of just attacking Ann Coulter personally rather than arguing her points. And they have a point, I did attack Ann Coulter, of course this is exactly what Ann Coulter DOES. Since when is calling 9/11 widows "the witches of East Brunswick" a cogent intellectual argument? Or is wishing that Timothy McVeigh had bombed the "New York Times building instead", an elevation of political discourse? Or my personal favorite, saying of the Arab world, "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity"(actually I think this is what the Bush Administration has in mind in Iraq, but I digress). While some undoubtedly think starting the tenth Crusade to the Holy Land is a good idea; this kind of comment suggests a level of xenophobia and insensitivity that seems more appropriate of a German soccer hooligan than an American political pundit. As for her most recent comments, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much." How does she know? Has she actually talked to the 9/11 widows? And why didn't she address the widows' concerns, which consisted of asking for an honest assessment of what OUR government was doing to protect us. She didn't ask that question, she just attacked their grief instead. In short if people felt I didn't give Coulter's arguments a fair shake, tough, I gave them the same consideration that Coulter herself gives everyone else's.
