Monday, June 19, 2006Like a modern day Martin Luther, Ann Coulter has metaphorical tacked her manifesto to the door of the High Temple of The Left with her new book, "Godless - The Church Of Liberalism".
In the book, Coulter contends, "Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion.'"
With her new book quickly soaring to the number one spot on the New York Times Best Sellers list, the full court press to bring her down has gone into full swing. The harshest criticisms of Coulter's new book centers around one paragraph.
The paragraph in question speaks about four New Jersey widows who lost their husbands in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Coulter writes, "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."
Let the smear campaign begin.
Some on the left have pulled out all the stops to try to censor Ann Coulter. House Representative Steve Israel drafted a letter demanding that Coulter apologize for her comments.
New Jersey Assemblywomen Joan Quigley and Linda Stender called for book retailers to ban the sale of Coulter's book throughout the state. NBC news has shown its liberal bias in their reporting of the Coulter controversy.
On the June 7 broadcast of the NBC Nightly News, anchor Brian Williams introduced a segment about Coulter by saying "Just when you think that it seems that there are no limits on anything, someone comes along and makes a comment that goes over the line - the line that is shared by just about everybody because some things are, it turns out, still sacred."
