Ann Coulter Continues Her Diarrhea of the Mouth…Insulting Jews, Women, and Political Bloggers.

Posted by Catherine Morgan on October 31, 2007

Ann Coulter Continues Her Diarrhea of the Mouth…Insulting Jews, Women, and Political Bloggers.

While I was putting together my YouTube video recap of the democratic debate last night…I had the misfortune of coming across another interview of Ann Coulter having diarrhea of the mouth. Nothing unusual for Ann. Of course she is given an opportunity to apologize for her hateful remarks about the Jewish faith, but she instead continue her rant, with her “perceived” superiority (Ann is a “profit” in her own mind…a delusional one at that).

Anyway, here is her YouTube “diarrhea of words”, where in the first few minutes she also insults women…Particularly women such as myself, who dare to blog about the “godless” political party of the democrats.

She says that the big story is…”the left wing blogosphere we keep hearing about and code pink lunatics…are they just irrelevant and gutless traitors?”

O.k. — I have know idea what a “code pink lunatic” is, but I’m sure it has something to do with the whole being a godless liberal Coulter delusion.

Part one…

Quick example of the Ann Coulter delusional mind-set…

[As Ann sits at the right hand of The Father, he declares to her, his republican party affiliation.] Of course, how else would she be able to channel God through her best selling books. Unless she’s sitting at the right hand of the “other guy”…more likely if you ask me.

Part two…

With all do respect Ann…”Go back on your meds”.

MSNBC Democratic Debate in Philadelphia…A Video Recap — by Catherine Morgan

Pre-debate from Keith Olberman on Countdown…

First, Ariana Huffington talks about “Giuliani is like Bush on steroids”. Personally, the idea of Giuliana as our next president is horrifying to me

One of the best performances of the night was by John Edwards. Although negative at times, he did very well.

O’Reilly Says…”Most Teachers Are Left-Wingers”.

Posted by Catherine Morgan on October 25, 2007

Bill O’Reilly says that all teachers are left-wingers, he also says FOX News is fair and balanced. I’m thinking he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. I put a post on Bill’s latest “crazy talk” on my new site The Political Voices of Women.

It just occurred to me that Bill O’Reilly and Ann Coulter would make a great couple…as long as they use birth-control.

Let me know what you think of the new blog too. Thanks.

Bush’s Ego Needs $46 Billion More For His Pet-Project…The Iraq War

Posted by Catherine Morgan on October 22, 2007

My opinion…Where does this man get off denying children in our own country health care last week, and today asking to spend $46 billion more for ‘his’ war in Iraq???? 

If Bush’s ego needs to feel anymore “relevant”, it’s going to successfully destroy our country…(if it hasn’t already).

I didn’t see the debate, but I was able to pull some video clips from YouTube to make this little video recap.

On 10/21/07 Republican presidential candidates held a debate in Florida. Here’s the introduction from the FL Repub Party Chair Jim Greer — who says they are the party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Reagan. Hmmm…no Bush? Kinda blatant, huh?

How will the candidates beat Hillary Clinton?

What do the American people want?

Bush Warns a Nuclear-Armed Iran Could Lead To WWIII – Be afraid…be very, very afraid.

Posted by Catherine Morgan on October 17, 2007

bush.jpgUS President George W. Bush speaks at a press conference in the White House briefing room in Washington, DC. Bush Wednesday warned Iran must be barred from nuclear weapons to avoid the prospect of “World War III,” and dismissed suggestions of a US-Russia rift on the crisis.(AFP/Nicholas Kamm)

Question. How much damage can one lame-duck president cause in just over a year? Answer. Just wait and see, because Bush is promising to show us.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President George W. Bush warned on Wednesday a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War III as he tried to shore up international opposition to Tehran amid Russian skepticism over its nuclear ambitions.

Bush was speaking a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has resisted Western pressure to toughen his stance over Iran’s nuclear program, made clear on a visit to Tehran that Russia would not accept any military action against Iran. — read full article

Question. Why would Bush veto a bill that would give millions of children health care? Answer. Well, why don’t we just let him tell us…

Bush said his veto pen was “one way to ensure that I am relevant; that’s one way to ensure that I am in the process. And I intend to use the veto.” — read full article

Okay, Bush’s need to feel “relevant” is more important than the health and wellness our country’s children. I wish I could say I was shocked.

Vice President Dick Cheney Is A Distant Cousin Of Barack Obama.

Posted by Catherine Morgan on October 17, 2007

toles_040307.gif

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – There’s no sign of a family reunion planned, but U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama are distant cousins.

So says the vice president’s wife, Lynne Cheney, who said she discovered that her husband of 43 years is eighth cousins with the senator from Illinois.

The two men could hardly be more different. Cheney is an advocate for pursuing the war in Iraq to try to stabilize the country, while Obama wants to get U.S. troops out of Iraq. — read full article here

Ann Coulter is a Hateful Christian, Who Claims To Be Speaking For ALL Christians. Does she speak for you? See Video of MSNBC interview.

Posted by Catherine Morgan on October 12, 2007

If you didn’t see this interview, and want to know what all the fuss is about…

But, if you can’t stand to watch the AC (and who could blame you), you can find the written transcript here.

Until now, I hadn’t seen the interview of Ann Coulter and her hateful remarks towards Jews in our country, but it didn’t surprise me at all when I heard about it. And as much as I can’t stand giving this woman any additional attention, I feel it is important for her hateful words to be heard, and for “true” Christians to voice their decent.

When Bin Laden twists Muslim beliefs to justify hate and terrorism, we call on clerics to denounce it. Yes, I did just compare Coulter to Bin Laden. Anyway, the same policy needs to be applied to “coulter hate speech”, it can not be tolerated…Leaders of the Christian church (and Christians) need to publicly denounce Coulter’s bigotry, and reject her claims of speaking for all Christians.

She says that she is invited to speak at “mega” Christian churches (implying that “mega” amounts of Christians believe in her bigotry), if this is true…I am ashamed. As a Christian myself, I am appalled and sickened by Coulter’s assumptions that “all” Christians subscribe to her bigotry.

Coulter says several times that Christianity is easier than Judaism, because Judaism has “laws and rules”…WHAT??? It seems she is under some kind of impression that if you are a Christian, you can be a sinner and get a “free pass”, because everyone knows Jesus has forgivin the sins of Christians. What the *blankedy blank* is going on in her head?

In this transcript, when Coulter uses the word “we”, she is talking about “all” Christians. If you don’t believe me, listen or read it for yourself at the top of this post.

DEUTSCH: “Let’s wipe Israel off the earth.” I mean, what, no Jews?

COULTER: No, we think — we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say.

DEUTSCH: Wow, you didn’t really say that, did you?

COULTER: Yes. That is what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. We know we’re all sinners — (read full transcript here)

Who died and made Ann Coulter the voice of all Christians?????????

AC should not be allowed to spread her hate in any church…She may have free speech in the media, but she doesn’t have a constitutional right to spread hate to children and families while they are attending church. If she is currently being given this opportunity, it should be stopped immediately.

Read a great post and comments on this topic, by contributing editor, Mata at BlogHer.

Al Gore Wins The Nobel Peace Prize – Will he now run for president?

Posted by Catherine Morgan on October 12, 2007

Al Gore wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

For the past year, Al Gore has gone about his considerable business without showing much interest in running for president. While picking up an Oscar and an Emmy, publishing a very smart book and playing host at a global concert for the planet, he’s never done more than tease the idea. And yet all that time, the leaders of the Draft Gore movement have been clinging to a single fervid dream: that Gore would win the Nobel Peace Prize and use it to catapult himself to an eleventh-hour bid for the presidency.

Now the Nobel Committee has done its part, awarding Gore the Peace Prize for being “probably the single individual who has done most to create greater worldwide understanding of the measures that need to be adopted” to combat climate change, according to his citation. (The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was also a joint winner of the prize.) And so, after the obligatory spasms of celebration and the equally obligatory gnashing of Rush Limbaugh’s teeth, will Americans finally get to enjoy one of the great spectacles in political history, as Gore’s ultimate honor levitates him beyond his leading rival, Hillary Clinton, and into the Oval Office? — read full article here
