Obama Smeared As Terrorist Again On Fox News

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.”

15. Those are great, but you missed the best one
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
9-12-01

Psycho nazi bitch.

(And yes, I use a sexually-based term because she uses her gender as a shield and a weapon; she's far beyond being a mere harpy.)

17. One of the production crew must have bet him twenty bucks
that he couldn't say it on camera while keeping a straight face.

Either that or peyote.

Those are the only possible explanations.

3. "Black separatist agenda"??? So RWers have decided that Obama IS in fact
black enough for them to play the race card? (Not long ago they were bleating that Obama "wasn't black enough.")

5. Poster child for media divestment and re-regulation
One wonders just how much abuse the Dems will take....

Clinton sure took much more than his share- and like a battered woman, kept on pandering and empowering his abuser. Will the rest of the party keep following suit?

Or will they finally start being assertive?

Time will tell.

7. How does these morans have the intelligence to draw breath?
They must have been trying to be funny, and as most right wing wackos generally do, failed.

The black separatist agenda remark it so absurd, you have to wonder - they just say things that have nothing to do with the matter at hand. No matter what Obama said, Insanity would have said that - it was something Insanity wanted to through out there and see if it sticks.

8. Obama hit a cord by exposing the hypocrisy of many on the Religious Right
But Hannity has always tried to frame Obama's church as Black Separatist...just because it preaches Liberation Theology. Many on the Right wrongly consider that "seperatist."

11. It's really shameful
It's very unbecoming of her to say this shit. By her standards, Eisenhower shouldn't have been put in charge of defeating the Nazis.

12. We need these Repigs to keep showing their cards like this...
I know plenty of Republicans that are absolutely sick and goddamn tired of these asswipes that portend to be faces of the GOP.

Let people like Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh and others bury their asses in their own stupidity. The more they do it, the more moderate Republicans will come to our side. There is a change in the air.

Ann and Sean...peas in a rotten pod.

13. Refresh my memory . . .
But weren't these the same idiots who said Obama attended an Islamic fundamentalist school while in Indonesia, and CNN visited the place and very quickly found out otherwise? I don't know how they stay on the air. I really don't.
