<Ann Coulter is just too right-on even for many conservatives who are soooo afraid of being called "mean spirited". Well, I'm sorry, but here's one conservative whose give-a-damn is just flat busted, to steal a phrase.
>>>How does Coulter know it to be true that, "I've never
>>>seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."
Because she saw what she saw, and she is telling us what she saw?
[In journalism, facts and truth are supposed to matter.]
It's a bit too late to start whining about that!
This is a fair criticism. Ann Coulter engages in way to much ad hominem. She doesn't defend conservatism; she attacks liberals. The way she's doing it is pretty low-brow, too. Tactically, she sounds exactly like the venomous & the deranged on any kook-fringe leftist website; if she fights fire with fire here, she'll sound (and does) as bad and as crazy as they do. She hates liberals more than she loves Conservatism. And that's the rub: her real motivation is hatred (for them), and it shows.
Her discourse is loaded with sarcasm. It's as though she hears her own laugh track inside her head whenever she thinks she's really laid someone out in the sophomoric way she does. She thinks she's really funny. More often then not, she looks extraordinarily immature.
Too bad she doesn't grow up a little. She could be a lot more effective if she'd knock off this irresistability she has to be outlandish. The more cute she thinks she is when she's landing the verbal blows on others, the more it becomes clear she's a one note symphony. Her whole premise is: "I HATE LIBERALS". OK. We get it. Enough already.
To her credit: She has more Stones AND Brains than Sean Hannity. But she has nowhere near the intellectual firepower or communication skill of Rush Limbaugh. She could use more of the latter and less of the former.
Since some people seem to not want to understand what 'enjoy' means...
Enjoy: To have the use of; benefit from; have as one's lot: "at one time the white elephant enjoyed immense symbolic importance in the East" (Richard Carrignton). The American Heritage Dictionary.
I don't know what emotions these women in question have had, do have or will have, but it's pretty clear (unless one doesn't want to see) that they have very much benefited from i.e. enjoyed their situations. Coulter is perfectly correct.
It's not what she said....
..Dems... liberals and others are going ape crazy because she said it. Period.
She's exposing their little game...
...they are putting Murtha, the Jersey Girls and Sheehan in the vanguard with the DemLibs 'talking points'....
...THEY get away with calling President Bush every vile name in the book or calling our military even more vile stuff (Murtha) BECAUSE they are....military veteran, 9/11 widows, and grieving mom.
Ann's point ....and she does have one...is no one is to refute/doubt/disagree with these shrill shields.
But the minute Ann opens her mouth, outrageous though her adjectives are, she is told to 'kill herself'...or boycott her book, or 'make her shut up'
There is, as we already know, a double standard, and she is trying to expose it!
yea enjoying their deaths was pretty inaccurate.
Enjoying the fruit that their deaths have provided is probally more accurate.
I also believe The Jersey Girls and Cindy Sheehan are enjoying their so called untouchable status as a result of their bereavement.
The Left is trying mightily to push her words into the area of "hate speech", thereby making her guilty of a "hate crime". They should pursue this right after they do so with Schumers' "bullet to the head" thing. Not before.

This, from another obvious graduate of the Dan Rather School of Journalism!
If nothing else, these guys do have entertainment value!
CA....
Actually Ann supplies ample evidence that the Jersey Girls are enjoying their husband's death. The problem is that people do not understand English, let alone politics.
Let's say my wife died and I got a big life insurance pay-out. Since the kids are grown, I take the money and travel the world. I start living an opulent life style. I even make a few TV spots on life styles of the Rich and Famous. Would it not be fair to say I am “enjoying my wife’s death”? Certainty! If fact some of my wife’s family and friends may even criticize me for not paying more reverence to her death and instead spending the money willy-nilly.
Ann gives ample evidence in her book that the Jersey Girl’s are enjoying their husband’s death form the perspective that they have clearly taken advantage of the death to advance their politics and enrich their lives.
Furthermore, Ann is not the first to take a shot at the celebrity hood of the 911 widows. I would refer you to Law and Order, Season 15, episode 327. A clear shot at the 911 millionaires. Law and order is not a bastion of conservative thought.
It was a little over the top, but not by much -- and certainly not nearly as over the top as the backlash against her here, there and everywhere.
The fact remains that there is something extremely distasteful to say the least about how the "Jersey Girls" are conducting themselves, a la Cindy Sheehan, which is why I say Coulter's comment is at worst just a near-miss. They are flies buzzing around the remains at Ground Zero.
But for the fact that their husbands had died, these women would be nobodies. But since they are victim, they are beyond criticism. They are untouchables inasmuch as anyone finding fault with their motives is automatically seen as being grossly insensitive.
Ann Coulter was dead right on the money. The fact that this sentence has brought out the wolves in the MSM is proof positive that Ann Coulter was right as rain in her observation. The fact that so many conservatives have fallen for the propaganda being put out by the MSM is proof positive that they still weild a tremendous influence over public opinion.
Are these women not doing what they want to do? IIRC there has been criticism of these women by other of the 9/11 bereaved.
