Huckabee Confronts Ann Coulter Over Her Claim He’s A ‘Liberal Christian’

by Glynnis MacNicol | 10:25 am, October 10th, 2010

Last night on his show Mike Huckabee called on (a seemingly unprepared) Ann Coulter to explain last month’s claim that “all liberals are atheists. Only the ones who have to stand for election even bother pretending to believe in God…There’s only one true Christian liberal in the country and that’s Mike Huckabee.” Indeed.

Coulter, who protested “this was not our topic, Governor!” defended the quote by saying it was not an insult to Huckabee, but an insult to all of Obama’s so-called Christian advisers (“they are such fake, phony frauds”) whom Coulter thinks do not spend enough time protesting abortion in the President’s presence.

“So I started thinking, what if you were a genuine Christian but you had some crazy liberal views on things that are not directly Christian, what would that look like? And I thought of you Governor.”

I guess the Gov finds the truth a bit unconfortable.

Being a Christian does not make a person automatically conservative. It is correlated, but not strongly.
