“It’s Christianity that the left hates most of all because that is the foundation of our country and all of our freedoms come from that,” Coulter said. “The rest of the world is a cesspool of violence and atrocities. This is the most consequential nation on Earth and the fact that these Christians would rather get praise from the New York Times and Nicholas Kristof by changing bedpans of Ebola patients in Nigeria, rather than stand up to the New York Times and fight against abortion and fight against these bullies, and I don’t think it’s gay bullies, I think it’s as you call them, secular progressives or liberals. The media, they’re the ones who are trying to tear down this country by going directly at the heart of America which is Christianity.”

Some say, that she only sleeps once a month! And that she has a banana she'd like to present to Ray Comfort!
All we know is, she's called Ann Coulter!! [/Jeremy Clarkson]
Jesus didn't say a word about abortion, but had quite a bit to say about helping those in need.
Changing the bedpans of desperately ill people would certainly qualify; staying home to help the wealthy further escalate the fake fights they create to get stupid people to vote them into power, not.
Ann "I reject the whole of observable reality and substitute my own even as I personally contradict it" Coulter strikes again.
Also how is Christianity the heart of the nation if such massive numbers of people are "attacking" it and nobody is standing up for it? You may as well say that Christianity is the heart of Islam. It makes at least as much sense.
> Oh no, she is definitly a Poe. She's just a professional one, who realizes that be people pay more attention to her if she phrases everything she says in the worst possible way.
A Poe is an attempt at satire that is mistaken for the real thing, so a Poe does not want people to think they're sincere. A troll is attempting to gather attention by being deliberately outrageous, so a troll wants people to think they're sincere.
Ann Coutler is a professional troll, not a Poe.
@ Indicible
Apparently to people like Coulter there is only America and the Third world. Places like France and Australia only exist when they have a terrorist attack otherwise it's just the middle east, Africa, and America.
@Nemo
No, that's pretty much what American Christians are about these days. Fuck the poor and the sick, we gotta stop these women from exercising their rights over their own bodies! That's what Jesus wants us to do!
The enemies of our country are the non-Christians....er....the Christians that fight Ebola in Africa....er.....abortion.....the gays......er......secular progressives.....er....liberals.....er....the media....
Sweetie, you are part of the media. Get a grip.
It disappoints me how many responses to Ann Coulter hinge on the fact that she's a woman, and the opinion that she's not conventionally attractive. At Salon, and usually here, every comment has a derogatory, misogynistic, and often transphobic slur just ready to go for the woman who doesn't support our movement and is thus worthless as a human being. It's hypocritical and shameful. Hopefully the comments thus far are an indication of a turnaround. </rant>
"The rest of the world is a cesspool of violence and atrocities."
Haven't been around much have you? You might also want to check statistics in crime, health care and education as well.
Well, abortion isn't an epidemic like Ebola (even tho Ebola won't last, at least the medics are preventing many lives from being lost). Ebola kills people who suffer from it after inflicting excruciating pain. And 'murica is not the only important country.
The thing about Ann Coulter is, she's not as hot as she seems to think she is, or as the right-wing assholes like to present her as. She tries to sell her message with "sex appeal" that she doesn't really have (not with those bony legs), while right-wingers all say rude things about Hillary Clinton's looks, as if she looked any worse than most of the old right-wing MEN whose looks nobody ever says anything about, because apparently, only a woman's physical appearance matters, and who she is can't be separated from that. If you bring up a man's looks, you're being shallow, apparently. It's sexist hypocrisy.
"The rest of the world is a cesspool of violence and atrocities."
Okay. Who gave Ann the Dirty Sanchez?
I might be of help reconciling the concept of "Christianity" to this kind of rant. In the minds of some, "Christians" are those people that murdered, raped, cheated and shoved the Native Americans off their land, from sea to shining sea. Some have a problem with that, and some admire it.
Also, "Freedom of Religion" means, "What Christian denomination of dieseling disgruntled asshole hiding their hatred behind religion are you?"
Does that help clear things up?
GodDAMN Ann Coulter is fucking stupid. Ann if Christianity is basis for our freefom, explain the following in any order
The Dark Ages when Christianity ran supreme
Salem 1690s. When we would have been theocracy
Christian theocracies in other countries veing third world nations rife with corruption and human rights violations and being antithetical to freedom
First amendment which allows us to worship any deity without fear while the Bible would have those of us of different faiths slaughtered. Why are atheists allowed to not believe in any deity while Bible would have them slaughtered? Unbelievers are routinely killed throughout your Bible. Antithetical to freedom
And you have the nerve to call those of us that identify as pro-choice as anti-life! Fuck you, as you only care about "life" when it's a fetus involved, and that's only for political purposes. The indifference to genuine suffering here has exposed yourself once more, and paints you to be an anti-Christian activist as well as an anti-life one. I doubt Jesus would be proud of your opposition to charitable acts.

Troll would probably be a better word for it. If you take her seriously at all, whether it be because you agree with her, or because you feel outraged at her, then you've been trolled. Very hard. She's getting rich doing it too.
Oh, it's ol' Annie, again.
Among the stuff she rails against is Feminism. I would love to tell her that without Feminism, she wouldn't be doing what she's doing.
I think she's a total bonehead but I also find the transphobic "Ann The Man" comments are also boneheaded.
Also, it seems she can't accept that she's old news and is like "I'm still relevant! Listen to MEEEEEE!".
"Among the stuff she rails against is Feminism. I would love to tell her that without Feminism, she wouldn't be doing what she's doing."
Like Serena Joy in The Handmaid's Tale. She used to be an anti-feminist televangelist.
It's the time of the establishment of Gilead. A furious, disbelieving Serena has been told she's to be made a Commander's wife.
Serena (to X, a member of The Eyes): "But your now-government employers told me that if I supported them, *I* would be allowed to carry on with *my* life and career like before!!"
X: "They lied!"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
