Did anyone say Ann was getting enjoyment out of her spouse's death?

I didn't know Ann was ever married.

My post was posted to point out the irony and hypocrisy.

I'm not supporting what she says, but she sure does it with a lot more class (classless as it is) than the psychophants here.

But then she is a professional, the people getting off on putting her down appear to be self-absorbed amateurs embarrassing themselves in public. Not a felony.

In boxing matches do they typically kick the opponent in the crotch?

I don't approve of these widows, but Ann Coulter's reply is mean-spirited and counter-productive. Ann-bots will applaud her, liberals will spit, and the majority in the middle will be disgusted and alienated from conservativism. Rather than criticising these women's appearance and suggesting their marriages were a sham she should instead be rationally discussing the issue, but I guess that doesn't sell many books.

No, but in real life it will simply remove one of his legs.

Come on NYer. Her basic theme is correct, but don't you think that if the way one says something immediately clouds and obscures the message, it ceases to be effective?

I do not care for these four women, and I believe that their positions on this issues are not only wrong, but twistedly wrong.

However, I believe their husbands most likely loved them dearly, and to suggest that they were ready to abandon their wives and children is not just tacky and classless, it undermines the moral authority of her own argument.

It will sell a lot of books for her. Which in the end is the only thing that will matter to Ann.

Annbots!

Its funny, so many willing to fall all over themselves making excuses for crassness, just so long as its the crassness we believe in.

I think her style is counterproductive to her arguments.

Did you ever think the women who lost their husbands actually want accountability from their government and elected officials?

Many women do, but not the Terror Whores. They made it perfectly clear that they have only a partisan interest.

How do we know they weren't planning on killing their husbands? How do we know they didn't eat their newborn babies? How do we know they don't sacrifice black cats to Satan in their basements?

That nonsense is just baseless slander.

I think it is backfiring or perhaps smoldering until November!

"Because, as members of the Church of Liberalism you are supposed to venerate the Saint Jerseys."

Really, does she say that? Everything I've read today discussed her quotes with no context. If she is indeed making such a point she probably would have been better off doing it without the, in my opinion, personal attacks. Then the point might be being addressed instead of the attacks.

You are hearby barred entry to conservatism. You don't have the stones. All those here in agreement say, "Aye".

Exactly. Just like no one is talking about the Chicks music, just their name-calling.

This sells right now. It forces everybody to "pick a side." It makes good TV. It's all about US vs. THEM. But I'm not sure that it moves the ball down the field, which is actually what I'd like to see happen. We have to convince a fair number of THEM that we are correct. That is best done through patient, persistent, clear discussion of ideas.

But then, I'm probably not a REAL conservative anyway. At least, that is what I've been told recently by those who see this fight differently. Sigh.

Sorry, but Ann screwed up. In a spectacular way.

She damaged the conservative message, her spew was as nasty as lib-spew. We know when the libs do it it doesn't work, but when Ann does it, it's magical elixir? No. She is an embarrassment and a detractor. If you think her speculation about the dead American husbands perhaps wanting to leave their wives and children HELPED matters, I think you are being disingenuous.

It may not make sense to you, but everyone has a different "calling" in politics. Granted, I personally would not respond as Ann does, I think there is a need to have people like her challenging the leftists in a way that only she can do it. She serves a purpose, and she is doing it exactly as she intends and getting the response she wants from it.

It's as if I wrote it myself.
