Is Ann Coulter right? Are all liberals Atheists?
"The nonsense about President Obama being a Muslim has got to stop," Coulter wrote on the conservative website TownHall.com. "I rise to defend him from this absurd accusation by pointing out that he is obviously an atheist."
"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."
What is wrong with Ann Coulter?
Who is the political benefactor in perpetuating the Obama / Religion discourse?
Does Ann have some propaganda or sales angle here?

At any rate, she seems 100% wrong. President Obama is not an atheist by any definition or any evidence.
Neither are most liberals. In the USA, most liberals are mainstream Protestant Christians. Others are Jewish or Catholic. Quite a few are agnostic and some atheist. But saying they all are atheist is ridiculous.
Also, she must be joking if she says Huckabee is a liberal, he is a dyed in the wool extreme conservative.

A comedienne or a pundit? I think this quote sums her up nicely.
"Ann Coulter is a lawyer and author, famous for despising anyone politically left of Ronald Reagan." http://www.nndb.com/people/474/000022408/
In fairness that source lists her occupation as "pundit".. funny.

I believe there is a character limit on Mahalo answers, so I will not tackle this one tonight.
Who is the political benefactor in perpetuating the Obama / Religion discourse?
I honestly don't think any of dear Ann's banter is personally aimed at benefiting the opposing political party.
But it does have that effect.
Does Ann have some propaganda or sales angle here?
Propaganda... yes, but only in the pursuit of sales, and the other term you forgot... ego.
Dear Ann, Rush, Glenny baby and many other "media moguls" on both sides of the "aisle" need to keep up this endless stream of ridiculousness in order to stay relevant, and to sell their next book.

Surely Obama is a cactus?

Start with:
ANYONE who uses the words 'all', 'never', 'always', or any similar absolute, is suspect, since absolutes apply to very few things outside of basic physics. And not to all of them either.
These words are a warning, that the statement needs to be carefully checked.
Consider a much simpler question: Do all people have 2 arms? You might think so, until you thought about it and realized that there are amputees and birth defects, so that some people are armless and some have more than or less than 2 arms.
There are so many problems with Ann and others who make such nice sound bites: reality is messy, it seldom has nice neat answers, no matter how much you want one.
For example: If Ann defines 'liberal' as equal to 'atheist,' then her statement is true FOR HER, but not for the vast majority who define 'liberal' to a wider group.
The majority of liberals seem to have some sort of religion, just as the majority of humans do--and there are conservative atheists too!
I might just as inaccurately say that all conservatives are Christian.
Since most fundamentalists of any religion are conservative, there are millions of Muslim, Jewish, Hindi etc. conservatives.

M$There was a time when there were moderate, cordial, intelligent Republicans. Sadly, that is no longer so, evidently.

Jesus not only was Liberal but a Socialist ( by todays standards ) as well . Comments like these from the right make me wonder just what kind of Christians they really are . What part of " family values " is this kind of nonsence ? Ann Coulter would do well to remember that without Liberals women wouldn't be able to vote or make comments that would make the news .Thanks for saying it so well cosmopinkice .
