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."

"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?"
"Even better, it was Mother Sheehan."
THAT'S RIGHT!!!
Fodder for the 'memory vault'... so 'she of the invincible moral credibility' because she was a 'victim' (somehow it was her hero son who did all the suffering and dying, but she gets the 'victim' crown), now is out there hobnobbing with Hugo Chavez, says that killing Zarqawi wont do any good, and otherwise being nothing more than an anti-american tool for those who want to drag the US down.
Yes, Mother Sheehan is indeed one of those
Icons in the Church of Liberalism.
Light a votive candle for her.
looking at the list of where FReeper were from, New Jersey has allot for a small state.
That's funny. I'll be buying my first Colter book - I wonder how many others will be buying their first also.

You molest chipmunks. I'm sorry.
Do you have a learning disability, or are you normally this intellectually dishonest.
Nobody is saying beans about people in the public spotlight. We are talking about government officials asking for punitive action against someone who has broken no law, and they are asking it of people who are directly affected by the decisions those government officials make in the performance of their duties.
To Prodn2000: "Do you have a learning disability, or are you normally this intellectually dishonest"
What about both? :)
"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? "
It was Jeff Head who made the comment you quoted. I just added the human shields part. I see where you were provided the answer to your question farther down the thread.
The MO of Liberals, is to rally around victims or veterans of Viet Nam, etc., who are speaking out against Bush, and endow them with Sainthood status. Thereby trying to neuter any and all opposition. Human shields is correct.
I like to give people a choice so they have a chance to save face when they've written something monumentally stupid.
Less hurt feelings that way ;o)
There's nothing contradictory between Gnosticism and Buddhism. I guess you think I should take your prophet's words on faith. I won 't.
American Conservatism has nothing to do with what religion you are, and if Jim thinks so, he is free to kick me out. But I don't think Jim is a bigot, so I'll hang around.
BTW, Hitler was a socialist. If you think Hitler was somehow conservative, you have no idea what conservatism is, and you're the last person who should be the gatekeeper for conservatism.
Oh, since you brought up Hitler first, you lose.
This conversation is over.
LOL! That, without a doubt is one of my favorite lines of all time!
From the article: 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.
They are not creating a law to ban Coulter's book. They are asking for a boycott.
I know Barnes & Noble's Leonard Riggio is a big Dem donor. It'll be interesting to see what that particular big box does, officially or otherwise. I remember checking with some bookstores after the Swift vets book came out. Some bookstores were just not putting it out, putting in the wrong section, or some employees just plead dumb about having it.
The smartest thing the Jersey Girls could've done was keep their yaps shut. That being the case, I'm not surprised they haven't.
And similarly, Freepers have the Constitutional right to respond to such utterances with calls for the the politician's censure and/or removal from office.
