Ann Coulter in a knockout

Don't mess with Ann Coulter. Hillary Clinton thought she could take a cheap shot by calling Coulter "vicious" for her remarks about the New Jersey widows who are enjoying fame on the grief circuit.
From DrudgeReport:
ANN COULTER RESPONDS TO SEN. CLINTON: 'BEFORE CRITICIZING OTHERS FOR BEING 'MEAN' TO WOMEN, PERHAPS HILLARY SHOULD TALK TO HER HUSBAND WHO WAS ACCUSED OF RAPE BY JUANITA BROADDRICK AND WAS GROPING KATHLEEN WILLEY AT THE VERY MOMENT WILLEY'S HUSBAND WAS COMMITTING SUICIDE.
I don't agree with Hugh Hewitt that Coulter was over the line. There is something unseemly about these women and Cindy Sheehan who revel in their politics, counting on respect for their grief to shield them from criticism.

But not only are they beyond criticism, they are shielded from debate by their victim cachet and supposed "amateur" status. All of that would be bad enough but the MSM does not allow opposing viewpoints. No other widows have been given such a forum. The MSM supposedly speaks for those without a voice but they refuse to acknowledge that other voices and viewpoints even exists. If that isn't worthy of derision, I dont' know what else is. Good for Ann Coulter for bringing the issue forward. It deserves to be discussed.

And while we are on it, there is something ridiculous about Hillary Clinton making such remarks after giving an speech "on protecting children from exposure to sex- and violence-saturated media" when three-fourths of American children learned about oral sex thanks to her husband.
