In her new book, "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," Ann Coulter writes of the Sept. 11 widows: “These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation, and acted as if the terrorist attack only happened to them…I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much...And 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.”
I'm offended and appalled by this woman's comments and attitude. Matt Lauer was also disgusted when he interviewed her on the Today Show. Many believe that she went too far. It wouldn't be the first time. She has been fired from a number of jobs for her unprofessionalism and mean-spiritedness.
Ann is a conservative pundit, a commentator who is paid to be outrageous. She has an undergraduate degree from Cornell and a law degree from the University of Michigan. She has worked as an attorney and served as a congressional aide. Ann is clearly very bright, but in my opinion she lacks common sense, compassion and sensitivity.
Ann describes herself as a Christian and in another interview this month claimed that "Christianity fuels everything I write."
What? Would a Christian make the the comments that she made about the September 11 widows? Many people call themselves Christians, but they are not followers of Christ. They don't live by his teachings.
The saddest thing of all, however, is that Ann Coulter's book was number one in ratings last week. People are spending money to read the sarcastic and hateful comments of a woman who has said that the deceased person she admires most is Senator Joseph McCarthy. In Godless she accuses American liberals of acting in an unpatriotic manner and hating both God and their country. As a progressive (I prefer that to liberal) Christian minister who loves God and my country, I take exception to that. For her to make a comment such as this is as ridiculous as saying that all blondes are dumb, and I know Ann would never make that assertion.
