9/11 Commissioner Criticizes Coulter...

9/11 commissioner criticizes Coulter

"(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


By PHILIP ELLIOTT, Associated Press WriterFri Jun 9, 3:53 PM ET

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, 2001, 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 Roemer, 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."

1. Hey Ann.....
You mannish fucking freak...do the world a favor and die. If you can't be courteous enough to do that, then at the very least SHUT THE FUCK UP! As in quit talking. Your books are hilariously one note. "LIBERALS ARE BAD BECAUSE THEY DON'T AGREE WITH ME" :grr: blah blah blah.....book after book after book(oh look kids, another tome destined for the remainder bin). You're a one trick pony with a face like a horse's ass. You're a putrid, obnoxious hate-filled bag of monkey pus. Too bad you weren't with your buddy on 9/11. At least there'd been one less ass kissing piece of shit in the world. Let's be honest....who would have missed you? There's always another mouthpiece for der bushie waiting in the wings. Look at Glenn Beck...a more effeminate version of you. Or the evil little turd Malkin. Never a shortage of cunt bags like yourself. When you look at yourself in the mirror (you know, to check to see if the mustache is bleached enough) does it hit you how much you have sold out this country? Do you have enough of a soul left to care? I doubt it.

5. So you're saying you're not a fan of Coulter?
Welcome to DU!

Nice rant! I bet you were hitting on your keyboard pretty hard when you wrote that.

6. As much as I can't stand Ann Coulter I have to give her credit.
I think she, like other big-mouthed right-wing hate mongers, understand that their job is to make themselves the issue, rather than what it really should be. Instead of discussing the sad state of the Bush Administration's failures in making the changes needed to make sure our country is safe, Coulter has made herself the topic of discussion.

I do believe that it is right to defend the honor of the women widowed because of 9/11. I think all of us who care about respect and common decency also have the right to be angry with her, as well as those like her in the media, who treat other people like shit. But I worry that the issue has become about these despicable hacks who spew this kind of vile rhetoric, rather than on what it should be.

The 9/11 widows have made valid points about Bush's failures since that fateful day. They have put their own time, energy, and money, into making people aware that we are a country still at risk because Bush has tossed aside the most essential aspects of the 9/11 commission's recommendations. Instead of discussion the issues the widows have brought up, Coulter has got us discussing what a soul-less bitch hoar she is for saying the disgusting things she does. And you know who is most happy about that? The damn Bush administration because no one is talking about what a bunch of fuck-ups they have been.

Is use her words against her.
Yes it may be underhanded, yes it may not be kosher to some, but this is a "Gift". The Democrat leaders have to see this as a "gift". The elections are not that far away...To pick up these womans words and say, "See this is how the Republicans think...this is the true heart of the Republians."

And when they "deny" she is the voice of the Republican platform, you destroy her..and their credibility as well. She is a weapon to be used against them...and a way to help people to start thinking that maybe it be a lot better to have a Democrat in the white house.

Last night on Cnn I saw some guy who supported everything she has said up to now, I don't know if this idiot has read all her words, but if he supports her points of view, and agrees with it, he is just as much a stupid Neocan as Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity. Coulter is the worst of the Neocons. If people believed in what she said, there would be public lynchings just as there were in the South 200 or less years ago.
