Ann Coulter Banned in New Jersey?
Two New Jersey Democrats are pushing to have Ann Coulter's new book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," banned from all bookstores in their state because she criticized four 9/11 widows known as "the Jersey Girls."
In a joint press release issued Friday, New Jersey Assemblywomen Joan Quigley and Linda Stender say they want New Jersey retailers to "ban the sale of [Coulter's] book throughout the state."
"Ann Coulter's criticism of 9-11 widows, whose only desire since the attacks have been to repair their shattered lives and protect other families from the horrors they have experienced, is motivated purely by petty greed and hate," the two Democrats complained.
"Coulter's vicious characterizations and remarks are motivated by greed and her desire to sell books . . . She is a leech trying to turn a profit off perverting the suffering of others."
Quigley and Stender conclude:
"No one in New Jersey should buy this book and allow Ann Coulter to profit from her hate-mongering. We are asking New Jersey retailers statewide to stand with us and express their outrage by refusing to carry or sell copies of Coulter's book. Her hate-filled attacks on our 9-11 widows has no place on New Jersey bookshelves."

Dude, if you see the benefits of conservatism, and support conservatism, you are a conservative.
You do not have to be a creationist or a Christian to be a conservative.
What would you post if you couldn't post personal attacks?
Coulter v State of New Jersey ?
The Free Speech clause is for the speech you don't like.
I dare the N.J fascists...
DEMOCRATS: "I was in favor of the First Amendment before I was Against it."
I went to Dalton (Barnes and Noble) bookshop yesterday, hoping to find her book on the "latest best seller" shelves. It was not there, but I found it well hidden in the back rows under Current Affairs. They did show their far left bias on the bestseller shelf by showing a new, terrible anti-Bush book. Time to avoid these commies!
Someone help me out ... maureen dowd spoke of someone who had unassailable 'moral credibility' wrt a Bush issue, and I forget who it was, but your comment struck a chord. Was it Valerie Plame she said it for?
This game has been played since the Clinton years, even before. The "victims" game gets played because it works.
I think Ann, as usual, did go too far, but if she stuck to careful and more measured explanation of what the game is here, and how liberals abuse facts and emotions for their ends, well, she would have a big selling book. In many ways, Ann is one who serves liberals a taste of their own medicine, and we end up with half the conservatives shocked taht we stoop to that level and half gratified to see liberals apoplectic over her comments, knowing that liberals trash us every day in the same way and don't even notice it.
And you think her statements are tastless, why? The truth hurts, but it is also accurate in the case of the four NJ witches.
I still don't know anyone who says "joisey." But then, my friends aren't soprano-types (even my Italian friends).
I have no idea what you mean by Spanish words.
New Jersey Freepers!!! Unite!! and attack all leftist Democrat Scum in the House of Congress,,especially those two Democrat GORGONS from your State!!!
slam them by E-mails and phone calls...Lets GO freepers!!!
New Jersey freepers write letters to Editors and demand the Recall of those 2 Democrat HAGS from New Jersey.....
Don't forget New York!!!!!
They(New Jersey DemonRats)prove Ann's points EXACTLY!Also,they demonstrate their similarities to Nazisim and TOTALITARIANISM in general!!
Exactly.
If they continue with their censorship ban, I will hold a rally to burn liberal books at their houses.
But the books can't be lit until they are in their homes.
I will raise hell here in New Jersey. And I'm sure I won't be alone.
We can do it but most of it will be ignored. We live in a one party corrupt state.
But thank God for the FBI. They are locking up as many as they can.
In Hudson County, right across from Manhattan, the whole Democratic Party structure is turning on itself. So many have been involved in the continous corrupt practices.
It wouldn't go to court, because it would not be legislation.
You don't understand how things happen in New Jersey.
The Barnes & Nobles and Borders bookstore chains (among others) will simply be made to understood that life in New Jersey would be easier for them if they, in a private business decision, declined to stock the book. Large bookstore chains, like any other large business, tend to need to interact with government entities. They need zoning approvals to construct/expand stores. They get into tax disputes that need to get reasonably resolved. And so on.
You must come to understand how Democrats do business
(I suspect that Ann can handle these pea brains)
Your socialism is showing again (still?)
