But Coulter does not know these women's personal lives...but she acts like she does. If she criticized their methods, their words, their goals...fine. But Ms. Coulter instead stated that the women enjoyed their husband's deaths and wondered if the men were planning to divorce them..

Using your own statements about what constitutes a "hater" it seems she is attacking those with different views. By "attack" I would mean using a deeply personal invective about which she knows nothing....she only sees the "jersey girls" in their public forum. She knows (knew) nothing about their personal lives with their husbands. Who can get inside a marriage....and after one of the partners has passed on, who should have the right to judge what it meant to the survivor?

If someone said Mr. Bush's wife would rejoice in his death, or that Mr. Cheney's daughter hats her father, I think people might feel the comments unnecessary to carry on the debate about public policy issues that those men speak to. If a liberal wrote those statements in a book and the book sold more copies because of it, would you feel the same?

I think Ms. Coulter plays both the left and the right for effect. But regardless of who writes the incendiary comments, maybe we don't need speech like that? Or let's not reward it.
