wrote.
Former Rep. Tim Roehmer, D-Ind., a member of the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, called Coulter's "hate-filled attack on the patriotic heroes of 9/12 _ the widows of 9/11 _ reprehensible and undignified."
Roehmer urged people not to buy her book. "Americans shouldn't contribute to her profiting from these vicious remarks."
Rep. Rahm Emmanuel, D-Ill., said Thursday on the House floor that Coulter is a "hatemonger" and called on Republicans to denounce her: "I must ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Does Ann Coulter speak for you when she suggests poisoning not Supreme Court Justices or slanders the 9/11 ... widows? If not, speak now. Your silence allows her to be your spokesman."
Among Coulter's previous statements, she advocated the invasion of non-Christian nations after Sept. 11 and the deportation from the U.S. of "all aliens from Arabic countries." She said American Taliban John Walker should be executed to show liberals what happens to traitors. And she said the only real question about President Clinton was "whether to impeach or assassinate."
Among the most quotable Coulter:
_"To expiate the pain of losing her first-born son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush's Crawford ranch. ... After your third profile on 'Entertainment Tonight,' you're no longer a grieving mom; you're a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show," Coulter wrote in her TownHall.com column on Aug. 18, 2005.
_"Even if corners were cut, (Iran-Contra) was a brilliant scheme. There is no possibility that anyone in any Democratic administration would have gone to such lengths to fund anti-communist forces. When Democrats scheme from the White House, it's to cover up the president's affair with an intern. When Republicans scheme, it's to support embattled anti-communist freedom fighters sold out by the Democrats," she wrote in 2003's "Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism."
_"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building," The New York Observer quoted her as saying on Aug. 20, 2002. She clarified those remarks with RightWingNews.com: "Of course I regret it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.'"
_"After all other suitable office space in Manhattan had dried up _ and also after spending the weekend golfing at an all-white club in Florida _ Clinton announced he would take an office in Harlem. ... As one of my friends remarked, that should be nice: Having escaped a mugging on the way to work, Clinton's female employees will then have to face an accused rapist in the office," Coulter wrote on Feb. 19, 2001.
_"(Liberals) are always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. ... Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment," Coulter said during an Oct. 21, 2005, speech at the University of Florida.
_"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war," Coulter wrote in a column published by the National Review Online on Sept. 13, 2001.
_"The portrayal of Senator Joe McCarthy as a wild-eyed demagogue destroying innocent lives is sheer liberal hobgoblinism. Liberals weren't cowering in fear during the McCarthy era. They were systematically undermining the nation's ability to defend itself while waging a bellicose campaign of lies to blacken McCarthy's name. Everything you think you know about McCarthy is a hegemonic lie. Liberals denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought back like animals to hide their own collaboration with a regime as evil as the Nazis," she wrote in "Treason."
_"Mostly the Witches of East Brunswick wanted George Bush to apologize for not being Bill Clinton," she wrote in "Godless." She was referring to the New Jersey town where two of the Sept. 11 widows live.
_"We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said in a Jan. 27 appearance at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Ark., regarding Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. She later explained she was joking about the justice, whose votes have upheld Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision legalizing abortion.
_"You want to be careful not to become just a blowhard," she said in The Washington Post on October 16, 1998.

Savage ripped Ann? What a retard.
The funniest part was when they were talking about Cindy Sheehan and the Rat that was opposing her said, "But she lost her son", to which, Coulter of course replied, "You just made my point", that the RATs put up these people with sad stories and they say we can't respond b/c of their tragedy.Bingo!

Liberals in America have been staging a new strategy on winning public-policy debates: Simply provide spokespeople that no one is allowed to respond to. Ann Coulter had the gall to challenge that and let loose with some direct observations in her newest best seller, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," and true to form, liberals have been fomenting in response.
The reason they are is not because Ann has broken some sacred respect that one should have for a grieving mother, wife or relative. Rather, the reason they are so outraged by this is because it stabs through the heart the strategy of hiding behind spokespeople who "can't be criticized..."
-- snip --
...Ann's criticism is legitimate. If liberals in America wish truly to have a debate on the issues that we all have strong emotions about, then stand and make the point, but don't hide behind those who are ineffective, unskilled and often wrong in their views, simply because they're victims.
For the last few weeks, Rep. Jack Murtha has been crisscrossing the television pundit circuit criticizing the brave Marines who fell under attack via an improvised explosive device, after which some women and children tragically ended up dead. The Marines claimed that they were fired upon and that those firing upon them did so from behind women and children being used as human shields. The jury is still out, but thus far Murtha has yet to present evidence that contradicts the Marines' account.
Liberals are using the exact same tactics today – firing upon people of faith who believe in God, who believe God's model for marriage is what society should promote, but they do so from behind victims against whom, they believe, no one would fire back. People like the Jersey Girls, Joe Wilson, Cindy Sheehan and Jack Murtha. They do so knowing that they would lose in substantive, equitable fair debates...

Pre-ordered it from Amazon, along with Sammon's "Strategery", got her book a day before D-Day. I just started with it, after beginning with Sammon's. So far so good.
IMO, the Left doesn't do very well with contrary opinions, does it?
Actually I don't see much difference between the two. One is a blowhard for the left and the other a blowhard for the right.
Both are out to make money by saying outrageous things.
Let's face it. The DEMS
and MSM are just ticked because
someone like Anne Coulter can
outwit, outsmart-remark, and
out-sarcasticize THEIR favorite
chirper, Maureen Dowd!
Annie, You go, Girl!
In the first [robbery], a couple walking along the Mall near the Museum of Natural History about 10:45 p.m. saw three young men wearing black ski masks and dark clothes approach.
Hey....were you in D.C. on Memorial Day weekend?
;-)
Funny how much attention she is getting.
Imagine a scenerio where the dems were as concerned for the victims that actually fell to their death on 9-11, the military that is in harms way everyday, the thousands of women, children and men that have been blown to bits, the freakin threats everyday to our POTUS and the country then they are about a couple of paragraphs in a gosh darn BOOK! We would have won the war already. They suck! Who is prolonging this war I wonder, finally aloud!!!!!!!
Yes, their generous "gifts", from the government,public, charities, etc., left the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing rather breathless.
Michael Weiner is the biggest and loudest poster child for p**** envy. I place little to no credence on anything he says...err, shouts.
The difference is that one is treated as a mainstream voice and the other is treated as a "blowhard".
I would submit, that calling the people on the planes on 9/11 cowards is much worse than anything Ann Coulter has said.
STOP THE INSANITY!
Seems that losing a spouse, like staying at a Holiday Inn Express, makes you an expert on everything. Who knew.
For every high-profile Dem that comes out to criticize the book, I hereby promise to buy another copy.
For writing that piece this stinking Harpie deserves alot worse than what Coulter gave her.
They shouldve had to sign a loyalty oaths and non-treason documents prior to getting the hard cash money gift from the American people.
I hear they now chime in on gay marraige. Unfrickin believable.
Or a rose in a pile of manure.
Her blog entires and various quotes deserve compilation.
Her voter status and political status deserves examining.
I believe she is a bitter woman who lied in the press believeing that no one would question her.
Well guess what?
I bet this lady was not registered a Republican.
..give em hell Annie.
