More than any of their other hate speech, the left’s attacks on women for being ugly tell you everything. There is nothing so irredeemably cruel as an attack on a woman for her looks.

I've been complaining about this tendency for years...unfortunately it's some of my fellow Freepers who are guilty. I daresay if you tune into just about any Hillary thread, you won't get far before the "She so ugly" comments show up. Ditto any liberal woman.

I'm going to use the above Anne Coulter quote from now on to bolster my argument against this childish practice.

She's right, as usual, but a touch on the insensitive side

Of course, being sensitive actually wasn't fixing the problem, was it? I think this may just break down the barriers protecting liberal victim mongers from criticism.

The suggestion or attempt by New Jersey to ban Ann's book may very well be a precursor of what to expect if the Democrats take over the Congress. Democrats are leftist socialist revolutionaries so that would be no surprise.

The four Jersey women became millionaires as a result of their husband's deaths. They have chosen to become activists as though they were representing all widows and widowers as a result of 9/11. They are fair game in the political area. Going around stinking up the country with their unsubstantiated claims and charges against the current administration just serves to demonstrate their ignorance of the political process and their disdain for other victims of 9/11 who disagree with their assessments, IMHO.

That is possible. If so, she once again proves she's smarter than I am.

Every criticism of Ann's comments about the Jersey girls has come from a critic who has not read her words and does not know what she wrote.

The libs need to be attacked in a direct fashion. And Ann is the point of the spear. An even more direct strategy is to confront the libs regarding their hate driven prejudicial stereotyping. There is nothing intellectually honest about the libs protestations.

Their hate -affair with GWB is telling and illustrative. Even an incurably incompetent GWB would have stumbled by chance onto some correct actions. But the perverse hate spewing left can never acknowledge even the most modest of intelligent human traits to someone they have worked so hard at demonizing and de-humanizing.

It is truly a terrifying display of raw hatred that we are witnessing. It is not rational. It is at it's root...pathological. It is precisely the kind of hatred that spawns murder and genocide. It is a hatred brewed up inside of a person intended to alleviate a deep inner ache. A dark inner wound. And once this hatred finds it's target it will not yield to logic or reason. It will relentlessly pursue it's target and revel in it's merciless and brutal destruction. Perhaps that's the deep root of kinship the libs and Islamonazis share. Lets face it, there is some kind of chemistry there. It may not have been love at first sight but I can see those two groups enjoying one big night of unified bawdy celebration at the news of GWB's demise.

GWB is the personification of everything hated in our post-modern world. He is a traditionalist. He is a man. He is a Christian. He is a Texan. He is a capitalist. And he is unapologetic.

Ultimately that is all that matters. He is guilty by design as are all of us who share any of those characteristics. GWB presents the perfect storm of personal qualities that makes him unworthy of not only the presidency, but life it's self. He pushes the nuclear destruct buttons of the liberal mind simply by speaking, by breathing, by being. He and his kind cannot and will not be tolerated by the tolerance set.

It is only through his destruction that they can affirm their humanity.

So to argue or debate these people on this or that issue is to honor their motivations and respect their intentions far more than they deserve. They have no intention of entering into a partnership of equals resulting in shared values and compromise. We are the enemy and their very lives depend on our defeat. Not the defeat of Islamonazis. Not the defeat of poverty, crime, racism, intolerance and ignorance.

In the simplistic hate filled mind of the modern lib all the ills of the world will suddenly dissolve when men and women like GWB cease to exists or at the very least are exiled to the back of life's bus. Placed as far from the controls as is necessary to insure we have no influence. And if we don't learn and accept our place, force will be quick and severe.

So Ann is the spear. She is placing a dagger directly in the heart of the demon by speaking the truth. And the demon is gnashing and thrashing about while the pretty frail blonde girl unflinchingly stares into the bowels of Hell. Reminds me of that scene from the exorcist. All the demons hysterically screaming and threatening and wailing...cause they know they've been found out and they've met their match.

We weren't talking about attitude.

Everything I ever needed to know about liberals, I've learned from living in Seattle.

As a generalization, they are smug, hateful, spiteful, smarmy jerks who believe anyone who disagrees with them is a fascist idiot that doesn't deserve a voice in their precious Church Of The Tolerance State.

I've met my share of right-wing lunatics whom I consider dangerous - especially here at FR, but the percentage of main-stream liberals who are a threat to everyday freedom is truly scary.

OK, I read it and I think some of the commentary was unnecessary, in particular the comment about "we don't know if their husbands were going to divorce them".

However, her point about them holding up their loss as a shield against criticism and using it to lambaste this administration and any other conservative was certainly dead on target.

Yes, but everything we say about Helen Thomas is true. And even if she became a Republican conservative tomorrow...everything we say about Helen Thomas' looks will still be true.

The truth hurts, even when it's funny. Ann tells the unvarnished truth and the Libs can't take it. Kooks!

Liberals are only "liberal" until they get power.

The Ann haters are so petty, childish, yet vicious.

They accuse her of being a man, being too skinny (as if that's a sin), or wearing pointy shoes :). That's the best they can come up with. Losers...:)

May I suggest you precede the term with so-called, like they do with partial birth abortion?
