There ya go. There ya go. They named streets after people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?! Unless you did something above and beyond the call of duty I think that's going a bit too far.
"Coulter won't apologize for slamming 9/11 widows"
Nor should she.......
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
There must be some history behind that statement. Can anyone clarify?
These people are the enemies of freedom.
Meow. Meow.
Leave it to that filthy slimy disgusting home town fish wrapper of mine to misquote Ann on the Holocaust and leave it dangling there with no response.
Newsday has tables set up in the foyer of most supermarkets on Long Island trying to get people to sign up for subscriptions. I give the salespeople my short but succinct diatribe on how I really feel about the dung they are peddling.
These libs are beyond pathetic. Go buy a clue and then cry me a river, socialist.
I pray Annie never shuts up. She really rocks when she raggin' on the lefties, and i think she's hilarious to listen to. In fact, my husband says she reminds him of me, lol - stick the knife in and twist!
Unnecessary. A little tact would serve you well on occassions, Ann.

now running
another grieving mother, a different response
mentions the death of the ultra-terrorist Al-WhoWasitAnyway
and Ann's new book, the grieving WhinoRats, and her son, a true American Hero
She's right, of course. Liberal media outlets put the widows and Cindy Sheehan types out there as having a greater moral right to speak for this country and to run foreign policy if they're against Bush). If anyone dares to point out the obvious...that this is ridiculous...they're branded as mean-spirited, or in Coulter's case, vilified, and have to travel with bodyguards.
Coulter did not slam 9/11 widows.
She slammed four particular 9/11 widows.
Actually, she slammed four particularly vicious political opportunists who also happen to be 9/11 widows.
There is no way Coulter should apologize for this. She is performing a public service.
I noticed further into the article that Newsday decided to sanitize Ann's response to Hillary by eliminating any reference to the rape and fondling comments she made.
"I'm here because I consider Ann Coulter the most evil woman in America," Weintraub said. "She says Jews are responsible for the Holocaust. ... This woman is just plain sick."
Above is an excerpt from the article. Where do people get this crap?
I posted this in another thread regarding her comments on the "Jersey Girls" since that seems to be the thing most people who are offended take issue with...I hope anyone who has read it doesn't mind seeing it again, I got an unusual amount of positive feedback with this post, and I thought it might help others come to grips with this issue. This is how I feel about it.
I agree completely with Ann Coulter's characterization of those women.
There is a line by Robert Duvall's character in the movie "Open Range" that I really like:
"Good health to them that has it comin'..."
I believe in giving people respect in life on the basis of their station, experiences or rank. I grew up in military family, and we were taught to address men as "Sir" and women as "Ma'am", and responding had to say "Yes Sir" or "Yes Ma'am". I understood the concept of rank and chain of command.
The point is, if you meet a military person, you give them respect BECAUSE they are in the military. If you meet an elderly person, you give them respect BECAUSE they have lived a lot longer than you have. If you meet someone who has lost a loved one, you treat them with respect and deference BECAUSE they have suffered. All this is done without a single qualifying action on the part of the person. They don't, and shouldn't ASK for your respect and deference, the right thing, in the abscence of ANY other qualifying factor, is to grant them special treatment by default.
However, if people show, through their words and deeds, that they are not worthy of that default respect, there is NO reason whatsoever to grant that to them, in my opinion.
Benedict Arnold served his country brilliantly, but lost his right to default respect when he turned traitor.
John Kerry wore the uniform of the US Naval Service, and disgraced it. He is not worthy of default respect.
John Murtha served as a Marine. If anyone is worthy of respect by default, it is any person who makes it through Marine Basic Training to become a Marine. He has shown through his words and deeds, he is unworthy of the title Marine.
Ted Kennedy is a Senator, the very title should command respect by default. He has shown himself to be an enemy of everything this Republic stands for, through his legislative actions and slanderous personal attacks on an honorable man who is too classy to fight back.
Helen Thomas is an elderly person, a woman, and someone who has risen in her field to a position of prominence. She should be entitled to deference, but her vicious partisan attacks have discarded any protection those attributes should have provided her. She made a choice.
The best example of this is Cindy Sheehan. Who would dream of disrespecting a woman who has lost her son in the defense of his country? Never in a million years would I have done so, in usual times. But these are not ususal times. She has become a Useful Idiot for the antiwar left, she has used her son (who apparently had a polar opposite point of view on these things than his mother does) as a prop and a tool, and his coffin as a soapbox. She has disgraced everything her son stood for, for her own personal aggrandizement.
I feel EXACTLY the same way about these four women. Anyone who has heard them speak, seen them appearing in the venues they have, to push their political agendas, realizes they have voluntarily surrendered their default deference and respect to pursue a partisan political agenda. It has been their choice to do so.
... Ann Coulter, listening to [small, whiny, sniveling] Huntington Town Councilman, Mark Cuthbertson, as he denounces statements made in her book "Godless: the Church of Liberalism" while Coulter was making an appearance at the Book Revue Bookstore in Huntington, L.I. on Wednesday.
...Ann Coulter spares the whiny sniveling councilman by ripping up the letter, rather than tearing him a "new one".
He does not know how lucky he is.
This is not a criticism of Ann, but am I the only one who thinks she takes what Rush has said for years and transferred those thoughts into book format?
