You have one key concern. ... But clearly, if you're African-American, you care about civil rights. You care about certain programs of the federal government. That's a generalization, but probably true." http://mediamatters.org/items/200804160011 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:13:52 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200803070001 In an appearance on MSNBC, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter again referred to Sen. Barack Obama as "B. Hussein Obama." When asked by host Amy Robach, "Why don't you like to say "Barack Obama"? Coulter replied, "Because I think it's funny. I mean, it wouldn't be -- this hysteria from the Democrats about how you can't call him by his middle name. ... Of course there's a reason we call him that." http://mediamatters.org/items/200803070001 Fri, 7 Mar 2008 11:52:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802150002 On <em>Hannity &amp; Colmes</em>, Alan Colmes asked Ann Coulter, "Why do you keep emphasizing his [Sen. Barack Obama's] middle name as if you're trying to associate him with Saddam Hussein?" Coulter replied, "Because I think it's funny." During the interview, Coulter referred to Obama as "B. Hussein Obama" twice and injected: "Get ready for President Hussein, and let's start planning for the next president." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802150002 Fri, 15 Feb 2008 13:20:35 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140016 MSNBC hosted right-wing pundit Ann Coulter to discuss the 2008 presidential race less than 24 hours after she repeatedly referred to Sen. Barack Obama as "B. Hussein Obama" and "President Hussein." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802140016 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:48:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200802120011 On <em>Imus in the Morning</em>, Richard "Bo" Dietl said he was "pissed off" because the FBI is expending too many resources prosecuting mob criminals while ignoring the northern border of the United States: "Now, what bothers me is our borders up near Canada are opened up. It looks like the pilgrimage in to Mecca, the amount of 'Aba Dabba Doos' that are coming in from Canada in to the United States. ... We should take some of our great FBI agents and station them up there so they can make some oberservationtations [sic] about these guys, Al Swawahiwi [sic] and all his brothers and cousins coming through there." http://mediamatters.org/items/200802120011 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 20:31:08 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200712200007 On<em> Hannity &amp; Colmes, </em>Sean Hannity said to his guest, Ann Coulter: "You know, [Sen.] Barack Obama's [D-IL] pastor... has this whole list of the Black Value System. It seems like he's supporting a segregated church." Hannity provided no evidence to support his suggestion that the church of which Obama is a member, the Trinity Church of Christ, is "segregated"; indeed, University of Chicago Divinity School professor emeritus Martin Marty wrote of Trinity: "My wife and I on occasion attend, and, like all other non-blacks, are enthusiastically welcomed." http://mediamatters.org/items/200712200007 Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:17:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200711300002 In discussing recent riots in Paris suburbs with guest Steve Emerson, Glenn Beck likened the rioting there to the purported situation in the American Southwest, where "[y]ou've got people coming here that have no intention of being Americans. They say, you know, 'Hey, this is our land. We deserve it back.'" Beck's question invoked the "reconquista" concept initially spread by a "vitriolic Mexican-basher" and perpetuated by some conservatives, including Michelle Malkin and Pat Buchanan. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200711300002 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 20:12:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710310011 Responding to Alan Colmes' questioning about her comment that Christians "just want Jews to be perfected," Ann Coulter said that she "wear[s]" criticism from Jewish groups over the remark "as a badge of honor," adding, "The point is: This is the same old fight we see all the time with the irreligious trying to stir up trouble with the religious." Responding to Colmes' assertion that Coulter "doesn't want to own up to" her statement, Coulter said: "I gave a beautiful description of the Old Testament and the New Testament, but it's very frightening to secularists." <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200710310011 Wed, 31 Oct 2007 18:09:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050003 http://mediamatters.org/items/200710050003 Fri, 5 Oct 2007 13:51:50 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709210012 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709210012 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 17:36:06 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708150002 On his radio show, Neal Boortz claimed that because "Muslims don't eat during the day during Ramadan" and "fast during the day and eat at night," they are "sort of like cockroaches." Immediately following the remark, Boortz said, "I did that for Media Myrmidons" -- his term for<em> Media Matters for </em>America. http://mediamatters.org/items/200708150002 Wed, 15 Aug 2007 11:50:29 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200708080001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200708080001 Wed, 8 Aug 2007 11:29:07 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200707170006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707170006 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 17:08:49 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120009 http://mediamatters.org/items/200706120009 Tue, 12 Jun 2007 18:33:56 EST
