Ann Coulter's Jew problem

After the GOP debate on Wednesday night, Ann Coulter sent out the following tweets.  As left-leaning Israeli newspaper Haaretz noted:

Coulter, who has 660,000 Twitter followers, was reacting to the frequent mentions of Israel made by participants in the second televised Republican debate held Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Library in California.

As to Coulter’s tweet at the top, the candidates were asked how the world would look different once Air Force One was parked in the hangar of their presidential library.  (See debate transcript here.)

Coulter misrepresented the question in her tweet and then used it as an opportunity to bash candidates who included Israel in their answer.  But more than bash candidates, she bashed Israel and Jews.  And it was as if she were champing at the bit to do so.

I have never been a fan of Ann Coulter and have often wondered why she is such a darling of the right.  She appears immature, haughty, obnoxious, full of herself, and self-conscious (enough with the hair gesture, Ann), and sometimes downright vile.

"f---ing Jews.."

WOW she needs to chill

[pgkdan]

Is this for real??? I never knew Ann was an anti-Semite. This is really low.

Dear Ann:

Do not tweet when you are drunk!

Why do so many Jews love Obama?

Obama loathes Israel and Jews.

Someone who can publish a vile tweet full of hate is not a decent person and not someone the conservative movement should embrace.

I was sickened by Ann Coulter and have resolved to turn my back on her for good.

Isn’t that a slap at Hillary who is famous for saying exactly that? I think that’s what she was up to, but didn’t pull it off very well.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

I understood that Ann Coulter was re-tweeting a comment made by Hillary when referencing "those f***ing Jews".
Was I misinformed ?

Don’t tweet or text when you’ve been drinking. Everyone knows that.

Ann just needs a little more radiation - she’ll be fine.

[Sans-Culotte]

Hmmm. Not sure what those tweets even meant. Looked like something Olbermann would have tweeted.

[traderrob6]

No, you are not but the kneejerk commenter’s on this thread most definately are.

[JudyinCanada]

First thing I thought!

TWI - not a good thing. Put your phone away just before you open the bottle.

Please tell me this is from the Onion, please please please?

Ann you have jumped the shark... yes I know it’s tempting to say if we pushed Israel off of American concerns we wouldn’t get all this Islamic wrath at us... don’t believe it for a moment, those Islamic guys get mad for any or no reason. Israel represents the only semi-sane country left in the Middle East and by far the most productive one per capita of anything other than oil and madrassas.

“Why do so many Jews love Obama?

Good question. Same for the majority of Catholics who also went for him. It makes no sense. Even the 42% of protestants who vote for him mystify me.

He is an anathema to every religion I know of except islam.

Israel still has to shed a lot more of the socialist policies embedded into its laws. I think our own Constitution is the best guide to what we should look like.

Coulter was making the cynical assumption that these candidates never mean what they say, and only try to appeal to some voting bloc or another (”f’ing Jews” or “Evangelicals” in this case). I think she ought to spend a few more milliseconds weighing her words before committing them to print.

[DesertRhino]

Was she drinking? I hadn’t heard that.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There is a place for quotation marks and such if so. Surely there is a way to reference others’ tweets in such a way?

Please Ann, don’t give us a heart attack like that again.

[Essie]

Ann's late boyfriend was Jewish, so I don't think that she's antisemitic, but her comment was indefensible.

[MichaelCorleone]

I feel sorry for you, Ann. I don’t know what your problem is but the remedy for your ills may include professional help.
