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.
The four women, Kristen Breitweiser, Patty Casazza, Mindy Kleinberg and
Lorie Van Auken, declined to discuss the book in detail but issued a
statement saying they had been slandered.
"There was no joy in watching men that we loved burn alive. There was no
happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming
home again," said the statement signed by the four, along with a fifth
woman, Monica Gabrielle.
The four women, who live in or around East Brunswick, New Jersey, became
friends after September 11 and formed a group that agitated for the
investigation. "Our only motivation ever was to make our nation safer,"
they said.
Coulter, whose books include the bestseller "How to Talk to a Liberal
(If You Must)," argues in the new book the women she dubs "the Witches
of East Brunswick" wanted to blame US President George W. Bush for not
preventing the attacks.
She criticized them for making a campaign advertisement for Democratic
presidential candidate Senator 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 why she made such personal comments, Coulter said, "I am tired of
victims being used as billboards for untenable liberal political
beliefs."

That books was published a little less than a year ago. In other words,
old news. But Ann was right, Democrats use personal tragedy to
innoculate the message. "How can you critcize Cindy Shehan? She lost
her son!" The media ignores the fact that Cindy's son loved America and
reenlisted and instead publish her lies that attack the US and the Army
that her son proudly served in. Same with the 9/11 widows. Their only
claim to fame is that their husbands died on 9/11. If you criticize
their political position, you are insensitive. It's really pathetic
that politics have devolved to this level, but it's where we are now.

davinci couldnt agree more with your comment.
but would like to add, glad someone said it cause i feel the same way,
people who have profitted off their own spouses deaths and then go out
and use the money and 'fame' they received because someone they 'loved'
died is pretty low.
i feel sorry for the loved ones, the rest can go sit on a traffic cone.
