9-11 Be-atches!
Conservative author Ann Coulter sparked a storm on Wednesday after describing a group of September 11 widows who backed the Democratic Party as millionaire “witches” reveling in their status as celebrities.
“I’ve never seen people enjoying their husbands’ deaths so much,” Coulter writes in her book “Godless: The Church of Liberalism,” published on Tuesday, referring to four women who headed a campaign that resulted in the creation of the September 11 Commission that investigated the hijacked plane attacks.
Coulter wrote that the women were millionaires as a result of compensation settlements and were “reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis.”
A spokeswoman for publisher Crown Forum said it had set a first print run of 1 million copies of “Godless” and there were 1.5 million copies of Coulter’s previous four books in print.
She criticized them for making a campaign advertisement for
Democratic presidential candidate Sen.John Kerry in 2004, and
added: “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.”Asked by Reuters why she made such personal comments,
Coulter said by e-mail, “I am tired of victims being used as
billboards for untenable liberal political beliefs.”“A lot of Americans have been seething over the inanities
of these professional victims for some time,” she added.Coulter, a regular television commentator who is hugely
popular among some conservatives, was challenged on NBC’s
“Today” show on Tuesday over what host Matt Lauer called
“dramatic” remarks, prompting her to say, “You are getting
testy with me.”Coulter is known for a combative column after September 11
saying, “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders
and convert them to Christianity.” In one book, she wrote,
“Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do.”Man, Is She RIGHT! [KaptainSteve]
