Fox Nation promotes Coulter's claim that Obama is an atheist
September 01, 2010 11:26 pm ET by Solange Uwimana
Fox Nation, which has not been shy about obscuring President Obama's faith, tonight displayed the following headline on its website: "Obama is not Muslim, but..."
The headline linked to a column by Ann Coulter titled, "Obama is not a Muslim." This is the same Coulter who repeatedly promoted the lie -- three years after it had been debunked by numerous news organizations (Fox included) -- that Obama attended a madrassa as a child in Indonesia, and who has relentlessly smeared Islam and Muslims.
In her column, Coulter argues that the "nonsense" about Obama being a Muslim "has got to stop" because Obama "is obviously an atheist." She goes on to write that while Obama has professed to be a Christian, the "only evidence" is that he attended Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years -- which "is even stronger evidence of nonbelief than Bill Clinton returning from Sunday services to receive oral sex from Monica Lewinsky." She concludes by writing that "[a]ll liberals are atheists," adding, "There's only one true Christian liberal in the country and that's Mike Huckabee."
From Coulter's September 1 column:
The nonsense about President Obama being a Muslim has got to stop. I rise to defend him from this absurd accusation by pointing out that he is obviously an atheist.
Leave aside Obama's fanatical opposition to allowing Illinois hospitals to save the lives of babies with God-given souls inadvertently born alive during abortions. Also leave aside the fact that neither of his parents were Christians. And leave aside his current crop of "spiritual advisers," which is a collection of Mother Earth worshippers, polytheists and other nonbelievers.
Now rest from all that "leaving aside."
The only evidence for Obama's Christianity is that he faithfully attended the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ for 20 years.
Yes, the guy bellowing "God damn America!" is the one vouching for Obama's Christianity. That's like saying you got sober with the help of your A.A. sponsor Lindsay Lohan.
It is a fact that any non-retarded person (thank you, Rahm Emanuel!) sitting in the Rev. Wright's church for 20 minutes, much less 20 years, does not believe in God. Even stepping inside Wright's church for a moment to get out of the rain is borderline racist.
Going to Trinity United Church of Christ is even stronger evidence of nonbelief than Bill Clinton returning from Sunday services to receive oral sex from Monica Lewinsky. This isn't mere sin -- everybody sins (though some with more frequency and less remorse than others).Attending Wright's church is the conscious, calculated decision to immerse yourself in hate-filled demagoguery and call it "Christianity."
Previously:
I'll even go this far to agree: Governor Huckabee is as much a follower of Jesus as he is a liberal.
In any event, who cares if Obama is an atheist? The founders obviously didn't care what religion a President would practice. These effin people need to move to Iran if they want religious leaders telling them what to do.
Awwwww, what's the matter, Annie-Christ ? A little upset about Glenn Beck stealing your Krazy Krown ?
Stating your misguided opinions as "fact" ? Promoting the Black people are the real racists angle ? Nostradumbass has been doing those for months, you better step it up a notch.
Sad to see such a former darling of the hysterical right reduced to playing catch-up with the new kid on the block. Beck is doing revival meetings and crying on cue, for Pete's sake, Annie. You look downright reasonable these days, and that's no way to get airtime on Fox.
There's always a rural am radio station or a run-down airport strip joint that has a place for you. Good luck, Ms. Coulter.
Her suggestion that she CAN tell us that Obama's been dishonest by claiming that he's a Christian is thoroughly bogus.
As I posted on a previous thread....
What's obvious about his Christianity?
Well, that he gets daily devotionals on his Blackberry, for one.
That he belonged to a Christian church.
That he's never been a member of an Islamic mosque.
That his children were baptized in a Christian church.
That he has asserted multiple times that he's a Christian.
Seriously, imagine how desperate this pitiful woman must feel to resort to parodying her own never-funny-to-begin-with material just as her youth has faded and she knows she can never fully reclaim the spotlight? It reminds me of the adage: what she's thinking's so loud I can't hear what she's saying.
"He's an atheist. He's a Muslim. He's a communist. He's a Liberationist."
Wyy not, "He's a breath mint. He's a floor wax." credit to SNL
Occam's razor suggests he's just a Christian, like he says. Logical thinking is much too easy, and it seems to have lower FauxNoise ratings.
Take it from me, I know hate-filled demagoguery!
Barack Obama is a(n):
1. Muslism

What self respecting atheist is going to waste every Sunday, dressing up, driving to church, sitting there for what seems like an eternity, listening to a preacher drone on and on about what you believe to be utter nonsense?
And what kind of idiot would believe that an atheist would do that?
Oh, I forgot. We're Americans. We believe what we're told.
They will tie Obama to everyone and everything that gets negative press.
If a Buddhist goes out and commits crime they will accuse Obama of being a secret Buddhist
Actually, if you're going to accuse somebody in the States of anything at all, screaming that they're an atheist is probably one of the worst things you can call them. According to more than a couple polls, atheists are positively despised in America in terms of 'trust'. They rank further down the list than Muslims, homosexuals, and illegal immigrants. Bizarre. Assuming, of course, that the polls are conducted properly it's bizarre anyhow.
And perhaps a century from now being an atheist will be seen as a positive in the political arena.
