Ann Coulter - "Christian Mumbo-Jumbo"

[forrestkc]

On the drive home from work I was flipping through the stations on my Sirius Radio. I came across John Gibson's Show on the Fox Talk Radio Channel. He was talking Ann Coulter. Well, I don't care for John Gibson, I think he is a wing nut, and of course as most people on here know, I am not a fan of Coulter. At any rate, since she was handicapping the Republican Primaries I went ahead and listened to what she had to say.

She basically started off by espousing her support for Mitt Romney, she then went on to say that she hates John McCain and Mike Huckabee. After ranting about all the reasons why she can't stand McCain and won't vote for him even if he wins the nomination, she then began to rant about why she hates Mike Huckabee. Midway through she had this to say:

"If Mike Huckabee gets the nomination he is going to be very bad for conservatives and very bad for the Republican Party, with him we are going to get all of this Christian Mumbo-Jumbo."

Now, she just said this, so I don't have the transcript yet as its not available to download yet. However, my Sirius Radio has a rewind feature so I backed up the broadcast and replayed it just to make sure I heard her right and she actually said that. Folks, thats what she said, she referred to Christianity as "Mumbo-Jumbo".

Thats the way the world views us because they are blind...Scripture says "it is foolishness to them"... Contemporary "Mumbo-Jumbo"

She's the Conservative version of a shock-jock.

I support a lot of what she says, but I don't agree with her methods.

But, if people didn't want to listen to her she wouldn't be making a living off her books and whatever else she does - just like Howard Stern and Imus.

Her problem is that she has no control over what she says. Whatever she is thinking, no matter how hateful, absurd, or ridiculous it is just comes out (all attributes indicative of a sociopathic personality). You can bet that she will try to do some damage control, but its obvious that she believes evangelical Christianity to be Mumbo-Jumbo. The irony of this is that she accused Liberals of being Godless.

On her side note, her latest book is bombing.

Ann also happens to be a sister in Christ. I have spoken to her personally and asked her.

Is there anyone out there that you DONT quote out of context?

BTW, Anns books, ALL 6, were on the NY Times best sellers list.

"If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans" is doing quite well. I've read it myself.

Coulter says that she holds Christian beliefs, but has avoided disclosing her membership of any particular denomination, though she has mentioned the fact that her father was Catholic while her mother was not [4]. 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 crap 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] she 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

From all my years of listening to Ann Coulter I have pretty much figured out that she is not a true Christian. The woman is hateful, spiteful, insulting, bigoted and sarcastic. The 'mumbo jumbo' remark, if true, would be classic Coulter.
