Obviously this will be interpreted as run of the mill right wing antisemitism.There is no indication that she was mimicking Hillary, that doesn't hold water. As indicated by her further comments.
I like the Jews, I like fetuses, I like Reagan. Didn't need to hear applause lines about them all night.Simple, point to her many comments about too much attention to f***king pro lifers and f***ing Reagan admirers.
No matter, the damage is done, though it should be noted that if candidates were pandering, it was more to please f***ing Evangelicals, not Jewish voters
with a few additions.
Leaving aside Ann’s past comments about a Jew free America would be better (perfect the Jews not eliminate them) and her accompanying bizarre comment that Christianity is the Fedex religion (no rules like Judaism, you just go straight to heaven, they should convert-never understood why Christians weren’t offended), the transcript can be found here.
The question is near the end
TAPPER: OK, here's the more serious question, Ronald Reagan, the 40th President, used the plane behind you to accomplish a great many things. Perhaps, most notably, to challenge Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the wall, and ultimately, to make peace with the USSR.How will the world look different once your Air Force One is parked in the hangar of your presidential library?
I won’t offend Coulter supporters by suggesting she deliberately posed it as How will the
worldAMERICA look different once your Air Force One is parked in the hangar of your presidential library?. That might imply motivation. It was a long night, it was the last or second to last question, and after all Israel was mentioned 7 times before that. The mideast being a peaceful place, she probably couldn’t understand that.The Israel references for those interested.
HUCKABEE: At the end of my presidency I would like to believe that the world would be a safe place, and there wouldn't be the threats. not only to the U.S., but to Israel and our allies, because we would have the most incredible well-trained, well-equipped, well- prepared military in the history of mankind.RUBIO: One of the things that made Ronald Reagan a great president, is that he understood that America was a unique nation, like any other that had existed throughout human history. He knew it was founded on universal principles that were powerful, the dignity of all people, human rights, the rights of all to live in freedom and liberty, and choose their own path in life. He didn't just believe it, he acted on it. That's why bringing down communism was so important to him. If I'm honored with the opportunity to be president, I hope that our Air Force One will fly, first and foremost, to our allies; in Israel, in South Korea, and Japan. They know we stand with them. That America can be counted on.
CRUZ: Ronald Reagan believed in America.
If I'm elected president our friends and allies across the globe will know that we stand with them. the bust of Winston Churchill will be back in the Oval Office, and the American embassy in Israel will be in Jerusalem.
Enemies across this world will know the United States is not to be trifled with. ISIS will be defeated. We will have a president willing to utter the words, "radical Islamic terrorism," and the Ayatollah Khamenei will understand that he will never, ever, ever acquire nuclear weapons.
I don’t see much evidence of pandering. Plenty do, just check out the Twitter feed, #IstandWithAnn.
Ann Coulter is still cool with me.
Never knew she was an anti-Semite. Too bad. But then she did have a Muslim boyfriend.
