Ann Coulter's tweets on the Pope & Catholics

[left-of-center2012]

Ann Coulter tweets:

> I'm an American and this is why our founders (not "immigrants"!) distrusted Catholics & wouldn't make them citizens.
> Catholics were not accepted until they became more AMERICAN (style) Catholic,
less ROMAN Catholic.
> Equally accurate statement to the Pope's: The Catholic Church was "largely built by pedophiles."

1. Will it go back to cross burnings and pitch forks again?

Who knows. Crazy ass country with crazy ass speakers. Another Aliens and Sedition Act?

2. She calls it as she sees it

Of course, the way she sees it is very, very strange.

3. She's like a real live version of Bill Cosby's satirical bigot

*I know Cosby is a rapist, but this piece still makes a good point. I remember it from when I was a kid.

7. We seem to be stuck in a déjà vu experience here in the 21st century.

4. Ann Coulter: Doesn't like Catholics and not a great fan of Jews either.

I think she is the new face of the KKK.

6. If they wore masks of her face...

... instead of white hoods, they'd be really terrifying.

5. She is her father's daughter

Brainwashed from the cradle. If you mold someone from the time before they are three they almost never develop a chance to think for themselves. Pathetic if not tragic. Sad creature.

10. Not sure who her father is, could you educate me?

Should I have known? I wonder.

11. He was a staunch conservative

She wrote a column about him at his death. The hero worship was evident. I don't think he was an Activist but probably very opinionated. I could gather how deeply she was influenced by his hatred and greed. She was warped.

8. I wonder what she's like in real life

Is she just some normal, nice person? Is this offensive person just her professional schtick? Does she have "people" who slap her in the face until she gets into character, so she can be mean as a defensive linesman?

Maybe she donates to animal shelters or something.

No ! A normal, nice person wouldn't be such an a-hole.

12. And once again, she thanks DU members here for the free publicity.
