While Ann Coulter's point was dead-on, she did choose her words poorly.

Can you honestly say that Cindy Sheehan is not enjoying her son's death??

I can't think of any current writer who has been critized for THE WORDS they used other than Ann Coulter. It's bizarre.

Choosing of the words were right on. Look at the results, it got the Jersey Girls exposed for what they are. And sure put the lefties in a real tail spin.

Another thing, maybe it will silence these women and put a damper on them since the main purpose of the RAT party was to find more to rant on just before the November election. If they try, we should kick it back like Ann did.

I'll just post a reply to you as a surrogate for all the others on this thread who hold the notion that Ms Coulter chose her words poorly. Some of her words may have jarred YOUR sensibilities; however, she is very much the wordsmith and each word was vetted by her, the editor, and lawyers. Those were not poorly chosen. They were precisely chosen. They got precisely the intended result.

As proof, those sections were hyped, ridiculed, exploited, and focused the debate on a niggling problem that conservatives were having some difficulty in responding to- the immunized victim criticism. The left took no offense to being labeled "Godless".

To have taken on the major thesis of the book would have left them in an indefensible position. By throwing out the inflammatory words about the JG's, she reeled in liberals who were all to ready to quit the debate of liberalism as a religion and take on what looked like an all to easy dismissal of Ms. Coulter as a loose cannon.

At the end of the day, all of Ms. Coulter's objectives met precisely because she chose those exact words which you find poorly chosen.
