The phrase is "completed Jew," which refers to Jesus completing the Old Covenant. It is not "perfected Jew."

Why are they asking?

In order to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Ha,ha,Annie can’t go too far because there’s no such thing as too far unless freedom of speech is finally brought to an end by the liberals in this country !!!

She was simply expressing Christian doctrine that people who accept Christianity go to Heaven and those who don’t don’t. Nothing anti-Semitic about it, and the mainstream media knows it.

And while it may not have been the precisely correct word, I ahvae no objection to “perfected.”

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.”

It would be different if she had said that everyone MUST be a Christian (as some Hindu leaders in India have said about Hinduism, as bin Laden says about his brand of Islam), but she is saying that people SHOULD (her opinion, her theological belief), which is an entirely different thing.

They really need to read the first chapter of her new book.

Now if the MSM were to treat Ann Coulter the way they treat their fellow liberals then the only thing we should discuss is whether Ann Coulter had the right to say anything. And that is the only issue that we would discuss. And of course any criticism of Ann would be equivalent to censorship or of course questioning her patriotism.

THeir transcript cuts off the part after the break where she tried to explain what she meant. He cut her off to go to the break and let anyone sharing his offense fester.

If you wish, please check out the links below. Kevin McCullough.Townhall.com See the segment (with commercials) on the show by watching the You Tube flash segment about 1/2 way down the page. WOR radio segment in which Ann explains her comments in the first segment. here

This may be lacking in context, but Ann Coulter may be the Biil Buckley of Conservative Rhetoric for our generation.

She doesn’t climb over walls she demolishes them and then has the temerity to ask the previously PC locked “unaskable” or unsayable.

She should stay away from the Theology though, deep answers require more then a 15 second response.

Why does it matter? I understood perfectly well what Coulter meant. Deutcsh probably understood as well as I.

The phrase "completed Jew" isn't scriptural, is it? It is simply descriptive.

And in the end, neither phrase is accurate. There are no perfect human beings. The only completed human beings are dead ones and that is only because they're finished.

The point is Coulter can be what she wants to be and say what she wants to say.The reality is she jars almost as many “conservatives” as she does liberals, and I think that’s why I love her so much !!!

Several months ago, Hugh Hewitt announced that Ann Coulter was no longer welcome on his show.

It's a tempest in a teapot engineered by Media Matters. She said nothing offensive. Just replace Jews and Christians with Mets and Yankees in the supposedly offensive part of the conversation and see if you are still offended.
DEUTSCH: The Yankees -- so we should be Yankees fans? It would be better if we were all Yankees fans?

COULTER: Yes.

DEUTSCH: We should all be Yankees fans?

COULTER: Yes. Would you like to come to the playoffs with me, Donny?

DEUTSCH: So I should not be a Mets fan, I should be a Yankees fan, and this would be a better place?

COULTER: Well, you could be a practicing Mets fan, 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 Mets fans, no Red Sox fans --

Original:
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 --

“”We’re going to show you what [Ann Coulter] said, and then you decide if you think maybe she should be taken off the airwaves permanently,” NBC’s Meredith Viera told Today show viewers on Friday morning.

“Some people are actually saying she should not be on television any more,” Viera told viewers.”

And just who would make that ruling?

Hillary as President?

Harriet Reid as Dear Leader of the Senate?

Joe Stalin as... oh, wait, he’s dead.

Karl Marx as.. oh wait, he’s also dead.

But there should be some Commie who could do this, maybe Hugo Chavez could ban Ann Coulter. That’s the ticket!!

Don’t be too sure the MSM knows that.

I really don’t think they understand Christianity at all.

Exactly right. There can be no true controversy until we ask: what kind of persuasion may rightly be used to get people to convert?

The acceptable means should be obvious to most, with only one question- NAGGING... Is nagging OK?

It absolutely crosses the line, in my opinion, but that's never stopped a functional sales and marketing department within a business (or a religion) from making offensive jerks of themselves.

I don't think Ann "nags" about anything.... so why all the fuss?
