Local (Long Island) Dems have words of their own for Coulter

House Democrats from Long Island and New York City on Friday joined the chorus of critics slamming Ann Coulter.

The lawmakers signed a letter drafted by Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) demanding that the conservative commentator apologize for saying in her new book that widows of some 9/11 victims are "enjoying" their husbands' deaths. The book refers to the four New Jersey women as "the witches of East Brunswick."

"Their personal loss should never be minimized, especially in such a cold and callous way as you attack these victims in your book," Israel wrote.

That perfectly describes Ann Coulter.

What a wonderful display of ego in your post, #9.

You've critiqued your own diatribe, ignoring the fact that its hyperbole is basically useless, aimless and irrational trash, meaningless and empty.

It's just another rant from an outrageous and intellectually vacant demagogue -- just one more empty suit.

>You're just upset because Coulter doesn't fight within the template the Left has designed for conservatives while remaining exempt of those very same rules

If you read Treason
very carefully you may
start to question her . . .

Middie, middie, middie! Get a life! Dummies like you are the reason I despise liberals. Please tell me where Coulter uses misinformation. Her accuracy is extraordinary and spot on, to the endless irritation of liberals. The only "Orwellian lock step" that is constantly and patently obvious is that demonstrated every day by the RATs. Their playbook and talking points are seldom altered and are always wrong, just as you are about Ann.

Hey, what would anybody expect from a person who considers the Bush administration a "train wreck":

I disagree with middie in his evaluation of the Bush administration, but his words are mild compared to some of the stuff out of the Borderbots here.

[handk]

Your objection to the book is duly noted, but evidence of any attached substance to your objection is no where to be found. Empty suit I see, do I.

Don't miss the best comments I've seen on this latest MSM frenzy:

Liberals are racist, Stanford/Washington Post study suggests. Plus Zarqawi's death as bad news, and the Coulter kerfuffle!

and his reference to Dorothy Rabinowitz' deconstruction of the Jersey witches:

This profile of one the "Jersey witch" professional victims is also instructive:

Hey middie, why don't you go...

[Matchett-PI]

I'll be glad to dub you as the resident expert on empty suits.

[frithguild]

For being a lawyer, your writing is quite poor.

Prescient.

Coutler reminds me of an episode of Bill Cosby where Dr Huxtable advices Theo that few appreciate a wonderful steak served on a garbage can lid. Presentation is important, and she often choses the most venal approach. In this instance, I don't have enough facts to know if she is correct or not. I agree with her often, and also disagree with her sometimes (for example, her defence of Joe McCarthy). But, on the whole, it is important to have a bold perspective, which she brings.

"If the Jersey Girls liked Bush instead, these same dems would say they were rightwing fanatics"

I beg to differ. If the Jersey Girls liked Bush, we'd never have heard of them.

[Froggie]

I'm betting Middie's wife's name is BOB.

[M-cubed]

While I haven't finished it (and I probably won't because it's useless, aimless and irrational trash), <<

LMAO...Haven't finished it huh?...sounds like your the empty suit u speak of!!!.....

[mjp]

It's the same relentless diatribe intended to satisfy her constituency on the far right that attributes every evil and public detriment to the evil left

What does it feel like to wake up every day hoping for every kind of disaster to happen to America, just so that liberals can get elected? I could not live that way.

[rockabyebaby]

Hey Joysey Girls, guess the truth hurts, Annie has hit a HUGE nerve, LOL, I'm lovin' it!

[AmericaUnite]

And there's a Newsmax thread on this as well. The NJ harpies have spread their influence too long. Go Ann.

[I still care]

As another freeper said, you only get flak when you're over the target.

[Stayingawayfromthedarkside]

Your right, but they would still be rightwing fanatics like the rest of us. LOL!!!

[Mark]

It's the same relentless diatribe intended to satisfy her constituency on the far right that attributes every evil and public detriment to the evil left and every public benefit to the Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. clones who worship their every hyperbole, exaggeration and misinformation. Advocacy based on independence of thought and critical analysis is the highest form of indvidual participation in public affairs

Mean spirited remarks like that won't feed even one hungry child.
