I don't think Ann and others should remind Matt and others that George Bush is NOT running for President in 2008. Just let them wear themselves out tilting at windmills. I doubt that Matt realizes that he displayed his own total lack of logic in trying to ridicule Ann and her latest book.

Franken is probably mad as hell that Coulter is all over the news, while more people are interested in the farm report than Air America.

She's smarter, prettier and more interesting.

9/11 widows respond to attack from Ann Coulter

Ann Coulter's new book ignited a nasty controversy this week, and it doesn't appear ready to die down anytime soon. In "Godless: The Church of Liberalism" she writes that a group of outspoken 9/11 widows who pushed for investigations into the attacks, "enjoyed" their husbands' deaths, and are "self-obsessed" and act "as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them."

Coulter reiterated the remarks on NBC's "Today" on Tuesday, saying the women used their grief "to make a political point."

In her book, Coulter says, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."

The women are Kristen Breitweiser, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg and Patty Casazza of New Jersey. Coulter refers to them as the "Witches of East Brunswick," the New Jersey town where two of them live. Not surprisingly, the women have a few choice words for Coulter as well.

"Having my husband burn alive in a building brought me no joy," Van Auken told the New York Daily News in Wednesday's editions. "She sounds like a very disturbed, unraveled person," Breitweiser said.

The women also issued a joint statement, saying, "There was no happiness in telling our children that their fathers were never coming home again. We adored these men and miss them every day."

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton called the remarks a "vicious, mean-spirited attack on people I've known over the last four-and-a-half years to be concerned deeply about the safety and security of our country."

Among the names people will soon call Coulter will likely be "best seller." A spokesman for publisher Crown Forum says it set a first print run of the book at 1 million copies. http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews...ws/14764530.htm

I think the publicity will create another 1 million run.

Funny Matt Lauer doesnt even get it............




No one could point out where I said she is an evangelical, so I guess these comments are spin or a lie........I say both.

You don't have to actually SAY it... you have to be capable of thinking such a thing in order to be quoted as literally saying it.

I pick things out of my ear that fulfill that criteria.

Early in the campaign the President's people ran a commercial where the trade towers appeared on the screen for a few seconds. The Jersey girls were all over the media denouncing him for politicizing 9-11. A few months later they were traveling around the country with Kerry's campaign making hateful ugly speeches.

In their speeches they blamed bush for 9/11, but thats been conveniently left out. bushs fault not terrorists.

Nice rewrite iof history.

Coulter is dispicable, how soon you forget.

The 9/11 widows have more class in their little fingers than the lot of you thrown together.

Coulter is not funny, that is why it isn't satire. It's just hateful and gross. You'll go on defending someone like thatthat says a lot about your own lack of moral authority and that of all the lunatic fringe.

Dowd is right, you have no values, just opinions, and they are willfully ignorant and hateful opinions at that.

How about you cocksuckers use some of that passion you supposedly have? Where is the compassion, Christ-boy? You are a god damned fraud. Go ahead and defend Coulter you pig.

If Democrats did the same you lousy pricks would be beating your chest and pulling out your hair.

Faith based morals and values is a focking joke.

Would it be too much to ask one of you ass holes on this board who proclaims to be a Christian to ACT LIKE IT ONCE IN A WHILE?










The lot of these rightwing maggots is enough to make you puke.

Well, the latest news from the Mariana Islands show that Republicans will do anything for a buck. Even sell out their country's security.

I think the Dems should adopt that as a slogan. "Republicans = anything for a buck"

Coulter is just another amoral hack who loves nothing but the face on the silver dollar.

She is a lightning rod. A distraction.

Secret Service Seizes Gospel Tracts That Look Like Money

POSTED: 6:57 pm EDT June 6, 2006

DENTON, Texas -- It seemed like a good idea -- spreading the gospel on what would look like a $1 million bill.

But the Secret Service thought the gospel tracts being handed out by a Texas ministry looked too much like real money, and has seized $800,300 of the fake bills.

Great News Network president Darrel Rundus objects that there's no such thing as a $1 million bill, so you can't counterfeit something that doesn't exist.V But a Secret Service spokesman said someone tried to deposit one of the tracts at a bank, and close facsimiles of currency are illegal, although no charges were filed.

Rundus figures the publicity will spread the gospel more than the seized tracts, but he still plans to file a federal lawsuit to stop the Secret Service from sweeping in again.


http://www.local6.com/news/9331534/detail.html


I laughed like crazy when I read this. Tricking people into reading a tract by making it look like money then getting harrassed by the SS.

Yes, Bart, since some libs could have missed your post, here it is again! Thanks!

Early in the campaign the President's people ran a commercial where the trade towers appeared on the screen for a few seconds. The Jersey girls were all over the media denouncing him for politicizing 9-11. A few months later they were traveling around the country with Kerry's campaign making hateful ugly speeches.

And a lot more socially acceptable, as well...

Was that after Bush said of course no one should use 9/11 for politics?

The lying scum milked 9/11 for everything he could. You morals and values, nagger baby politics ass holes will throw that in again for this election too. Anything to win. Go ahead, haul the carcases up on the stage with ya, George. You may as well, ya ghoulish vermin.

TalibAnn Coulter can stand on the bodies of the victims as easy as Bush did. Neither has a problem with that if it gets Republicans votes.

Just fark off.

It’s not about perpetuating the existence of poverty by feeding the poor rather than helping them help themselves, educating and showing them how to feed themselves and that requires an active role on their part.

If throwing food money at the poor does not solve the problem, the abolishment of poverty, then what has been accomplished rather than delay the inevitable population spike in the poor that may exceed the capacity of the nations to support. Nothing noble to brag about in that solution since nothing was accomplished to live on. I and many other Christians have a differing view point than yours, which I’m sure in the end will not result in having us judged as a heartless hate monger, which is to support Christian missions and other efficient organizations that don’t squander donations on administration, who instead teach superior agricultural techniques while educating the young and old alike giving them a better chance to make it on their own some day in the foreseeable future. Yes, the government providing for the poor around the world is great as well, but doesn’t count one iota towards what we as individuals do to solve the problem.

We want the same end, but are pursuing differing avenues to obtain that goal.



Then again, who's side has waged an all out war to do just that...get any Christian values or influence out of government?

Can't have it both ways. Profess anti-Christian rethoric on one hand while appealing to select values when it's convenient to ones cause.

I'm afraid private organizations alone will never be up to the job. Christians helping Christians, Jews heling jews, doctors helping the sick, etc. There are lots of people helping people, but nothing is organized with the resources as well as government to do the job of providing a social safety net for EVERYONE.

Amen, brother.

Governments just drop tons of food, run when the war lords move in to take it away, and generally only help the situation in the long haul. Besides, that's my money as well. I'm tyalking above and beyond even that and Christian groups don't limit their education, food programs and outreach only to Christians. On the contrary, they jump at the oportunity to help non-Christians as a chance to witness.

Jesus Loves A Machine Gun


It's the new 'Left Behind' video game, where you maim and murder and hate, all in God's name. Praise!

- By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

Wednesday, June 7, 2006



Are you a true believer? Do you just know deep down in your black Wal-Mart socks that every word of the Bible is the absolute literal truth and nothing dare be doubted and anyone who thinks that God is merely an ambisexual omniblissful bloom of moist divine nondenominational honeydew melon should be strung up by their small intestine and beaten with sticks sharpened by Mel Gibson's teeth?

Do you feel, furthermore, that human cretins like, say, gays and Jews and Wiccans and all those hippie weirdos with their iPods and low-cut jeans and easy laughter are a plague upon this fine and holy land?


Do you think that contemptible books like "The Da Vinci Code" are not only blasphemy, but that you should probably go out into the street right now and behead a few lambs and perhaps mow down some Taoists with a Gatling gun just to deflect its horrible notions of the sacredness of the feminine divine? You do?

Praise Jesus! Your video game has arrived.

Behold, blessed children, the new and upcoming "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" video game, based on the freakishly best-selling series of apocalyptic trash-lit books. It's an ultraviolent, hilariously inept, wondrously accurate portrayal of what every true right-wing Christian fundamentalist really fantasizes about after they've had one too many pink wine spritzers and have logged a few hours in the gay chat rooms and have sufficiently indoctrinated their happily numb kids with tales of vile homos and scary "progressive" liberals who want to buy them candy and tattoo their sacrums and feed them organic hot dogs.

What's the game actually about? How do you play? I believe the pro-choice, pro-religion Talk to Action blog describes it best:


Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission -- both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state -- especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice.


Ah yes, the neo-Christian ideal. The ultimate dominionist police state, a smoking, reeking, post-apocalyptic vision of New York, a world teeming with nonbelievers just waiting to be either converted or massacred by nothing less than a Christianized American Taliban, a world of righteousness and judgment and death, all in the name of one very nasty and bloodthirsty God. It's "Grand Theft Auto" for the Rick Santorum set. It's "Resident Evil 4" for American Family Association types who eat too much BGH meat and never have sex.

Is it worth delineating all the appalling whorings of Christ's true message in this thing? Do you need to imagine the explosive reaction if, say, a powerful Muslim organization came out with a major video game where Islamic fundies killed hapless Christians with machine guns in order to restore the world to Allah? Or if the KKK or Aryan Nations created a game where you get to "cleanse" 'Merka of all the Jews and blacks so happy white people can stop being so scared of hip-hop? Verily, you do not.


But it is worth mentioning that, while the vast majority of sane Christians will recoil from this silly video game as violently as any sighing Wiccan, the bad news is the 10 "Left Behind" books -- a certified phenomenon, they -- have sold nearly as many copies as "The Da Vinci Code" (upward of 40 million worldwide) and their rabid fans are legion and dominionist demagogue megapastors like Rick Warren (whose megaministry is tacitly connected to the game) and famed hatemongering homophobes like James Dobson of the AMA are indoctrinating countless new and militant Christbots into their happy shiny armies of God every single day.

We can never forget: These are the people who still whisper into Dubya's ear when he's playing with his little green army men in the White House bathtub. They have stained the Supreme Court, attacked science and open discourse, made the human female nipple a symbol of shame and humiliation. Their power may be waning slightly as BushCo crumbles, but their agenda remains deeply sickening.

But hey, everyone needs a fantasy, right? Everyone needs an outlet for their violent daydreams, even fundamentalist right-wing bonk-jobs and their hapless 13-year-old male children, for whom (presumably) this game is designed. It's venomous bigotry made fun! More good news: The game should be ready just in time for Christmas.

Oh but wait. There's a lovely kicker: When you get bored with the sanctimonious drabness of fighting on the side of a hateful Christ (which, invariably, you most certainly will), the game apparently allows you to switch modes and fight for the army of the Antichrist, unleashing cloven-hoofed demons who feast on the flesh of the righteous as you blow away Bible-thumping soldiers who, just before they die, secretly confess their intense gay love for their platoon commanders. Isn't that thoughtful?

It's also a bit of genius marketing. After all, aren't the villains always far cooler and sexier than the self-righteous and the holy? The devil always has better vodka than God. Who wants to run around shooting Buddhists and praying, when you can don the armor of hell itself and drink and have dirtyfun sex and get tattoos and listen to Metallica and wear low-slung jeans and laugh easily? No one, that's who.

Which is why the game could become the sleeper hit of the year. Sure, brainwashed fundamentalist kids will love playing on the side of God. For a while. But then the dark side will beckon. The irresistible scent of rebellion will hit their noses like hot porn pizza. They will fall into the clutches of a crazy self-defined happiness, they will squirm and giggle and feel anarchic and seditious and free, running clean in a place where the beer is cold and the dancing is hot and no one is telling them they have to kill someone because that person dared to believe that God isn't, well, a misanthropic, murderous jackass.

Now that's heaven."

What would Jesus do?

Kill for Christ.

WWGJD?

I guess in the fundamentalist world you kill for Christ. AND HAVE FUN DOING IT, TOO!

Yeeeeee hawwww!!!

I mean... amen.

Just so. There is no "two ways" about it.

You can't just stop at doing things on an "individual" level. You have to look at the big picture and work for change there, too.

There is a third way, it isn't either/or, that is fallacious reasoning. There is doing both those things to the best of one's ability, and that is what we were doing, pretty much, until the rich starting wantintg a bigger slice. They have it and it isn't only the por suffering.

They do a good job with the fallacious reasoning, though. They use "religion" a a rallying cry, but a close look at their aims and goals is quite enough to convince anyone that the political aims are quite different.

It's almost convincing, though. Not quite, but almost.

Just so, Spot...a country as rich and (potentially) effective as the United States should have those sorts of matters well in hand. It's obvious that the system breaks down somewhere between aquisition & distribution. There's absolutely no reason why the vast majority of US citizens shouldn't have at the very least adequite healthcare.

These gross inefficiences shouldn't be tolerated, but thanks to a virtual rats nest of political corruption ushered in via the Bush administration, not only is our social safety net in a shambles, we have a 2.5 trillion dollar deficit that wasn't there 6 years ago.

And most Americans have had enough---and Bushco know it--just watch the way the House & the Senate vote between now & election day.

The same people who scream bloody murder when you bring up the costs of health care are the same ones who have absolutely no problem pissing away hundreds of billions of dollars, if not more, for a war.

Beyond vile.

Rove makes her look like Ghandi.

Pillow Talk?

What will General Jesus Do?

The Coming of Christ
11And I saw (A)heaven opened, and behold, a (B)white horse, and He who sat on it is called ©Faithful and True, and in (D)righteousness He judges and wages war.
12His (E)eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many (F)diadems; and He has a (G)name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.

13He is clothed with a (H)robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (I)The Word of God.

14And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in (J)fine linen, (K)white and clean, were following Him on white horses.

15(L)From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that (M)with it He may strike down the nations, and He will (N)rule them with a rod of iron; and (O)He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.

16And on His robe and on His thigh He has (P)a name written, "(Q)KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Come on Reverend Davis you should know this passage by now.........

There's plenty of blame to go around on this. The liberals use their status as victims to plug them into the talk circuits as their talking heads against the administration and in redirecting blame for pre 9/11 intelliegence, but then make the liberal view that they're untouchable. The same with Cindy Sheehan.

Yeah they're victims and deserve privacy and respect, but when they choose to vacate their right to privacy and instead use their status as an advocay platform, they loose immunity. That's the law of the land and a free society free to freedom of expression and not just for liberals claiming to be Christians and quoting the bible in furtherance of shutting down opposition to their views and slandering Christians and other people. Was her attack extreme, yes, but under it all was a point to be made.

Maybe that's a good enough reason for you to act like an acid-tongued hatred spewing demon and say horrendously ugly things to the loved ones of horrible tragedies...but in my so-called "liberal" world, that sort of behaviour is completely unacceptable.

Again, it seems we have a difference over the concept of integrity.

Plop, plot, fiz fix...it is. Yes; one might be led to think there is a difference. Antacid, is it?

Oh yeah---and all the while holding their Bible in the air proclaiming loudly and proudly how superior is their "Christianity"....and with the help of their Superior Jesus, they're going to invade other countries to spread Americanism...because they know what's best...no matter how many other people have to die.

I've noticed they seem to have no problem having other people die for their beliefs....it's a sacrifice they are willing to make.




huh? <scratching head> Sometimes reading your posts leads me to think that you are very pro acid.

All you need in this life is ignorance and arrogance; then success is sure.

It depends on how one measures "success", I suppose---

However, if ignorance & arrogance are measurements of success, then Geo. B & his vacuous legions are the most successful group of people I've ever seen.

I don't remember exactly how the joke goes, but ... Clemmons, when confronted on his supposed agnosticism, retorted: Upon my passing, should I find myself meeting St. Peter at the Golden Gates before my introduction to god, I will most humbly apologize for my ignorance.

Ahh yes, nowwwww I get it---ever the coy boy, eh rosie?

Your sig line. Not mine, bixbabe

Who's spewing what? You libs line them up and put them before the cameras for your own selfish political agenda, gleefully rubbing your hands together in anticipation, and then feign indignation when they're not given immunity from the political fracass? Take a look in the mirror and repeat all you liberal bull poopy back at yourself!!

I'm not the one excusing that witches behaviour--that would be you!

Aha! Gotcha....

You expect me to remember those?!!!

They change with the weather....

For heavens sake.

Here's an easy litmus test:

If you consider yourself a conservative and you haven't distanced yourself from her, you're a part of the lunatic fringe:





On that last Sullivan links conservativwe blogs, and no self-respecting conservative, let alone "christian," is making excuses for her.

Rene thinks he's some sort of moderate, but he's just another fargin zealot. He thinks that a response of "worthless fark" to a question about what ZZarqawi 's death signifies (such an outrageous question on a political board) is just trading "nasty for nasty"

Like hunin says, he's a noob, and not a particularly swift or quick one.

As one of the conservative commentators observed, Coulters words were uttered to hurt and wound those women personally. In case you meathead zealots don't see the line there, it's fairly obvious to 80% of the country.

Let them defend her. Let her be the VOICE of these so called "christian conservatives." That will hasten their retreat under the slimey rocks she drew them out from.



And good riddance. She's made plenty of money off 9/11. So has Bush, Cheney, and their hate-spewing fans.

Just more ribbons over the fence...I s'pose.

Righteous! Libs spout and spew their bile everywhere, but if they get a little bit back they're SOOOO offended.

You people are just as empty as Coulter, apparently.



You have my pity.
