This is a pretty inflammatory remark from her. I'm not sure how well this will go over as a thread but I'll see... I really don't like her. She's beyond annoying.


(I think this is from last week's show)

Slash-and-burn columnist Ann Coulter shocked a cable TV talk-show audience Monday when she declared that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians, and that America would be better off if everyone were Christian.

Coulter made the remarkable statements during an often heated appearance to promote her new book on advertising guru Donny Deutsch's CNBC show "The Big Idea."

In response to a question from Deutsch asking Coulter if "it would be better if we were all Christian," the controversial columnist responded: "Yes."

"We should all be Christian?" Deutsch repeated.

"Yes," Coulter responded, asking Deutsch, who is Jewish, if he would like to "come to church with me."

Deutsch, pressing Coulter further, asked, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians?" She responded: "Yeah."

Coulter deflected Deutsch's assertion that her comments were anti-Semitic, matter-of-factly telling the show's obviously upset host, "That is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews."

The show transcript of their conversation about Jews appears below:

DEUTSCH: Let me ask you a question. We're going to get off strengths and weakness for a second. If you had your way, and all of your — forget that any of them —

COULTER: I like this.

DEUTSCH: — are calculated marketing teases, and your dreams, which are genuine, came true having to do with immigration, having to do with women's — with abortion — what would this country look like?

COULTER: UMMMMM (pause) ... It would look like New York City during the Republican National Convention. In fact, that's what I think heaven is going to look like.

DEUTSCH: And what did that look like?

COULTER: Happy, joyful Republicans in the greatest city in the world.

DEUTSCH: No, no, no, no, but I'm talking about this country. You don't want to make this country — it's not about Republicans. I'm saying, what would the fabric of this country look like? Forget that the Republicans would be running the show.

COULTER: Well, everyone would root for America, the Democratic Party would look like Joe Lieberman, the Republican Party would look like Duncan Hunter —

DEUTSCH: No, no, no, I don't want — I'm not talking about politically the landscape. What would our — would we be safer? Would people be happier? Would they be more —

COULTER: We would be a lot safer.

DEUTSCH: Would there be more tolerance? Would there be — would women be happier, would the races get along better? The Ann Coulter subscription — prescription. What — tell me what would be different in our fabric of country, because —

COULTER: Well, all of those things.

DEUTSCH: I can give — I can give you an argument there would be more divisiveness, that there would be more hate —

COULTER: Oh, no.

DEUTSCH: That there would be a bigger difference between the rich and the poor, a lot of other — tell me what — why this would be a better world? Let's give you — I'm going to give you — say this is your show.

COULTER: Well, OK, take the Republican National Convention. People were happy. They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America, they —

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 —

COULTER: Whenever I'm harangued by —

DEUTSCH: — in this country? You can't believe that.

COULTER: — you know, liberals on diversity —

DEUTSCH: Here you go again.

COULTER: No, it's true. I give all of these speeches at megachurches across America, and the one thing that's really striking about it is how utterly, completely diverse they are, and completely unself-consciously. You walk past a mixed-race couple in New York, and it's like they have a chip on their shoulder. They're just waiting for somebody to say something, as if anybody would. And —

DEUTSCH: I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that at all. Maybe you have the chip looking at them. I see a lot of interracial couples, and I don't see any more or less chips there either way. That's erroneous.

COULTER: No. In fact, there was an entire "Seinfeld" episode about Elaine and her boyfriend dating because they wanted to be a mixed-race couple, so you're lying.

DEUTSCH: Oh, because of some "Seinfeld" episode? OK.

COULTER: But yeah, I think that's reflective of what's going on in the culture, but it is completely striking that at these huge megachurches — the idea that, you know, the more Christian you are, the less tolerant you would be is preposterous.

DEUTSCH: That isn't what I said, but you said I should not — we should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians, then, or —

COULTER: Yeah.

DEUTSCH: Really?

COULTER: Well, it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track.

DEUTSCH: Really?

COULTER: Yeah. You have to obey.

DEUTSCH: You can't possibly believe that.

COULTER: Yes.

DEUTSCH: You can't possibly — you're too educated, you can't — you're like my friend in —

COULTER: Do you know what Christianity is? We believe your religion, but you have to obey.

DEUTSCH: No, no, no, but I mean —

COULTER: We have the fast-track program.

DEUTSCH: Why don't I put you with the head of Iran? I mean, come on. You can't believe that.

COULTER: The head of Iran is not a Christian.

DEUTSCH: No, but in fact, "Let's wipe Israel" —

COULTER: I don't know if you've been paying attention.

DEUTSCH: "Let's wipe Israel off the earth." I mean, what, no Jews?

COULTER: No, we think — we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say.

DEUTSCH: Wow, you didn't really say that, did you?

COULTER: Yes. That is what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. We know we're all sinners —

DEUTSCH: In my old days, I would have argued — when you say something absurd like that, there's no —

COULTER: What's absurd?

DEUTSCH: Jews are going to be perfected. I'm going to go off and try to perfect myself —

COULTER: Well, that's what the New Testament says.

DEUTSCH: Ann Coulter, author of "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans," and if Ann Coulter had any brains, she would not say Jews need to be perfected. I'm offended by that personally. And we'll have more "Big Idea" when we come back.

(BREAK)

DEUTSCH: Welcome back to "The Big Idea." During the break, Ann said she wanted to explain her last comment. So I'm going to give her a chance. So you don't think that was offensive?

COULTER: No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be. I don't think you should take it that way, but that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews. We believe the Old Testament. As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to, you know, live up to all the laws. What Christians believe — this is just a statement of what the New Testament is — is that that's why Christ came and died for our sins. Christians believe the Old Testament. You don't believe our testament.

DEUTSCH: You said — your exact words were, "Jews need to be perfected." Those are the words out of your mouth.

COULTER: No, I'm saying that's what a Christian is.

DEUTSCH: But that's what you said — don't you see how hateful, how anti-Semitic —

COULTER: No!

DEUTSCH: How do you not see? You're an educated woman. How do you not see that?

COULTER: That isn't hateful at all.

DEUTSCH: But that's even a scarier thought. OK —

COULTER: No, no, no, no, no. I don't want you being offended by this. This is what Christians consider themselves, because our testament is the continuation of your testament. You know that. So we think Jews go to heaven. I mean (Jerry) Falwell himself said that, but you have to follow laws. Ours is "Christ died for our sins." We consider ourselves perfected Christians. For me to say that for you to become a Christian is to become a perfected Christian is not offensive at all.

DEUTSCH: We will let the audience decide then, won't we? Ann Coulter. New book. More "Big Idea" straight ahead.

Ann Coulter is no different than any other "shock jock" morning radio host.

If you took away her constant controversial announcements like this she would fade into the woodwork like the nothing she is. All she is trying to do is sell her books and speaking engagements to the phony pseudo intellectuals who are shallow enough to find any thing of consequence in her words.

Rush Limbaugh is the same. He is an entertainer, not some sage, wise source of info.

They are both in the same category as Howard Stern... They shoot their mouths off hoping to piss someone off so they can stay in the limelight a bit longer to sell more advertising.

Nobody, and I mean nobody should give them any more attention than you would Britney Spears or Paris Hilton... They are nothing other than products of media marketing. They are of ZERO importance.

The reason you are outraged by her statements is because you recognize them as empty bullshit, and you are outraged she has a national audience for her valueless muttering. Anyone who cares to think for themselves dismisses idiots like Ann Coulter as the far fringe nut-job she is.

She is just hustling a buck.

Amen.

[badnation]

Like Stanley said, she's just hustling a buck. Too bad since her "once gone sours" probably just needs some rejuvenation.

[Sir Don]

It's said to note that most of the wars in this world were created by religious bigots. So many peoples of differing religions have been killed by people/governments of a still different religion, and they do this in the name of God or Whoever.

If Christ's face could be seen (when the zealots create death/hate in His name), the eyes would be filled with tears.

[Mindfury]

Ann who? I'd hit it. At least the greasman was a funny shock jock,b4 he came out to los angeles.i dont take any of these radio personality's serious, cept for alex jones, and tom lykis.
Peace

[dizzypooh7]

I happen to be of the Jewish "Race" as it is NOT soley a religion, and I've been laughing my a** off since reading this interview!!

Great material man...really! Someone needs to go on-stage with this, it's worth bucks!!

Too funny how nuts she is, the people with the giant butterfly catchers let one get away me thinks.. ROFL

Peace

you hit the nail on the head.....

[Jeffster]

It scares me to think how many otherwise successful seeming Americans do take her seriously. She has been called a female Rush Limbaugh. One of her most infamous quotes was when she said that what Timothy McVeigh did wrong was not going to the Times building in NYC instead of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.

It really scares me that anyone takes her seriously at all. It scares me even more that it may not be just an act with her. She may believe much of the hateful, prejudiced things that she says, all wrapped up nicely in how good it would be for the country and the Republican party.

With mixed feelings, I'll hit the "Submit Reply" button now, because I feel bad about re-writing any of her terrible remarks.

Ann Coulter "needs to be perfected".

No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.
-Helen Keller

Will my Jew-Fro go away once I am perfected?

Yeah, and if she'd just shut-up, I'd perfect the out of her! She's cute in a skinny, witch, euro, long legged hot trashy chick with a sugar daddy kind of way. Luv to hear her moan "oh, oh, smoke a fatty, oh Jesus, of fatty, oh Jesus, yeah, yeah, fatty, oh Goddddddd.....ahhhhhhh.....ummmmm...."

Can one waterboard the undead?

I mean, she talks, so she must breathe, right?

:slaugh:

[420bunny]

I have learned not to react to balderdash.
There are many people who believe the earth
is really flat and man going to the moon is
really a Hollywood movie set.

Everyone who is anyone know Jews are the
chosen and it brings good luck to have them as
friends. I for one am on J date and have met
the most wonderful men, I should be so lucky
to marry into a Jewish family! OI VAY!


When God created Man, He knew He could
do better, so He created Woman. Mazaltof.

I don't like to be unkind.

Especially to the undead, who, after all, can't help it.

But I'm down with being unkind to the unkind.

I'm intolerant of intolerance.

Up against the wall, bigot! Let's repress Ann Coulter!

"She's beyond annoying" is such a classic understatement MRT!

:slaugh:

[KushMeister]

Baruch Atah.......Uhhh, what's the blessing for perfection???


What a piece of crap she is!

[nigel]

Now, if she had insulted african americans, she would have probably been fired. Then she would have to go on talk shows and explain how she is actually "down with african american culture." Finally, she would have to go on tv and apologize to Jessee Jackson. LOL>.. BUt Insulting Jews? What is she gonna do? Go to temple, live In a KIbbutz, Listen to weird music? Maybe matis Yahoo. Who is she supposed to apologize to? The rabbi? Maybe if she wore a yamukah. Forgive my spelling errors.

Oy, don't get me started with the perfection. My mother with the kvetching, and my father, it would kill him to call once in a while? Vey ist mir, I should live so long to see perfection. As my grandmother would say, may she rest in peace, is this mishegoss good for the Jews?

[gopers]

She does know how to insert both feet into her mouth. I just wish that Jesse Jackson would have been lamblasted when in 1988 when he was running for president, he referred to New York as being Hymee(sic?) Town. Certain groups of all races in the US are just plain bigots! There are no party affiliation for racism.
And yeah, she does it for a buck, while most others do it because they believe it!
And yes I know this thread was started in 2007.

[BrattonBasher]

The only thing that needs perfecting is the Moils blade! LOL

Now that would be fun!

ann coulter needs to shut the fuck up. she is a nazi skank posing as a human.

[Nailhead]

What religion does Miss Coulter subscribe too? That one that teaches we are all imperfect children of God?
