Just a heads up, I'm editing my last post where I used a b when I meant to use a w, turning witches into bitches. Sorry my mistake. As far as I know Coulter hasn't referred to the widows as bitches.



As Jay Leno brought up with her, Coulter does refer to them as "broads".

Which I think was done to be irreverently anti-feminist. The notion of one woman referring to other women as "broads".



To expand on your point about Coulter's remark, that she's never seen women who "enjoyed their husbands' deaths" more than the 9-11 widows... I still think that she makes a legitimate point about how the widows have, post-9-11, prostituted their husbands' deaths in the pursuit of their own political agenda and celebrity, and have attacked others while using their widow status to deter any criticism of their attacks on Bush.
And I think Coulter makes a necessary point in answering these widows' political attacks, and the "beyond reproach" status they and the Democrats who exploit them hide behind.

Is it a valid point that needed to be made, in answer to the "beyond reproach" liberal tactic used repeatedly over the last two years (by the 9-11 widows, Cindy Sheehan, Murtha, Clarke, Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame, etc.) ?
Yes, it is a valid and necessary point, that needed to be made.

Could Coulter have made the same point with less inflammatory remarks?
Sure.

Is Coulter trying to win converts with her remarks, or just talking to the conservative base who already believe what she believes?
I think we can agree she's largely just talking to her base.

And that's the only complaint I have with her remarks, is that while she makes a legitimate point, it gives liberals space to circumnavigate her point, and focus on something else in her commentary, in order to bypass her point.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
