The inanity in Coulter’s statement is primarily the fact that there will never be a war against terrorism on U.S. soil. Perhaps there will be terrorist attacks, but even then they would be sporadic and nothing to the effect that she seems to imply. But let’s say, for the sake of argument, there was a major ongoing threat to NYC from terrorism: the civilians wouldn’t fight. Are you kidding me? They’re CIVILIANS; no matter how many post-9/11 pictures you post, it will not negate the fact that New Yorkers do not equal soldiers. What do you expect – people throwing garbage at the terrorists like in the Spiderman movie? (“This is New York! You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!” Give me a break.)

So yes, Coulter’s statement, as always, is absurd. But the reason you take offense is also pretty laughable.

Some of Coulter’s post-9/11 writing was so strident that National Review dropped her column. National Review is based in NYC.

Coincidence?

I find Rickles to be more sophisticated…

Ann Coulter as the Don Rickels of the conservative movement?

Not to mention, she’s just plain wrong…it’s a mistake to assume that all Democrats share the sentiments of the progressive, Radical Left…

I was thinking Chuck Hagel, Pat Robertson or Jesse Jackson (who’s in Caracas meeting with Chavez, the helpful soul) but this is a nice pick. It does not enhance your patriotism to belittle that of others, and Coulter should know better than to feed the whole liberal “how dare you question my patriotism” fire. Such statements make an illegitimate position legitimate.

Dan, ridiculous…we are all Americans first…Ann is way out of line, and when push comes to shove, I suspect New Yorkers are as tough as any of my fellow Texans…I suggest you read up on 9/11, about the heroics of ordinary New Yorkers, about the office workers in the World Trade Center who were last seen going floor to floor saving as many people as they possibly could…this sort of attitude is, frankly, idiotic…

Hope this doesn’t offend anyone: when I was in college, Frank Zappa played at nearby Smith College. He told the Smith students they were “only five per cent better than a convent.” and in order to rectify the situation, they should all “go out and get reamed.” I think of that every time I see Ann Coulter on TV.

She is still right. Yes, about 50,000 cops and firefighters did their job heroically. The rest of New Yorkers would cave.
