Why is the news media giving Ann Coulter all this free publicity
Yes, she stepped over the line. Duh! She always does so what else is new?

Give her what she deserves - abject silence. Her worst nightmare is to be ignored.

1. Have you seen the Widows she is attacking on any shows?
I sure haven't. You can bet if a democrat had said some crazy shit like this bitch did (am I lowing the standard for bitch) they would have the 9/11 widows on with flags waving.

2. That is what she wants.
The more controversy, the more free publicity she gets for her book.

4. proabaly for the same reason
everyone here keeps talking about her?... :shrug: about 20 threads between here & GD about her. That'll really help with the google search engines on a search for her name. Why does anyone even give her a second thought here?

6. Exactly - all they're doing is helping her sell more books
That's exactly why she put this outrageous comment in her book in the first place!

11. It's because she's an asshole.
Assholes always get the most publicity. Guaranteed or your money that you gave to the cable company back.
