Colbert & Coulter

I'm a big fan of The Colbert Report so I read with interest in HuffPo's Eat The Press that New York magazine has a cover story about Stephen Colbert. In the review, ETP says:
No doubt there will be some interesting ad thoughtful nuggets in there; indeed, we've got some below as Sternbergh deconstructs Colbert's swaggering, outrageous blowhard demeanor and commentary and finds it surprisingly similar to that of...Ann Coulter. In fact, he offers The Stephen Colbert-Ann Coulter Challenge:
I'll leave it to you to read the article and the review but here's the challenge:
See if you can tell the difference between comments made by Colbert and Coulter.
  1. "Even Islamic terrorists don't hate America like liberals do. They don't have the energy. If they had that much energy, they'd have indoor plumbing by now."
  2. "There's nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell."
  3. "I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law."
  4. "Being nice to people is, in fact, one of the incidental tenets of Christianity, as opposed to other religions whose tenets are more along the lines of 'Kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and answer to the name Muhammad.'"
  5. "I believe that everyone has the right to their own religion, be you Hindu, Muslim, or Jewish. I believe there are infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior."
  6. "[North Korea] is a major threat. I just think it would be fun to nuke them and have it be a warning to the rest of the world."
  7. "Isn't an agnostic just an atheist without balls?"

(Answers: Coulter 1, 4,6; Colbert 2, 3, 5, 7)
