I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that Ann Coulter can go on national TV and say that Jews all need to be perfected or that the world would be better off it it were all Christian, or that she doesn’t think that there’s anything wrong with saying so.
Appearing on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC show, “The Big Idea,” on Monday night, columnist/author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren’t any Jewish people and that they needed to “perfect” themselves into — Christians.
It’s really hard for me to talk about Coulter without wanting to break into a string of profanity. She seems to enjoy waving red flags in front of bulls and then laughing at the chaos. Generally, I figure that ignoring her is better than stooping to her level or buying into her brand of craziness. But some things are over the line and need to be called as such.
To be clear: Coulter is entitled to believe whatever she wants. If she thinks that Jews are imperfect and that Christians are better than Jews, that’s her right. But there’s another name for that belief, and it’s called bigotry.
It’s wrong, and so is she.
Small wonder that with bigots like her out there as the face of Christianity, the overall perception of Christianity in the US is rapidly plummeting.
Trust Ann Coulter to insult one religious block while misrepresenting another. Boy, does she need a course in New Testament 101 if she thinks being Christian equates to perfect. But then, she thinks the Republican Convention was representative of heaven?
Why waste profanity on someone as ignorant as Ann Coulter. Save it for her buddy Dubya.
By the way, thanks for the link to the excellent article from Barna.
I know, and I really do try to ignore her most of the time. This one, though, really pushed my buttons — which is probably what she was trying to do.
What can I say, I’m not perfect. :p
Tee hee … then what is *my* excuse?
She pushes my buttons too. And you are right, that’s what she wants to do. I’d offer her some recommended reading, but I really doubt that she can read.
