Fresh off her anti-semitic rant last week about "Fucking jews," Coulter continues to go full Nazi:
Ann Coulter just couldnt help herself.
As Pope Francis paid a visit to the White House this morning, opening his remarks to 11,000 ticketed guests by noting that immigrants helped build the United States of America, the conservative flamethrower greeted His Holiness with a series of ugly nativists tweets, claiming Pope Francis teachings on economics are why the nations founding fathers excluded Catholics from citizenship, seemingly excusing anti-Catholic bigotry.
Coulters tweet was in response to one by fellow conservative commentator and Rush Limbaughs brother, David, chiding Pope Francis for speaking out against economic inequality:@AnnCoulter
I'm an American and this is why our founders (not "immigrants"!) distrusted Catholics & wouldn't make them citizens. https://twitter.com/DavidLimbaugh/status/646681931774451712
@AnnCoulter
Catholics were not accepted until they became more AMERICAN Catholic less ROMAN Catholic-Harvard's Samuel Huntington https://twitter.com/DavidLimbaugh/status/646681931774451712
@AnnCoulter Ann Coulter retweeted Wall Street Journal
Equally accurate statement to the Pope's: The Catholic Church was "largely built by pedophiles."

As you can imagine, conservative Republican Bill Donohue, of the one-man Catholic "League," who always has a press release to fire off when Sinead O'Connor releases an album or Kevin Smith makes a film, had plenty to say when his fellow conservative engaged in actual anti-Catholic bigotry.
Here's his response:

(14,570 posts)2. Ann Coulter is part of the pale, swollen neoliberal propaganda organ.
Her job is to ejaculate the hatred, mistrust and racism that the MSM cannot. There is definitely an audience for her - it was born in the evil imaginings of the Koch brothers, funded by them, nurtured by them, and shaped into a formidable political movement by them. It is called the Tea Party.
