I didn't realize being a complete lout was a required characteristic.
It5 is beyond me why politicians think their comments are needed here.
Not by suggesting their dead husbands (American victims of terrorists) were about to divorce them. Ann blew it.
>>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.<<
No, what it is is bringing into question just how negatively impacted they were by their husbands deaths. She is trying to amplify and expand the context in which their political activity took place. She is saying we really don't know where they are coming from and should be reticent to be impacted by anything they said, yet many people took their stories and "sincerity" hook, line and sinker.
Sinkspur, you need to get some religion!
I agree with you. The most annoying and hypocritical thing is that Ann is touting her book as being a Christian viewpoint. The Bible is replete with admonitions to treat widows kindly:

I don't care how mercenary and opportunistic some (a small minority) of 9-11 widows are. They still deserve some kindness, from a stictly Christian viewpoint.
No, it should not have been CENSORED by some silly editor. These women have operated ENTIRELY out of the field of widowhood and, like a terrorist, they do not clothe themselves in the uniform of a pundit but the uniform of a widow and hide amongst the widows sniping.
You are incorrect on the "idea" that she "screwed up". Every body is talking about her message right this minute.
While that is a possibility it's also possible that Ann really is a true believer and is just plain sick and tired of giving the lib/rats center stage all the time.
From our colleges to our political institutions to our media, we cave to them almost on command. She is fighting back. Does she always say the perfect thing all the time? Possibly not.But that does not mean she does not believe in what she espouses. I think there is much more to Ann Coulter than just a bookseller.
Rock on, Ann.
I agree, I never suspected before the promotion for this book that Ann Coulter might consider herself a Christian.
With people like Ann on our side, who needs enemies?
She's a shrill, anorexic harpy.
If you can count, dfj, the "some" is exactly FOUR. It is EXACTLY THAT SMALL "SOME" that Ann is harping on.
She is in no jam and she will not get a beating.
Ann has to be loving this. LOL!
I don't like them and I don't like what they are doing but I think that comment crosses the line. Sometimes there's something to be said for taking the high road.
And that was just a few months ago.
Let's hope.
You appear to be the one making her the topic. The majority of us here are talking about the Jersey Saints, not Ann.
They do not get a free pass from most people in NJ. They disgrace themselves.
You are almost as unkind as Ann Coulter.
