Ann Coulter on Today Show

Political commentator Ann Coulter defends her book, *Godless: The Church of Liberalism*, while debating the Republican Party's strategy regarding social issues and the Iraq War. The discussion centers on whether the administration uses topics like gay marriage to mobilize its base during election cycles, despite low approval ratings. Coulter argues that widespread opposition to gay marriage constitutes a clear mandate, regardless of political timing. The conversation turns contentious when addressing Coulter’s characterization of 9/11 widows as self-obsessed celebrities who exploit their grief for political gain. Coulter maintains that these individuals use their status to shield themselves from criticism, asserting that the left employs a "doctrine of infallibility" to stifle debate. Throughout the exchange, the focus remains on the intersection of personal tragedy, political activism, and the polarization of American discourse.
