Massive chip on her Coulter

Ann's vicious screed

BY ADAM LISBERG
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

One of the controversial excerpts from Ann Coulter's new book 'Godless': '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.'
When their husbands were killed on 9/11, four New Jersey widows tried to find out why - and now no-holds-barred conservative pundit Ann Coulter is mercilessly denouncing them as "witches."
"I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much," Coulter writes in her new book.

Her brutal words were challenged yesterday on national television by "Today" host Matt Lauer - and she was slammed by the widows she derided as self-absorbed, limelight-seeking "harpies."

"I'd like her to meet my daughter and tell her how anyone could enjoy their father's death," said Kristen Breitweiser, one of four widows known as the "Jersey Girls."

"She sounds like a very disturbed, unraveled person," added Breitweiser.

In "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," the uncompromisingly right-wing Coulter writes the Jersey Girls have no right to criticize President Bush or any of the failures that led to the terror attacks.

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis," Coulter writes.

"And by the way, how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy. . .

"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."

Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg and Patty Casazza bonded after their husbands died on 9/11, leaving them with seven children and a desire for answers.

They pushed to create the 9/11 commission, which put out a scathing report criticizing the Clinton and Bush administrations for not taking the terrorist threat more seriously - and found New York's emergency response system wasn't prepared for a serious attack.

"Our ports have not been secured. Our borders have not been secured. We still haven't caught [Osama] Bin Laden," Van Auken said yesterday. "She's not even talking about what we were talking about. She's just attacking."

The Jersey Girls - or, as Coulter calls them, "the Witches of East Brunswick" - have been criticized before, but never like this. Van Auken told the Daily News she was stunned by the vitriol.

"Having my husband burn alive in a building brought me no joy," she said. "Watching it unfold on national TV and .seeing it repeated endlessly was beyond what I could describe. Telling my children they would never see their father again was not fun. And we had no plans to divorce."

When Lauer grilled Coulter about the book, she yelled at him so harshly that gasps echoed through Rockefeller Center - and then she made a wisecrack about CBS-bound former host Katie Couric.

"If you lose a husband, you no longer have the right to have a political point of view?" Lauer asked.

As the exchange grew tense, Coulter said, "Look, you're getting testy with me."

She later added: "Hey, where's Katie? Did she leave or something?"

Last night, Coulter didn't back down from bashing the 9/11 widows. "These women got paid. They ought to take their money and shut up about it," Coulter said on MSNBC's "The Situation with Tucker Carlson."

Coulter made headlines in the past when she called for blowing up The New York Times Building, advocated forcing Muslims to become Christians and wrote an entire book that said every American liberal is guilty of treason.

Her controversial writings have made her a best-selling .author and syndicated columnist and put her on the cover of Time magazine. She's made big bucks in the process, buying a $1.5 million condo on the upper East Side.

Politicians of both parties denounced Coulter's comments.

"It's totally inhumane to be saying things like this about people who went through such agony," said Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.).

"It seems that she's just full of anger and hate," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan), who held a news conference yesterday with relatives of 9/11 victims on the country's failure to improve security.

"Like an insecure child, it's always been clear that Ann Coulter is prepared to do anything to get attention," added Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn, Queens). "This is a new low."

Ann Coulter is simply the sickest puppy of them all.... there's a distinction between having strong fundamental political opinions, and just being plain old mean-spirited and spiteful

[Hughman]

She has an audience. She has a Big audience.

People who won't denounce hate are as guilty as the perpertrators. Assessory to the crime, etc.

The Islamic leaders who won't denounce the 911 attacks and Ann Coulter are from the same sewer.

"These women got paid. They ought to take their money and shut up about it [their husbands' death]," Coulter said

that's a comforting thought...

Agreed Norman, but it was not just a slip of the lip these mean-spririted words were written and reviewed by editors and publishers and a whole slew of a pubishing machine was onboard for this mean-spirited and spiteful attack.

It would be interesting, Joe, to see if any of the usual hardcore conservatives would come to her defense here in the bilge. One would think that there are extremes of political thought that are so totally indefensible as to demand harsh condemnation.... I wonder if anyone else thinks that these widows of 9/11 victims are 'enjoying their husband's deaths'?

[Mrleft8]

She doesn't show up on my radar screen until someone points out the annoying little droplet of dried snot off in the corner....

[Keith Wilson]

She makes me embarrassed to be a member of the same species. There are certainly conservatives I respect, but she's simply a wacko - at best. At worst she's an American Fascist.

Yup, you are not goning to get an argument from me on that.

"Her controversial writings have made her a best-selling .author and syndicated columnist and put her on the cover of Time magazine. She's made big bucks in the process, buying a $1.5 million condo on the upper East Side."


This is what it's all about. She's better left ignored.

[Milo Christensen]

She's better left ignored.

What a great pun. Didn't know you were such an able punster.

[JimD]

C'mon, Milo. You can do better than that. This thread is the perfect opportunity to really put your foot in it. Now is the time to show your unreserved support for the lovely Ann.

[Milo Christensen]

In the old bilge, I posted some pictures of Ann with the rifle pointing into her mouth.

[Sea Frog]

I guess they've used her as a guinea pig for diet koolaid?

[LeeG]

Ann, Rush, nuff said

Time for a repost :D

[Meerkat]

Coulter made headlines in the past when she called for blowing up The New York Times BuildingGee, if a mere mortal did something like that, they'd be arressted on suspicion of terrorism. I guess with her republican buckfuddies it's "our girl Anne!" :mad:

Of course, after hanging around with Republicans, maybe she just wanted something bigger to blow. :D

The Wisdom of Ann Coulter







http://x3.extreme-dm.com/n/?tag=nickt&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonmonthly.com%2Ffeature s%2F2001%2F0110.bowman.html&j=y&srw=800&srb=16&l=&rs=41After the September 11 attack masterminded by a terrorist hoping to spark a religious war, virtually every official and pundit knew better than to take the bait. Except for conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who wrote in a syndicated column on September 12 that in responding to terrorists "we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

The column outraged the public, but conservatives, including National Review editor Richard Lowry, ascribed Coulter's column to grief over the loss of a friend in the attacks.

But the following week, Coulter was at it again: "Congress could pass a law tomorrow requiring that all aliens from Arabic countries leave....We should require passports to fly domestically. Passports can be forged, but they can also be checked with the home country in case of any suspicious-looking swarthy males." This time Lowry spiked her column. Coulter responded by calling Lowry and his staff censorious "girly boys." Lowry then dropped her as a contributing editor.

Other conservative leaders also condemned her comments.

What's curious is that Coulter's comments aren't all that different, in tone and style, from hundreds of others she's made over the years. But in the past, her ire was directed at her domestic political enemies---for which she drew fulsome praise from conservatives. Last year, the Media Research Center presented Coulter with its "Conservative Journalist of the Year" award. The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute bestowed upon her its annual conservative leadership award "for her unfailing dedication to truth, freedom and conservative values and for being an exemplar, in word and deed, of what a true leader is."

Coulter is spinning her downfall as a new kind of terrorist-war McCarthyism. "People are hysterical about speech right now," she told The Washington Post's Howard Kurtz. "Everyone's comments are being taken out of context and wildly misinterpreted." At the risk of further de-contextualization, here are some of Coulter's past comments:

"[Clinton] masturbates in the sinks."---Rivera Live 8/2/99

"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"---Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01

On Princess Diana's death: "Her children knew she's sleeping with all these men. That just seems to me, it's the definition of 'not a good mother.' ... Is everyone just saying here that it's okay to ostentatiously have premarital sex in front of your children?"..."[Diana is] an ordinary and pathetic and confessional - I've never had bulimia! I've never had an affair! I've never had a divorce! So I don't think she's better than I am."---MSNBC 9/12/97

"I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote."---Hannity & Colmes, 8/17/99

"Clinton is in love with the erect penis."---This Evening with Judith Regan, Fox News Channel 2/6/00

"If they have the one innocent person who has ever to be put to death this century out of over 7,000, you probably will get a good movie deal out of it."---MSNBC 7/27/97

"The presumption of innocence only means you don't go right to jail."---Hannity & Colmes 8/24/01

"I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly."---MSNBC 3/22/97

"My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism."---MSNBC 2/8/97 "You want to be careful not to become just a blowhard."---Washington Post 10/16/98

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities...." :confused:

"Her controversial writings have made her a best-selling .author and syndicated columnist and put her on the cover of Time magazine. She's made big bucks in the process, buying a $1.5 million condo on the upper East Side." :rolleyes:

Coulter is a very sick woman. It's disturbing that she has an audience large enough to support her lavish lifestyle.

[Don Olney]

Anorexia Warped Self Image 101.

She projects her self loathing onto liberals. That makes her feel better. The more she expresses her hate for liberals, which she defines as loathsome, vile creatures such as herself, the better she feels about herself. As a 40 something never married anorexic hate monger who doesn't have much love in her life, she would know nothing of being married and a relationship with a husband and children. She is so hideous in person, both mentally and physically that I doubt she could even stir up a little romance in Turkish army barracks at midnight.

An Anorexic Creed
by Inanna
Copyright © 2001 by Inanna. All rights reserved.

A concise statement of the rigid perfectionism and self-loathing
that are major factors in eating disorders like anorexia nervosa
and orthorexia nervosa.


I believe in Control, the only force mighty enough to bring order to the chaos that is my world.
I believe that I am the most vile, worthless and useless person ever to have existed on this planet, and that I am totally unworthy of anyone's time and attention.
I believe that other people who tell me differently must be idiots. If they could see how I really am, then they would hate me almost as much as I do.
I believe in oughts, musts and shoulds as unbreakable laws to determine my daily behaviour.
I believe in perfection and strive to attain it.
I believe in salvation through trying just a bit harder than I did yesterday.
I believe in calorie counters as the inspired word of god, and memorize them accordingly.
I believe in bathroom scales as an indicator of my daily successes and failures.
I believe in hell, because I sometimes think that I'm living in it.
I believe in a wholly black and white world, the losing of weight, recrimination for sins, the abnegation of the body and a life ever fasting.
Amen

You get shot fighting for the country they call you a liar; you disrespect widows they make you rich. What a great country. We got our priorities straight. In a country with that screwed up a value system its hard to turn your back on an easy buck. Remember she's an actor not a "conservative commentator".

No, Donn Coulter! :D :D :D

[Peter Malcolm Jardine]

She has a very large audience. That should be the really scary thing.

[Meerkat]

Just saw her on ABC News - she does indeed have a visible adam's apple! :eek:

[sawcutmill]

Ann Coulter could nt possibly have ever had Sex, nor child birth.Its obvious she is very special.Must be the mark of the devil on her body somewhere 666.

[Mrleft8]

Even O'reilly won't support her on this one.

[ishmael]

What MM said. This current controversy, her untoward statements, are an entertainer's way of selling books. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

Why she plays well to some is their problem, and hers...and ours, I suppose.

It's ironic that the same Warhol-esque-fame-seeking she decries in others is exactly what she has been doing for years. It's very difficult to take her seriously as a commentator, no matter how bright she is, or how good her syntax is. And she is both bright and has the ability to turn a phrase.

God save us from our current, shallow hunger for the grotesque. Poor, underfed Ann is laughing all the way to the bank.
