You see what you want to see.

Granted, Ann is difficult for some people to “get”, but there is nothing antisemitic in this column.

And there was hardly any “again and again” in it either.

No attacks, no targeting.

It's easy enough to find religious prejudice without squishing it in some where it is not.

Your posts are more anti-Christian than Ann's comments are anti-Jewish.

My posts are anti-Christian?

In what way?

Did I say something like “boy, what church did Clinton, Vitter and Craig learn their Bible?”

No. Because it would be a very stupid thing to say, and because their religion has nothing to do with their indescretions.

Is it because I pointed out the “told ya so” line hit me as anti-Semitic? I felt that way because Ann brought up Mrs. Spitzer’s “Southern Baptist parents”. Why should I care what religion her family is? That’s why I read that line as: the parents of the future Mrs. Spitzer warned that her fiancee would eventually do something bad, because he’s a Jew. Not that he’s from New York, or that he attended Harvard, but that he was a Jew.

If that makes me anti-Christian, then you are way, way, WAY off. I even pointed out that if Spitzer was Catholic, and Ann had subbed the word “Catholic” for “Jew” in the ‘told ya so’ line, Bill Donohue woulda flipped, with good reason.

Do I care what religion Spitzer, Vitter, Clinton, Craig, etc are, or aren’t? No. Because it’s irrelevant. It has nothing to do with any of these cheaters.

Believe me, I ‘get’ Ann. Alot more than you think.

Eliot Spitzer was the golden boy with an absolutely charmed life. His parents were the children of Jewish immigrants, who created a Ralph Lauren lifestyle for their children.

OK, fine. Spitzer is a Jew. Next.

Forget about his career -- those around him better have him on suicide watch. Dudley Do-Right is on tape in a white-knuckle negotiation with pimps about payment for a prostitute. (Let's just be thankful that there's no anti-Semitic expression for Jews haggling about money.)

Joke about a Jew cheaping out on a prostitute...

He lives at the perfect address (Fifth Avenue and 79th St.) with his perfect Harvard Law School-educated Southern Baptist wife -- whose parents must be telling her they told her so right about now --

Right about what? Marrying a wealthy man from a good family??

Had it been a Christian who committed these crimes and had this exact article been printed with the word "Christian" in place of the word "Jew" Christians here would be saying this is another example of media's attack on Christianity.

And I would've agreed with them.

So, with that in mind, let's try this again:

Not *that* looks like some crap straight out of a left-wing Berkley rag.

Don't get me wrong, I do like Ann Coulter. The woman has spunk and I agree with 99% of everything that comes out of her mouth. I'm just saying that she's been jabbing a the Jews a bit lately. Am I offended? Nah. She tends to jab at just about everybody.

I still like her writing, but I'm not going to sit in denial and pretend that she doesn't put her foot in her mouth from time-to-time.
