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."

Good selling point..
Ummmmm... Ward Churchill, Mikey Moore and so on. Need more be said?
Oh My ..... wouldn't public book burnings provide more entertainment value? After all, we don't want books on our library shelves if they slander certain people or make them feel bad. Nor do we want citizens to be able to go and buy such books. Isn't censorship one of the values we have men fighting for in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Wait just a minute!Aren't The DemonRats ALWAYS screaming BLOODY MURDER about "FREEDOM of THE PRESS"?
In the interests of disclosure, however, I should mention that I am not a fan of Coulter's. Not since I saw her lose a debate last year to Janet Reno - and Reno wasn't exactly a master debater either. While Reno had nothing but platitudes, those platitudes at least formed a coherent argument. Coulter had only insults, some of which made the entire audience gasp.
(Denny Crane: "Every one should carry a gun strapped to their waist. We need more - not less guns.")
THEY(The DemonRats)NEVER DID!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew the stupid apologists were going to show up sooner or later.
Thought of you when I read this. ;0)
That would really teach Coulter a lesson. I remember at the height of the "Divinci Code" ruckus there was a book burning somewhere in Europe. I'm sitting here reading it wondering what kind of message it sent to the author for a bunch of people to BUY his book, then burn it to teach him a lesson.
No, they didn't...and therein lies the stupidity of the "Ann went too far" trolls.
Before you NJ FReepers come here to PA to buy the book, first give your retailers a chance. If they are carrying it, reward them with a purchase.
If they are not offering the book for sale, send them a copy of your receipt from an out state location where you do buy it.
It'll p*** them off and they'll know that they lost a sale.
Heh, heh, hee, hee, heh...
well, then, were you insinuating she slandered?
how is it an embarrassment?
They have got to be kidding. You just can't buy this amount of coverage. Book banning and censorship from the oh-so-"tolerant" left who demand the right to "self-expression" ROTFLOL
Probably just something I picked up from watching too many Hollywood movies. LOL! I really shouldn't believe ANYTHING I see in those things.
