Ann Coulter does it again: She wants Jews to be "perfected" (I think this is it)
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Conservative commentator and best-selling author Ann Coulter may find herself in the midst of a controversy for comments Monday suggesting America would be better if everyone was Christian.

Asked by CNBC host Donny Deutsch what the U.S. looks like in her dreams, Coulter said it would look like the Republican National Convention in 2004

"People were happy,” she said, according to a transcript provided to CNN by CNBC. “They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America."

When Deutsch responded, "It would be better if we were all Christian?" Coulter said "Yeah."

Deutsch, himself Jewish, continued to press Coulter on her remarks, asking, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians then?"

"Yeah," Coulter responded, adding "Well, it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track."

"You can't possibly believe that," Deutsch responded. “You can’t possibly. You’re too educated.”

"Do you know what Christianity is?" Coulter replied. "See, we believe your religion, but you have to obey. We have the fast track program."

Later in the interview Deutsch asked Coulter if she doesn't want any Jews in the world, Coulter responded, "No, we think — we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say."

"Wow, you didn't really say that, did you," Deutsch said.

I honestly think this is the beginning of the end for her- she finally stepped into blatant anti-Semitism and bigotry on national TV. If she doesn't get Imused, then there is something really wrong with America.

1. She has said so many stupid things before that this is almost a non story.
And I am Jewish.

2. She deserves the same treatment Mel Gibson
the dude from Grey's Anatomy, the other dude from Seinfield and all those bigots got. We can't give her another pass.

17. I never pay attention to these miscreants.
She is just as bad as Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, and O'Reilly.

Best way to get them off the air is not to listen to them.

3. What does she mean by this:
"See, we believe your religion, but you have to obey. We have the fast track program."

Does this mean that Christians can do whatever they want - don't have to obey, don't have to be moral - and that they will get into heaven.

This is a common belief among elite of all nations, over time -- the masses need to behave in a disciplined fashion, but the elite can do whatever they like.

8. I don't know. She's said some silly things before also.
Just boycott her or whatever. Don't buy her books or get her newsletter (if she even has one).

6. No it isn't.
She won't apologize. She never apologizes for anything she says. She'll blow this off, and the whole thing will blow over in a few days.

Apologies are a sign of weakness. I sense that our opponents understand that better than our side does.

11. You know, you need to watch Ann like you would a performance artist
Edited on Thu Oct-11-07 09:56 PM by incapsulated
I really don't think she believes half of what she says. She tries to think up the most outrageous shit she can and then... viola, people talk about it and she is on another talk show and gets another book deal.

It's a racket. I don't pay attention anymore.

13. Nah. This isn't it. I started a thread about this on another site and all the RWers
supported her STILL! They said, "At least she didn't say she wants to exterminate all the Jews or wipe Israel off the map!" Unbelievable.

15. For some Christians she said the truth. To be Christian is to proselytyze.
By the sword if necessary. There are a lot of weird Christian sects. The one she is talking about ruled most of Europe in the Middle Ages and is why Muslims hate Christians.

18. The crazy b**ch needs to be taken to the woodshed for this racist, bigoted crap
WTF? Just when you thought Ann Coulter couldn't sink any lower, she spews out these grotesque comments.

She thinks that people should just throw Judaism away, what a nasty, hateful creature she is, I think she needs to be forced to PUBLICALLY apologize to our Jewish friends for making this statement.

Jaysus, Deutsch then attempts to be polite to Ann, by telling her that she can't possibly believe whats she's commented because she's too educated!

No, she's NOT too educated, we've always known she's as dumb as a box of hammers, and we've always known that she's a bigot, now she's publically confirmed both on national television.

The sadder thing is, that the Right-Wing Ann Coulter Cheerleading Fan Club, will condemn her TODAY for her bigoted comments, yet AS SOON as Ann makes her next comment bashing Democrats, those same people will again resort to kissing her ass.

Pathetic on all levels.
