NEW YORK Appearing on Donny Deutsch's CNBC show, "The Big Idea," on Monday night, columnist/author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren't any Jewish people and that they needed to "perfect" themselves into -- Christians.
It led Deutsch to suggest that surely she couldn't mean that, and when she insisted she did, he said this sounded "anti-Semitic."
Asked by Deutsch whether she wanted to be like "the head of Iran" and "wipe Israel off the Earth," Coulter stated: "No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. ... That's what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament."
Deutsch told E&P's sibling magazine, Adweek, today, "I was offended. And then, and this was interesting, she started to back off and seemed a little upset."
Asked to gauge her reaction, Deutsch said, "I think she got frightened that maybe she had crossed a line, that this was maybe a faux pas of great proportions. I mean, did it show ignorance? Anti-Semitism? It wasn't just one of those silly things."

DEUTSCH: Christian -- so we should be Christian? It would be better if we were all Christian?
COULTER: Yes.
DEUTSCH: We should all be Christian?
COULTER: Yes. Would you like to come to church with me, Donny?
DEUTSCH: So I should not be a Jew, I should be a Christian, and this would be a better place?
COULTER: Well, you could be a practicing Jew, but you're not.
DEUTSCH: I actually am. That's not true. I really am. But -- so we would be better if we were - if people -- if there were no Jews, no Buddhists --
COULTER: Whenever I'm harangued by --

then Christianity itself is anti-semetic. It specifically teaches what Coulter said, and always has. Go ahead, be offended.
Read the whole thing. The guy is twisting what she said and being thoroughly unwilling to even try to comprehend what she means by those words. He is either theologically illiterate or a liar — or both.
“Have you ever read some of Coulter’s crap about invading Middle Eastern countries, killing their leaders and converting them to Christianity? Tell me the difference?”
She doesn’t actually try to do it?
Hyperbole in an emotional interview after a friend was killed on 9/11 (Coulter) vs. actually killing people (OBL). I guess you can’t see the difference. Did you fall for the “phony soldier” thing, as well?
Ann's crime is to believe her religion and to be candid about it. That Freepers would be taken in by the newsies' report and prim horror is distressing.
ENTERTAINING DUNCE dep’t report:
the libs just cant keep from continually stumbling into their own do-do... ..........EACH TIME ANN coulter EXPOSES Another gaggle of LIBERALS, she provides us with more sidesplitting fun. And she does this OVER AND OVER again, it’s a fascinating parade of hilarious, slow-motion train wrecks.
I.E. COULTER ON JOHNNY EDWARDS:
‘I don’t know. I think being called a she-devil by a trial lawyer is meant as a compliment. I thank him for that. But I just want to take, you know, the opportunity with this show to say, “No, John I will not date you.’
is this a great country or what?
NO ONE IS BETTER AT GIVIN THE LIBS THE SHAFT than ANN COULTER.
she’s the berries.... or a she-devil?
further
remember the ‘horror’ the breathless left spewed when ann said............?
‘We should invade their countries , kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” on September 12, 2001.
soon after she spoke annie took them by their hands and explained life to them.....
POINT ONE: “We should invade their countries
POINTs TWO and three: kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.”
LETS SEE NOW:
‘Points one and two, by the end of that VERY week, had become official government policy.’
and as for point three?:
‘converting them to Christianity’
ann explains:
‘I think it might be a good idea to get them on some sort of hobby other than slaughtering infidels. I mean perhaps that’s the Peace Corps, perhaps it’s working for Planned Parenthood, but I’ve never seen the transforming effect of anything like that Christianity.’
HAHA I WONDER IF THE leftys ever caught on?
PROBABLY NOT. (to this day they still wring their little hands over the above wisedom...)
but i’ll tell you one thing....it sure is fun to watch em stumble thru ann’s trap doors on a daily basis.
bwahahhhaahaa
in sum:
liberals remain HILARIOUS, ENTERTAINING DUNCES who star in animal trainer ann’s 3 ring circus. they just can’t figure out what she’s doing....and IT keeps getting BETTER AND BETTER. carry on princess ann.
I see anti-Semitism as the desire to see the entire Jewish race wiped out.
Desiring them to be perfected CANNOT equate to this.
If I desire my child to get A’s when he is now getting B’s in school, am I anti-my-child ?
Welcome to FR.
What is your stand on Christopher Hitchens?
“Hyperbole in an emotional interview after a friend was killed on 9/11 (Coulter) vs. actually killing people (OBL). I guess you can’t see the difference. Did you fall for the “phony soldier” thing, as well?”
I see, well you perhaps may find that to be entertaining but I think she’s a dope. No wonder you’re enamored with her.
It’s a TRANSCRIPT. Do you know what a transcript is?
Compare that transcript with a transcript from another source. If it differs, you can rail at your fellow freepers all you want.
I still like Anne Coulter (I’m Jewish) So Anne is a bomb thrower some times? She is still a positive force
Rumor has it that her boyfriend is former New York City council president Andrew Stein.
Her mom obviously did not tell her to refrain from talking about politics and religion.
LLS
Is today’s Christian still allowed to believe that Jews, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, Wickans, etc. are all going to hell? I guess this TV show host could have asked her, or any other real Christian, that question and he would have had the same sort of tantrum.
there is also a misunderstanding of “perfection” working here. It means completeness in reconciliation with God. Christians believe that is not possible without Christ as Savior.

isn’t that entity a Clintons’ evil hatchling?
The nitwit jumped the shark on Fred Thompson.
She lied - Thompson voted to convict Clinton during the impeachment.
Ann is having a rough week - we only have God to thank.
