I personally think she is better when she is attacking liberal sacred cows in the idea arena, not the personal arena. That is why the converting Muslims to Christianity remark worked, and this doesn't.
IMO, by attacking the health of their personal relationships, she lost an opportunity to attack what they said and how they behave. She could have done that very effectively.
BTW, not only are they no better off than any other moonbat...they ARE moonbats. But that has nothing to do with the state of their marriages. (Please note: the namecalling in my previous statement is commentary on their ideas, not their persons. )

Ann's goal was to reveal these women as political hacks for the left, and she did it in a very memorable way. Coulter's goal was to provide the kind of over-the-top statement that would get people to buy her book and nothing else.

Coulter is an idiot and an embarassment to thinking conservatives.I am a thinking convervative and am not the least embarassed by Ann Coulter. She speaks the truth and refuses to back down to idiots that call her an idiot.

That is a good point, but let me ask you this.
Did those women make those comments, or are those comments made only by the people with who they are allied?
It makes a difference to me.
To: rodguy911
Yep. And just how the hell did they become experts on preventing terrorism anyway?

...That nonsense is just baseless slander....
Hey, ahayes, there are baseless slanders and then there are slanders based in hyperbole. These ladies were faaaaarrrrr more focused on Bush and their TV appearences WHERE THEY DID NOT FOCUS on their husbands. Think of George Costanza using his dead fiance to get dates.

The Bible is replete with admonitions to treat widows kindlyThank you, Palladin, that's what I was trying to remember about the self-proclaimed "911 Widow":
1Ti 5:13 Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not.

That's silly. You aren't very bright if you think disagreeing with Ann Coulter's venemous rhetoric is equivalent to sympathizing with these widows.

Tacky as hell. The grievingTM Jersey Girls and the grievingTM Cindy Sheehan are of a piece with the grievingTM Democratic Pep Rally and (oh-by-the-way) Wellstone "memorial." You wanna talk about tacky? That is tacky. All of it.
And I think that that is exactly Ann's point, dramatically made in the violating of the taboo.

You'd be surprised at what people hear and what people don't hear.
And yes, it is really sad. But one of the things I've learned is that the world is what it is. We do not have the bully pulpit even if we control several top positions in government.
Until we can make room for conservative voices in the msm, we have to play differently. It's not fair, but again, it is what it is.

If I tell you the truth about NYC, I'll have to kill you.
Let's just say, there are no normal people LIVING in NY. Great place to visit but not to live.

These women wholly prostituted the empathy granted to them by every decent human being in this country and used it to further a political agenda that was not intended to enhance national security or bring about reform, but was meant to do only one thing: sully Bush and hurt conservatives. This point is irrefutable and sometimes it has to be put bluntly for people to understand. A Freeper friend of mine corresponded with one of them for a while; I honestly cannot remember whether I did or not, but something makes me think I did.
But I remember reading her replies (and it is one of the ones on Matthews' show) -- they were stunning in their vitriolic claims about Bush; it was as if he and he alone caused the entire thing.
And the most shocking passages left you with only one conclusion: that they believe each and every one of us is at fault because WE didn't stop the airplanes.
Never mind that this woman's husband had been in the building during the 1993 bombing and had walked almost completely down the stairs on 9-11, then heard an announcement that their building was safe, and returned to his office.
Now, I'm thinking to myself, if I had been there in 1993, no way in HELL would I have gone back up, how about you?
I was left thinking that if this issue ever goes away, this woman may, in fact, commit suicide because it has consumed her.

Please notice that this criminal act was hardly reported in the MSM.
Lautenburg was applauded. Anne Coulter is being vilified.
The reason Coulter's book is going to be important is that she opens the way for a challenge to the PITY JUNKIES.
McKinney is black. Patches is a druggie. Cindy lost her son.
These "victims" have had the American people by the throat for far too long, and facing up to this now will help us all in the long run. Nobody dares to call one of the above a "messed up loser" but that is what they are...Anne has started a long overdue debate.
