I think David Horowitz has it right:
“I have received a surprising number of emails from friends basically asking “What are you going to do about Coulter?” This is a reference to her recent comment that she is hoping for the perfection of the Jews. My response is this: what else would a Christian hope for? That’s the message of the New Testament: Jesus came to fulfil, complete, perfect the Law. If you’re a Christian, that’s what you believe. If you don’t accompany this belief by burning Jews who refuse to become perfected at the stake why would any Jew have a problem? Why do some Jews think that Christians should not really believe what they believe while it’s okay for Jews to really believe they are God’s Chosen People? I don’t get it. Whatever happened to the pluralism of ideas? In any case, what I’m going to do about Coulter is finish her latest exhilarating book, If Democrats Had Any Brains They’d Be Republicans, which happens to be a hall of fame of her so-called “over the top” moments that drive leftists crazy. Right on Ann.”

What’s interesting about this manufactured tempest, is that I don’t see many Jews being really upset about it, but the (mostly atheist) far Left is. I’m sure we can find plenty of upset Jews, but from statements by Horowitz, Debbie Schlussel, and a number of (mostly non-practicing) Jews on another forum, I don’t see many. Their attitude is mostly “They say we need ‘perfecting’, we say we’re the Chosen People. Who cares!?”
This is a controversy manufactured by the Left to attempt to slam Coulter and to generate ratings for their media.
