Conservative author Ann Coulter is firing back at Sen. Hillary Clinton, after the former first lady attacked her for being "vicious [and] mean-spirited" towards a group of politically active 9/11 widows.
"I think if she's worried about people being mean to women she should have a talk with her husband," Coulter told radio host Sean Hannity, who was hosting a book signing for the conservative firebrand on Long Island.
"This is, I remind you, Bill Clinton's wife," Coulter added. "[And I'm the one who's] mean to women?"
Earlier in the day, Mrs. Clinton complained about Coulter's attacks on the Jersey Girls, a group of 9/11 widows who blamed President Bush for the attacks that killed their husbands and who campaigned for John Kerry in 2004.
"Perhaps [Coulter's] book should have been called 'Heartless,"' the top Democrat said. "I know a lot of the widows and family members who lost loved ones on 9/11. They never wanted to be a member of a group that is defined by the tragedy of what happened."
An angry Clinton added that she found it "unimaginable that anyone in the public eye could launch a vicious, mean-spirited attack on people whom I've known over the last four and a half years to be concerned deeply about the safety and security of our country."
But Coulter told Hannity: "She may know the 9/11 widows, but you and I know Juanita Broaddrick" - a reference to one of Mr. Clinton's accusers.
Coulter delivered her broadsides against Mrs. Clinton as a phalanx of TV and print reporters looked on.
The heavy coverage was prompted by the New York Daily News, which frontpaged Coulter's comments on the Jersey Girls in Wednesday editions.
I love it. It's about time somebody had the guts to stand toe-to-toe with Queen Hillary.
I'd say "just who the heck do you think you are? Your husband is a rapist and you want to lecture us about being mean? Get your own house in order you hypocrite!"
I see that Godless is the #1 bestseller at Amazon right now. HAH! This is despite all the liberal hacks bashing it. Sure wish our so-called leaders had Ann's spine. :)
Thank you for posting that. Got my blood boiling all over again. The Clintons are criminal trash, and their treason haunts us still.
LOL, Somehow I believe you!
:-)
And who ran like...well, like a girl when faced with a liberal armed with a cream pie. Like I said, Coulter slamming Clinton is a no-brainer. It sells more books.
Expect Clinton to quickly disengage from this fight much to the chagrin of Coulter.
Clinton got what she wanted. She called Coulter a nasty person, Coulter replied with her insults, no reason to continue on. The point was made for the base, on both sides.
I got the high school detention slip to prove it. PE teachers have no sense of humor.
Are you aware as to how many widows she was specifically referring to and why?
Go Ann!
Agree.
If I condemn the left for being disrespectful and arrogant, I can't support someone with whom I may agree ideologically when she stoops to their level. Ann's been taking cues from Moore and Sheehan, and I'm embarrassed for her. Surely her mother taught her better.
Not a class act.
I hope Ann doesn't shoot herself in the back of the head.
It's equally predictable and amusing that people will spend long periods on a thread about something in which they claim to have no interest.
Ha!
Suspect that some FBI files might be involved, but you have a point.
One thing, certainly, that Anne is not is PC.
Right now, somewhere in Canada.....
A cellphone rings next to Bill and Melinda lying in bed at her mansion.
Bill answers and does a couple of "uhh huhhs", and then hangs up. Bill sighs. Melinda yawns and asks him who was that.
"That was you know who. Looks like I got to get to NYC and do an apperence as the concerned husband again."
"Oh Bill, I thought you promised you were going to ask for a divorce soon?"
"Look babe, its an election year."
Rock on, Ann!
Heheh. Yep.
Anyway it's been mere hours, and already I can see that this hype will go nowhere.
