Ann is the fake
Ann is an entertainer. Farah is a nut.
He claims to be a journalist but twists ‘news’ into advertisements on a daily basis.
Yep, you’re right.
Farah says:
GOProud is about infiltration of the conservative movement and dividing it from within with twisted and dangerous ideas way out of the mainstream of American public opinion. Ann Coulter is, I'm afraid, validating this effort for money. I support her speaking to people with whom she disagrees on college campuses. That's a good idea. I do it, too. But if you see the way GOProud is exploiting its coup in getting Ann Coulter to speak to its Homocon event, you begin to understand what a mistake this is for a conservative icon like Coulter."
I think Farah is right on this point.
However, I agree with Coulter that Farah using private emails is way, way out of bounds. Not only is it out of bounds, but having that private contact with her would have been one way that he could have addressed issues of the heart and actually been able to influence her.
I also think Coulter is wrong that the birther questions have been "proven" in the sense of being put to rest. They haven't been proven.
We still have never seen Obama's birth certificate, and there's no good reason not to have seen it. Notices in a Hawaiian newspaper are not copies of the birth certificate.
No, Ann isn’t judging who they are!! She isn’t painting herself into a corner of hate. I am so proud of
Ann and the stand she has taken. It’s people like Farah who give GOP and Christians a bad name.
We’re all on the same side. Let’s defeat the Liberal Left, and worry about crumbs, later. Okay?
I don’t think either one is a fake Christian. Coulter may be doing the Jesus-dined-with-sinners-so-I-can-too thingy, but that doesn’t make her fake. Self-deluding, yes. Fake, no. Nor does Farah’s legitimate desire to avoiding compromising conservative messaging on social issues detract in any way from his Christianity. Quite to the contrary, it secures his credibility with those who see a close relationship between the so-called social issues and the root meaning of conservatism.
As for Obama’s constitutional eligibility, Coulter appears to have done only shallow research, and so should not be faulted, I suppose, for caving to the tide of popular media consensus. That, in itself, does not discredit her Christianity. Only her research skills.
However, what would do lasting damage is for there to be no attempt by either party, especially in light of the present crisis, to seek a genuine reconciliation of some sort. They don’t have to surrender their ideological commitments, but they should let go of hotly-worded accusations about each other’s spiritual commitments to that divine person they both claim to know and reverence.
