Ann Coulter attacked by 9/11 commissioner

[Grimmlok]

A member of the Sept. 11 commission on Friday lashed out at conservative pundit Ann Coulter for a "hate-filled attack" in saying the widows whose husbands died in the World Trade Center used the deaths for their own political gain.

In her latest book, Coulter criticizes the four New Jersey widows who pushed for an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11, attacks. The women also backed Democrat John Kerry's presidential candidacy in 2004.

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief- arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter wrote.

Former Rep. Tim Roehmer, D-Ind., a member of the commission that investigated the Sept. 11 attacks, called Coulter's "hate-filled attack on the patriotic heroes of 9/12 _ the widows of 9/11 _ reprehensible and undignified."

Roehmer urged people not to buy her book. "Americans shouldn't contribute to her profiting from these vicious remarks."

Rep. Rahm Emmanuel, D-Ill., said Thursday on the House floor that Coulter is a "hatemonger" and called on Republicans to denounce her: "I must ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Does Ann Coulter speak for you when she suggests poisoning not Supreme Court Justices or slanders the 9/11 ... widows? If not, speak now. Your silence allows her to be your spokesman."

Among Coulter's previous statements, she advocated the invasion of non-Christian nations after Sept. 11 and the deportation from the U.S. of "all aliens from Arabic countries." She said American Taliban John Walker should be executed to show liberals what happens to traitors. And she said the only real question about President Clinton was "whether to impeach or assassinate."

Among the most quotable Coulter:

_"To expiate the pain of losing her first-born son in the Iraq war, Cindy Sheehan decided to cheer herself up by engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush's Crawford ranch. ... After your third profile on 'Entertainment Tonight,' you're no longer a grieving mom; you're a C-list celebrity trolling for a book deal or a reality show," Coulter wrote in her TownHall.com column on Aug. 18, 2005.

_"Even if corners were cut, (Iran-Contra) was a brilliant scheme. There is no possibility that anyone in any Democratic administration would have gone to such lengths to fund anti-communist forces. When Democrats scheme from the White House, it's to cover up the president's affair with an intern. When Republicans scheme, it's to support embattled anti-communist freedom fighters sold out by the Democrats," she wrote in 2003's "Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism."

_"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building," The New York Observer quoted her as saying on Aug. 20, 2002. She clarified those remarks with RightWingNews.com: "Of course I regret it. I should have added, 'after everyone had left the building except the editors and reporters.'"

_"After all other suitable office space in Manhattan had dried up _ and also after spending the weekend golfing at an all-white club in Florida _ Clinton announced he would take an office in Harlem. ... As one of my friends remarked, that should be nice: Having escaped a mugging on the way to work, Clinton's female employees will then have to face an accused rapist in the office," Coulter wrote on Feb. 19, 2001.

_"(Liberals) are always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. ... Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment," Coulter said during an Oct. 21, 2005, speech at the University of Florida.

_"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war," Coulter wrote in a column published by the National Review Online on Sept. 13, 2001.

_"The portrayal of Senator Joe McCarthy as a wild-eyed demagogue destroying innocent lives is sheer liberal hobgoblinism. Liberals weren't cowering in fear during the McCarthy era. They were systematically undermining the nation's ability to defend itself while waging a bellicose campaign of lies to blacken McCarthy's name. Everything you think you know about McCarthy is a hegemonic lie. Liberals denounced McCarthy because they were afraid of getting caught, so they fought back like animals to hide their own collaboration with a regime as evil as the Nazis," she wrote in "Treason." (Actually the Bush clan were in leagues with the Nazis. Check your facts, bitch.)

_"Mostly the Witches of East Brunswick wanted George Bush to apologize for not being Bill Clinton," she wrote in "Godless." She was referring to the New Jersey town where two of the Sept. 11 widows live.

_"We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said in a Jan. 27 appearance at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Ark., regarding Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. She later explained she was joking about the justice, whose votes have upheld Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision legalizing abortion.

_"You want to be careful not to become just a blowhard," she said in The Washington Post on October 16, 1998.

Too bad it wasn't with a claw hammer.

My, what a short, refreshing article! I whizzed through it in 37 seconds flat!

Unfortunately, the title of this thread is misleading. I thought she was attacked & beat down until she cried & tee-tee'd herself.

[Grimmlok]

I know, it's called a "hook"

[buttmunch]

I just saw her on Foxnews and strangely enough, they were giving her a serioius tongue lashing. She tried to defend herself but you could tell she's starting to break. I don't think the dumb cow thought she'd take this sort of verbal bitch-slapping over her idiotic book. Oh, and she has always been and will continue to be a blowhard (in reference to the last comment in the article).

[Sojiita]

^^Hahahaha!!! good! I am glad that even Fox felt compelled to go at her! I hope she breaks! I want sooo bad for this bitch to have a compete breakdown and be mumbling to herself..locked away in a far away institution...bound in heavy chains....

Bitch is crazy but the far left liberal socialists are worse.

[ohmygoodness]

^^

I thought you were leaving?

[MgMMD]

Yea she was taking her barbies and NEVER COMING BACK.

How are they worse? They're not espousing hatred or preaching isolationism and exlusionary politics like the right-wing fundies/fascists are.

Also, they tend to do research -- gather facts/evidence -- to back up what they say. The "left" -- I don't like labels, so I support critical thinkers of any stripe -- was against Vietnam, against Iraq -- and guess what? We were right. Rational thought and facts win the day every time, not patriotic fervour and blind emotion in the form of "anyone who doesn't agree with my extreme position is a terrorist."

These people are systematically destroying the United States and if you think the good people of our country are going to continue biting down on a stained towel, you're living in a socialists wet dream. All you have to do is look at some of their stock portfolios that have been made public to know they'll lead you down a path that leads to nowhere but their servants quarters. Stick with these people and you'll watch how quickly the power is taken from the people:

Nancy Pelosi
Barbara Boxer
J. Murtha
John Kerry
Al Gore
Ted Kennedy and clan
Ruth Ginsburg
Wolf Blitzer
Christianne Amanpour
Lynn Woolsey

Love how you take the us vs. them approach ranting about "these people". Well, these people are far less dangerous than the reprobates in control of our country now, who have led us down a path of destruction. By the way, last weekend you were pouting that you were going to take your marbles and run home, but apparently you're having such a blast you decided to hang around here for awhile.

You can take YOUR marbles and go run around in circles.

I think it adds to the interest of the board if we have diverse viewpoints. If we all agree all the time, it's like one big circle jerk.

Last time I checked those people were'nt socialists and were'nt attacking 9/11 widows and sugggesting that Muslim countries should be bombed and converted to christianity.

Besides, most conservatives that I've debated with on other forums have all said that she's a lunatic and that she represents the far-FAR right of the Republican idealogy. Meaning that she's the worst of the worst in any political POV.

Ann Coulter is batshit insane. End of story.
