Ann Coulter Flips Out at Catholic Leaders Helping Migrants: ‘Moral Show-Offs' Don't Believe in God

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by William769 (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Mediaite.com

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, then 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: Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter
"If we got them hooked up to a lie detector, we'd find out not one of these moral show-offs believes in God." Most 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.

I don't know if I'm sickened or awed by it. She's the NASCAR of journalism.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

mean sooooo many things....... I know what you mean and you got it right. How do we treat children like that? Putting up citizen check points, yet. One of the rights we fought the Revolution for is freedom of movement with no documents required to travel. What the hell and to children, yet.

that hysteria seems to be building in the right wing world? They all seem to be positively crazed as world tensions mount. Bless their hearts.

We're a progressive denomination, and we've born our share of attacks for a whole host of things, like feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, supporting equal pay and rights for women, supporting a woman's right to choose, etc. .

She HATES us, but we still love her, and I think that makes her crazy (-ier?).

enough to be quoted consistently and by being so, is ego massaged constantly. It's not her fault she's an idiot, it's the fault of people who have given her a forum that made her feel important as a 'voice' of america. Every time i see her on Mahers' show, I cringe. geez.
