: BOOK 
: : : : Hate-filled Attacks on NJ 9-11 Widows Has No Place on NJ Bookshelves 

: : : :             (TRENTON) - Assemblywomen Joan M. Quigley and Linda Stender 
: : : : today castigated political commentator Ann Coulter for vicious remarks made 
: : : : against four New Jersey September 11th widows in her new book "Godless:  The 
: : : : Church of Liberalism." 

: : : :             In her book, Coulter refers to the women as, "the Witches of 
: : : : East Brunswick," after the town where two of the women reside, and writes 
: : : : she has "...never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."  In 
: : : : promoting the book, she added further insult to injury by saying the women 
: : : : used their grief "...to make a political point," and used "...the fact that 
: : : : [they] lost a husband as the basis for being able to talk about it 
: : : : [political viewpoints]." 

: : : :             In response to these incendiary, hate-filled attacks on women 
: : : : who suffered a terrible personal tragedy four-and-a-half years ago and have 
: : : : selflessly advocated to improve national security in the intervening years, 
: : : : the Assemblywomen issued the following statement, denouncing Coulter's 
: : : : attacks and asking New Jersey retailers to ban the sale of her book 
: : : : throughout the state: 

: : : :   

: : : :             "Ann Coulter's criticism of 9-11 widows, whose only desire since 
: : : : the attacks have been to repair their shattered lives and protect other 
: : : : families from the horrors they have experienced, is motivated purely by 
: : : : petty greed and hate. 

: : : :             "Her assertion that these women enjoyed watching their husbands 
: : : : die on national television is hateful, hurtful, and runs counter to every 
: : : : sentiment expressed since the September 11th tragedy. 

: : : :             "Coulter's vicious characterizations and remarks are motivated 
: : : : by greed and her desire to sell books.  By making these claims, she proves 
: : : : herself worse than those she is attempting to vilify - she is a leech trying 
: : : : to turn a profit off perverting the suffering of others. 

: : : :             "No one in New Jersey should buy this book and allow Ann Coulter 
: : : : to profit from her hate-mongering.  We are asking New Jersey retailers 
: : : : statewide to stand with us and express their outrage by refusing to carry or 
: : : : sell copies of Coulter's book.  Her hate-filled attacks on our 9-11 widows 
: : : : has no place on New Jersey bookshelves."

: ;;;Quigley better watch Gaughan throwing her under a bus.  Coulter will destroy 
: herself.  Eileen Gaughan can't read or we would have heard from her by now.
