Ann Coulter’s Idea For CNN’s 9pm: Democratic Religion Polygraph Test

Two popular TV pundits on opposite ends of the spectrum, who usually appear on Fox News, battled it out on Larry King Live about some very serious issues – and did it without yelling and with friendly banter throughout.

A discussion over whether Pres. Barack Obama believes in God led to Ann Coulter‘s programming choice to replace Larry King.

It started with a talk about Christine O’Donnell. “We were never going to take it anyway and she’s a lot of fun,” said Coulter, diminishing her importance to the Senate races this year. “She’s part of the loon wing of the Republican party,” said Hill.

As only King can do, his very broad question, “What is it with this country? What is going on?” led to a somewhat tangential discussion about religion.

“I’m sorry they already picked your replacement because that was my idea for a TV show,” said Coulter. She wants liberals “under a polygraph and I will ask them if they believe in God and if they love their country.” Any idea for a working title? Leave it in the comments.

Hill had a competing show idea – for Republicans. “Ask them if they’re opposing policy because they really believe in it ideologically, or if they just want to block Obama,” he said.

Then it was to Pres. Obama directly, with Coulter wondering why he would “pretend to” believe in God (just like Bill Clinton, she said)? “Barack Obama believes in God!” answered Hill. If this discussion over whether Pres. Obama is an atheist or not seems ridiculous, you really just have to watch the segment. It’s the most grounded debate about a ridiculous issue you’ll ever see. And Coulter and Hill really seem to get along throughout. Maybe it takes a setting like LKL to bring this lively, but decidedly friendly, discussion.

Here’s the segment:

Hill was great on O’Reilly last night. I disagree with him but I commend him on his appearances.

That’s one thing that CNN has had going for it. It’s the only network where I can see drastically different opinions and actually hear them as well.

Hell that should be there slogan, someone get James in the sound booth “CNN, We do it without shouting”.

“It’s the only network where I can see drastically different opinions and actually hear them as well.”

Marc Lammont Hill was on O’Reilly last night and they have drastically different opinions and there was no yelling. Shouting, though oft times annoying, goes part and parcel with different opinions. Sometimes things get heated, that’s the way it goes. If people all believe the same thing, yelling would be pointless.

Ed Schultz: “Obama is great!”
Olberman: “No he isn’t, he’s wonderful!!”
DNC: “You’re both wrong, he’s miraculous!!!”

You get the point. Cheers.

There is not a polygraph in existence that could withstand the deception of libs.

Coulter’s a conservative (beware, viewers, bias!) but Hill is simply a professor. No ideological bias at all. Nope. None. Thought the media stopped doing this.

Funny, but the two of them have been very good on Red Eye for a long time now. There’s almost as many liberals on Red Eye as there are on MSNBC, only the ones on Red Eye have a sense of humor. Fox actually hosts people who are liberal and conservative.
