Ann Coulter Banned in New Jersey?

Two New Jersey Democrats are pushing to have Ann Coulter's new book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," banned from all bookstores in their state because she criticized four 9/11 widows known as "the Jersey Girls."

In a joint press release issued Friday, New Jersey Assemblywomen Joan Quigley and Linda Stender say they want New Jersey retailers to "ban the sale of [Coulter's] book throughout the state."

"Ann Coulter's criticism of 9-11 widows, whose only desire since the attacks have been to repair their shattered lives and protect other families from the horrors they have experienced, is motivated purely by petty greed and hate," the two Democrats complained.

"Coulter's vicious characterizations and remarks are motivated by greed and her desire to sell books . . . She is a leech trying to turn a profit off perverting the suffering of others."

Quigley and Stender conclude:

"No one in New Jersey should buy this book and allow Ann Coulter to profit from her hate-mongering. We are asking New Jersey retailers statewide to stand with us and express their outrage by refusing to carry or sell copies of Coulter's book. Her hate-filled attacks on our 9-11 widows has no place on New Jersey bookshelves."

Private citizens can ban and government officials can ask.

Who do you think you're kidding?

In this country, kids praying in school is an establishment of religion, and you're trying to float the notion government official "asking" for a ban is okay?

[beaversmom]

I'd be promoting her book with "Banned in New Jersey?" headlines!

Excellent idea.

[Sofa King]

The problem is that we're not talking about just a couple of citizens here- we're talking about government officials. Technically, they have the right, but it's the type of thing a government official should refrain from doing anyway. There's a much thinner line between public statements and government policy in this case- anyone who genuinely believes in free speech should be careful of starting a very bad precedent.

I went to flight school with a guy from there. He always talked about "Jersey." When he's say "Jersey" he'd do a little thing with his hand on his waist that he called a "swooby." I never could figure that stuff out.

Ok, bend over.

[Fudd Fan]

No worries, arrogance borne of prejudice isn't easy to figure out. People like that want to feel better about themselves by denigrating someone else -- anyone will do.

I hope I never understand it. We should be glad we don't.

[FreeReign]

Ok, bend over.

Get lost.

[expatguy]

The buzz word is "Hate".

Labeling something as "hate speech" or a "hate crime" they feel trumps freedom of speech.

[Enterprise]

You get lost first.

[Texas Songwriter]

This is the thesis of Anns book. This is proof text to her being correct.

[SERE_DOC]

And now you have heard from the Nazi wing of New Jersey politicians or maybe it hits too close to home to have their darlings of the anti-Bush brigade playing to a different tune. It IMO is just NJ political pandering, perhaps if they ever get voted out (ha) they can get jobs in used car lots but they will have to adjust their sights higher or get better scruples?

[FreeReign]

You get lost first.

Look, you explode a cigar in my face and send it right back at you. Simple concept.

You get?

It's over their!!

Now there's an intelligent argument. Do you even understand what a "slippery slope argument" is? Apparently not, since neither Enterprise or I made one.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Significantly, however, Mr. Churchill's and Ms. Coulter's comments drove more people away than they convinced.....

Only panty waisted girlymen... which is good.

It's driving up her book sales. I understand Godless is #1 at Amazon.

Regarding the Constitution someone suggested that, " We send it to Iraq. It was written by a bunch of smart guys and has served our country well for almost 200 years. Since we aren't using it anymore we should let Iraq have it!"

[GlennLivett]

Why do you consider the truth "tasteless"? If more people spoke the truth, then we wouldn't have to deal all the PC sh*t that is now so prevalent.

Actually I call it "refreshing", so get a clue.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Democrats are scared they might have to debate the actual premise of the book. So they latch onto one thing, take it out of context, and call for a ban on the book. If they had actually read the book, they would know that they are doing precisely what she says they always do.

[jude24]

Again, like the Dixie Chicks..the wanted to enter the political fray with impunity. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. Grow up.

Who said they were immune from criticism? Coulter's statements go well beyond criticism.

[rawcatslyentist]

Well supreme judge of "taste", please enlighten us to the "tasteful" way of outing media whores!!!
