Reply #23: No one has tried to profit from a spouse's death like Lisa Beamer... [View All]

[Minnesota_Lib]

Beamer, the widow of the late Todd Beamer of Flight 93 fame, wrote HER memoir (note the cover photo below--talk about self-promotion!) and even tried to copyright the phrase "Let's Roll." While the 9/11 widows were selflessly working to improve our national security, Beamer was endlessly hawking herself and her memoirs on the talk-show circuit and crying on cue at the mention of...err, what was his name again, oh yeah, Todd.

So why isn't she in the right's crosshairs? Well, perhaps a clue can be gleened from her book's publisher, Tyndale House, marketers of fundie Christian books such as the Left Behind series. The most telling reason, however, is that Beamer openly supported George Bush and even made numerous appearances with him.

Now, I thought widows of 9/11 were supposed to just sit down and shut-up. I guess this rule only applies to those not of the greedy, self-promoting, fundie rightwing variety (is it just me, or does Lisa seem to have a lot in common with the Bulimic Blond herself?).

The hypocracy of Coulter and her clown posse is enough to make you want to vomit.
