THIS IS NOT A MEDIA MATTERS GOTCHA SMEAR! COULTER DID THIS TO HERSELF.

Anyone who would defend this is part of the cadre of the Republican Party are part of the reason the national Republican Party to never gain a majority (or large plurality) of Jewish-American voters and political donors. And Hindi-Americans. And Muslim-Americans. And Agnostics. And Atheists.
Don't try and defend her, or explain "what she really meant". How about letting HER do so for a change?
Coulter used Falwell’s belief in “dual-covenant” theology as her basis for this outburst. If she believes as Falwell does, than she shouldn’t care whether Jews convert to Christianity, since they would go to Heaven anyway.
Too bad she didn’t talk about Salvation but she is extremely Bold to speak of her Faith.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I see in the full transcript she Romneyed after the break. Or maybe it was just a Kerry-style botched joke.
So you’d rather Ann say nothing about people who are basically hellbound without Christ? We are called by Jesus to spread His word. It takes courage.
You got sucked right in on this, didn’t you?
Who runs Media Matters and why does that matter?
Are we so self delusional as to think that Christians do not consider themselves above Jews - that Christians consider themselves as Jesus’ Chosen People?
Criticize Ann all you want but she is only stating the 2000 year old obvious.
And how is this anti-semetic if Jews similarly consider themselves God’s Chosen People? Are Jews then anti-goy?
You think it is bizarre that a Christian wants other people including Jews to be saved? That is bizarre.
Any questions?
Zulu has it right. If you strongly believe something is true, e.g., a religion or global warming or whatever, then it follows that people who don’t share that view are imperfect in your eyes. Every left-wing democrat thinks republicans are imperfect or worse. So, Coulter’s comment, although dumb, is no different from what democrats say every day about their opponents.
Quite frankly sometimes I feel like I'd like to slap her.
If I didn't believe that, I would not be a Christian.
Perfect place to try out my new tagline...
What are you, an idiot??
THis is one of the most innocuous things Ann has ever said.
Your comprehension is about as deep as a bottle cap, and on a level with that sterling intellect, Donny Deutsch.
I guess an exhortation to “read it again” would do no good, you’re one of those people who need to be offended.
Go watch the actual interview. She was not insulting that poor man. She was debating him and he got angry ,she was then taken aback by his hostility and looked for a way to end it on a friendly note. At the end she shakes her head in bewilderment at his anger.
disclaimer, I am not a Coulter fan.
Good God. We have to be smarter than our enemies, folks. Ann doesn't hate Jews. She thinks they need to follow Christ. And we are wanting to condemn her for her religious speech?!
She also happens to be an ardent defender of Israel, and a woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind about the true enemies of freedom: Islamofacists and liberals.
Jews do not need to perfected; they need to be converted.
Far from siding with Ann, but in all fairness, what Ann said is not new and is arguably not anti-semetic.
Thousand of jewish people who come to embrace Christianity call themselves just that : “true Jews” or “Completed Jews”.
A good case in point is the Jewish rapper “50 Shekels” now Aviad Cohen, who , on his last CD calls himself “True Jew”, after discovering his Messiah Yeshua (Jesus)... listen to his music : a v i a d c o h e n . c o m (no spaces)
shalom !
