Conservatives erupt after Trump, McCain, and Coulter go birther on Ted Cruz

The battle for the soul of Republican conservatism elevated in recent days as Ted Cruz came under attack from members of his own party over the issue of his Canadian birth, saying it disqualifies him to serve as President. As a result, a number of conservative leaders and commentators have sparked a backlash towards the "conservative" attackers, citing their instigation of political strife for their personal and political gain.

The problems started when Donald Trump openly questioned whether Cruz was a "natural born citizen," because of his Canadian birth. While both Constitutional and legal scholars are nearly unanimous in their opinion that Cruz is a natural born citizen because his mother was a U.S. citizen, a small but vocal minority insists otherwise.

Conservatives furious over Ann Coulter's anti-Semitic, anti-Israel tweets

With a handful of tweets Wednesday night, Ann Coulter may have single-handedly kicked herself out of the conservative movement. The author and commentator raised the ire of many, and is being accused of anti-Semitism, after criticizing several Republican candidates during the Presidential debate for their support of Israel.

Coulter took to Twitter Wednesday night (September 16) as the top 11 candidates for the Republican Presidential nomination participated in the CNN Presidential Debate at the Ronald Reagan Library.

Live-tweeting as the debate unfolded, Coulter managed to unload criticism on every candidate throughout the night, except for Donald Trump, whom she has supported in recent weeks.

Coulter initially seemed annoyed when several candidates mentioned their support of Israel should they become President, tweeting this:

Coulter then made her feelings on Israel (and Jews) clear with her next tweet:

 

Coulter’s ranting tweets caught many by surprise, with some wondering if she had been hacked. However, Coulter doubled down in later tweets, complaining that the candidates were pandering to Israel, Jews, and Evangelicals. When someone called her tweet about Jews offensive, she joked that she had much more offensive ones. She defended her comments to a number of Twitter users who called the tweet offensive.

Her tweet also unleashed several anti-Semitic responses in support of her anti-Israel stance, including one tweet that included a drawing of someone wearing a Star of David defecating into Uncle Sam’s mouth, which is too graphic to include here.

Coulter also complained that the Republicans were pandering to the pro-life crowd, accused the candidates (except Trump) of wanting to bring terrorists to America as refugees, made fun of Chris Christie’s weight and Rand Paul’s hair, and called Carly Fiorina “annoying.” Only Trump escaped her vitriol.

Reagan sets Ann Coulter straight

Ann Coulter says soccer will destroy America because it encourages communism and other cultures. I may not like soccer much, but I'll take it over a race-baiting self promoter like Ann Coulter.

Ann Coulter throws Latinos under the bus

Ann Coulter my be a darling to many of us on the right, but that doesn't mean she's always right. Her shameless self-promotion often causes her to say really stupid things, including her recent tirade in which she argued Latinos could never be Republican because they are immoral, lazy people. Gee, thanks Ann.

In response, a group of conservative Republican Latinos is calling Coulter out. You can read all the details by clicking right here.
