"... Ann's over the top rhetoric. Was it really necessary for her to refer to the 911 widows as harpies and say for all we knew their husbands were about to divorce them."

You are repeating a MainStream exaggeration. Ann was referring specifically to the select group of five women called "the Jersey Girls." She correctly identified them as publicity hounds and activists in the style of Cindy Sheehan.

You think that is okay to say about five specific people with absolutely nothing to base it on. These women are liberals and it is fine to call them on it. It is fine to call them on the fact that they have become shills for the democrats. But why attack their marriages and their sexual allegiances? That is just pathetic.

It is not being argued whether Ann was correct in labeling the Jersey Girls as opportunists - it is the over-the-top rhetoric. While her overall points made about Islam, Jersey Girls, and now this are generally spot-on logically the rhetoric surely stops many fence sitters from listening any further. It is effective in gaining Ann attention but it costs conservatives in untold ways because of the ammunition that gives the liberal MSM, academia, Hollywood etc.
