Doug, I heard it myself. She said Jews needed to be perfected. Not only is it offensive by itself, but taken together with any little bit of knowledge about the events of the 20th century, and a thinking person would not have said it. I don’t happen to care if I sound like a Dem; Ann was wrong on this one.
I agree - to someone else’s point - that she is trying to sell books.
I suggest you listen to it again (see post #124 for link). I just did and the transcript is accurate. Deutch said it - misquoting Ann; Ann did not.
Since you believe you "heard it myself", after listening again, you might discover that you were susceptible to a counterfactual suggestion and manipulated to "remember hearing" something that never occured. Actually, most people are amazingly susceptible to such psychological tricks and that is the danger we face in this struggle.
I think if you listen to it again, Ann was quite clear that both Jews and Christians had their own routes to salvation. Her "want" merely expressed that she believes Christianity is the easier/faster path. She repeatedly referred to the path to "obey" (the law of the Old Testament) in accordance with Judaism without denegration, pointing out it was another path to salvation, equally valid but just a more difficult one. There is nothing wrong with wanting one's friends to "walk across the bridge with you instead of climbing the banks of a chasm" to reach the same destination.
