NEW YORK (Reuters) - 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 President George W. Bush for not preventing the attacks.

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."

PERSONAL ATTACKS

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.

Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg (news, bio, voting record) of New Jersey said Coulter's "shameless attack" on the widows sparked disgust. "Her bookselling antics and accompanying vulgarity deserve our deepest contempt," he said in a statement.

The New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News. Corp., slammed the comments in an article on Wednesday headlined: "Righty writer Coulter hurls nasty gibes at 9/11 gals."

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."

Her latest comments were quoted on radio stations in New York on Wednesday and the book was the subject of debate on Web sites such as www.salon.com. The Daily News newspaper's front-page headline was "Coulter the Cruel."

The controversy appeared to be doing no harm to sales of Coulter's latest book, which was listed as the second-best seller of the day at online retailer Amazon.com on Wednesday afternoon.

Her entire deal is to try to get sued, she wants the publicity to sell books.

She makes Rush Limbaugh look balanced and reasoned and Fox News look like it has news.

uno · 06-07-2006, 05:17 PM

It's pretty crazy. My gf asked if she'd ever been on The Daily Show or The Colbert Report. I told her they probably wouldn't want coulter on their shows.

Why she is a regular on Bill Maher's show.

I personally can not stand the majority of the shit she spews but I do respect her. Not often do we get to see many fuck you this is what I really think people. OK correction, fuck you this is what I think and I will say it and not apologize for saying it.

uno · 06-07-2006, 05:37 PM

I'm well aware she's a regular on Bill Maher's show. I think Jon Stewart wouldn't have her on because she's so out there and does nothing to further intelligent discourse, but instead, hinders it.

If you watch TDS you'll see people, especially lately, that have polar opposite views of Jon. He respects them, gives them an opportunity to discuss things rationally and furthers discussion and awareness.

I'm not entirely convinced she says what she thinks, but more says what will sell more books for her and create the biggest controversies.

Phoenix · 06-07-2006, 05:52 PM

shes a fucknut...making money off the deaths of all those victims she speaks about..someone hit it on the head when they said she is just out therr for the publicity for her books

Tom_PM · 06-07-2006, 05:53 PM

They are surely using their spotlight to highlight their own views. But then again, when did someone say you weren't allowed to do that?

As far as ann coulter, well.. there used to be places you just didnt go to slam someone else just to defend your sugar daddy.

uno · 06-07-2006, 06:08 PM

I'd be willing to bet Anne has made much more off the deaths of 9/11 victims than any of the wives ever did.

bringer · 06-07-2006, 06:11 PM

i think the point is the women shes referring to are using their tragedy to make unchallenged political statements she disagrees with. its almost been five years.... when can we disagree with these women publicly without being called heartless?

ps, coulter is a heartless bitch

uno · 06-07-2006, 06:15 PM

You don't need to attack them in order to disagree. Anyone can disagree and argue intelligently with them. Coulter takes the 180 on that and chooses to simply insult them and insinuate that you can't disagree. Not true at all.

I'd match Coulters intelligence against yours any day. I'd match her eductation and resume with Jon Stewart also.

The only knock against Ann Coulter is that she doesn't attempt to be politically correct. Notice that no one ever proves her wrong, just attacks her for the way she says it. And oh, by the way, the way she says it makes her millions of dollars.

Hard to make fun of that.

Captain Canada · 06-07-2006, 07:14 PM

Coulter is not the only one who doesnt think too highly of some of the 9/11 widows - the TV show Law And Order did an episode a few years back that made them look particularly bad.

uno · 06-07-2006, 07:18 PM

So would I. But the difference is she was entitled to. They were NOT entitled to a free helping of my tax money.

No they didn't make them look that good - the episode was about an aparent trend where NY firemen leave their wives to marry the rich widows. Not all the widows got settlements - the insurance companies did as good a job there as they did for the Katrina victims - and this caused a division between the rich widows and the widows scrambling to make ends meet.

I'm not saying that this is right or wrong, only that Coulter is not the only one to have that opinion.

She is doing a great job at marketting, and as a result she dips in the pockets of all the right wing .. they buy her books, they tune in when she is on ...

I hate the bitch, but she sure is successfull

I never said she's not intelligent nor that she doesn't have a great resume. I know she can most likely debate intelligently without descending into ad hominem attacks, but chooses not to because it sells more books.

She is proved wrong ALL THE TIME. People attack her for both her 'facts', but usually more for her opinions which are even more ludicrous.

The last Al Franken book I read had an entire chapter devoted to debunking the errors/lies in one of her books. I don't really follow this stuff, but I highly doubt Al Franken is the only person to call her out.

I'm all for people standing up & voicing unpopular opinions, but this seems to be a clear case of controversy created to sell books.

steffie · 06-07-2006, 08:55 PM

Karma - Karma

It's going to come around to bite her in the ass one day.. However,, its a free country, with free speech.

Everytime I hear her slam the liberals i giggle.. The liberals got women the right to vote and free speech, without us liberals Anne wouldn't be on radio/tv she be at home, married, pregnant and kneeling in the kitchen thanking god her husband hasn't beaten her today yet.

So it is.. oh well..

I'm learning, but yep!

Mix that up with some kinda politics and they are the most evil and vicious little fuckers walking the plant.

Truth is, it has little to do with religon or real politics - they are just sickos full of intolerance and hate.

Interlude over ... back to the GFY squabbling with the usual retards - who never manage to stick to the point, but introduce their old hate one liners time and time again. It's like a parrot on autopilot
