Ann Coulter: Falwell right about 9-11, critics of God in schools to jail!

We recently located some interesting quotes by Ralph Reed and Pat Robertson on "The Conservative Hall of Fame" website (click here to read). Ralph Reed was formerly the head of the Christian Coalition and now head of the Georgia Republican Party. In a speech to the Christian Coalition, he said, "Tell em what they want to hear; when elected do as you please. Lie if you have to." Ralph Reed must have missed the Ten Commandments.

Pat Robertson said " I think one man, one vote; just unrestricted democracy would not be wise. There needs to be some kind of protection for the minority which the white people represent now, and they need and have a right to demand a protection of their rights." Pat Robertson attacks democracy and advocates white racism. There is nothing Christian about these comments by Ralph Reed or Pat Robertson.

We recently heard anti-Clinton zealot and Republican commentator, Ann Coulter, defend the comments of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson concerning the September 11th attacks while addressing the College Republicans in Oregon. Her comments included a spirited defense on our treatment of the American Indians as being an advance for Christianity. Her most outrageous comment advocated placing in detention, under John Ashcroft, anyone who criticized the use of references to God in our schools. She seems to be against the Freedom of Speech provided by the Bill of Rights in our Constitution. We do not imprison anyone for his or her religious or political views in America.

The "so called" Christian Right is acting like an American Taliban. Their political agenda is both un-American and un-Christian. They have become nothing more than a tool of the Republican Party in their quest for power. Voters beware! Christians beware! It is time to exercise our Free Will in the ballot box and in our Churches.

1. the right is really ramping up their rhetoric

I wonder how far it will go?

[Virginian]

2. Beware of false prophets. There seem to be plenty out there.

[wtmusic]

3. Pat Robertson is an evil pig

n/t

[bluestateguy]

4. I know how we can shut her up

A Democratic Administration can declare her to be a terrorist and her statements to be terroristic under the USA Patriot Act. What comes around goes around.

[fujiyama]

9. She did

advocate the destruction of the New York Times building.

[DieboldMustDie]

14. And Pat Robertson has suggested nuking the U.S. State Department.

:crazy:

[opihimoimoi]

5. Their recent success has brought out their true feelings, ARROGANCE

and Delusion.

[Hubert Flottz]

17. There is only one other speaker in the world who can top dAnn!

Not that anyone would ever want to top dAnn! People like dAnn don't just happen in America, here is an example:



Baghdad Bob likes to lie and want's to kill everybody too that don't toe the old party line! Hitler will never die as long as people like dAnn run loose!

[opihimoimoi]

26. for me, she is Apple Annie the Nazsi

Posing as Sane and Rational... she is anything but.

[Nite Owl]

6. Let them keep talking as much as possible and keep associating

with Bush*. They are so far out there they can only help us. The only ones they can appeal to are their base and we aren't going to pick up votes there. Those in the middle, the 'undecideds', will hear these nut cases and run away---to Kerry.

[Moloch]

7. woo hoo!!!

Ann is the best recruiting tool we have, nobody makes the right wing seem as ridiculous and stupid as she does. We need her this election year.

[K8-EEE]

13. I Agree...Go Ann!!

This woman is so ridiculous, I'll bet there is not ONE politician who would dare to have his picture taken with her. I dare GWB or any of them to get a good, huggy close up with Ann!!

[alvis]

8. Isn't s/he irrelevant now?

I haven't seen much of her lately, which is a good thing. Last I heard of her, Al Franken trounced her ass in a debate. I'd love to see the transcripts of that. If anyone would provide a link would be much appreciated.

[Maat]

11. Did she just get out rehab? Stimulant habit?

n/t

[jeff30997]

10. Lol!

Everytime i read a quote from Ann Coulter i wonder how low she can go.Stupid demagogue! And to recycle a joke i posted on an other thread : The Christian Coalition should be called The Fruitcake Coalition because a fruitcake is full of nuts! :evilgrin:

[mistertrickster]

12. When the revolution comes, we're going to send her to a re-education

camp where her duties will be carrying bedpans for sick minority children.

(Just kidding . . . she'd make the kids sicker)

*****

I just had a thought--aren't you glad that the blond snake never had children of her own? And her old biological clock is really ticking away.

Rush Limbaugh, too--no kids. What's with the radical right that they can't procreate?

Let's ask the good Doctor Freud, shall we?

Hehehehee

[TryingToWarnYou]

24. What do you mean?

I dont want them to procreate..Christ, we have enough evil people running around now.

[AntiCoup2K4]

29. How could Anndrew have children?

s/he doesn't have the equipment for that. And God help the poor kid if s/he ever decided to adopt :(

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. Cognitive Dissonance. Christian and right-wing is not the same thing as

Christian.

[DaveSZ]

16. I'm crossing my fingers

for a speech by Pat Robertson and Falwell at the GOP convention where they blame Jews and abortionists and pagans for everything.

[no_hypocrisy]

18. Ann Coulter does not worry me. It's the "folks" who show up to listen to

her that do. Without an audience, she's nothing. The fact that people stop, listen, and seriously consider her viewpoints is troubling. They will be energized and likely to vote in order to "reclaim America", etc. I wonder if they don't like her "moxy" rather than her rhetoric.

[keithyboy]

19. They are worse than the Taliban. The Taliban don't pretend.

The Christian right pretends to be something that they are not.

[keithyboy]

20. I think it would be good to collect some quotes from Hitler and post them

along side the quotes from Coulter, Reed, Robertson, Dobson, Falwell.
The similarities would be striking.

[Vickers]

21. Know what's crazy? Lotsa folks on FR think she's hot.

Seriously.

*shudder*

I'm thinking some of them boys have...."issues" that they haven't dealt with.

[Dems Will Win]

22. kick

[Q]

23. Thought crimes?

...I didn't think we'd get to those so soon. She's not simply against free speech..she's advocating 'detaining' Americans (aka putting them in prison) for their thoughts and beliefs.

- I never listen to Coulter...for obvious reasons: she's insane. But insanity has a way of spreading when a country's leadership attempts to create a 'master race' of puritans.

[opihimoimoi]

25. Apple Annie is a Nazsi promoting Hate/

[terrya]

27. Is it possible that Ann Coulter's comments are all just an act?

They're so completely over the top that I'm really beginning to wonder if it's just a schtick. Hey, she sells a few books, puts some money in the bank. America is the land of opportunity...maybe Ann just came up with this persona just to make a few bucks.

[AntiCoup2K4]

31. Does it matter if it's an act or not?

When irrational hatred like that inspires irrational hatred in others, does it matter if the original irrational hatred was genuine or not? If some moron actually walks into a mosque and kills the Imam inside and then tries to "convert" the other worshippers "to Christianity" because Ann the Man told them to, does it matter whether s/he meant it or not?

Or let me put it this way... How much has right wing hatred risen in this country since Rush went on the air? Is it possible that someone like Tim McVeigh or Eric Rudolph were Limbaugh fans. Not that Rush specifically suggested bombing buildings, of course. But he certainly fueled hatred of the government in general, and Democrats specifically.

[snippy]

28. Ann Coulter's Usually Not Truthful. n/t

[mumon]

30. The most clear and present danger to us

These folks say America was founded as a "Christian nation," but history says otherwise.

I recently read Edward Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," which makes a very good case for the complicity of Christian bigotry in Rome's fall.

That, combined with knowledge of the Thirty Years' War (a horrific event with strong religious components whose body count wasn't equalled until WWI) led the founders to press for strong separation of Church and State.

Gibbon's overall diagnosis for Rome's fall is becoming increasingly truer in the US: greater tyranny, oppressive taxation to finance a military machine, increasing poverty, and religious bigotry are all rampant in the US today, as it was in Rome.

I can only hope that the next great power is wiser, but I'm not confident.
