This past weekend, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) delivered a speech commemorating the 50th anniversary of his Protestant denomination, the United Church of Christ. In the speech, Obama argued that faith in the United States has been “hijacked” by “the so-called leaders of the Christian Right, all too eager to exploit what divides us.”
Last night on Fox’s Hannity and Colmes, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter responded to Obama’s comments by implicating him as a terrorist. Coulter remarked, “Anyone named B. Hussein Obama should not use the words ‘hijack’ and ‘religion’ in the same sentence.” Host Sean Hannity added that Obama’s remarks were part of a “black separatist agenda.”
Watch it:
Fox News is still planning to hold a Democratic presidential debate cosponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus in September. Yet this sort of racist and religious bigotry aired by Fox is nothing new. Earlier this year, the network basely suggested that Obama attended a radical anti-American madrassa “financed by Saudis” as a 6-year-old old in Indonesia.
News Hounds has more.
UPDATE: Yesterday on ABC’s Good Morning America, Coulter said, “If I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.” Crooks and Liars has the video.
Transcript:
OBAMA: Along the way faith stopped being used to bring us together faith started being used to drive us apart. Faith got hijacked.
Faith got hijacked partly because of the so-called leaders of the christian right who’ve been all to eager to exploit what divides us. At every opportunity they’ve told evangelical christians that democrats disrespect their values had hate their church while telling the rest of the country that religions americans care only about issues like abortion and gay marriage, school prayer and intelligent design.
COLMES: That was presidential hopeful Barack Obama accusing conservatives of hijacking religion from the democrats. The freshmen senator that the christian coalition has pushed its agenda on the american people and made anyone who disagreed appear immoral. he also took a shot at the religious right for criticizing his church.
Joining us now is author of Godless Ann Coulter and Fox News political analyst and writer at gather.com Laura Schwartz. Now ann, when you write a book called Godless about which you’re talking about liberals isn’t that divisive?
COULTER: Right unlike a guy running for president making that little speech in a church in order to advance his nomination to be the democrat presidential nominee.
COLMES: Oh, so only republicans can talk in churches
COULTER: No, but I do think someone named B. Hussein Obama should avoid using hijack and religion in the same sentence.
COLMES: So in other words you want to paint him as a terrorist by continuing to highlight his middle name.
COULTER: right, just avoid those two together.
COLMES: I see, so only you can talk like that. Only conservatives. Someone who’s middle name is hussein should not talk like that.
COULTER: Avoid, hijack and religion.
COLMES: I see. When you say for example, Democrats cannot “conceive of hate speech toward christians because in their eyes christians always deserve it”
COULTER: Right, as per Obama’s speech, right now. How divisive we are…
COLMES: But when you said, “assuming you aren’t the fetus the lefts most dangerous religious belief is their adoration of violent criminals.” — you’re not painting…
COULTER: That’s a beautiful line, isn’t it?
COLMES: In other words, only the right has religion the way it should be but not the left. Right?
COULTER: That’s correct.
COLMES: So, I think we made the point Laura that Ann Coulter might be, you know, Exhibit A on how they like to use religion and try to clobber liberals over the head with it. Of course unfairly so, and inaccurately so.
SCHWARTZ: Well not to mention Pat Roberson who said that liberals want to do to the evangelicals what Nazi germany did to the Jews or Jerry Fallwell before he passed saying that “hillary Clinton will will motivate the evangelicals more than Satan himself.” You know, this is not the kind of language we need in politics today and Barack Obama’s begger message of his entire speech from the weekend his central theme was bringing Americans together. So instead of be divisive and try to divide let’s look at what comes together. It’s an interesting trend among evangelicals these days. Because they are focusing on ending poverty, saving mother earth for our children and working toward health care. I think the democrats might have a bigger trend than evangelicals this time.
COLMES: That’s right. Ann do you agree with Barack Obama when he says “As children of God we believe in the worth and dignity of every human being”?
COULTER: Um, yeah, we actually do believe it. Which is why we don’t believe you should be puncturing the skulls of fetuses and sucking the brains out. And by the way, when he talks about how divisive Christians are… Why are we the ones who have to give in so that the world can come together. Why don’t they give in on issues like abortion?
HANNITY: We talk about being divisive, but we have his pastor on this program, remember who has a very black separatist point of view, about the black church, dedicate ourselves to the black community, the black this… Well I confronted him over this, lets look at Obama’s pastor, right here, who he now distances himself from….
(BEING VIDEO CLIP)
HANNITY: IT seems to be that you say the “black community,” “black family,” “black work ethic, black community…”
(CROSSTALK)
HANNITY: Sir, Whether you like it or not I’m going to get my words in.
(END CLIP)
HANNITY: It’s all about the “black community,” it’s a “black separatist” agenda.
Hannity? LOL just LOL
June 26th, 2007 at 2:18 pm“Fox News” has taken the place of “Government Intelligence” in Websters definition of “oxymoron”.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:21 pmWell this is just FOX crap, but Obama needs to come out swinging on it, or Ann Coulter will continue to trash him.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:21 pmHannity and Coulter?
Persona non grata.
‘Nuff said.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:23 pmLOL too funny. I don’t get it, but hey when you fox noise, who cares. This is for entertainment purposes only after all. Oh look Paris Hilton!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:25 pmI’m ashamed of Sen. Barrack Obama’s comments about the GOP highjacking holiness.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:25 pmI do not believe in punching females, but I would make an exception for Ann Coulter. I would knock her block off if she got anywhere near me.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:25 pmObama is a token presidential candidate if I ever saw one. All fluff, no merits.

June 26th, 2007 at 2:28 pmDaryll > chill out and act rationally. You better wise-up, because many GOPers are hypocrites who pay for sex with male hookers.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:28 pmMan, I just absolutly hate that hag…what a piece of crap she is…scum, pure scum…my apologies to scum.
IGNORE THE TROLLS - Debate good, Conservatron dumber than a Sh!t Sandwich
June 26th, 2007 at 2:29 pmoh my god, they finally got the two hookers together.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:29 pmHate-filled, black-souled, Coulter is nothing if she is not an inflammatory boil on humanity. She has also called for the assassination of John Edwards.
Where is the outrage from the media watchdogs?
Too busy raking in their $$ from the cretins and misanthropes who like to watch the bitch.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:29 pmFox is f*ck all scared of Barack Obama. :)
June 26th, 2007 at 2:29 pmBigotry at FOX is nothing new, especially coming from Sean or Ann. If they keep working at it, soon most of their audience will think Obama had something to do with 9/11.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:29 pmDaryll, are you not ashamed of Ann Coulter’s comments? If not, then please renounce your religious beliefs because you are not following them. Oh yeah right, your religious beliefs are based on fantasy.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:30 pmWho listens to that bit** Coulter? She is a nut. I wouldn’t give her the time a day.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:30 pmTo be more accurate. Osama Obama is not a terrorist but an enabler of terrorists.

Comment by Daryll — June 26, 2007 @ 2:25 pm
Ashamed? I can sort of understand angry or disappointed, but ashamed? That sounds like the same sort of throwaway line than Coulter used in that clip.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:31 pmCoulter and Hannity are evil incarnate.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:31 pmIf religion in the US has been hijacked by the “vast right wing conspiracy” - sorry Barack - the Left can take some measure of “spiritual” comfort in knowing they are on the Left Road with the United Church of Christ. There is not a Left wing cause they do not embrace: pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, socialized health care, anti-war, open borders, etc. etc. etc. This should be called the “Church of I AM Special No Matter What I Do.”
Now let’s get the choir practice underway, (tap-tap-tap)
“Me-me-me-me-me-me-me……..”
My all time favourite source in finding Left-wack “religious” updates is the World Council of Churches. Anti-Israel and sympathetic to the plight of terrorists, these pathetically naive types should just save our enemies time and jump up on the cross. Hallelujah!!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:31 pmI would hope Fox and any other conservative source would be decent to Obama so that it would be that much harder for Hillary.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:32 pmSen. Barack Obama is slowly shifting toward the center and yet Hail Hannity and Marqueress de Coulter still bashing Obama as a terrorist. Apparently, you still can’t criticize The Religious Right. Obama: DON’T STOP. GIVE ‘EM HOLY ROLLERS THE HELL THEY DESERVE.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:32 pmTo be still more accurate, Fox News violated the Geneva Convention when they incited the American people to war against Iraq.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:32 pmWell anyone dumb enough to believe in Jesus, Virgin Births, Great floods, would beleive fox news.
Stupid American Christians!
June 26th, 2007 at 2:34 pmHannity and Coulter are vile entertainers, some folks like their venom just as some folks like Babs, Mike Moore, Rosie and the lefts group of gab. I am sure Coulter is saying what her mouth breathing crowd wants to hear. Hannity is the personification of KEEP AMERICA WASP, so we know where he is coming from. Obama isn’t a WASP so they do not like him pure and simple.
Furthermore, if you look at black conservatives who agree with these GOPhers, you will find that they are WASP too, just in blackface. I am a black man and I am just calling it like I see it. RUN /TROLLS ATTACK
BTW-Do not upset their Leave it to Beaver (Ann Coulter as June Cleaver) status quo. They gets angry and defensive.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:35 pmFox WANT Clinton to run. It will make a repug victory in 08′ almost assured. If Obama gets the nod, the repugs will almost certainly lose in a landslide. Thus Fox is a Hillary cheerleader.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:35 pmThen Abraham Lincoln and George Washington would believe Fox News.

June 26th, 2007 at 2:36 pmhope mAnn’s crabs hopped on over to Hannity for a party
June 26th, 2007 at 2:37 pmColmes deserves his ass kicked for representing the left on this propaganda show.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:37 pmCoulter will always paint Obama as a terrorist based on his name, because she can’t find any other “scandal” about him to exploit, and arguing meaningful issues just isn’t her thing. At least Colmes called her on it — which is more than I can say for Chris Matthews gushing about her “beautiful writing” and “brilliant mind”.
Poor, poor Ann. As the American public gets more and more jaded, she continually has to find ways to be more outrageous to maintain the flow of attention her way that she so desperately needs.
Coulter isn’t the only one who clutches at straws to attack Obama. Hannity’s best evidence against Obama is some comments from his former pastor??????? Sean — wanting to support the black community doesn’t make someone a racist or a separatist. Even if you could find a clip of this pastor actually advocating separatism, racism, or any kind of hate-white speech, that doesn’t automatically mean Obama embraces those same beliefs.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:37 pmI think VV is about to lose it.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:37 pmCan somebody please rip Ann Coulter’s dress off to find out if she is actually a male in drag, or had a sex change operation?

Oh, pullleeeez! Everyone knows that Rove used christians to gain Bush his elections. And you better damn well believe that christianity was hijacked and I saw it my own church and witnessed it in many others. I will never tolerate the likes of anyone who professes God to send up an agenda in a society based in love that puts intolerance as a prerequsite to love.

June 26th, 2007 at 2:41 pmPeople tend to forget that the majority of Christians in this country are not right-wing evangelicals. The majority still belong to mainline, nonfascist denominations. The media (and the Christofacists’ loud, whiny mouths) has created the opposite perception. “Christian” does not automatically equal “dominionist”.

What the hell is wrong with you?
June 26th, 2007 at 2:42 pmChristopher Hitchens is right, religion poisons everything. I can’t wait for the day an openly atheist person wins the Presidency. Sure I’d prefer the religious left to the religious right being in power, but when will we move beyond discussing political issues in terms of god and faith? How ridiculous is it that, in the 21st century, at CNN’s ‘faith forum’ Democratic presidential candidates were asked how they tell the difference when praying between god’s voice and their voice!! And do you “believe” in evolution as if scientific facts about the natural world are to be picked cafeteria style according to one’s tastes. The state of our political discourse is appalling and the sooner ‘faith’ is taken out of the mix and becomes a personal issue again, the better.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:42 pmNumerous meetings were held at the WH with leaders from congregations. The sole purpose was to find whether their congregation could be persuaded to support WH agendas (some having nothing to do with faith, but with war). Rove laughed at this bunch as they left.

I know where some of them are: in my Roman Catholic parish.
The Christian Left believes in actively doing the work of Christ, rather than spouting off about how holy they are and how horrible other people are.

June 26th, 2007 at 2:53 pmCoulter, Hannity, and the rest of the rabid right buzz will do everything they can to exploit Obama’s middle name of Hussein to make as much connection as possible to Iraq’s dictator. Yet Hussein isn’t that uncommon a name, and Saddam certainly didn’t have a monopoly on it. It was also the name of a very respected king in Jordan (and ally of the U.S.).
And equating Obama with Osama bin Laden would only work on the most stupid slice of Americans. (oh wait — this would be the same slice of Americans who believe that Saddam Hussein orchestrated the events of 9/11).

I do happen to think that people who believe in God are deluding themselves. That doesn’t make them bad people, I just happen to think that they are wrong. I see no evidence for the existence of a god or gods. Hey maybe I’m wrong, but I like some evidence before I believe in things. I happen to think that doubt and reason are better tools for improving the state of humanity than faith in things unseen.

June 26th, 2007 at 2:58 pmSorry to take so long to reply. Thread is slow. Of course I don’t like my religion to be used for political gain. My belief is between me and my lord. Only he knows my heart. My goal is to just try to expemlify the love that is mentioned more times in the bible than any other word. I can’t stop christians who use it for other means. Nor can an atheist leftwing or rightwing (not being sarcastic).
Blessings.
#37 Perhaps I should have explained “blackface” in spirit, not in the literal sense. Obviously Hannity and Coulter do not speak for all WASP. Sorry if I impuned those not on the Riech Wing agenda gulag. Its just hate the “agree with us or you are WRONG” attitude that is so repulsive but pervasive in politics today. Most talk radio and TV is conservative so that side has the greatest visibility in those mediums.
The same problem exist in many churches, follow a conservative interpetation of scripture or YOU are WRONG. I am so glad I do not depend of PASTORS or PUNDITS for my salvation. Can you imagine Jesus being interviewed by Hannity and Coulter? An entire show would be devoted to him supporting prostitution because he doesn’t want them stoned. They would question the veracity of his 40 days in the wilderness. Thats what they do.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:59 pmI see Vailent venus is here, you can almost smell the KY.
I think Obama is mistaken, it is the radical Christian right which has hijacked the republican party. Even the middle of the road, republicans are having a hard time recognizing who they voted for. The best trick Rove played was making Bush appear to be a mainstream conservative, instead of the far right, idiot he is.

To be completely accurate: Pres. Bush has fostered an environment in Iraq that allows and encourages people to join terrorist oranizations, therefore, Pres. Bush is the biggest enabler of terrorists.
June 26th, 2007 at 2:59 pmI’ll be very concerned if Obama WASN’T smeared by Fox News. They smear him because they know he is a legitimate threat.

And that way we can ensure that anyone who is even an eensy weensy bit religious never gets into political office, and then there would truly be no danger of their views affecting their judgment……Y’know simp, the only way to ensure TRUE separation of church and state is to separate the ‘religious’ from the ’state’. /end sarcasm.

2007-06-25 11:56.
Dana Simpson, a Republican, had to open her mouth and blow the whistle. So now the Rovian mafioso-like intimidation begins:
The response to Simpson’s affidavit has been a series of brusque dismissive statements – all of them unsworn – from others who figured in the discussion and the federal prosecutor in the Siegelman case, who has now made a series of demonstrably false statements concerning the matter. She’s been smeared as “crazy†and as a “disgruntled contract bidder.†And something nastier: after her intention to speak became known, Simpson’s house was burned to the ground, and her car was driven off the road and totaled. Clearly, there are some very powerful people in Alabama who feel threatened. Her case starts to sound like a chapter out of John Grisham’s book The Pelican Brief.
Um, national media? National media where are you? This sounds like something you might want to look into — perhaps? Maybe?
Wouldn’t it be nice if the folks in the national media did their jobs these days? Well someone other than Seymour Hersh of course.

As it is, the fact that ‘people of faith’ are the only acceptable Presidential candidates for either party is absurd. Why should believing in things for which there is no evidence be a necessary quality in an individual running for office? Why is your belief in jesus or mohammed or whatever you happen to believe any more valid than belief in zeus or thor? It’s not but that doesn’t seem to keep people believing that their particular belief is the right one.
June 26th, 2007 at 3:04 pmlike some evidence before I believe in things. I happen to think that doubt and reason are better tools for improving the state of humanity than faith in things unseen.

A kid in a chicago(I think) HS about 2 years ago got suspended for doing that. He was the only kid in school who was an immigrant from Africa (South Africa in this case, and he was white), and every year they handed out an achievement award to the African-American student who got the most votes from the student body, so he started a campaign to vote for him.
They forced him to apologize in front of the entire student body and faculty, and he had a couple day suspension.

As well you should, as a Christian fundementalist, be Daryll. After all, you aided and abetted the hijacking of your religion, so when someone points it out to you you should feel deeply ashamed.
Particularly after reading what the book of Mathew had to say about people who broadcast their religion at the tops of their voices.
Oh, wait, that assumes you have actually read the book doesn’t it?

Were it not for you religion changing whenever it is convenient to your argument, I would probably be surprised at just how incoherent your vapid and vile hatred is.

Which is why, Daryll, those very people have chosen to describe themselves as African American, a term which you also reject.
But this is what makes me seriously doubt you’re Black, African American or anything but a big phony:
Most are true Africans that are not mixed with American blood. There is a difference in physical features between a true African and a dark American.
What the hell is “American blood”? And you need to start paying more attention. Very dark African Americans are just as American as you; take a few classes on genetics sometime. And “true Africans” show an enormous range of physical features, along tribal and regional lines.

June 26th, 2007 at 3:14 pmso, like, where’s a link to the whole Obama speech. I’m tried of reading Murdoch and Coulter’s take on Obama.
And if I read one more time about Obama’s corrupt backers and it turns out to be a rehashing of the stale Rezko story, I’ll hurl.
This is how Murdoch created the impression that the Clintons were corrupt; he’d run headline after headline about little scandals and never post the retractions when they stories went nowhere.
I mean, what’s with peddling Obama’s middle name as if he were a terrorist. Apparently King Hussein of Jordan was a great friend of the USA, but that’s not who Ann wants you to think of.
BTW, Hussein is the Islamic equivalent of John or James or Paul or Peter. It’s hardly a shocking name.

Nope. They aren’t so tied up in their own egos as to think that other people need always share their opinions, and they don’t seek validation by forcing others to pretend to share their opinions.
Indeed, they very rarely discuss religion seen as they actually know what they believe and live it, rather then knowing what they had better pretend to believe and preaching it.

June 26th, 2007 at 3:36 pmRoger_Roger
Neither of the top two are that strong as candidates, and both of them are likely to destroy each other before the elections.
Clinton is despised by the left almost as much as she is loathed by the right, a few pretty speeches and purposely-rigged-to-be-meaningless no votes isn’t going to change her historic support for the Iraq war even as the Democrat base protested against it. All the money in the world isn’t going to change the fact that she is in essence, unelectable.
Obama, really did come out of nowhere. While I think he is a strong candidate, while I think he may be a good president, he is Hillary’s main rival and she will go out of her way to make him look unelectable. He may recover for another run later though.
Which means while it is still probably going to be Hillary or Obama, Edwards is not out of this race yet.

Lets see, one is a blog, the other is supposedly a news programme.
One allows rebuttals, counter arguments and such. The other is known for firing reporters for telling the truth about hormones in America’s milk.
Nope, no difference here.
