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.
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.
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.
That's the problem. You think this is a boxing match. It's Ultimate Combat Cage Fighting. You go into that ring with regulation gloves and see how long you last. The left has been throwing low blows, gouging out eyes, kicking, and using knives in their gloves for 4 years now.
It's about time someone on the right stepped up and used an axe.
