Ann Coultergeist: Gays Love Me! I'm Their Judy Garland! I'm Delusional!



Urban Dictionary:Definition: Coultergeist
A word used to describe the haunting feeling one gets when watching Fox News.Example A: "Man, there was nothing else on last night, so I decided to watch some Fox News. After a few minutes of Sean Hannity it felt like there was a Coultergeist in my house."


WARNING: SOME FANS MAY WANT TO DE-FAN ME FOR THIS ONE. THIS IS MY SNARKIEST SHOT AT ANN COULTER. LIKE SLAPPING A MOSQUITO, I JUST HAD TO DO IT. 

























It's time to put Ann Coultergeist to rest, or in an asylum. There is a difference between egotism and ODN (Outright Delusional Narcissism). ODN is a terrible disease of the brain - borne of years of self-adulation - which turns the slightest attention or publicity into an all-encompassing feeling of idolatry by everyone. 


Ann Coultergeist has terminal ODN. We should pray for her, but her ODN is too far advanced. Even God cannot work such a miracle, so save the prayers.


We all knew the end was coming: she insisted that her audience was growing even while her book sales had started to tank. But now we have seen the beginning of the end: this single (very single) strand of spaghetti insists that she has a huge gay following.
One comment:
Forget the fact that GoProud has adopted her as their mascot.  GoProud is a farce: a farce hiring another farce to degrade them for publicity.How many gays love GoProud?
Not many. From Queerty:
Considering that GOProud regularly supports anti-gay candidates, doesn’t support gay marriage—even though GOProud Chairman Christopher R. Barron is married (the hypocrite)—and has been mocked by Coulter in the past—they totally deserve each other. Barron says that Coulter’s appearance at their 2010 Homocon event “helped put [GOProud] on the map.”
Yes, just like the nuclear meltdown helped put Chernobyl on the map.

The ODN that now drives Ms. Coultergeist can be viewed in the video below. But it's too intense. So let's go point by point, quote by quote, shall we?
Log Cabin Republicans is not a truly conservative group. Why? Because conservative groups want gays back in the closet? GoProud has done everything it can to do just that: by trying to negate everything the gay rights movement has ever accomplished, it has all but told Republicans that they can vote just as well from the closet as from the room.

Have you ever been to a LGBT group before?
Yes, I call them Ann Coulter book signings. This is possibly the height of hypocritical hyperbole. And the most delusional of her statements. If one gay person were at her signings, it would be to size her up for portrayal at Halloween.  Even if GoProud were to attend all of her signings, it would be a small event and Coulter would fire her publicist. 

Speaking at Homocon:” I’m in the market for a new hair stylist” Coulter dilusionally thinks that  gays love to be insulted. However, like African-Americans, gays can insult their own, but no one else can (or should). 

Right Wing Judy Garland  A weird correlation, don't you think? Garland was considered an icon for several things, none of which fit Coultergeist: Garland had talent that was exploited and abused. The only abuse occuring with Coultergeist is her abuse of other people. Coulter has no real talent. She can marginally be called a professional - a professional bitch.
I didn’t expect that all right wing girls would all be good looking. Coultergeist has not taken a look the a mirror for a very long time. Nor has she taken a look at her very unflattering (but fairly accurate), caricatures. Joe Jervis (Joe.My.God) calls her "Skeletor." She looks so much like a palomino that friends warn her not to go to England: Princess Anne would try to ride her.* Yes, I admit this is a vicious retort, but we're talking about the pundit who cannot talk about Joe Biden without inserting a comment about his hair plugs.


Didn’t expect that SO many gays would be HUGE fans of mine. Like many of her statements, Coulter fails to come up with substantive support. She thinks that all of her pronouncements are automatically taken as fact. Again, most delusional.


If you’re born gay, why would you be a liberal? If you were born straight, why would you be conservative? 


One of the highest incomes demographically. This is a myth that has been dispelled, but not enough. The idea that gay males make MORE than straight males is certainly untrue. Coultergeist's GoProud friends might make more money than most (and most gays) but Coulter is still dillusional if she thinks that all/most gays are like the GoProud crowd. These are gays whose primary purpose in life is to protect their own money and get some publicity while they're doing it so that they can make more money.
They are victims of crimes.  But the kind of crimes perpetrated by most conservatives: discrimination, bashing, and hate speech.

Muslims don’t think too highly of them. They don' think too highly of you either, Ms. Coultergeist,  but that doesn't mean that you should consider "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." 

Entire Republican platform is fighting the same causes as any sane gay person. So gays are against universal healthcare coverage? They're against government subsidizing of non-profits (like the San Francisco AIDS Emergency Fund - through the Ryan White Act)? 


All gays who are born gay are overwhelmingly conservative. Huh? Parts of today's conservative movement are not genetic or systemic: like the South Pacific song goes, "You have to be taught ton hate."

Angry gays causing trouble weren’t born gay. They were just angry at their fathers. When pundits play psychologist, it's time to click off the video. 

Gay marriage: I talked them out of it when I was at that meeting. So much so that GoProud Chairman Christopher R. Barron is considering an annulment? I don't think so.


I tell them “we like you”  Severe ODN always negates the disingenuous.


* Another reason the Brits dislike her so much: "[Diana is] an ordinary and pathetic and confessional — I've never had bulimia! I've never had an affair! I've never had a divorce! So I don't think she's better than I am." Actually, Coulter's never had much of anything.

Was It A Christian Jihad In Norway? You Decide. Breivik's Video Looks Like Bryan Fischer Made It!



"One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests."           -posted by Anders Behring Breivik on Twitter


" Dam I would celebrate if this Viking sonuva bitch opened up that machine gun on a bunch of Muslims."

         - From Facebook wall of Anders Behring Breivik




Anders Behring Breivik and Timothy McVeigh: the parallels came dropping down like gumball-sized hailstones. The government building in Oslo was repeatedly compared to the Federal building in Oklahoma City. Both Breivik and McVeigh were clean-cut looking young men. Both men had an animosity towards the established government.


McVeigh's background, however, did not point to a particularly religious person, while Brievik's video (below) shows an obsession with the term of "Christian Soldier" and the Crusades. 


The video is exceptionally revealing and may be the only solid link to Breivik's motive - no matter what he says in his upcoming court date. It is unyielding in its hatred for Islam and Muslims. It features multiculturalism as the worst thing to happen to mankind because it will give way to a rising population of Islamists, thereby allowing them to eventually rule the world. It is arrogant in its righteousness. It paints himself as the only hope left. 


When you see it, you cannot help to think that it was written by an American who has voiced the same opinion every time: if Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association didn't write the script for the video, who did?




 






HIS SENTIMENTS EXACTLY

Bryan Fischer has once again proven that righteous arrogance breeds stupidity. His tweet makes him look just as bad as Anders Berhing Breivik is in its hatred for everything Muslim. It also insinuates his tolerance for violence. And putting the word Christian in quotes denotes a flaccid attempt at distancing himself from his obvious doppelganger. Millions of America's whitewashed public will be screaming "not me!" but no one will hear them from the din Fischer creates.   

Fischer will harp on the fact that, while almost everyone in Norway is baptized at birth, only 2% of country are regular church goers. Norway is the most secular country in Europe. We'll hear phrases not too unlike "getting what it deserves." Oh, others will chime in: Pat Robertson, Lou Engle, Franklin Graham, Cindy Jacobs, Rod Parsley to name a few. But no one will use Norway's tragedy like Fischer - a virtuoso of anti-Islamic hatred and intolerance; a hatred so embedded in America's psyche that media first-responders automatically assumed Muslims were involved in both the bombing and the massacre. And most of them sloughed off the possibility of an "apology" to the Muslim world and to Islam.

Another Case of Righteous Assassination?



At first another parallel seems weak, but given time, it grows: Byron Williams, who, almost EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO (July 21, 2010) was discovered in an attempt to terrorize the Tides Foundation and the ACLU. At that time, broadcaster Glenn Beck was linked to the attempted massacre. Now, however, the Oslo/Utoya tragedy can be linked to aggressive evangelism that does nothing to control the religious intolerance it creates. 




It has just been discovered that Anders Behring Breivik also wrote a kind of treatise/manifesto under the anglicized name of Andrew Berwick. You can download the entire 1500+ pages HERE. It is titled 2083 - a Declaration of European Independence. And while it  is mostly a rambling jumble of other writers, it strives to be an intelligent spin on Breivik's phobia against "multiculturalism" and perhaps one of the most revealing statements about Breivik's religion comes in this part (Kyle Spotswood):
Christianity is a way of life, and life involves power relationships, Christianity is at once a political way of life. One can not separate out ones politics from ones faith and beliefs, they are intertwined as ones beliefs effects ones politics. Thus, within the Christian worldview, there is no separation of ‘Christianity’ and ‘politics’, as distinct spheres, ‘politics’ is but another sphere of the way of life that is Christianity. Politics is subsumed within Christianity.

Bryan Fischer and "historian" David Barton would definitely agree with that statement.


So were Anders Behring Breivik's actions part of a Christian Jihad? Not an organized one, but possibly one that carried out a blueprint set out  by the likes of our own Bryan Fischer and leaders of our own Christian Right.

Rupert's Religious Ark: Will The Pope, Rick Warren And Pat Robertson Jump Ship?

Hell, Can They Even Swim?


















As the Murdoch Empire takes a pounding in the UK's Parliament, the media and the court of public opinion, another interesting tidbit makes for drooling speculation: Murdoch's long arm of publishing includes a bizarre dichotomy  - pornography and Christian books.


But wait, it may not be so dichotomous! It might, in fact, be just a matter of quid pro quo: Murdoch's religious affiliations have been just as quiet about the latest hacking scandal as they've been about his porn industry. Perhaps they don't want to draw too much attention to the financial dealings and donations with the media mogul.


Catholic? Southern Baptist? Born Again?


Murdoch's personal religious leaning are murky to say the least: he has never formally pronounced his allegiance for any one Christian denomination or sect. While wed to his second wife, a Roman Catholic, he received an award:


 Catholic Herald 
In 1998 Rupert Murdoch was made a Knight Commander of St Gregory. He had apparently been recommended for the honour by Cardinal Roger Mahony, after giving money to a Church education fund. A year later he donated $10 million to help build Los Angeles Catholic cathedral.
Rupert's son, James, also created a firestorm when it was discovered that before meeting the pontiff in London during his visit, Murdoch had donated 100,000 pounds ($156,000) to the promotion of the visit. It became known as the "pope-for-hire" situation.  


Murdoch's hailing of Benedict's election was a bit brazen (and off he mark), but helped to dispel the rumors that Cardinal Ratzinger was still harboring Hitler-like tendencies. (see The Sun's Headline). 


The 700 Club Connection


Billionaire televangelist Pat Robertson has certainly profited from Murdoch's business ventures:
From donations provided by viewers, Robertson bought the Family Channel, sold part of its stock at a personal profit of $90 million, and then sold the rest to right-wing media mogul and FOX owner Rupert Murdoch for $1.82 billion.

Even die-hard Robertson fans considered the purchase to be an outrageous sellout: Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily wrote: "...Robertson was ready, willing and able to climb into bed with Rupert Murdoch ..."



Murdoch also owns two of the largest online religious sites, Beliefnet and Inspirio, but perhaps the biggest strangle hold he has is on religious publishing.


The Rick Warren Connection

"Do the religious authors making their fortunes off Murdoch wear gloves when they cash their royalty checks? Do they ever dare look in the mirror?"
                    - Frank Schaeffer, son of influential theologian Francis Schaeffer 


Murdoch's pornography empire is not too far down the publishing road from the likes of Zondervan and Harper Collins - two of the largest religious book publishers in America, if not the world. Under Zondervan, in fact, another empire flourished: The Purpose Driven Life, for after the sale of 20 million copies worldwide, it remains one of history's biggest bestsellers (appropriately, after The Bible). And with Zondervan's sales, the fortunes of Pastor Rick Warren have soared as well.* In addition, Murdoch has openly donated $2 million to Warren's P.E.A.C.E. plan, enabling a greater evangelical voice in foreign nations (primarily in Africa). 


Pastor Rick has repeatedly stated that he is Murdoch's pastor although Murdoch does not live in Orange County where the 120-acre Saddleback Church compound is located. He has also deflected charges of hypocrisy in dealing with Murdoch, reportedly the "king" of pornography:
‘I don’t have to agree with 100 percent of what another person does in order to work with them on the 20 percent that we do agree on.’


THE HEAT IS ON


Pornography aside, the hacking scandal has Catholics, evangelicals and other religious leaders calling on the religious community to sever all ties with Murdoch and to reassess their relations with his publishing venues and, yes, even FOX News Channel.**


But will the likes of Rick Warren and Pope Benedict follow suit? Will Zondervan and Harper Collins authors defect to other publishers? 


The problem here is that today's religious leaders, like Murdoch, go where the money goes and follow Rick Warren's chief motto: 


"Whatever It Takes."



*Enabling Warren to give back 25 years of his past salary to his beloved Saddleback Church. Warren says that he now "reverse tithes" giving 90% of his income to the church. This has been disputed, however, since concrete tax returns and financial statements have not been made open to the public. 

** Over one year ago, the Jewish community called upon Murdoch to sanction Glenn Beck for his references to the Holocaust, signing an open letter to Murdoch in Murdoch's own Wall Street Journal. It was posted on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Remembering Mike Ward - a personal and public tribute

Dear friends:


You should have known him. If you had, your lives would have been much richer. This video was put together by a wonderful movie man, Tyler St. Mark. It shows you what I was blessed with for so many years.
