Jewish Group Calls On Media To Boycott Right Wing Author (Ann Coulter)

[Purveyor]

The National Jewish Democratic Council called for media organizations to stop inviting arch-conservative Ann Coulter to appear on television after the right wing pundit and author continued her habit of making outrageous, offensive comments on national television.

This time, Coulter said Jews should be "perfected" by accepting Jesus and America would be better off if everyone was a Christian.

A national Catholic organization also criticized Coulter's remarks.

"I'm just dumbfounded that a Christian would even say this in America," Chris Korzen, executive director of Catholics United told RAW STORY.

Korzen said it was "particularly dangerous" to be mixing religious conversion with discussions of what it means to be an American, and he said Coulter's comments reminded him of John McCain referring to the US as a "Christian nation."

"I don't believe I read anything in the constitution about Jesus Christ dying for our sins," Korzen said.

Others called for television networks to ban Coulter from the airwaves.

1. Could this FINALLY be the last straw? Please, MSM?

Stop. giving. her. airtime. Just. stop.

[Sequoia]

6. Yes, please

And since neo-cons like Ann think Jews "secretly" run the country ...well more power to them and get her off the air. "Perfected" eh? Somehow that reminds me of of Hitler wanting to "cleanse" Germany of Jews.

[vankuria]

22. No chance

A Today show appearance is imminent, of course with no counter argument from any progressive voices. And media whore Matt Lauer will tell her what a delight she is. If Hitler were alive today he'd be on the Today show doing a cooking segment, they'd probably think he's a barrel of laughs.

[Greylyn58]

23. God I hope so!

I hope she has finally...FINALLY stepped over the line. And I so agree with you. These shows need to stop giving her a platform from which to spew her bile.

[BootinUp]

2. Old Religion vs New Religion

should be interesting.

[napi21]

3. I can only HOPE that all that power the Jewish groups are supposed to have

shows it this time and forces that b**ch off my TV! Y, I hit the remote as soon as I see her, and never tune into any show I know she's going to be on, but she still sneaks in for a few seconds once in a while! I would LOVE ANY group to manage to knock her off her garbage pile!

[Robbien]

4. Ha lady. You finally picked on the wrong group

The group that has a lot of muscle. Perhaps even more than the RNC.

[piesRsquare]

43. Take your bigotry somewhere else!

If we had more power than the RNC, the country wouldn't be in this mess!

Close to 80% of Jews in the United States are DEMOCRATS!

:mad: :grr:

[leftynyc]

45. You saved me the trouble of

saying the exact same thing. This will do nothing to Coulter. She'll still be saying moronic, bigoted things everytime she has a book coming out and the media will happily pass it on. Jewish controlled media, my ass.

[monktonman]

5. More coulter! more, more ,more!!!!

Let her be the face of the republic party!
more, more, more!!!!!
I'd love to see her everywhere with a giant R stamper on her forehead.
Everytime she opens her mouth she makes more enemies for the pukes.
More ann the man!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

7. Why does this have an echo from history?

hmmm..........

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. Took a directed jab to get them off their ass.

it has been making unchristian remarks forever.

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

9. Somebody needs to tell (M)An Coulter

that "her" hero Adolf Hitler would have had "her" shot. Them Nazis hated the transgender folk as much or more than the Jews.

[L0oniX]

29. LEAVE ANN COULTER ALONE ...shes just a lonely woman facing menopause ...leave her alone

shes was someones sweet baby and she can't help it that everyone hates her so leave her alone ...LEAVE ANN COULTER ALONE!

[silverojo]

42. ROTFL!

"You ought to be thankful that she climbed out of her coffin and performed for you BASTARDS!!!!!" :rofl:

[muntrv]

10. Where's AIPAC on this one?

[Warren DeMontague]

12. How about, where's Ben Stein on this one?

I don't know- he's probably still on that stage he stood on for the 2000 GOP convention. You know, smiling like a doofus as they convocated the thing to "Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ".

BTW, I trust I don't need to remind you that AIPAC doesn't speak for all American Jews, or all Israelis for that matter.

[Howardx]

13. or abe foxman? n/t

[Behind the Aegis]

49. ADL Condemns Ann Coulter's Comment That Jews Need 'To Be Perfected'

New York, NY, October 12, 2007 ... The Anti-Defamation League strongly condemns Ann Coulter for her anti-Semitic comment that Christians "want Jews to be perfected" in an interview with Donny Deutsch on CNBC's "The Big Idea." During her October 8 appearance, Coulter suggested that Jews should convert, adding that, "we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. … That's what Christianity is."

Ann Coulter may be a political pundit but she clearly knows very little about religious theology and interfaith issues. Coulter's remarks are outrageous, offensive and a throwback to the centuries-old teaching of contempt for Jews and Judaism. The notion that Jews are religiously inferior or imperfect because they do not accept Christian beliefs was the basis for 2,000 years of church-based anti-Semitism. While she is entitled to her beliefs, using mainstream media to espouse the idea that Judaism needs to be replaced with Christianity and that each individual Jew is somehow deficient and needs to be "perfected," is rank Christian supersessionism and has been rejected by the Catholic Church and the vast majority of mainstream Christian denominations.

more...

[Canuckistanian]

36. Or Joe Lieberman?

I DARE any news outlet to ask him about that.

[AlCzervik]

11. thats old school jew baiting, i should know.

"Perfected" i haven't heard that one in a long time.

[TahitiNut]

14. Indeed, it's among the oldest signatures for antisemitism. Ancient.

She betrays a Straussian/Rapture pollution in her insanity.

[DS1]

15. Shouldn't be a problem, they own it all, right?

:sarcasm:

[AlCzervik]

17. we do and we're having a meeting, we are not pleased.

gotta close up the bank first.

[pink-o]

30. Yeah, or so I keep hearing! If so, then where's my share???

...I keep expecting that residuals check in the mail from "Jews R Us" but it still hasn't come. Musta been lost along with my Publisher's Clearing House winnings!

[spanone]

16. i just watched her performance on cnn. who the hell does she think she is?

fuck her views on christianity/judaism she is irrelevent...she doesn't have a fucking clue....she's an agitator

she said it'd be great if everyone was a christian....

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. I think this could sink her. She's picked on the wrong folks this time

Annie, you stepped in it big time.....................

[AlCzervik]

20. don't bet on it. She has 9 lives and she still has one or two or left.

i thought trashing 9/11 widows would finish her off.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. She may regret stirring up this group.

Her luck may have run out.

[cali]

27. Nah. She feeds off this stuff

And she doesn't give a shit who she offends. I think you over estimate the power of the people she targeted.

[leftynyc]

47. This will do nothing to her

I'm afraid you can bank on that. The media love controvery and she provides it much to their delight.

[brentspeak]

19. She ran out of outrage ideas, and was desperate enough to go for the anti-semitic angle

Hopefully, this will finally get her out of the public eye. She is a disgrace.

[TheUniverse]

21. Not a smart thing to do.

Ann Coulter is a professional Heckler. She makes a living at offending people. When the NJDC called for a boycott of her, all they are doing is giving for her more attentiton. The best thing to do is to ignore her.

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. Yeah, that'll help

Coming up next on "Assfire," conservative pundit Ann Coulter responds to the National Jewish Democratic Council's call to ban her from the airwaves. Ann will be spitting nails — get it? — so, don't miss this!

[Mike Nelson]

25. Y'all need to change the "Conservative Media"

who loves the wretch.

[L0oniX]

28. If she represents being christian ...I'd rather go to hell. Fortunately she is NOT a real believer.

There is a big difference between those who call themselves christian and those that REALLY believe and study the bible.

[Canuckistanian]

31. She seems to have this pathological need to insult

I'm sure there's a name for it.

[JerseygirlCT]

33. Attention whore? nt

[Canuckistanian]

34. I was thinking more of a medical term

Like "Attention Deficit Disorder"

[Raksha]

41. Attention Deficit Disorder doesn't mean you have a chronic need

to insult people...not even close! It means among other things that you can easily waste the entire day web-surfing when ALL you were going to was log on for a few minutes to check your e-mail, but somehow...

In other words, even Jews who hate Ann Coulter and all other RW bigots can have ADD!

[vankuria]

32. She's no Christian

Anyone as vicious, mean, and hateful as Ms. Coulter couldn't possibly have the love of God in their heart. She represents no true religion that I'm aware of.

[DemoTex]

35. Christianity is a marketing tool for Ann-the-Man Coulter.

READY! FIRE! AIM!

[muntrv]

37. (M)ann needs to enlist in the army, if she wants to really shoot that rifle.

[mod mom]

All humans should boycott this vile creature!

[Eric J in MN]

38. I'm proud to say that Raw Story used a photo of Ann Coulter which I helped spread....

...when I was blogging at "Move Left." (I'm not a blogger anymore and there is no more "Move Left.")

[sellitman]

39. Isn't she dating Andrew Stein?

Wonder if he caught the show?

[WinkyDink]

46. Maybe he's "perfected" ;) .

[Melynn]

40. I think this is it for Coulter

People have enough of her act.

[AntiFascist]

44. I have to give Coulter credit....

this Teutonic dream-come-true may be driving a wedge between Christian zionists who claim to "support" Israel and Jews who follow their faith and tradition. Placing one's group in a superior position to others is the first step in allowing the "others" to be oppressed, whether they are Jews, homosexuals, social liberals, or races/societies considered to be on a lower social order. This is all the more reason to keep American government non-sectarian and not adopt the role of being a solely Christian nation.

[Qanisqineq]

48. I think she likes this kind of attention

If she didn't say outrageous things that pissed certain groups off, no one would pay any attention to her. Everyone would ask, "Ann Who?" and freepers wouldn't rush out to buy her books. She'd be a nobody. I bet she's loving this latest outrage over her comments.

[LeftishBrit]

50. Good for them - and for all who are protesting against her views.

She is a sick person.

[Purveyor]

51. This incident is starting to 'grow some legs'. Our local WJR afternoon drive home talk show

covered the story and not in a favorable way for Coulter.

I might note, the only 2 hours of the day that WJR isn't broadcasting wall-to-wall 'rightwing hate'.

[Jacobin]

52. They like the fundie nut jobs just fine when they are voting for

neo-cons and wanting to blow up Iraq and Iran.

If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas.

I, for one, am glad to see some distance put between these two groups.
