YouTubin' it!

Oh my gawsh. Who let that woman near a video camera? If she didn't have an American accent, I'd think what she was saying was a joke. Also, I like the argument at the end.

Although she says "I don't think the more religious a Christian you are, the more intolerant you are, that's preposterous" the entire interview seems to support that very claim. In her own words in other places, she believes the term "shvaggot" [combination of the German word  for black, shvartze, and english slang faggot, meaning gay. However, it allgedly means  "wimp, wuss" according to Ann Coulter here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnVMMpcP2gA] should be allowed, amongst other dregotaroy terms for various groups of American society.

 

In this particular interview, she states she believes everyone in America should be Christian; throw away Buddhism, et. al. The person interviewing her is actually Jewish, to whom she states should be perfected by converting to Christianity. Whilst I realise this is Christian belief, the fact that it is part of that belief doesn't make it any less intolerant or extreme, much like the islamic concept of Jihad isn't any less violent just because it's a religious belief. Indeed, most religious beliefs are inherently violent, it just so happens when society disagrees, that belief is kept under wraps, such as the Christian concept of Holy War, which is hardly touted about now as it was during the middle ages.

Ann Coulter strikes again: Apparantly, the widows of husbands who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are just "cashing in" and should "take their money and shut up." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSG7BqK-JIY
