"The Jersey Girls on the other hand have consistently spoken out and advocated on behalf of leftist interests through the 9/11 Commission’s findings, to the operation of the global War On Terror, the elections of 2004, etc. In other words - they chose, or the liberal Democratic Party chose for them - to enter the fray, to don the gloves, and to mix it up. But what if they're wrong? What if, even in as much pain as they have endured at the hands of terrorists, the substance of what they argue for is as loony as the day is long? Even if Cindy Sheehan lost her heroic son in the War on Terror - does that now mean that everything Cindy Sheehan says is correct? Which is Ann's point. Ann's criticism is legitimate - if liberals in America wish to truly have a debate on the issues that we all have strong emotions about - then stand and make the point, but don't hide behind those who are ineffective, unskilled, and often wrong in their views, simply because they're a victim. " Its a good point, but the point tends to get lost when you make attacks like she did. Better to attack the assertions and opinions rather than the people making them. Maybe you combine that with something like McCullough's point which I quote above. But calling them witches and saying that they enjoy their husbands death is lousy as rhetoric, and logically irrelevant to their opinions that Coulter wants to challenge, and it nasty on top of that.
