Coulter calls 9/11 widows "witches"
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Conservative author Ann Coulter sparked a storm on Wednesday after describing a group of September 11 widows who backed the Democratic Party as millionaire "witches" reveling in their status as celebrities.
"I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter writes in her book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," published on Tuesday, referring to four women who headed a campaign that resulted in the creation of the September 11 Commission that investigated the hijacked plane attacks.
Coulter wrote that the women were millionaires as a result of compensation settlements and were "reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis."

Is this a political comment, or a way to sell some books, I wonder.

I dislike both. Ann is following the path of Moore in the sense that she feels the need the push the envelope further than before with each book she releases.

I rarely get involved in political debates, but I feel the need to weigh in with this one.
The woman offended me with her apperenence on the Today show. Between her comments about the 9-11 widows and other comments, like Democrats aren't religious, shes just stepping over a line with me. And its a pretty deep line. I'm a public school teacher, it takes a lot to offend me.

Ditto. I saw her on the Today show also and was offended also. She is an extremist and extremists always offend me, whether liberal or conservative.

He's fat. She's thin.
He's ugly. She's pretty (well, kind of)
He's way far left. She's way far right.
They should get married. Their kid would be the perfectly average scitzo.

I think she overdid it this time.

She went way over the line, but there's definitely a grain of truth in what she's saying. (See: Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh, etc. Different dress, same pig.)

You mean they actually can be criticised? People that create political ads are not above comments from others?
Michael Moore products are based solely on lies. It's not about half truths or exaggerations. Right now he is being sued for millions by a veteran who lost both his arms in Iraq for portraying him as against the war.
And once again Brandon, you only come on to post something against conservatives. Whether or not we agree with Ann or like her doesn't matter but the fact that you keep posting this stuff is ridiculous. Once again, get a life.

She stepped over the line on this one. I'm over the whole "everything in our lives should revolve around the tragedy of 9/11" bit, but it WAS a tragedy. She had no right to talk about the wives of those killed like that.
I knew I disliked for at least 1 reason...

Our society is so fame-crazy that no matter how you get it, if you get it, even in the most hideous of circumstances, you can't help but to think at least a little bit "Hey, cool. I'm famous."
