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."

Sieg Heil!
Ms. Coulter's comments are not made more tasteful by comparing them to Mr. Churchill's "little Eichmanns" comment. Both are reprehensible - but both are protected political speech. Significantly, however, Mr. Churchill's and Ms. Coulter's comments drove more people away than they convinced.
You can "feel" them squirming until they can figure out a way to support the first half of the book while burning the second, can't ya?
Yeah, diversity is our strength! (sarcasm off)
What are they afraid of, Braindead, hatefilled Liberals can't read anyway. Just acting like the Stalinists that they are.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Why don't they just have an old fashioned book burning and be done with it??
You've never wandered into New Yawk?
No. I am arguing in the alternative - that offensive though they may be, the maximum legal recourse is not a ban on the sale of the books, but a lawsuit for slander or defamation of character.
"If A" does not mean A is true - it just means assume A is true for the sake of considering "A----->B."
Please don't go off half cocked just because some asinine liberals want to "ask" private businesses to stop someone's opinion from being heard, the people will decide.
Everyone who hears the comment without a long, detailed explanation to frame it in a very favorable light thinks the comment is over-the-top. That most certainly makes it an embarassment.
"Tasteless as Ms. Coulter's comments are,"
Huh?
ROTFLMAO!
You heard me. They were tasteless.
BWahahahahahahahaha!
Ann Kicked over a rock and the maggots are squirming on steroids!
Don't let them hide behind their 'victimhood' to play big time politics!
And no more of them hiding behind the 'hate' epithet!
Or for that matter, "racist", "homophobe", "mysoginist", or any of the labels they so loosely attempt to apply to those who disagree with them (I personally like 'Neanderthal')!
Make them speak to the issues!
No more free passes!
The more stirred up they get, the more they prove her right!!
It needed to be said, just like she said it.
Hope, that was not directed at you, just those that
are trying to twist this into something it's not by
being unfair in their critism of people that do not agree with Ms. Coulter's opinion and want PRIVATE busineses not to sell it....Let the DBM/dems be liars and hypocrites, not us.
Actually the book sellers are quite within their rights to refuse to sell her book, Ann has the right to write a book but she has no right to have it published, reviewed or bought. The Constitution ban on censorship only applies to the Government.
That said, all this will do will be to add another bunch off sales to her total. This same thing would happen when the Catholic Church would forbid Catholics to read this or that book or see a certain movie.
