Ann Coulter Calls World Net Daily “Fake Christians” After Homocon Criticism

video
» 183 comments

World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah made a public point to take Ann Coulter off the list of speakers at an upcoming event for her participation in Homocon this year (a conference for gay conservatives).

Coulter fired back, calling Farah “swine” and a “publicity whore.” Last night on Fox News’ Red Eye, she took it a step further, referring to WND as “fake Christians.”

Guest host Andy Levy introduced the segment: “Ann’s been canned over a bunch of manly mans.”

Bill Schulz turned the tables on conservatives who preach against homosexuality. “If you’re walking around all day being like ‘men are having sex, men are having sex!’ then look in the mirror cause you might be a gay,” he said.

Then Coulter weighed in, highlighting Farah’s birther beliefs. “He’s pushing the birther thing,” she said. “No one who is conservative believes in it either, someone who wants to get hits for his website may promote it.”

And later: “These are fake Christians trying to get publicity.”

Homocon takes place September 25 in New York City. Coulter will be speaking – and Schulz says he’ll be in attendance.

Here’s the segment:

    There is a reason I call it World Nut Daily.

    It’s the Think (NOT) Progress of the right.

    Ann, we’re all still waiting for Obama’s

    Long Form Birth Certificate
    WITH
    the doctor’s name,
    signature
    and date/time of birth,
    along with the PLACE of birth. No one has ever displayed this information. Until then, I’m a proud “birther”

    WND laid out a clear scriptural reason why they rescinded their invite…whether you agree with it or not (I can see both sides of the issue and don’t have an opinion) they are entitled to their opinions and their scriptural reasons you have not disputed.

    Are you going to refund WND’s 50% deposit on your speakers fee??? If not, then you have unclean hands in this issue.

  • Fox News: We proudly pander to Teabaggers

    Well I finally found something I can agree with Ann Coulter on, although I would extend that “Fake Christians” label to the readers of Free Republic and Atlas Shrugs.

    Oh, with respect to the birther maggots, the time to start establishing new documentation standards for establishing the qualification of a person to run for a given elective office, is well before a person is elected.

    The certification of constitutional qualification for the office of president

    DC Knows that Obama is Ineligible for Office

    Members from all three branches of the Federal government already know that Barack Hussein Obama is ineligible for the office of President. National leaders, to include members of the US Supreme Court, already know that Barack Hussein Obama is not a “natural born citizen” of the United States of America, and therefore, is ineligible for the office he currently holds. (See JB’s new article on The Bottom Line on Natural Born Citizen)

    What they don’t know is how long it will take for most Americans to figure it out, or what to do about it.

    The diversionary search for an authentic birth certificate is ongoing and Obama has now spent in excess of $2 million in legal fees to keep that search alive.

    Omigod, another certifiable birther!! I thought all of those quacks had crawled back under their rock!!!

  • murf

    World Net Daily writer/editors are a bunch self righteous people, Ann’s 100 % correct .

    As far as the Birther movement , it’s a lost cause , even IF documentation were to appear proving Idonesia or Kenya citizenship , the MSM would immediately discredit it as far-out, and wold not report or investigate the findings . It’s pointless .

  • juan

    All of the Secretaries of State did not certify that Obama was eligible!

    This is SCARY:

    The Mistake, The Evidence, Obama is NOT a constitutional president

    The Theory is Now a Conspiracy And Facts Don’t Lie

    . . . A political national committee, the Chair of the Party convention, the Secretary of the Party, Party offices in each of fifty states, and maybe many Ð many more, have knowingly and wantonly defrauded the American election system and more than 300 million American citizens.

    They plotted and planned an act of evil, unlawful, treacherous fraud in a blind quest for unbridled political power, and they hoped that you would never catch it. They almost got away with it too…

    They snuck it past fifty state election commissions, congress, the US Supreme Court and Justice Department, the Federal Elections Commission and countless members of the Electoral College nationwide. Not a single member of the, as Limbaugh says, “drive-by media” caught it either, or if they did, they decided to become complicit for their own political reasons.

    Another candidate for the nut fringe, another birther. This whole birther thing was promulgated by either a series of very stupid people, or some very sinister righters who knew very stupid people would believe it.

    I am assuming, then, that you are a birther, or someone who will use anything — lies, innuendo, whatever — to make personal attacks against President Obama. That you think the birther “movement” is a lost cause doesn’t mean a thing. You did not belie it, as even Gordo did.

    Historians will debate it for years to come. But one thing we know for sure, Obama was not president when it happened. If he was, and there was even a shred of evidence that we might have dropped the ball, you would be blaming him.

    Actually, what I said that those folks who believe in the birther conspiracy are either stupid or trying to use those people. I did not say anyone who disagrees with me is uneducated, etc. I have actually found some your comments to be quite good. But when you use the birther thing, even with a big IF, well, I disagree with you. I believe that if some crap was found, all the media would go after that. The drive by media is a Limbaugh myth. Remember the Clinton years, or the Carter years? The media had a field day with them.

    I’m not a birther, I just wonder why the President of the United States, regardless of who it is, doesn’t have to prove that he meets the Constitutional requirements for the office. I’ve applied for Federal jobs and, for those that require that I be a citizen, I have to offer proof. Why not for the President? He is required to be a natural born citizen and to be at least 35 why doesn’t he just show his birth certificate? Isn’t he supposed to be the transparent President?

    Alamo you can neither prove or disprove Barack H. Obama’s birth place , but you have the nerve to say anyone who doubts you is ignorant .

  • newzmaker

    I don’t get into the place of Obama’s birth, usually, because his mother is an American. I do find it odd, though, that his mother was living with a Kenyan dude, became pregnant, then, moved to Hawaii, to have the kid. The original birth certificate debate was brought about, due to questions of whether he had actually been born on American soil. If he hadn’t been born on American soil, he doesn’t qualify to run as president. Someone, please find that Kenyan birth certificate. LOL.

    There is so much stuff in which to debate, I told you & others that unless you have that UNDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE the press will turn you into the equivalent of the 9/11 truthers and they did!

    Right now you don’t control the game Obama does, he doesn’t have to turn over that card. Remember that when a week or two before the election in 2012 and you and Malzberg & Cuningham are all over the press and it’s nothing but BIRTHER! BIRTHER! BIRTHER! And Obama turns over the card and it says beyond the shadow of a doubt he was born a US Citizen.

    The birthers can not take a joke. The only reason they have not released the birth certificate is because it serves his purpose to piss them off.

Yes, it sounds fucked up, but these same liberals knew NO bounds when it came to Bush . Fuck em’

    This is getting like batting practice.

    Democrats divided over proposed New York City mosque By Chris Cillizza……By Chris Cillizza???????? No far right wing nut here!

    “How can this possibly be helpful when feelings are still so raw on the issue?” asked a senior Democratic political operative who is working on multiple congressional races. “It’s best to say nothing and let the process and appeals unfold.” Added another seasoned Democratic consultant: Obama “is right on substance but wrong on politics, and right now we need to focus on politics.”

    Chris Cillizza a favorite of MSNBC’! My My My! So what was that the Republicans have fallin’ into? Hope they didn’t hurt any Democrats that are already there!

And don’t you think if there were any doubt at all of his birthplace the McCain campaign – and for that matter the Clinton campaign – would of had a field day.

    Berg continued, “The pressure is building to force Obama/Soetoro to admit that he is an Imposter, a Fraud, a Phony and his tale is the largest ‘Hoax’ in the history of the United States, over 234 years. Actually, the pressure is building because the overwhelming evidence is that Obama/Soetoro was born in Africa and more important is the fact that Obama was adopted/acknowledged by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro, in Indonesia and Obama’s ‘legal’ name became ‘Barry Soetoro’ and there is no evidence that he has legally changed his name and therefore, every time he uses the name of ‘Barack Hussein Obama’ he has and is committing fraud.”

    Berg concluded, “I am in the final days of planning for the largest March/Rally in Washington, DC in October 2010 to force Obama/Soetoro to step down from the Office of President, a position he is not Constitutionally eligible to be President as he is an ‘Usurper’ and he has led our country into a Constitutional crisis. When Obama/Soetoro steps down, all of the laws, appointments and programs including ObamaCare will end because all of them are ‘voidable’”.

    Valkyrie, Obama played a lot of people in the 08′ election , but trust me , it will not work again. He captured the idependent vote in 08′ , which will not happen again. African-American , democrat vote – sure , republican , indie vote ( which is the majority btw ) , no .

  • Azarkhan

    “Obama is playing you.” Valkyrie

    LOL. Of course he is. Because hey, The One attended Harvard and knows Everything. He KNEW this whole birther issue would arise and be a detriment to the GOP. He KNEW 24% of Americans would think (after he’s been in office for 19 months) that he’s a Muslim. Obama even KNEW that unemployment would be at 9.5% and rising two months before the midterm election.

    Pres Obama is a fucking bungler. Nancy Pelosi (especially) and Harry Reid are the main reason the Democrats have been able to push through an extremist agenda in Congress. Ms. Pelosi will pay by losing her position as Speaker of the House. Harry Reid will be lucky if he’s even around next year.

    The race between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle is rated a toss-up in Real Clear. If she’s a “fruitnut”, what does that make Harry Reid?

    RichS says: I’m not a birther, I just wonder why the President of the United States, regardless of who it is, doesn’t have to prove that he meets the Constitutional requirements for the office. I’ve applied for Federal jobs and, for those that require that I be a citizen, I have to offer proof. Why not for the President? He is required to be a natural born citizen and to be at least 35 why doesn’t he just show his birth certificate? Isn’t he supposed to be the transparent President? He does it because he likes to keep the issue alive. They think it makes the right look crazy EVEN though most of us aren’t birthers AND it was HILLARY that first brought it up.

    Yes Michelle you are correct with Hillary, but the press has been successful in turning this into a far-right issue.
    Mainstream Republicans, Conservatives & Independents know this and look at other issues. Is Obama losing Independents in droves because of Birther Talk? No, in fact Birther Talk is not even on the list. And your also right that it is the Democrats that are keeping this alive, but people like Steve Malzberg, Bill Cuningham, and World Nut Daily help keep it alive.

    And let’s put this 9/11 truther, Obama Birther, Impeachment Lunatic Talk to rest shall we?

    ( from about.com) No American President has ever been forced from office due to impeachment.

    In fact, only four times in our history, has Congress held serious discussions of impeachment:

    •Andrew Johnson was actually impeached when Congress became unhappy with the way he was dealing with some post-Civil War matters, but Johnson was acquitted in the Senate by one vote and remained in office.

    •Congress introduced a resolution to impeach John Tyler over state’s rights issues, but the resolution failed.

    •Congress was debating his impeachment over the Watergate break-in when President Richard Nixon resigned.

    •William J. Clinton was impeached by the House on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in relationship to his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clinton was eventually acquitted by the Senate.

    Both sides have tried it, NOBODY has every won.

    And just to give you a clue there Chili, You need approval of BOTH houses so I know you would LOVE to see the Republicans go hog wild when they take back the Congress, but it won’t happen no matter what Mike Malloy wants you to believe.

    And any Republicans here thinking “well what if we win the Senate too?” I got two words for you LINDSEY GRAHAM and like it or not. he’s in until 2014.

    OK. There is nothing to say about “Obamacare” because Obama campaigned on his intention to go for national health care, in some form. So he accomplished what he promised. Though, without republican support, a watered down version. He said during his campaign he would end the war in Iraq on a time line withdrawl, and he has done that. He said he would focus our war efforts in Afganistan, and he has done that. He said he would let the Bush tax cuts expire, and he did. And this man won the election by a wide margin. When you win the election and implement the promises you made, why would that sour the middle on Obama? Everyone knows the financial crisis was at a fever pitch in the last months of Bush’s term. Obama was not the President, his policies were not in place, all the bailouts arose, without a doubt, during the Bush terms. And subsequent other bailouts did occur under Obama, but how can Obama be accused for the underlying economic crisis, in full bloom, before he took office? And indeed, Obama is definitely a moderate, and not a liberal, on war. You may not like Obama, but don’t accuse him of not trying sincerely to keep his campaign promises.

Still, when I see demonstrators waving Mexican flags and the Democrats in the US Congress applauding a Mexican president as he criticizes the state of Arizona, it makes me wonder.

    Healthcare reform was definitely an Obama campaign promise. So you are not too up to speed on reality on that. Sure, you don’t like it, but that is different than Obama not promising reform, which he did, repeatedly. The tax cuts are expiring and there has been much discussion on that with Obama clearly opposing efforts by republicans to keep them in place. The war in Afganistan may not be popular, but during the campaign Obama said we needed to focus our efforts there. Your argument is essentially the same one made by Republicans before the election, before Obama won by a significant margin, with a clear mandate to implement the policies he ran on.

    Pablo said:

    Obama had the power to block the mosque on national security grounds. And the right was urging him to do that. But he said no to that. Instead he properly recognized the 10th Amendment Rights of the local jurisdiction to exercise authority in accord with the Constitution. And Blumberg, bless him, immediately got the message, and along with a coalition of churches, temples, and other “leftwing” groups, etc. supported the right to build, and gave their blessing to build, the community center/mosque. Then a bunch of outsiders came in ginning up controversy. Then, after that, Obama stated his support for the first amendment rights of moderate Islamics to build the mosque. That is a protection of the 1st Amendment. And afterward Obama clarified by saying he was not saying whether the mosque should be built there or not. And that represents a defense of 10th Amendment, again. It is not for the President to exercise pressure on the State body by stating his opinion. And Obama refused to do so. I call that rigorous defense of the 10th Amendment. Obama acted like he knows the Constitition.

And please tell me who these people on the right (which, this thing has tons of bi- and non-partisan opposition) were who were urging him to exercise this authority he doesn’t have.

    So your belief is that President can not block something, in a state, on national security grounds? Better read the Patriot Act. He can step in on any dangerous, terror related, matter. Obama was out there protecting your 10th Amendment rights, and all this time you didn’t know that? Did I mention Obama used to teach Constitutional law at the University of Chicago? Your problems with Obama do not relate to the Constitution, or his exercise of it, but I’m betting you don’t like people from Chicago. A Chica-phobe. Am I right? Are you really from St. Louis?

    Yes. And even if such an authority existed, which it does not, a house of worship wouldn’t qualify.

    Better read the Patriot Act. He can step in on any dangerous, terror related, matter.

    What does that have to do with real estate development? He can step in on kidnapping too. So? Do you know something about this mosque you’re not telling us?

    Obama was out there protecting your 10th Amendment rights, and all this time you didn’t know that?

    No, he wasn’t. He was demagoguing an issue that had already been resolved for the benefit of an audience that ate it up. The 10th Amendment doesn’t have a damned thing to do with this.

    Did I mention Obama used to teach Constitutional law at the University of Chicago?

    I know. You’d think he’d understand the thing. Instead, he’s quite disappointed in that “fundamentally flawed” document.

    Your problems with Obama do not relate to the Constitution, or his exercise of it, but I’m betting you don’t like people from Chicago.

    I do tend to distrust Chicago politicians, mostly because I’m sentient. Hell, they don’t trust each other, so why should I?

    So you admit that Obama does have the power, or not? Your response is ambiguous.

    Yes, it does. The state right of regulating its citizens under the 10th Amendment, as opposed to federal government interference pursuant to the Patriot Act. Obama chose to not exercise federal authority under the Patriot Act. That was an important Constitutional decision on his part.

    Valkyrie — Radical Islam doesn’t discriminate , not matter Obama’s Muslim outreach , they still want to kill , him , me , you , and all of America .

    John – I think you’re right on this one, however the vast majority of Muslims are not radical and just want to live their lives in peace. They’ve let a group of pseudo-faithful bullies take over and torture their own people (Taliban law) seeking always to squelch any resistance or independent though. Much like our own homegrown American Taliban, the pseudo-christian hate mongers who spew their nastiness everywhere. I can’t stand what’s come to be a public “face” of my faith and I am actively involved in fighting back against these people. I can’t say I like Ann Coulter, but I do respect her willingness to stand up to bullies. It takes a lot of courage to do that when so many of her fans would be part of this group. I haven’t seen many politicians willing to resist fundamentalist hate whether they are from Afganistan, Pakistan or our own beloved country. Kathy

    The war in Afganistan may not be popular, but during the campaign Obama said we needed to focus our efforts there. Your argument is essentially the same one made by Republicans before the election, before Obama won by a significant margin, with a clear mandate to implement the policies he ran on.

    He muddled the clear mandate!

    Healthcare reform was definitely an Obama campaign promise. So you are not too up to speed on reality on that. Sure, you don’t like it, but that is different than Obama not promising reform, which he did, repeatedly.

    He mentioned Healthcare reform! The refrom he campaigned for is not what we got! Healthcare was at the bottom of issues during the campaign!

    Here is what I wrote: “He said he would let the Bush tax cuts expire, and he did.” Is that not what Obama, and democratic majority has done, taken no action to re-implement the tax cuts and announced that they are letting them expire? Which is to say, they are letting the tax cuts expire.

    He qualified the issue for the republicans so that they could switch their argument from “stopping the mosque” to urging that it is a bad idea.

    I dealt with the Code Pink , NOW , MoveOn crowd for 8 years. I could personally give two shits about these liberals , as far as I’m concerned we should investigate Barack’s two kids and see if they’re legitmately his. Yes, it sounds fucked up, but these same liberals knew NO bounds when it came to Bush . Fuck em’. Yes, it sounds fucked up, but these same liberals knew NO bounds when it came to Bush . Fuck em’

    Like Hell that sounds “Fucked Up”, murf.

    President and Mrs. Bush and The Bush Girls for Eight Years on a Loop, then McCain’s Dark and Spooky Music Skin Cancer Ad, and do we really Need to go down the memory lane Checklist of President, “Let Me Be UNclear, People’s families are off-limits …And people’s children are Especially off-limits.” Obama’s Attacks on the Palin Kids? Where the Hell Was (Then) Senator NoCojones to say This ends Here and Now!?

    Becuase as I’ve said here before, I was born and raised in Chicago, but I’ve been a Reagan-Conservative since age 15, (80′) thanks TO Chicago Politics and to the Peanut Farmer Too. So I Lived and Learned as much as I could about it til’ Age 32 before the move Here, which is why I’m just “guessing” that Barry and Michelle were in some Ritzy Hotel room in Chicago w/Axelrod and Jarrett etc, planning their Next ‘off limits’ 527 Attack on the McCains and Palins, and their Next one, and their Next One, and their…

    The Greater Shame Imo, though, was that no Coulter-style Counter-attacks Ever came. i.e, when those Tolerant, and Ever-So Loving of The Underprivileged Children, OH THE CHILDREN, fired the First Shot, then it Should’ve Been Scorched Earth…or You Kneecap Them Asap. Nothing and NO-one was Off Limits Anymore.

    So. Ever been to Clinic, Michelle? And If So? Which One? And How Many Times? And Was it Out Of Pocket Or Govt-Funded? Ya’know, They needed to Sweet talk em’, Progressive-Style, Instead of giving them The Usual “we’re better than You” and we’re “above the fray” Bullshit. Because Our Great-Grandkids aren’t gonna be better than OR above Their having to Pay Off the Three-Trillion and Counting that the Boy-Genius-Messiah-POTUS w/a TOTUS has added on to our Debt NOW!

    Ps. Btw,YES WE CAN pays for Jack Sh@t when you’ve got a Fat F@ck like Michael Moore telling the 18-25 set to not even Bother trying to “Make It” In America Anymore.

    Did they know when he was born, that it would be necessary to prove he was a USA born citizen?
    I think that ship has sailed, let’s move onto something more important.

    All religions are fake; Now what was the point again

  • KMLake

    I think at issue here is that many posters have spent a great deal of time here arguing their point and the anger carries over to each new topic. (I just started posting so I don’t feel angry at anyone’s political expression. But I do have a right to refute what they say in a cogent manner). I don’t for a second believe Murf would tolerate the abuse of kids regardless of their parent’s political views. I just think some of the posters get tired of presenting, defending, and re-presenting their perspective. The more exhausted people become – the nastier they get and the more outrageous their statements are. I think people espouse many views on blogs that they would not acually condone in real life, in their neighborhoods, and with their neighbors. If this wasn’t true their would be a lot more violence in our culture than their already is. Thank God for the ability to spout off on what we want, but let’s not forget the human being behind each posting.

    Right. Except That One.

    “…the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.” – Saul Alinsky

    KMLake, there are no conspiracies that can be kept a secret. Only fools believe in the Illuminati, the New World Order, the Amero or the government bombed the WTC.
    Oswald killed JFK all by himself. There are no little green men at Area 51. Sirhan Sirhan killed Robert Kennedy all by himself. There was NO Camelot in England or during the JFK administration. JFK was not a good family man, he was a serial adulterer. The republicans can not block anything Obama wanted to pass, only the democrats could.
    Anything else you want to know?

    I think I like you (what a shock this is to me).

  • KMLake

    So why might that be? (That I like what Gordon had the wisdom to say? Ole KML, who supposedly is the famous “leftie” activist, who for some reason votes right, left and even center). Because what you said was/is all true. I like that a lot. The more of that the better… for everyone left and right. See guys (not just you Gordon, but the others perhaps more, even way more). This is reasoned discourse. If you are genuinely smart, care about your perspective on America, and want others to come to at least understand your point of view (even if they refuse to accept it for some reason of their own). What Gordon just did is the way to do it. You don’t have to make stuff up, get abusive, patronizing, insulting or rude. Just state your truth. It’s as simple as that. People want to be a “part” of what is true; they like to feel that they are on the side of what is right. People really will come around if you don’t come across as a bully (I know it’s hard sometimes to hold back). I know you get mad when people disagree with you or seem ignorant. But that’s our “job” … all of us… if we love America. Our “job” as patriots is to help others to rise up out of ignorance and maybe even being smart enough to adjust our own views when another person has a differing view that better supports and defends our fellow Americans. It’s smart man that can know all the answers… but a great man who knows he doesn’t.
