Kristen Breitweiser's(9/11 widow) letter to Ann Coulter, Must read!!
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 11:18 AM by walldude
Wow, she politely kicks Ann's ass!

"...You branded the Jersey Girls media whores, a bunch of celebrity-seeking widows who enjoyed their husbands' deaths. Had your friends--including many elected officials in the Republican Party and conservatives in Washington--not put up a fight, and a very nasty fight, we wouldn't have needed to raise public awareness through the media. So if you want to blame anyone for our appearances on television, you should blame your own coterie, not us. We simply wanted to inform the nation about what needed to be done. And we still intend to do that....

"...I am truly puzzled by your accusation that we were operatives of or used by the Democrats. We were never paid for television appearances, we did not drive around in limos, we did not have publicists or PR people, and we wrote all of our own press releases, talking points, letters to the editor, statements, and testimony. (I don't know if the 9/11 family members who chose to support the Republican Party can say the same.) At any rate, your statements are false and defamatory, although that is nothing new for you."

"...For some unknown reason--and as a seasoned right-wing operative maybe you can enlighten us--most Republicans we encountered were completely opposed to learning any lessons from 9/11. It's a shame, too. After all, the Republican Party has been in total control of Washington for the past three years. Had they made true national security a higher priority, perhaps our cities would be better protected against terrorist attacks and disasters. Again, the sorry conditions in our cities and across our nation are a matter of fact, not opinion. Please don't blame me for that failure. Assign the responsibility where it belongs."

5. I think Ann was hoping for a little cat fight.. Kristen just
wasn't playing. She managed to let the air out of Coulter's balloon without getting too nasty..

6. Coulter is the one trying to make money off of the tragedy...While others
seek the truth, Coulter just keeps going witht he same old swill that has been proven false many times over.

Coulter is being called on her trash, and she is looking all the less "likeable" to the GOP. She has taken shrill to new heights.

7. Kristen is intelligent, articulate and informed
All the things Coulter is most emphatically not. Good for her for not remotely lowering herself to (M)Ann's level while still delivering a stinging rebuke.
