WASHINGTON – Conservative pundit Ann Coulter intensified her attacks on WND last night on Fox News Channel's "Red Eye" show, accusing those at the largest independent news site who dropped her from the "Taking America Back National Conference" in Miami of being "fake Christians."
Coulter claimed she was never actually booked for the event, repeated her resentment over publishing her e-mail explanations to WND Editor Joseph Farah for appearing at GOProud's Homocon event and lashed out at WND for "pushing the birther thing," which she said is not supported by any conservatives.
"These are fake Christians trying to get publicity," said Coulter.
Previously, Coulter called Farah a "publicity whore" and a "swine" for WND's decision to drop her upon learning of her plan to speak to the homosexual Republican group.
In response, Farah issued the following statement: "Coulter called me a 'publicity whore' for my decision. But look who is on television talking about this – throwing mud, name-calling, smearing not only me but my entire staff. I will not engage in the kind of ad hominem attacks that have made Coulter so famous and that are making her even more of a media darling in this age of reckless anger and character assassination for the sake of entertainment. Every day, since we made this decision at WND, I thank God for giving me the clarity of mind and discernment to make the right choice."

I am not aware of the “homocon” website or their agenda...that has nothing to do with trying to censor Ann Coulter’s appearances and in so doing, going public for publicity. It is high time someone exposes Farah for what he is, a charlatan who uses conservatism to line his wallet! Have you ever read the ridiculous ads on his site for untested products and woo-woo claims? Have you ever noticed they often outnumber the editorial copy, most of which is lifted from other sites? I wrote Farah a year ago challenging him on an ad which was so obviously misleading that they actually removed it before they were sued. I suggest you write Mr. Farah and request he cancel Ann Coulter’s column if you have problems with her. He won’t do it because she provides him with the appearance of a conservative news and opinion website. I have written Miss Coulter...suggesting she cancel her column with this useless website.
Oh, and endorsing Mitt Romney.
Er, and dating Bill Maher.
You should be aware of them. They are pushing a liberal agenda and lying about being conservatives.
And no one is censoring Coulter. What people are doing is disagreeing with her choice. That's called "Freedom".
I have written Miss Coulter...suggesting she cancel her column with this useless website.
Farrah is NOT censoring her if he still carries her column. But you want to punish Farrah because he disagrees with her. She judged his Christianity because he disagrees with her. Tell me again who it is that's into censorship?
She really is losing it. I am truly sorry to see her self-destruct this way. It is horrible.
WND has nothing to apologize for.
Ann, if you read this, and have any decency left in you, withdraw from the event. Your 'mercenary' justification is not sound. Your 'Christian' doctrine is put into severe doubt.
If you want to see, Stop putting logs into your eyes, and get the ones you put in, out.
H'mmm. Who are you?
I suppose you rely instead on the Huffington Post and the DailyKos, or Chrissy Matthews?
Way to take things out of context. I hate it when people do that. Do you have a problem with that?
“Can you point out where Jesus associated with ‘unrepentant’ sinners?”
pretty much from the day he started his preaching until they crucified him.
“As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. Now it happened as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. “But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” - Matt 9: 9-13
Good, if Ann calls on them to repent, religiously, morally, or politically, then she will win this conflict. If not, not.
Think that’s likely to happen?
No. And Jesus didn't get paid.
‘Think that’s likely to happen?’
I’ve seen some things less probable happen, but not many.
Where BHO was born is irrelevant?? because nobody is going to do anything about it? There are many incidents where/when somebody took up the torch to clear the stench. The case of Rosa Parks and her adherhents comes to mind. Just maybe we should be thinking of the old wisdom that it is from little acorns that big oak trees rise.
He also didn’t date Bill Maher or endorse Mitt Romney. Imho, if this incident had happened out of the blue, we might be surprised, but I doubt that there would be this much furor. The problem is that since 2008, when she endorsed and promoted Mitt Romney, there has been some concern about her conservative credentials. Choosing to speak at the GOProud, Homocon event, and calling people who criticize her for it “fake Christians” is not going to endear her to many conservatives.
Yes. We shall see, but I’m sceptical.
The homosexual people have confiscated the term and meaning of ‘gay’ which in my sensitivity precludes me by self choice(you might argue my self choice is just that) from saying I’ve had a gay time anytime. The homosxuals in California have now confiscated the term ‘marriage’ which is repugnent to my marriage contract of 50+ years ago. Where and when does this confiscation of language/tems cease as to traditional versus deviant behavior.
‘Where BHO was born is irrelevant?? because nobody is going to do anything about it? “
Its relevant where the President is born and that he is a citizen.
The Constitutional crisis if BO were determined to be a non-citizen would probably destroy our country. Or it would give powers that be the reason to push an amendment so the President didn’t have to be a natural born citizen.
So nothing is going to be done about BO’s citizenship. Its already been to the courts and nobody is listening. You can continue to fight the birther battle and be irrelevant or you can pick a battle that can be won.
Your choice. Rosa parks you aint.
Actually I don't care what she does. It only matters when she is promoted as a voice of conservatism. Backing Rinos and recognizing liberal rights groups is not mainstream conservatism.
I hear you.
You’re right that “birther” is a losing battle but you’re wrong that it doesn’t matter. The truth matters, always. And if it’s the truth, that he was born overseas, then it should come out, even if it’s not widely believed.
