Ann Coulter's dream - solar - 10-24-2007 06:24 AM Ann Coulter's dream of a Jew-free America by Bradley Burston, for haaretz.com (from this link) Last update - 13:34 16/10/2007 From time to time, particularly in the wake of schoolyard shootings, failing markets, failing wars, failing administrations and the like, Americans take pause to take stock, wondering what's at the bottom of the malaise that afflicts their beloved, chronically clueless nation. What is it, really, that's wrong with America? If we're taking nominations, I'd like to open the bidding with Ann Coulter. You may know her as the acerbic, not to say verbally abusive, syndicated columnist whose bare-knuckles conservative punditry raises hackles and ratings across the cable news spectrum. This month, Coulter waded into the mess first made by Republican White House hopeful John McCain, when he referred to America [referring to this link] as a nation founded on the principles of Christianity, indicating that he would prefer to see a fellow Christian in the White House. Barely a week after McCain's comments, Coulter told an exasperated Jewish talk-show host that in her dreams, heaven - for that matter, America - is a place where everyone is Christian. Where would the Jews have gone? She went on to explain that that Jews needed to convert to Christians in order to be "perfected," noting that Christians have a "fast track" to God. Appearing on CNBC's The Big Idea, hosted by Donny Deutsch, Coulter was asked what America would look like if she had her way. "It would look like New York City during the [2004] Republican National Convention," Coulter replied. "In fact, that's what I think heaven is going to look like." Asked to expand on the theme, Coulter said "People were happy. They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America." Deutsch, growing at once incredulous and offended, responded "So we should be Christian? It would be better if we were all Christian?" to which Coulter answered with a simple yes, later inviting Deutsch to attend church with her. DEUTSCH: We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians, then? COULTER: Yeah. DEUTSCH: Really? COULTER: Well, it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track. Deutsch then suggested similarities between Coulter's position and that of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. 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. A commercial break ensued, during which Coulter asked Deutsch for a chance to explain the comment about "perfecting" Jews. She adamantly turned aside all suggestions that the comment could be offensive to Jews, that it could be construed as hateful or anti-Semitic. "I don't think you should take it that way," she said. "But that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews." Until recently, I failed to take Ann Coulter seriously. I was wrong. I was wrong to write off as mere stand-up racism her advice after the September 11 attacks ["We should require passports to fly domestically. Passports can be forged, but they can also be checked with the home country in case of any suspicious-looking swarthy males."] I was wrong to write off as scattershot shtick her comments against women's right to vote, her suggestion that John Edwards was a "faggot" who should have been assassinated by terrorists, her depiction of Islam as a religion whose whose tenets are "along the lines of 'kill everyone who doesn't smell bad and doesn't answer to the name Mohammed.'" I was wrong to see her as some highly intelligent, well-educated, perversely gifted panderer to the lower common denominator. I was wrong to see her as some overqualified infotainment shock jock. I should have taken her seriously. Ann Coulter is my enemy. Ann Coulter is the kind of patriotic, persuasive, powerful American who is precisely what is wrong with America. I'll never underestimate her again. Ann Coulter has a plan for the Jews. She has one for Muslims as well. And it's her people who are exactly the kind of Americans who could find the way to try to carry it out. Ann Coulter's dream - solar - 10-24-2007 06:43 AM Columnist Ann Coulter Shocks Cable TV Show, Declaring 'Jews Need to Be Perfected by Becoming Christians' Thursday , October 11, 2007, foxnews.com (from this link) 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.
