I really don't think she needs the money and I do believe she believes every word she writes. She is anti-liberal and that is the gist of her writings.

I fought in a war that the "far-left" said was all about oil prices. Well...Al Gore (specifically made statements) and Barbara Boxer (who is about as bright as a box of hair) can kiss my patriotic red/white/blue ass!!! I was only in country for about 1 week when I KNEW what I was fighting for...I talked to Kuwaiti refugees who told me about their relatives being shot for being "political"...their daughters being raped by soldiers to force the families to rat out insurgents....I saw a little boy who had his hand slammed in a door repeatedly. I was fighting against "evil"...its not something that is arbitrary...not something that is "up to the individual to define"...Bad is bad and Good is good and EVERY person is born with at least a small notion of the difference.
I say that to point out that it was "politically expedient" for certain members of political parties and certain radio "heads" to try and paint themselves as intellectuals and "whole-world thinkers". THEIR agenda and political future became more important than truth!
Ann Coulter is no different..just opposite sides of the political spectrum. She is trying to sell a book....period. I have no love for wifes of 911 victims, who appear in political ads...TACKY!....DISRESPECTFUL!....but words ARE weapons and Ann Coulter very often needs to put away her tanks and use a pistol when making a point. HOWEVER ...please dont use Al Franken and his empty bag of gummi bears that he calls literature as a means to prove a point.
No one person speaks for any political party...No one person can speak for all individuals... An opportunistic Ann Coulter no more speaks for the Republican party than the lying, thiefing Hillary Clinton represents Democrats...nor for that matter...does a group of idiotic illiterate fanatics (who probably should try READING the Bible, instead of placing the doctrine of men above the Doctrine of God) represent the Baptist faith.
It is up to US to use a small portion of discernment when reading/listening to any person whos job relies on our willingness to open our pocketbook.

Wow Lamberts, nice post! I couldn't agree more.

I would like to add that IMO when victims of a tragedy make a decision to go public in expressing their political viewpoints, they open themselves up to political scrutiny as well. I don't think that their "pain" gives them a pass for others not to publicly disagree and even question their motives. While I don't necessarily appreciate all of the comments that Ann Coulter has made, or the methods that she uses to express them, I do agree with many of her ideals.

yes, they open themselves to political scutiny. They do not open themselves up to have their marriages ridiculed or to have it said they enjoyed the deaths of their husbands.
Why is the line that was crossed so difficult for people to understand?

I'm assuming that since you used my words, you think that I don't understand. If so, then specifically, I would not have said what she did about their marriages or deaths. I have no clue what is in their hearts when they close their doors at night. But, when they use their tragic circumstances as a platform to air their political views, they do make themselves a target. People will and do go after political figures in very personal ways every day. I'm not saying I agree, just that it happens on all sides of the aisle. After all, not everybody is as sweet as this STEELER girl!

ok then, since Nancy Reagan aired her political views on the stem cell research issue, its obvious that she enjoyed Reagans death. I also hear he hated her anyway and was thinking of divorcing her before he became incapacitated. Shes ugly too.

Hey, shes a fair target, right?

Try not putting the "literal" magnifying glass on the words "they enjoyed the deaths of their husbands" and try to understand the underlying context in which she intended the statement.
