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
