I honestly think that a person as REPULSIVE as this woman should not be allowed out of her home, much become a prominent public figure. This is all too indicative of FASCIST, RACIST, XENOPHOBIC EXTREME RIGHT-WING IDEALOGY. Let's do some serious damage to this reign of idiocy right now! I call on everyone to BOYCOTT HER BOOKS, any radio/TV appearances, and ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD ALLOW this despicable person TO PROFIT AND/OR REMAIN IN THE PUBLIC EYE. Here are examples of her 'wit and wisdom': On TERRORISM: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." "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." On FORMER PRESIDENT CLINTON: "[Clinton] masturbates in the sinks."---Rivera Live 8/2/99 "If you don't hate Clinton and the people who labored to keep him in office, you don't love your country."---George, 7/99 "We're now at the point that it's beyond whether or not this guy is a horny hick. I really think it's a question of his mental stability. He really could be a lunatic. I think it is a rational question for Americans to ask whether their president is insane."---Equal Time "It's enough [to be impeached] for the president to be a pervert."---The Case Against Bill Clinton, Coulter's 1998 book. "Clinton is in love with the erect penis."---This Evening with Judith Regan, Fox News Channel 2/6/00 On ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: "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 the DEMOCRATIC PARTY and ALL POLITICAL OPPOSITION: The "backbone of the Democratic Party" is a "TYPICAL FAT, IMPLACABLE WELFARE RECIPIENT"---syndicated column 10/29/99 "The thing I like about Bush is I think he HATES LIBERALS."---Washington Post 8/1/00 On Rep. Christopher Shays (d-CT) in deciding whether to run against him as a Libertarian candidate: "I really want to hurt him. I want him to feel pain."---Hartford Courant 6/25/99 "The SWING VOTERS---I like to refer to them as the IDIOT VOTERS because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a CONSERVATIVE IF YOU HAVE THE IQ ABOVE A TOASTER. "---Beyond the News, Fox News Channel, 6/4/00 "My LIBERTARIAN FRIENDS are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they NEVER APPRECIATE THE BENEFITS OF LOCAL FASCISTS."---MSNBC 2/8/97 "You want to be careful not to become just a blowhard."---Washington Post 10/16/98 TO A DISABLED VIETNAM VET: "People like you CAUSED US TO LOSE that war."---MSNBC "Women like Pamela Harriman and Patricia Duff are basically Anna Nicole Smith from the waist down. Let's just call it for what it is. They're whores."---Salon.com 11/16/00 Juan Gonzales is "Cuba's answer to Joey Buttafuoco," a "miscreant," "sperm-donor," and a "poor man's Hugh Hefner."---Rivera Live 5/1/00 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 On VOTING: "I think there should be a LITERACY TEST and a POLL TAX for people to vote."---Hannity & Colmes, 8/17/99 on WOMEN'S RIGHTS: "I think WOMEN should be armed but SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO VOTE."---Politically Incorrect, 2/26/01 on the LEGAL SYSTEM: "I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don't need any more." ASKED HOW FAR BACK SHE WOULD GO TO REPEAL LAWS, SHE REPLIED, "Well, before the New Deal...THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION would be a good start."---Politically Incorrect 5/7/97 "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 On the DEATH PENALTY: "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 On SCHOOL SHOOTINGS: "If those kids had been carrying guns they would have gunned down this one [child] gunman. ... DON'T PRAY. LEARN TO USE GUNS"---Politically Incorrect, 12/18/97 on ANN COULTER HERSELF: "Originally, I was the only female with long blonde hair. Now, they all have long blonde hair."---CapitolHillBlue.com 6/6/00 "I AM EMBOLDENED BY MY LOOKS TO SAY THINGS REPUBLICAN MEN WOULDN'T."---TV Guide 8/97 "Let's say I go out every night, I meet a guy and have sex with him. Good for me. I'm not married."---Rivera Live 6/7/00 on EATING DISORDERS: "ANOREXICS NEVER HAVE BOYFRIENDS. ... That's one way to know you don't have anorexia, if you have a boyfriend."---Politically Incorrect 7/21/97 "I think [Whitewater]'s going to prevent the First Lady from running for Senate."---Rivera Live 3/12/99 "My track record is pretty good on predictions."---Rivera Live 12/8/98 On 9/11 WIDOWS: These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husbands death so much.

Ann Coulter is messed up. Whether it is right or wrong, she is laughing all the way to the bank. The funny thing is that she is criticising others for cashing in. However, it is wrong to suppose that there is a widows club out to make money out of their dead husbands. I will return her book if someone gave it to me. I thought America promoted and stood for, free speech, not hatred. This woman gets away with that (and so does Michael Moore). Why can't we have a middle party?

Many of our soldiers are Christians yet they know that you must fight, and, yes, even kill, their enemy sometimes. This country was founded on Christianity, yet this country was fought for in many a bloody battle. One can be a Christian and still have the foresight to know that if we were all peace loving passifists we'd lose our country and the terrorists would win. The simple fact is that we must kill our enemy whether we are Christian or not. And we should be able to speak our mind, just as Ann has done, whether we are Christian or not. The Left's so called 'Christians' have no problem calling Bush a terrorist or a Nazi. Does that sound very Christian to you?? Yet it is done everyday. Bill Clinton---BIG CHRISTIAN....and womanizer, liar, and only Hillary knows what else. Plus the Left advocates abortion. I don't know about you, but somehow that seems to be EXTREMELY unChristianlike to me.

Go, Anne, Go! Expose the left for what they are and darn the torpedoes! The left can call Republicans fascists, bigots, racists, and every other name in the book, but when Anne gives back some of what they dish every day, they run and whine to the waaaahmbulance of their "moral outrage" and cry on tv and everywhere else.

Did someone say that Ann Coulter is a Christian? What an insult! She is not talented, she is not a Christian and all she does is talk a bunch of negative, hateful crap to get attention. I think she's a anorexic on pills and people who pay her any attention are just giving her gas to keep her going. I wish she'd just go away. She's no one special. Typical idiot who didn't get enough attention as a child. I don't even know if she believes half of what she is saying. Hey Ann, Go Away! You've embarassed yourself enough.

Ann Coulter is a perfect example of why people around the world have a hatred of america, No compassion but self greed drives ann, She claims to be a christian but i see no evidence of that, with the comments she has made about those women or when she made the comment about korea or the middle east. To Quote ann coulter

"I think we ought to nuke North Korea right now just to give the rest of the world a warning. ... Theyâ??re a major threat. I just think it would be fun to nuke them and have it be a warning to the rest of the world."

To quote her again

"I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo."

Can anyone or even ann explain how that is christian ?
This woman does america no favours and this kind of attitude by her and other americans will be americas downfall. Super powers come and go throughout history, are you willing to loose that status because of ignorance from people with attitudes like ann coulter?
This post is not made by an american i am from the UK and i am not siding with any of your political partys, nor am i anti america, my comments are made from what and how the rest of the world perseives as americans attitudes and ignorance.

In my personal opinion this book is an attempt for her to make money. Controversy sells and that is what she wants. The widows are only a small percentage of the people morning for the loss of a love one. She really needs to re-evaluate her motives and take her energy and use it for something more positive. If she lost a love one she wouldn't have even wrote this novel. Ann aka Ignorant Bitch. Please take your foot out of your mouth.

I am a conservative and I cannot stand Ann Coulter. Her comments on the 9/11 widows are reprehensible. The sad thing is that most conservatives on here will claim to have a faith in God. So I ask: What would Jesus Do???
He would not have been insenstive and state that the widows enjoy their husbands' deaths.

Random House is promoting FREE SPEECH...or rather, I'm sorry, it's only free speech when Al Gore, Hilliary, Bill, Michael Moore, Al Franken, John Murtha, or John Kerry do it. They say whatever they want and all who support them say oh, it's ok, they have the right to free speech. But, let one conservative give it right back and oh, no!! it's just disgraceful that they would even publish such hateful things. Our military defends the freedoms of this country so that all the lefty snakes can slither around on their bellies and bad mouth America, Bush, and the cause to fought terrorism. As for abortion and the death penalty--sorry! not even in the same league. It's tough to speak of beautiful, loving, defensless, precious little babies in the same breath as malicious, terror driven, evil, murderers. Do I support the death penalty? Damn right. Do I support abortion? No. I'm not a baby killer which obviously means I'm not a Democrat.

When is someone going to comment on Random House's complicity in this disgusting Ann Coulter business? Would Bennett Serf have published such trash when he was head of the company? I doubt it. The fact that Coulter's books continue to get published and lavishly promoted by a "major" publisher shows how corrupted our entire society has become by craven, capitalism a la REPUBLICANs. They don't care about the environment, human life [witness Iraq both military and civilian death] or anything but greed. They care not at all for religious perspectives except to the extent that they can use them to stay in power and feed their greed. They advertise "abortion" opposition as a pro-life stance. It is not about "life" but "choice." IF they truly cared about human life they would oppose capital punishment and avoid instead of provoking war. Random House should be ashamed for supporting such values and we all should boycott buying their titles.

First of all, are you sending out some secret code because your text is a bit, shall we say, unable to be understood with all the question marks. Obviously, now you not only feel it necessary to comment on Ann Coulter's accurate statements but also on my feelings toward 9-11. The fact is certain people feel that they 'own' that horrible day in AMERICA'S history. Many families also want more say than other people when it comes to the monuments erected. Many times I read where the families are demanding to know why they weren't informed of this or that. My point, which I think I made quite well, was that no, they do not 'own' that day. It happened to AMERICA and I felt it just as deeply. Believe me, you don't have to lose someone to feel the horrible grief that accompanies it. My heart is still broken. This happened to my country and I have every right, just as the families, to feel as I do. As for Republicans doing a better job as keeping America safter, one needs only to scan history and Bill Clinton's time as President in general. This man no only did not keep us safe, since all Democrats want to do is cut the military, but he also could not adequately respond to the attacks that took place when he was President. All I can say is that following 9-11 I said a 'thank you' to God that Al Gore wasn't President. Personally, I think that says it all.

Seems to me that Ann Coulter is doing exactly what sheâ??s accused these women of doing by focusing on their status as widows rather than debating their arguments. And she evaded responding to Matt Lauerâ??s point that never have these widows (or anyone else) denied an open discussion or claimed that dissenters are not allowed to respond to them.
It is true that some politicians may try to selfishly use the widowsâ?? personal tragedies to strengthen their own positions, but this does not curtail anyoneâ??s ability to debate or disagree with them on the issues. Any person who consequently responded by accusing someone of questioning the widowsâ?? â??authenticityâ?? would themselves be committing a logical fallacy.

I suggest that it is their own inability to respond to criticism honestly and rationally that fuels the resentment of Ann and people like her, casuing them to instead assert a liberal â??doctrine of infallibility.â??
Case in point:

â??9-11 happened to AMERICA, not just the victims. I remain sick over it and resent that I am made to feel that I have no right to feel as such because I didnâ??t lose someone.â??

I donâ??t know who or what has â??madeâ?? this person feel she has no right to be sick over 9/11, but it struck me that she is unable to appropriate the tragedy for all of America without referencing the actual victims of that day â?? the injured and those who died terribly and the families they left behind. While 9/11 did indeed affect all Americans deeply and changed our world forever, there are many who experienced the events of that day first-hand and those who will grieve forever the loss of their loved ones. Given the right-wing claim that conservatives are the only ones capable of protecting America from terrorists, when those who have experienced personally the horrors and consequences of terrorism oppose their policies and the war in Iraq, it undermines their self-righteous, fear-mongering rhetoric.
Disagreeing with the 9/11 widowsâ?? views is understandable and conscionable, but calling them â??self-obsessedâ?? â??broads,â?? claiming they are enjoying their husbandsâ?? deaths, and relegating their denouncement of George Bush as part of the â??closure processâ?? is a dishonest argument that is in fact quite despicable.
Everyone is allowed an opinion and has the right to express it, not just â??expertsâ?? like Ann Coulter.

I saw Ann the other night on Hannity & Colmes and I couldn't agree with you more. I, too, am sick of the Cindy Sheehans of the world and now, it appears, Michael Berg's father. His son was beheaded by al-Zarqawi yet he likens Bush to zarqawi's level saying that Bush is the bigger terrorist---and this man BEHEADED his son!! So, are we not suppose to question Mr. Berg's reasoning because his son died? I mean you can, but we all know that we would be labeled as insensitive and cruel because this man lost his son. The Left snakes use this as a means to not be questioned and it's only because they can't stand the truth that they attack Ann Coulter when she unmasks them for what they are.
