Ann Coulter is Not Helping
American Thinker ^ | October 13, 2007 | Richard Baehr

Posted on 10/13/2007 3:40:48 PM PDT by EveningStar

...The issue with Coulter is not whether she can sell books, but whether she helps or hurts the side of the political debate she claims to support. In my opinion, Coulter has never been a big help to the effort to build a conservative and Republican majority. Her most recent comments on the relationship of Christianity to Judaism, made on the CNBC show " The Big Idea" with Donnie Deutsch on Monday of this week , may prove particularly damaging...

At a time when party affiliation is fraying and a third of Americans consider themselves independent, to build a majority of 50% plus one requires persuasion. Independents will not accept all parts of either party's platform or approach but will choose a candidate for office based on which issues matter to them, and whether one or the other party connects with them on those issues. It is a skill to disagree at times without being disagreeable. Ronald Reagan had it, and it is one of the reasons he became so popular and patched together a large winning coalition . Coulter has clearly decided there is no economic advantage for her in this approach...

Conservatives shouldn’t be afraid of opinions.

Someone has to say what’s on most of our minds.

The candidates can’t.

I am guessing that Coulter will not be given a prime time slot to speak at the 2008 RNC.

As for the 10% of Jews that do vote Republican, they are gone.

Thanks Ann!

The job of the Christian is limited to sharing the Gospel, not imposing it by force or threats. Christians are taught by no less an authority than the Lord Himself, “And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
- Hal Lindsey -

Exactly1 Goodness knows, liberals don't give a rip about how offensive their comments are.

She does nothing to hurt the conservative cause. All of this Broo ha ha is because she would not go along with those that would crown Rooty king of the US.

Truth hurts.
Wahhhh!

A party that does not stand for principles,

full of RINO’s pretending to be republicans,

no spines or stomaches for a real political fight,

THAT IS WHAT IS NOT HELPING.

Ann Coulter Rocks!!

I'd suspect the number of leftists, moderates, or independents she's brought to conservatism is precisely zero.

You mean Ann Coulter doesn't run the republican party?

Shocking

I thought only liberals were afraid of opinions

I don’t believe “helping” is part of her agenda. I don’t think Coulter does much for conservatism and I guess I didn’t even realize that she was a Christian.

She sure can sell books though!

All of NY wants to crown Rudy..they aren’t all Jews...just loony lefties. (my apologies to the three real conservatives there). I don’t get it, unless she is saying NY money is behind Rudy. Then she may have a point. But what did she say?

How quickly some of our very own conservative friends suck up the Left’s ambush & smear tactics.

I got this from LGF, who got it from Live Leak. It’s the entire segment of the interview in question, and Anne is very clear about her meaning. Danny is a moron. A hyper-sensitive moron.

So you couldn’t find any scriptures that tell us of our responsibility to preach the Gospel? And that to the Jew first?

Couldn’t find anything like that, huh?
