In the controversy over Ann Coulter's comments about the group of 9/11 widows, there is one critical question, from the point of view of ensuring standards of accuracy in the media. How does Coulter know it to be true that, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." There is no evidence whatsoever that those women enjoyed their husbands' deaths, and Coulter offers none. The only "evidence" for this preposterous and hurtful claim is that the women became activists and sought the media spotlight and took a political position at odds with that of Coulter. But what does that prove?

I believe they are enjoying the vanity fair and other MSM coverage of them and their new found celebrity status.

I believe they are enjoying the vanity fair and other MSM coverage of them and their new found celebrity status.

The only reason they have that coverage is because their husbands died on 9/11. So it's fair to say that they are enjoying those benefits as a direct result of their husbands' deaths.

And they are free to enjoy those benefits. However, as they played that card, typical conservative whining about Ann's central point, that the media and Democrats were using these women as a paper shield for criticism of their ideas, but the method they used was not able to penetrate it.

Funny how whining alone never seems to do conservatives much good.

It took this hundred-pound woman to do what all the representatives in Congress, all the big-name talk show hosts couldn't do--which is bring attention to this heinous practice and call Democrats out for their stupidity and spinelessness.

Now conservatives feel safe jumping on the "give me attention too" bandwagon, but not for the point (which they've always agreed with) but for the manner in which it was presented--without which it there would be no bandwagon to board.
