These are the most hateful people i have ever run into in my life. Even when they are trying their best to be polite, they cannot escape the fact that what they believe about conservatives ( they call them reactionaries and they call obama a conservative????) and christian fundamentalists is hateful by nature. Other's don't even try to be polite (Theodoric, Onifre), but they both despise the above categories of people with a vengeance. I think Coulter is only showing these kind of people for exactly who they are. It isn't any wonder then when colleges like Fordham University ban Coulter from speaking at their campuses.
Personally, I think it's never that good an idea to counter hatefulness with more hatefulness. It doesn't help the situation at all, and in fact makes it worse. So, (and speaking to everyone here) try not to get emotional about these types of things. If your position is reasonable, as you likely believe it to be, then reason, and not emotion, should carry the day. (Also, in these online discussions, keep in mind that there are human beings on the receiving end of whatever you say)
Having said that, I find it interesting how fiercely anti-Catholic foreveryoung and Faith are. (In my experience, the most radical fundamentalists tend to be anti-Catholic, and I wonder why)

Name calling is neither Christian nor buddhist or muslim or whatever. It is a human behavior shared by all. It has nothing to do with what Christianity is all about.
So Matthew 7:12 has nothing to do with what Christianity is all about?
