Headline: "Coulter Draws Fire for Bashing 9/11 Widows"
Body: "In her latest book, Coulter criticizes the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed their husbands at the World Trade Center. The women also backed Democrat John Kerry's presidential candidacy in 2004."
Now based upon the headline Ann Coulter might try to call it libel, but if you read the actual article it specifies that it was a group of widows, not the whole bunch of them.
The "Jersey Widows" appellation hasn't caught on, "Jersey Girls" is demeaning and also hasn't caught on. Most people think of these women as 9/11 widows. Since most people think of them as 9/11 widows (albeit politically active ones) and since they are 9/11 widows, Ann Coulter doesn't really have much reason to complain besides the fact that it will boost book sales (if I were her I'd be going after the spotlight as well, just financial commonsense).
WASHINGTON - Ann Coulter, the conservative pundit with a penchant for creating controversy, caused a ruckus when she called 9/11 widows witches and accused them of using their husbands deaths for their own political gain.
It is just the latest of the high-emotion, sharp-rhetoric attacks that she has leveled in four previous books and frequent appearances on cable television programs. Her firebrand style even inspired NBCs The West Wing to create a a blond, Republican sex kitten in her mold.
In her latest book, Coulter criticizes the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed their husbands at the World Trade Center. The women also backed Democrat John Kerrys presidential candidacy in 2004.
Ann sure has her readership nailed.
Here is an exaggeration of why I dont agree with this type of reporting.
