Coulter isn't crude, she says what needs to be said.

Garbage. How about if we post that you have enjoyed the deaths of your family members.

You wouldn't call that crude?

The difference is that Vision isn't playing politics by using the death of loved ones as a pass key to the public square.

Many years ago when I was in law school, a zany feminist law professor whose mad and vile rants in print wound up in the Harvard Law Review was brutally stabbed to death on the street. Anyone who criticized her oeuvre was immediately shouted down for being heartless, cruel, etc. A caricature of her article was parodied and one HLS professor called it hate speech. The law review editors responsible for the parody were threatened with expulsion. It took Charles Fried to observe that while this woman's memory was sacred, her opinions and writings were not.

This nonsense about the Jersey girls reminded me of that episode in annals of trojan horse politics. Assuming they had stable, loving marriages and sincerely lament the loss dear ones, their politicizing of 9/11 for leftist purposes is not sacred. I'm certain that Ann's poison pen was aimed at their deeds, not their loss.
