Attacks on Religious People

On Oct 17, Ann Coulter debated some guy at Amherst College- I forget who it was, but they played it on CSPAN before and just reaired it tonight. I saw the very end of it tonight and most of the first half when it first aired.

Anyhow, on the last question, a girl asked how John Kerry claims to be a catholic and holds the beliefs very dear to him, yet he supports abortion, and how on earth could he claim that he seperates these things into personal and public life (even tho, I should add, he claimed in the one debate that he never puts religion into his policy decisions, yet said that his faith is why he votes the way he does in regards to the economy and the environment, which means he totally contradicted himself and showed his true colors.) The guy debating Ann (a liberal who supports Kerry), started saying that there are people out there that use reason and sense when they make decisions...saying that religion has no part in this. He basically insulted any religious person by saying what they believed is hocus pocus nonsense that is the opposite of using "reason" in your decision making process. It was an outrageous comment that was a blatant attack on ALL religious people as backward fools who base their lives on imaginary rules of religion. Clearly, I don't believe that's the case- only an idiot attacks a Christian by saying, your views are based on phony hocus pocus and you deny reason and logic.

His reply got a lot of applause (again, proving that most college campuses are havens for radical liberals), and sadly Ann had a great opportunity to point out the fact that he just made a radical attack on all religious people, especially Christians, yet she didn't take it, instead talking about how Kerry claims to be religious but isn't- and how he tried to "outgod" Bush with his reply to Bush's comments about how his faith is important to him and what decisions he makes. I was sorry to see that Ann didn't take the chance to pound him on his offensive attacks that the audience seemed to have such fondness for- I hoped that they just didn't notice his attack, but I doubt it.

I love it tho- liberals are the compassionate tolerate ones (but only when it comes to gay rights, abortion, and those who constantly attack Christianity.) The level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me.
