“Liberals think sending a check to the IRS constitutes charity,” as opposed to Republicans – especially Christians – who are “actually giving to poor people.” The generalizing was bad enough that O’Reilly at one point tried to bring her in line by saying, “You’re generalizing now.”

Generalizing does not equal being wrong. Coulter is not wrong.

I use to watch the NFL, but I don’t think I’ve seen a game in a decade. I’m pretty much high school football, high school and college basketball (girls/women), college and MLB baseball and college football. Even the college football is beginning to get tedious at times. If you watch on television, all the damn commercials will drive you nuts, and if you’re at the game, your always waiting for commercials to end to resume play. NFL and NBA are just clearly lost to me these days.

Change your name to Mr. Irrelevant.

Whenever the Big one is cornered and called out for his phoniness he hides behind a skirt, lol. Sometimes behind the big Dick (Morris). He doesn’t mind messing about with Christ, but says Colbert is disrespecting B.Franklin. What a phony of a man, and to top it up, he hides behind his Catholic upbringing.

If he was to be a good catholic/Christian, he should have brought a priest to his show to solve the issue. Instead the big phony brought on someone who is crazier than himself. He knows they would have called him out on his stupidity, and shame on him as he made his Staff search through the Bible to find him quote that suit his purpose. I’d like to see what is before and after those parables he mentioned. Asshole of a human being. Quoting religious books when it suits him, then quoting B. Franklin trying to make it sound like its from the Holy book.
This is disgraceful. This just shows to you how phony the rights, who uses religion when it suits them, they don’t really believe it or do so when it furthers their arguments.
It reminds me of the T/P shouting at a sick man during the healthcare debate, while they were protesting. Totally un-Christlike. Shame on you all.

“Madrasa” and “Medrese” redirect here. For the village in Azerbaijan, see Mədrəsə. Madrasah (, madrasa pl. , madāris) is the Arabic word (of Semitic origin; viz Hebrew Midrash) for any type of educational institution, whether secular or religious (of any religion). It is variously transliterated as madrasah, madarasaa, medresa, madrassa, madraza, madarsa, medrese etc.

I am admittedly biased in Colbert’s favor, but I’d say the nature of comedy and Colbert’s ability to think fast , combined with being smart would give him the edge.

Accepting a quote from a wretched source is unacceptable. He said it and it can be found on this link(provided you are a member). They want amnesty, they want “economic justice”, they opposed “global climate change” (earth to the Methodists, man isn’t doing it), fighting global poverty (here is another hint, most poverty is caused by a lack of freedom and lack of a free enterprise system). Not shockingly, the Methodists side with the Islamists against Israel, and of course oppose America in Iraq. Judson Phillips

Here’s Colbert’s clip

http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/368914/december-16-2010/jesus-is-a-liberal-democrat

Bill is correct that the Bible does promote personal responsibility
2 Thes 3:
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

But right after that it says

13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.
There’s

We can disagree on details but in general , I’d say Colbert is right in that we , as a nation, still fall far short of following Christ’s teachings when it comes to the poor.

I’d say the best joke was made on the strangest line in ORielly’s article.

Every fair-minded person should support government safety nets for people who need assistance through no fault of their own. But guys like McDermott don’t make distinctions like that. For them, the baby Jesus wants us to “provide,” no matter what the circumstance. But being a Christian, I know that while Jesus promoted charity at the highest level, he was not self-destructive.

Um yeah, as far as earthly life he kinda was, for a purpose.

Prince William and I were having tea and biscuits on the veranda the other day, and having a rousing discussion about ‘Brisket’ Palin. I was referencing the Bible, citing verses which substantiated my personal hatred of this girl, and the prince laughed heartily and asked if I was winding him up. He was gobsmacked when I assured him I thought my assessment was spot on.

Interpretation of the Bible varies and there are opinions and no sure right answer by any person or group. Looking at the admonishments of Jesus in the Gospel’s I’d say Colbert is closer than ORielly and both have a valid point.
Jesus does instruct one rich man to sell all he has and give it to the poor, and stresses actions over lip service repeatedly. While personal responsibility is certainly there is no place it says “only give to the poor when you’re sure they deserve it”

Conservatives give more to private charities and don’t like taxes supporting government programs under some premise that the government is consistently wasteful, and it encourages laziness. I think there’s some truth in that argument. Liberals seem to maintain that having the safety net
How do conservatives vett the private charities they give to? Do we not have charities that are inefficient or even corrupt? Can we be positive that conservative giving is far more effective than Liberal’s plan? I haven’t seen any evidence of that.
There’s nothing unchristian or Un-Christ like about Liberal’s believing that requiring more from those who have more through taxes, to help those who have less. In fact it’s supported in the Bible
Luke 12:47 And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

So, while conservatives and liberals may disagree on the best method neither has a superior Christian outlook. Coulter’s assertion that liberals aren’t really Christian is just her attention getting exaggeration for profit.

Hey Mediaite, where’s the link to the Colbert clip so we can better evaluate BillO’s response?

http://tinyurl.com/28mrwvy

“Coulter then came out and agreed with this point while making blanket statements like, “Liberals think sending a check to the IRS constitutes charity,” as opposed to Republicans – especially Christians – who are “actually giving to poor people.” The generalizing was bad enough that O’Reilly at one point tried to bring her in line by saying, “You’re generalizing now.”

Well it might be generalizing if many liberals including Obama himself didn’t try to equate paying confiscatory taxes with duty and charity and characterize those who prefer to decide for themselves how their money should be spent as “greedy”. And considering the charitable giving studies that are done semi regularly show that the same people year after year (middle and lower class conservative Christians) are the ones giving most consistently and proportionately higher than other groups, well then the generalizing comment might have had some traction.

So despite this offending Glenn’s liberal sensitivities, Coulter makes a reasonable if not clever point.

Pablo said:

Yes, there are ways to take steps and insure your resources are being used wisely, for charities, and for social programs.

So let me get this straight.
A liberal says something conservatives don’t like, so Fox News gets their number one host and one of their top conservative guests to tear him down.

For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more. So, while conservatives and liberals may disagree on the best method neither has a superior Christian outlook. Coulter’s assertion that liberals aren’t really Christian is just her attention getting exaggeration for profit.

Really?

I’m not sure why you think that article is relevant to my post. I never said that scripture was to be taken literally and preface it with

Interpretation of the Bible varies and there are opinions and no sure right answer by any person or group

the bible also says ” If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.” but I don’t take that literally in every case either. I think it does speak to personal responsibility.

The bible also says “For you have the poor with you always, and whenever you wish you may do them good;”
but I don’t take that as an approval of giving just what you feel like giving and don’t worry about it.

The thrust of my post is that next to the last sentence. Neither conservatives or liberals have a superior Christian attitude. Referring to lawfully instituted social programs as coercion or worse is nonsense.

Ann Coulter’s generalization is so disappointing. Colbert and his fans have raised money for several charities, and considering the fact that his fans tend to be younger, they probably don’t actually have that much money to give. In one instance, the fans (not Colbert) initiated a fundraiser hoping that Colbert would notice large scale donations in his name, and ended up raising over half a million dollars for DonorsChoose.org at such a fast pace that at one point, the servers had to stop accepting donations. It is currently the largest donation that charity has ever received. (By the way, he did notice, giving them an out-of-character interview to answer the top 11 requested questions from Reddit.)

Also, I also have 12 years of Catholic school education under my belt, but it was much more recently than O’Reilly (~3 years ago). I remember the parable of the talents was more about evangelizing and not keeping your God-given gifts to yourself than wealth and self-responsibility, which makes sense in context of what else Jesus said. He tended to make parables allegorical so the poor would get the message, but the pharisees wouldn’t (to keep himself out of trouble for a little longer!)
