Reading things like this makes me want to buy a couple copies of the book and send it to them with the receipt so they know that I bought it in NJ, in fact maybe I should drive over to the Borders in East Brunswick and make them order me a couple copies (Did you really think they would have it on the shelf?):
And this is funny, we hit the Hitler reference kind of quickly, Imus compares Coulter to Hitler:Two New Jersey Democrats are pushing to have Ann Coulter's new book banned from all bookstores in their state because she criticized four 9/11 widows known as "the Jersey Girls."
In a joint press release issued Friday, New Jersey Assemblywomen Joan Quigley and Linda Stender say they want New Jersey retailers to "ban the sale of [Coulter's] book throughout the state."
[...]
"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."
MATLIN: What do you think about her point? Her point that you can't -- you know Cindy Sheehan -- if you throw yourself in the political arena, then you should be able to address political issues, and people should be able to speak back to you.I agree with Coulter's point as well. The left trot out their victim and it would be heartless to be against their cause because they have a widow or an orphan as their spokesperson. You can't argue with their pain.
MATLIN: What do you think about her point? Her point that you can't -- you know Cindy Sheehan -- if you throw yourself in the political arena, then you should be able to address political issues, and people should be able to speak back to you.
IMUS: I agree with her point.
MATLIN: Well, then that's what I agree with.
IMUS: But i think it's repugnant and repulsive and gutless to, and cheap and cheesey to call these women all these names. I mean, whether it's right or not, it's just something there's just. You don't go there.
MATLIN: That's her stock and trade.
IMUS: But i'm surprised that you won't condemn her for these repugnant remarks.
MATLIN: I don't know her. I haven't read the book.
IMUS: You don't have to know her. You know what Hitler did. Did you you him? You condemn what he did.
MATLIN: Are you comparing her to Hitler?
IMUS: No, I'm not. Of course not.
MATLIN: This is the point. This is complete the point she's making. These lefty crazy people go around calling us [unintelligible] and Hitlers and Nazis and everything and nobody say anything. She calls somebody a harpy and you'd think that the whole world was on fire.
