    It's their right to blame anyone they want, and it's my right to judge the way they try to take advantage of others sympathy by exploiting tragedy. Just because their husbands died in one of the greatest terrorist attacks in history does not mean that they get saint hood. There were a lot of families that were affected by 9/11 and it shouldn't be surprising that there is a small percentage of people with sociopath tendencies that have no problem with finding a way to make use of this tragedy.

    the ones in the plane in pennsylvania probably were because they stopped the plane from crashing into the white house.

    for the others no people are victims everyday and are not called heroes

    I would call the office workers victims. I would call the fire fighters who died heroes.

    Whores choose to be whores. Victims don't get that choice. When you have a ton of victims, you'll get a wide mix of reactions. The people who exploit victims to advance there politics are the real whores.

    So the 911 victims were into politics before 911? Why do we care what they think, then or now?

    So what, let them think whatever they want. Let them say whatever they want. Just because they are a victim of terrorism doesn't suddenly make them terrorism experts. But attacking them on a personal level is out of line

    Whores do it for money. In that respect, Coulter called it correctly. These wenches weren't doing it for their loved ones. They were doing it for the cash and the attention. Coulter shamelessly and fearlessly calls people out on their b.s., because who else is gonna do it?

    What pain? These whores are profiting off of their so-called "loved ones" deaths. These women are despicable cowardly whores. I'm happy that Ann Coulter called them out on their b.s.

    Well if the government stopped calling soldiers heroes and glamorizing it a bit, american citizens would no longer sign up.
    In my opinion every soldier that fights in a war should be given a plot of land. A literal and figurative piece of the country that they fought for. It won't happen though because in the end, most politicians don't really give an F for veterans and the military anymore. They just want stuff killed or blown up so that they can grease the palms of their executive buddies.

    It used to be a sign of honor for the sons of elected officials to serve in the military. Where is it now? How come there are literally no sons/daughters of our government fighting in these wars (or hardly any)

    I have a feeling this is going nowhere, but I'll play along.

    What advantage am I trying to wring from sympathetic people that makes me like the 9/11 wives that Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck speak of?

    Everyone who went into those buildings to pull someone out is a hero.

    The rest were just Joe Sixpacks. Or terrorists. I'm pretty sure that the terrorists died in those attacks, too.

    what "advantage" did the widows "try" to wring?

    Ann Coulter actually ATTEMPTED to MAKE money off of the DEATHS.


    and, you are trying to exploit a well known tragedy.

    I'll let the last sentence from YOUR quote about those who TRY to exploit tragedies speak for itself.

    Quite ironic.

    Depends on what they were doing...

    ... for sure the first responders who were killed were heroes...

    ... others just doing their office jobs could be considered martyrs.

    Indeed; altruism is a rare human quality fast disappearing in this world where every action seemingly requires a quid pro quo.
