Right Wing Christian Fanatics Gone Wild: Intolerant Republicans

I didn't know this but last week was self-proclaimed "Islamo-facism awareness week," a right wing intolerance fest dreamed up by extremists Ann Coulter and David Horowitz. I only know that these fools were strutting around advocating intolerance because of an email I got from the organization Jews on First.

There is something so disgusting about the right wing fear of just about everything that isn't white, male, Protestant Christian. Ann Coulter is the perfect example of this. When we hear her condemning so-called Islamo-fascism, let's remember that she is the idiot who said right after 9/11 that:

"We should invade their [Muslim's] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

And what did she choose to advocate during her "Islamo-facism awareness week?" Anti-Semitism. Yes, she attacks Jews as part of her paranoia against Islam. Last week she told Donny Deutsch:

"we should throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians."

Ann Coulter also claimed that Christians want Jews "to be perfected" by converting to Christianity.

When she was challenged about how bat-shit crazy and offensive this was, she "explained:"

"No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be. I don't think you should take it that way, but that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews. We believe the Old Testament. As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to live up to all the laws. What Christians believe -- this is just a statement of what the New Testament is -- is that that's why Christ came and died for our sins. Christians believe the Old Testament. You don't believe our testament." Coulter later said: "We consider ourselves perfected Christians. For me to say that for you to become a Christian is to become a perfected Christian is not offensive at all."

Oh...gee...that is so much better.

Well, let me say this to you Ann Coulter: Fuck You. You can take your right wing extremism and your fundamentalist Christianity and shove it up your ass. America's Founding Fathers formed America as a secular, tolerant nation open to all religions and even no religion. If you want religious intolerance move to Iran and take your un-American message there. If you want no government mixed with religious intolerance, move to Somalia. That is pretty much a nation that delivers what you advocate. We don't need your anti-American message here in the US.

It is time these right wing fanatics get shoved into the obscurity they deserve. Muslim, Jewish and mainstream Christian groups are uniting to condemn Horowitz and Coulter's messages of intolerance. You can join in by signing the National Jewish Democatic Council's petition to urge CNN, FOX News, NBC, ABC, and CBS to stop inviting Ann Coulter as a guest to comment on politics.

Would these news organizations interview Osama bin Laden with the same enthusiasm as their love of Ann Coulter's religious intolerance?

Also write the Anti-Defamation League to make sure they are aware of the anti-Semitism that American news media is emrbacing so enthusiastically. And for more information, go to Jews on First.
