Senator John Kerry on How to Irk Ann Coulter and Honor 9/11 Widows

Thursday June 8, 2006
Blogged by Senator John Kerry (D-MA) today at The Huffington Post. This is a brief excerpt. Read the entirety of Senator Kerry's blog post HERE.

I share and support Senator Kerry's sentiments on Ann Coulter.....
---------------
"When I heard on cable television what Ann Coulter wrote and said about the widows of 9/11, my first reaction was pretty much unprintable. I have no apologies for it. Did this woman ever for a second stop and think that these womens' children might be watching TV and have to listen to her venomous words? So much for family values.

Then I thought: grotesque as it is, this is her attempt to be provocative -- infamy's its own kind of fame -- to get her mug on TV and sell books. Coulter is counting on this "controversy" to get her ink and sell her angry harangue of a book.

Which is why we owe all the 9/11 families Ann Coulter slandered so much more than just outrage. We owe them thanks......Think about what they accomplished -- bottom line: We would not have had the 9/11 Commission and their recommendations to make America safer without these brave women.....

Want to really irk Ann Coulter and at the same time help take these womens' brave fight a little closer to victory?

Get on the phone to any television program that has Ann Coulter on, and demand they press her not on her callous attacks, but on which recommendations of the 9/11 Commission she thinks should be forgotten. Which ports does she think should be left unsecured. Make the 9/11 widows' issues follow this fool everywhere she goes."

Amen, Senator Kerry!
