Davis stated Coulter's point better than she did IMO. She loaded it with so many attacks that people will focus on them and get angry instead of thinking about the point, in fact even people who like Coulter and didn't get angry might miss the point in the midst of all the words used for the attack.

Davis stated the point without the vicious attack -

"We have learned that they question President Bush's leadership, which they are entitled to do. Some campaigned for John Kerry, which they are entitled to do. They have criticized the priorities of the war on terror, which they are entitled to do.

What they are not entitled to is one speck of credibility on 9/11 issues beyond any other women in New Jersey – or men in Idaho, or anyone of any sex in between.

There is nothing in bereavement that yields additional wisdom on the nuts and bolts of how our nation has responded since 9/11."

I also think there is some truth in his statement -

"Ms. Coulter does in prose what editorial cartoonists do with pictures: artful exaggeration with the goal of crystallizing a political point."

For some reason people often find it less offensive as a cartoon, but political cartoons can get hostile reactions as well but usually not as much of one (except perhaps cartoons about Mohamed or Islam). I'm not sure why cartoons usually get less reaction.
