The left-leaning Newsweek magazine lied about what she wrote in her book, an indignant Ann Coulter said during an appearance on Thursday night's Hannity & Colmes show on Fox News Channel.

"I'm sitting in a Fox studio in L.A.," Coulter said. "I don't know why there's a copy of Newsweek here rather than Human Events. Here is Newsweek describing Ann Coulter as saying '9/11 widows enjoyed their [husbands'] deaths.' That is simply a lie . . . That is a lie. If you can't deal with the facts and you refuse to say what the argument is, I think that's a total lack of confidence in your position and it certainly shows a complete lack of understanding [that] Americans can find out the truth these days - that it's not the mainstream media monopoly it was 10 years ago."

>>What Ann wrote about the so-called "Jersey Girls," and not all the other 9/11 widows in "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," was "these self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them, The whole nation was wounded, all our lives were reduced. But they believed the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently denouncing Bush was an important part of their closure process. These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzies. I've never seen people enjoying their husband's deaths so much."

It is this one single paragraph in 310 pages of carefully documented facts that devastate the sacred tenets of the church of liberalism that the liberals and their media allies have seized upon to characterize a very serious book about very serious matters. What did Coulter really say about the other 9/11 widows?

Ann addressed the matter of the hundreds of other 9/11 widows - lines in her book her liberal critics carefully ignore.

She wrote: "A lot of widows support Bush - a lot support Pat Buchanan. But they were not trying to convert their personal tragedy into a weapon to dictate national policy or redesign lower Manhattan. None of the weeping widows issuing demands, I note, were firemen's wives," Coulter observed.

"And how about we hear from some wives of proud fighting Marines? While the professional 9/11 victims turned themselves into the arbiters of what anyone could say about 9/11, some poor woman in Astoria, Queens, was being told her husband died in a car accident. She won't be paid millions of dollars, feted in Vanity Fair, or granted federal commissions to investigate why her husband died." <<

Ann Coulter should know that NewsWeek has no obligation to the truth anymore than the rest of the Leftwing-Liberal Mass Media .

But she did give an interview to NewsWeek magazine a year or so ago and liked the article, but not the front page photo of her, which was distorted !

She should sue NEWSWEEK to demand a correction !

So the lie is "enjoyed" versus "enjoying?"

[ahayes]

Here is Newsweek describing Ann Coulter as saying '9/11 widows enjoyed their [husbands'] deaths.' That is simply a lie . . . That is a lie

Could you please explain to me how else I am supposed to interpret (exact quote), "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' death so much"?

[marc costanzo]

The 'LIE' is that NewsWeek implies that Ann Coulter said to the effect that 9/11 Widows in general were guilty of acting like media whores and opportunizing on their husbands deaths . . .

Ann Coulter was only describing these four Jersey Girls !

[bray]

Ironic that she had to read it in a Waiting Room, the only place you can find those relics.

Read the material I posted above .

If that is not enough, go read the article at its' source at NewsMax !

[popdonnelly]

No, the lie is that Coulter did not say that 9/11 widows enjoyed their husband's deaths. She was talking about the Jersey Girls specifically in her book.

[marc costanzo]

Thank you for clarifying the issue of this thread !

Explain it to you? If your reading comprehension skills are subpar that's your own damn fault.

[KJC1]

Ok, I get it now, sorry.

I doubt she could sue them, though, because the Jersery Girls ARE "911 widows."

[marc costanzo]

>>Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters<<

I pray for all Good Americans .

[ahayes]

Yes, being factually correct is protection from libel charges.

[One_who_hopes_to_know]

THE LIE IS:
Saying that the 9/11 Widows enjoyed their husbands deaths. Ann was actually speaking of these women (The Jersey Girls). Not all 9/11 widows. She went on to say that their were several 9/11 widows that supported Bush.

I hope this helps those not initiated in the art of polemics.

[bray]

Thank You

[MizSterious]

AND it's a lie that is repeated frequently, even on FR. Note the responses you're getting to this article. She spoke the absolute truth about the Jersey Girls and everyone, even some Freepers, are determined to twist it into something it's not.

[ClaireSolt]

How do we put that obnoxious rag out of business?

[TommyDale]

She can sue anyone she wants. This is still America.

[ahayes]

I don't think anyone's daft enough to think that she meant every woman whose husband died.

[marc costanzo]

>>Ok, I get it now, sorry.

She (Ann) should sue or threaten to sue NEWSWEEK, or else this LIBEL will seep into the National Consciousness and the 'lie' will become truth .. . . . . . . . .

Do you "enjoy" the protections of the US Constitution?

Well, yes, even if you are the ACLU wanting to destroy it.
