.................I believe that's what Jesus meant when He told us to love our enemies. The ultimate demonstration of love for a Christian should be to evangelize the lost.
There is no indication Ann Coulter has ever used one of her paid speaking engagements to do this. In fact, I'm not even sure a paid speaking engagement is an appropriate forum for evangelizing.
Nevertheless, I have heard from a few Christians who compare Coulter's paid speaking gig to Homocon with Jesus sitting down with tax collectors and sinners.
That is not good discernment.
Coulter is a political activist, a pundit, a satirist. She is not Jesus. And she is not an evangelist. No one is likely to get saved at Homocon because Ann Coulter gives a conservative stump speech.
What will happen as a result of her appearance is that a compromise will be made with sin. Sin will be condoned or appeased. A conservative icon will find accommodation with a sin that would undermine the foundations of Western civilization, the Judeo-Christian ethic and the most basic biblical standards of sexual morality.

Not the same. Farah isn’t called the “Judy Garland of the Right” with cutesy pictures of him. He didn’t receive any money. He is not a keynote speaker. It is unclear what he said to the homosexual activist who wants to destroy family and marriage in the US. (I have read on the thread since last night so maybe that part has been made clear.)
We do not know what Coulter is going to say until she says it.
Farah did not insult or slam Coulter the way she has him, publicly and nastily.
We will see. You’re gloating about Michelangelo Signorile’s intever with Farah is pretty disugsting. That man is an abominable destructive enemy of all that is good.
Got it. :o)
It's apparent that you don't. This is a "sleight of hand" argument. Nobody has faulted Coulter for going on lib shows and giving her opinion. Farrah simply gave his opinion also. A radio interview is not a political group.
The problem is headlining a radical homosexual convention. Get back to me when Farrah headlines at a homosexual convention.
This site is going downhill. There was a time you could come here and talk about conservative issues, get new outlooks, find background and get some laughs about the sometimes grim future. It was a great place to fine-tune your point of view, and have a good time while you did it. The liberals were the bad guys, not other conservatives. We felt outnumbered in society and so enjoyed some company among like minded people. This was a respite. But, no more. Now the trash that populates this site seem to think they are in some super-secret club, and everybody else is a spy trying to get their secret handshake. Losers.
If FR is so awful, why are you here? “I hate you but I’ll stay” is silly.
But you won't extend the same courtesy to ANN.
It's not likely that Ms. Coulter will be "enlightening" the sodomites at HomoCon to the evils of homosexuality. Based on their expectations, they'd be in good standing to ask Coulter for a "refund" if she does:
Here's what GOProud, the homosexual organization sponsoring HomoCon has to say about Coulter:
"Gay Conservatives to Party With Ann Coulter at 'Homocon 2010'
The gay conservative group GOProud — whose platform is essentially "cut taxes, while being gay" — is hosting a party called "Homocon 2010" with Ann Coulter, "The Right Wing Judy Garland." Fun! But isn't Ann Coulter mean to gay people?
Slate's Dave Weigel asked GOProud executive director Jimmy LaSalvia about an incident in Ann Coulter's past involving a certain gay epithet, and whether GOProud cares:
Coulter's never been as concerned with social issues as the median conservative pundit. She does, however, like to use gay stereotypes when she mocks liberals — she was slapped on the wrist for calling John Edwards a "faggot" at the 2007 Conservative Political Action Conference. No big deal, says LaSalvia.
"We are not concerned about what the PC crowd has to say," he says. "This is about having fun. I don't agree with everything she has said in her lifetime, just like she doesn't agree with everything I've ever said....but we can still party together, right?"
He raises an interesting point, about humans being able to have fun together, despite having battled on political things in the past. We'll have to consider this provocative new idea.

Maybe a sudden infusion of energy from the Viking Kitties will help your weak dendrites to form a permanent connection between RINO - and facilitators of the Log Cabin Homosexual agenda, such as yourself.
Calumny. You are a liar. The only thing more irritating than a moron is a dishonest one. I asked you a question you barbaric little twit, and you refused to answer with anything but invective and contumely. I wouldn't scrape you off the bottom of my shoe for fear of being contaminated with something. Go crawl in a hole and f$@! yourself.
...[Joseph Farah] Coulter because of her apparent embracement of homosexuals...I think that this is at the heart of the problem:
Ann truly LIKES many gay people, and THEY really like her.Many social conservatives seem to fear that Ann's close association with them on such a PERSONAL level will eventually effect her on a POLITICAL level.
And, they **could** be right -- if it wasn't ANN we were talking about.But, her very good friend BARBARA OLSON [who died on 9/11 in the hijacked plane that hit the Pentagon]'s widower, TED OLSON, may be an example of what they fear might happen to Ann.
Ted Olson, who recently led the legal battle to get California's pro-"one man, one woman"-marriage Proposition 8 overturned in the courts, seems to have been influenced to support gay marriage by his new (much younger) lefty wife.

Well said DJ!
Listen, if another poster gets your goat that badly, quit responding. I do. Eventually they get the hint and leave you alone.
Thank you.
We do not know what Coulter is going to say until she says it.Maybe YOU don't know -- but you still ASSUME the worst, right?
If FR is so awful, why are you here? “I hate you but I’ll stay” is silly.
But, "you" are not FreeRepublic. I hate lying jerks. People who call me a queer because they just don't read the posts piss me off. Since I don't like what you say I suppose I could just start insisting that you are promoting the homosexual agenda. Wouldn't that be a brilliant deduction? How about instead of suggesting I leave you take the time to oppose lies and calumny? I don't see you carrying out that Christian work here?
Listen, if another poster gets your goat that badly, quit responding. I do. Eventually they get the hint and leave you alone.
Yes, you are right in that, but I guess I get sick of being called things by people who won't either read the posts, or just act like conservatives and Christians. It really does piss me off, and I get angry. I shouldn't have to drop off of threads because ignorant people think it is amusing to just randomly call people queers. That is seemingly becoming a regular practice on this site these days. Am I the only person who notices it?
Now that you’re angry, you’re going to bite everyone? If FR aggravates you, it’s “take a break time”. I’ve done it. We all need to now and then.
It's not likely that Ms. Coulter will be "enlightening" the sodomites at HomoCon to the evils of homosexuality...Perhaps.
I'm not yet convinced that she won't say SOMETHING to tweak their "lifestyle."
But, I will GUARANTEE that she will challenge them on gay marriage.Here's a (somewhat garbled) first-hand account of what Ann said a few months ago -- at a "question and answer" session after her speech at UCLA:
...Ann Coulter likes gay people. She has lots of gay friends!Having heard Ann speak in this kind of forum in the past, I'm sure that HER timing and delivery were MUCH BETTER than this left-leaning graduate student's paraphrasing would indicate....So many gays support her that if you went to West Hollywood and said you didn't like her, all the hair stylists would refuse to cut your hair.
But she doesn't want them to marry. They don't want to marry, they told her themselves. They just support gay marriage because it's a nice symbol of public acceptance.
Isn't that the whole point of being gay anyway, that you don't have to marry?
She's not anti-gay, she's just pro-family.
She also opposes single mothers. Did you know that such and such criminal was raised by a single mother?
Who knows what weird stuff will happen to children raised by gay couples?
...but I think that her position on gay marriage comes through CRYSTAL CLEAR.
I don’t leave a thread. I just ignore posts from people that I don’t want to converse with. If it’s posted to me, I check who posted it and if they are trouble, I don’t read it. It takes practice. We are taught from childhood to respond when addressed. But as adults, we really CAN ignore aggravation.
How do you know they are not Dems? 75% of the Log Cabin Republicans voted for 0thugga.
Today and also last night, when I try to check a person’s posting history, all I get is the first page of their comments; the next page takes me to articles they’ve posted. So there is apparently no way to find a person’s posting history other than one page right now.
Something’s broke!
