Harris seem to be of the opinion they deserved Coulter's attack No, the jersey girls jumped into the political arena and didn't realize the heat in the kitchen might be too hot for them.

re: Tench and Harris seem to be of the opinion they deserved Coulter's attack. Of course they do... anybody that disagrees with Bush deserves everything they get. Remember: weren't they really upset when that CSM reporter being held hostage wasn't killed by the terrorists, because she might be a liberal? Hell, the 9/11 victims families are almost getting a free ride from the right!

"Anyone that disagrees with Bush at any time on anything is automatically a liberal wild eyed partisan child molester" That is what I was trying to determine. Did they just disagree with administration policy and endorse Kerry? Tench and Harris seem to be of the opinion they deserved Coulter's attack. And it seems a bit much if that is all they did. I discount shorty, we all know he is looney tunes, but... This is what they said. They struggled over their decision because some had voted for Bush the first time. If their comments warranted Coulter's attack then I am out of touch with what is considered normal human behavior: "September 15, 2004 \| Over the last three years, the group of 9/11 widows turned activists dubbed the "Jersey Girls" have become a fixture on the Washington political scene. Some of them are Republicans, others Democrats or independents. But they are all determined to hold official Washington accountable for the attacks that killed their husbands and nearly 3,000 others. They have held news conferences, lobbied members of Congress, pored over documents, and forced the White House to accept an independent commission to investigate the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Along the way, the women have learned about coverups, obfuscation, political cowardice, deceptions and the dangers of eschewing international alliances for a go-it-alone foreign policy. And their conclusion: For the sake of the country's future, John Kerry must replace George W. Bush. Gathering at the National Press Club in Washington on Tuesday, the widows announced their endorsement of the Massachusetts Democrat for president, a move made "in good conscience and from our hearts," as former Bush supporter Kristen Breitweiser told the news cameras. "In the three years since 9/11, I could never have imagined I would be here today, disappointed in the person I voted for, for president," she said. Added fellow Jersey Girl Patty Casazza: "It was President Bush who thwarted our attempts at every turn." The widows said they endorsed Kerry because three years of studying the facts has convinced them he will do a better job than Bush at protecting the nation. "This was not an easy decision to make. We agonized over this," said Monica Gabrielle of West Haven, Conn., an honorary Jersey Girl. "We have always been very careful about not being partisan. We have always attempted to uncover the truth. We have always looked for the greater good." Still, the women said they expect to be trashed as partisan hacks. "We were joking amongst ourselves yesterday that we should come down here geared up in football pads and helmets, because we were anticipating personal attacks," Breitweiser said. "Some other 9/11 family members have supported President Bush, and I think we have always been respectful of anyone's points of view. And I hope that going forward, the debate and dialogue will be about the issues and it will be respectful and lively. But most important, respectful." The endorsement was a sword clanging against Bush's political armor. Polls show that voters rate Bush high on his handling of 9/11 and its aftermath, and Republicans have been quick to exploit that approval with television ads and their recent convention, held in Manhattan around the theme of Bush's leadership against terrorism. Meantime, the families of 9/11 victims are split on whom to support for president, with many for Bush." dir.salon.com
