Coulter Flips at Catholics Helping Migrant Children: ‘You Want to Be a Moral Show-Off’?
Today, Ann Coulter took to Twitter to emote very strongly at Catholic figures who spoke out in favor of amnesty towards migrant children currently stuck at the U.S.-Mexico border and, in the meantime, fell in love with the capslock button.
Some context before we go on a wild adventure: The New York Times wrote a story about religious leaders responding to the refugee children border crisis, and among them was Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York. The Catholic Church officially opposed any effort to expedite the official deportation of these children, and Dolan, the public face of the Church in America, called the attempts, “un-American,” “un-biblical,” and “inhumane.”
Which made Coulter go all Hulk:
If we got them hooked up to a lie detector, we'd find out not one of these moral show-offs believes in God – http://t.co/ET9iCY521P

Oh yeah, Stephen Colbert is a Catholic, don’t cha know:
Why doesn't Cardinal Dolan, ask his buddy Stephen Colbert to put up a couple dozen Central American gang members? http://t.co/ET9iCY521P

I reckon we could fit about 600 Central Americans in Cardinal Dolan's cathedral and rectory – http://t.co/ET9iCY521P

Not ONE of the grandstanding fake "Christians" in these photos believes in God. Look at them! It's SEIU! http://t.co/ET9iCY521P

Father Larry Snyder, CEO of Catholic Charities, also was quoted in the article:
Father Snyder said. “If Jesus said anything, it was that your neighbor is everyone. (But not in THEIR rectories) http://t.co/ET9iCY521P

And since there was a liberal governor in the story she could quote, she took a shot at him, too:
Deval Patrick, tearfully cited the Bible — AS HE SUGGESTED THAT MIGRANT CHILDREN COULD BE TEMPORARILY HOUSED AT MILITARY BASES IN HIS STATE

How about the governor's mansion, you phony, grandstanding, Bible-toting hypocrite? http://t.co/ET9iCY521P
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) July 23, 2014
Notably, Coulter did not take aim at the numerous rabbis, evangelicals, Southern Baptists, Episcopals, Methodists, Quakers, and other Christian churches quoted in the article, even though they all expressed their desire to show Bible-backed compassion towards these children, and backed their statements with actual, tangible actions.
