On the other hand, they had some helpful quotes:

Coulter says that she holds Christian beliefs, but has not declared her membership in any particular denomination; she has mentioned that her father was Catholic while her mother was not.[52] At one public lecture she said: “I don’t care about anything else: Christ died for my sins and nothing else matters.”[53] In a 2004 column,[54] she summarized her view of Christianity: “Jesus’ distinctive message was: People are sinful and need to be redeemed, and this is your lucky day because I’m here to redeem you even though you don’t deserve it, and I have to get the **** kicked out of me to do it.” She then mocked “the message of Jesus … according to liberals,” summarising it as “…something along the lines of ‘be nice to people’,” which, in turn, she said “is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity”.

Confronting some critics’ views that her content and style of writing is un-Christian, [55][56] Coulter has stated that “I’m a Christian first and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don’t you ever forget it.”[57] She has also said: “… Christianity fuels everything I write. Being a Christian means that I am called upon to do battle against lies, injustice, cruelty, hypocrisy — you know, all the virtues in the church of liberalism.”[28]

In Godless: The Church of Liberalism, as well as in personal appearances, Coulter characterized evolution as “bogus science”,[58][59] and contrasting her beliefs to what she called the left’s “obsession with Darwinism and the Darwinian view of the world, which replaces sanctification of life with sanctification of sex and death.”[60]
 
And here is a more complete set of quotes from the “democraticunderground”:

[pretty amazing what you can find on the internet without too much hunting][great for when you are burning time at an airport terminal]

here’s an exerpt of her filth:

But the loony-left is testy with Gibson for spending so much time on Jesus’ suffering and death while giving “short shrift to Jesus’ ministry and ideas” – as another Times reviewer put it. According to liberals, the message of Jesus, which somehow Gibson missed, is something along the lines of “be nice to people” (which to them means “raise taxes on the productive”).

You don’t need a religion like Christianity, which is a rather large and complex endeavor, in order to flag that message. All you need is a moron driving around in a Volvo with a bumper sticker that says “be nice to people.” Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity (as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of “kill everyone who doesn’t smell bad and doesn’t answer to the name Mohammed”). But to call it the “message” of Jesus requires … well, the brain of Maureen Dowd.

In fact, Jesus’ distinctive message was: People are sinful and need to be redeemed, and this is your lucky day because I’m here to redeem you even though you don’t deserve it, and I have to get the **** kicked out of me to do it. That is the reason He is called “Christ the Redeemer” rather than “Christ the Moron Driving Around in a Volvo With a ‘Be Nice to People’ Bumper Sticker on It.”

You really should read the whole thing

anncoulter.com/

The misspelled words were as they were typed by the person on democraticunderground. And the four asterisks mask the word “cr*p” … nothing more scatological or scandalous than that.
 
There is actually a Web site with Coulter quotes:

brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/a/ann_coulter.html

And the column she wrote that is available today discusses how to solve the alleged crisis on health care and the effect of national healthcare:

anncoulter.com/

It’s dated August 19th and I’m sure she will write something appropriate about Ted Kennedy.

She has written about Senator Kennedy in the past. It might be best if you google it yourself. [You really want to get liberals’ hackles up!!??!!] Google “coulter kennedy”
 
That’s why I’m spreading the word here on this message-board, for the benefit of the unenlightened. 😉
Oh, are you her publisher?

If so perhaps you could put one of those bands with that disclaimer on the cover of her books - could have the added benefit to cover some of the other things she seems bent on sharing on the covers, — and IMHO were it anyone else’s book — many who defend her rhetoric here ---- would clearly denounce those covers as almost pornographic photos.
 
I would not equate Coulter and Jesus … b-u-t … on the other hand, Jesus often was not very nice in the way he spoke.

In my idle time I looked up the word “Gahenna”. Jesus used it a lot. Almost enough to qualify for a bumpersticker on his Volvo.

goingtojesus.com/site/php/books.php?tname=hell:11:18

[A friend of mine moved to Gahenna, Ohio … for the life of me I cannot figure out why they gave the town that name!]

Here is more about Jesus the nice guy.

tentmaker.org/articles/jesusteachingonhell.html

[The author has a problem with the RC church, but still he gets heavy on Gehenna, since Jesus used the word quite a bit.]

Harsh language. Pretty edgy sarcasm and pretty heavy judgmental commentary. Of course, Jesus is actually the Judge, so he is allowed to be judgmental.

Anyway, Coulter refers to Jesus a lot. And paraphrases him using modern language.

Gahenna.

The Catholic Encyclopedia does not have an entry for either Gahenna (or for Coulter, for that matter). But it does have an article on Hell … which does mention Gahenna (although not Coulter).

um…

in case you haven’t noticed, NICE Christians don’t get anywhere either…

people take kindness for weakness…

(people who have no integrity, that is)
There is only one place all Christians should want to ‘get’ — and kindness is a much better road which leads that way…

Are you saying that Ann doesn’t have integrity? Because I think we would find that we agree on that.
 
i was trying to stay out of this one but this post above is nothing if not rediculous. i can totally understand why someone would dislike ann coulter based on abrasive personality. but you accused her of being “blatantly racist and xenophobic” which i know if not true. ive read all her books and read each and every one of her weekly columns.

you are going to have to back that up otherwise you are falsely accusing her and disparaging her reputation on a public forum.

i challenge you to give us some examples to support these claims. if you cannot then you are guilty of much more than she ever has.

All we need to back it up is that she said the difference between the Russians and Muslims was that they were white men and they were sane, while Muslims are absolutely insane savage (and, as is blatantly obvious by her sentence structure, not white). That’s racist and xenophobic. Also, her line about how if there were no Muslims on planes, we could dispense with security all together. As I’m sure you’ll point out, it is technically not racist (although I’m sure she’s talking about Arabs and ignoring Black Muslims altogether), but it is quite xenophobic. Oh, what about the bit about killing all the leaders of the Middle East and forcibly converting them to Christianity?

you’re kidding me right?
 
hey you gotta give credit where credit is due…that’s pretty funny!

however i really dont think its racist to point out that Russians are typically white or that islamic terrorists are insane savages…she is merely pointing out two facts.

by the way, which one of those two statements do you find offensive?

I don’t think everyone shares your sense of humor -

Coulter has stated that “I’m a Christian first and a mean-spirited, bigoted conservative second, and don’t you ever forget it.”

that is a fair statement, that not everybody shares this type of humor which i truly think is the crux of the matter.

tone is so hard to get across in these threads isn’t it — I think I needed to add the :rolleyes: the rolleyes to follow my comment about ‘your sense of humor’ ---- it is that some think this is funny MANY others find it offensive. So when this disparity occurs do think that maybe those who think it is funny could pause and consider why?

So Ann Coulter is really a comedian??? Where does she do her comedy routines? Has she ever been at the Apollo? She and Chris Rock would be good together–make for a lot of sparks and fire… He calls it like he sees it too–but he doesn’t hide the fact that he’s a comedian, and no one mistakes his jokes for serious commentary …

its called satire and sarcasm, either you get it or you dont. however, she is probably funnier than alot of so-called comedians ive seen.

i also find it funny that you dont get sarcasm even though you are a sarcastic person based on your comment. based on your sarcastic comment above someone could accuse you of caller her a comedian. obviously you dont really think she is a comedian so i am not one that would accuse you of that. and since being a comedian is not seen as a negative thing i doubt too many people will bother with it.

I can’t figure out if you are being sarcastic or funny. Is your name, jokerman, reflective of the Joker from Batman–or something else–that might lend a clue. What is your relationship with Ann? Are you in love with her too?

I guess it depends*** who ***says it and in ***what ***context. Maybe Chris Rock (a comedian by profession) could get away with saying this–but not many others, and certainly not in a serious dialog…

I say Ann deserves a pie in the face for that one…

Elise, i know what you mean about tone and i agree.

I honestly think its just a matter of personal preference or taste. not everything she says is funny or meant to be funny but most of the examples ive seen given here are when she is being sarcastic or something like that. its to be taken with a grain of salt. these comment shouldnt take away from the Point that she is trying to make. in my eyes she is making good points, she just peppers them with biting sarcasm, but that is just her personality. the comment that you quoted earlier is obviously meant to poke fun at how her detractors label her as mean and vicious, you cannot take a comment like that literally. im sure she sees herself as a good person even if you dont.

i am not easilly offended so her rhetoric doesnt bother me but its certainly not the reason that i like her either. what i like is her intelligence and original thought. she makes points that nobody else is making even on topics that everyone is talking about. she sees the big picture like nobody else (in my opinion) and gets right to the heart of it.

so its not a question of “why do i think its funny” its more like, “why i’m not offended by this”.

anyway hope this helps.
