Coulter Lies about Lying

Ann Coulter is claiming that Newsweek lied about what she wrote in her book, Godless. On Hannity & Colmes last night (on Fox News) she said:

"I'm sitting in a Fox studio in L.A. I don't know why there's a copy of Newsweek here rather than Human Events. Here is Newsweek describing Ann Coulter as saying "9/11 widows enjoyed their [husbands'] deaths." That is simply a lie . . . That is a lie. If you can't deal with the facts and you refuse to say what the argument is, I think that's a total lack of confidence in your position and it certainly shows a complete lack of understanding [that] Americans can find out the truth these days - that it's not the mainstream media monopoly it was 10 years ago."

But Ann is lying about Newsweek's lie – and conservative news source "Newsmax" is aiding and abetting her in that lie by picking at nits:

What Ann wrote about the so-called "Jersey Girls," and not all the other 9/11 widows in "Godless: The Church of Liberalism," was "these self-obsessed women seemed genuinely unaware that 9/11 was an attack on our nation and acted as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them, The whole nation was wounded, all our lives were reduced. But they believed the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently denouncing Bush was an important part of their closure process. These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzies. I've never seen people enjoying their husband's deaths so much."

So I guess the "Jersey Girls'" husbands weren't 9/11 victims? What a pathetic attempt to make the witch look good.
