Ann Coulter Shocks Cable TV Show, Declaring 'Jews Need to Be Perfected by Becoming Christians'

Slash-and-burn columnist Ann Coulter shocked a cable TV talk-show audience Monday when she declared that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians, and that America would be better off if everyone were Christian.

Coulter made the remarkable statements during an often heated appearance to promote her new book on advertising guru Danny Deutsch's CNBC show "The Big Idea."

In response to a question from Deutsch asking Coulter if "it would be better if we were all Christian," the controversial columnist responded: "Yes."

"We should all be Christian?" Deutsch repeated.

"Yes," Coulter responded, asking Deutsch, who is Jewish, if he would like to "come to church with me."

Deutsch, pressing Coulter further, asked, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians?" She responded: "Yeah."

Coulter deflected Deutsch's assertion that her comments were anti-Semitic, matter-of-factly telling the show's obviously upset host, "That is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews."

I’m also familiar with 18 year olds that talk trash in internet forums. To suggest Coulter is on ‘meth’ or any other illicit drug, especially in a conservative forum, is very similiar to a young kid playing with daddy’s CB in the driveway, taunting truckers.

Badeye, you could be closer to the truth than you could ever imagine... ;)

As I said in a previous post, unless one has specific evidence of such accusations, they shouldn't be making them. As you pointed out, that's the sort of garbage we see from KosKids and the DUmpster.

She does more damage to conservatism in one sentence than MM can do in a whole movie.

I know!? What was I thinking?!

I’m soooo embarrassed that I didn’t know every Ann thread has to have a picture...

My only concern would be who gets to decide out of the umpteen dozen denominations which one is the TRUE Christian Church

The best thing to do is bypass denominational lines and look to the Bible itself. That is the only 100% trustworthy authority. No man can claim that title.

Wow. Did you have a click-fest on the Posting Comment page? :-)

This is a link to the conversion of a Jew to Christianity as told in his own words on the Marcus Grodi show (Marcus Grodi w/ David Moss).

The Republican party has become one big gray area because of lacking the juevos to align themselves with the truth. Republicans have become so afraid of offending the left, that we’ve practically become them in some areas..We need more people like Ann who has more guts than many Republican senators.

So in your I should convert or disassociate from the Republican Party.

I'd suggest the Constitution Party for you, maybe the Council of Conservative Citizens folk, their platforms are far more in keeping with that position.

Which is anti-Republican.

when she declared that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians, and that America would be better off if everyone were Christian.

If you replace "America" with "Gentiles" then it seems like all the Christians in the New Testament would likely agree. So I suppose expressing a Christian view on the matter is "slash and burn" now? Would the slashing be loving your neighbor as yourself, or would that be the burning part?

Now they'll have to change their handle to just 'Libertarian' because they sure ain't lurking now, not after 5 posts, LOL!

[note to L.L. - just yanking your chain a bit, we've all had that happen, enjoy your evening! ;) ]

Well, he specifically stated he was quoting her and said the words came out of her mouth. They didn’t.

As to the difference between the two version, I’d say “we want them to be perfected” is a hope that something be done by them, while “they need to be perfected” sounds more like something to be done to them, rather than by them.

But that’s some fine mincing for spoken words. I’m not going to defend the overall tone of her comments because I’ve never cared for the overall tone of her comments.

She is like a juvenile trash-talking sports fan, transplanted into the political world.

I’ll take Ingraham or Levin any day of the week.

I believe I’md dead on the mark.

Yes.

Are you having a seizure?

Jesus said essentially the same thing, didn’t He?

I don't know Andy, I don't think I made that comment you're referring to, but I do know that when Christians talk about loving their neighbor as themselves, they mean exactly that, but in the world of leftists and liberals, they view that as a license to promiscuity, if you catch my drift? ;)

Soooo...if the transcript is right, then this was nothing more than a clear case of “donny” WANTING to be offended and putting words in Ann’s mouth.

So what’s new?

[ozzymandus]

Your post speaks for itself. You’re just foaming at the mouth. Why are “conservatives” like you always so anxious not to offend liberals?

[Lurking Libertarian]

I think Jews need to re-evaluate their relationship with the Democratic party, and what Ann said is not going to make them change the way they vote, one way or another.

What Ann said is going to make it 50 times harder to get Jews to change the way they vote.

YEP!
