Ann Coulter's Making Them Nuts

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?):

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."
And this is funny, we hit the Hitler reference kind of quickly, Imus compares Coulter to Hitler:
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.

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.
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.
