Ann Coulter 2

Ann Coulter is still at it. She has previously stated her belief that Bill Clinton has homosexual tendencies, called (she said jokingly) Al Gore a 'fag', and now she continues her homophobic commentary by going after Hillary Clinton.

From Media Matters [my emphasis]:

From Coulter's August 2 column:

Q: Does Hillary Clinton have a good chance in 2008? What are her strengths and weaknesses? What did her reaction to your "Jersey girls" comments tell you about her as a potential candidate?

A: Good chance of what? Coming out of the closet? I'd say that's about even money.
Her strength is her first name; her weakness is her last.

What is the deal with her obsession with homosexuality recently?

In an interview with the Baltimore Sun, she said the following

Q:You're often described as "divisive" and "mean-spirited," yet you describe yourself as a serious Christian. Is this a contradiction?

A:I'm a Christian first and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don't you ever forget it. You know who else was kind of "divisive" in terms of challenging the status quo and the powers-that-be of his day? Jesus Christ.

I know she's joking a bit, but (1) failing to recognize that being called a mean-spiritied, bigoted Christian would be an oxymoron, and (2) comparing herself to Jesus Christ? She's going WAY out there. The answer to the question, by the way, is 'Yes, it is a contradiction.'

More from the Baltimore Sun article:

She's accused the widows of 9/11 victims of enjoying their husbands' deaths, has attacked public school teachers as "taxpayer-supported parasites" and routinely slams moderate politicians - right and left.

From one column: "Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do. If they had that much energy, they'd have indoor plumbing by now." On the 9/11 terrorists: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." And from last week: "I knew the events in the Middle East were big when the New York Times devoted nearly as much space to them as it did to a ... court ruling rejecting gay marriage."

Jesus would indeed be divisive now, as he was in biblical times, but not divisive due to homophobia or attacking 9/11 widows. Bigotry would not be a part of his preaching.

If you know someone who reads her articles and buys her books, see what you can do to get them to stop.
