The Anti-Defamation League strongly condemns Ann Coulter for her anti-Semitic comment that Christians "want Jews to be perfected" in an interview with Donny Deutsch on CNBC's "The Big Idea." During her October 8 appearance, Coulter suggested that Jews should convert, adding that, "we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. That's what Christianity is."
Ann Coulter may be a political pundit but she clearly knows very little about religious theology and interfaith issues...

exactly, we, as christians, are called to evangelize...and i have read many conversion stories of jews to christianity, and many call themselves, ‘completed jews’....
just another attempt to smear ann...
goofballs...
Good grief we have created a bunch of thin skinned sissy morons in this country. Actually our perpetually offended people were preceded by those in Europe right after the opening of the Frankfurt School.

"SUCK IT, ADL!"
Oh! Oh! Once the Jewish lobby gets on your case, you are finished. Ann is toast.
Yadda yadda yadda...
“Anti-semetic” is the same type of smear that “homophobic” is. Both are overused and therefore meaningless. Thanks ADL!
“... religious theology ...”

When the various Speech Police outfits spends 1/16th as much angst and energy over the gutter level retoric that flows out of the Left EVERY day, I will take their complaints directed at Conservative seriously.
2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
The ADL and the majority of Jews in the US and Europe have strayed from their core values and base and are now in the folds of the very ideology that almost eliminated them in Europe, National Socialism.
I read the original transpcript and the headline is wrong.
Ann is a perfected Jew, so how can they go after one of their own?
LOL. The ADL doesn’t view it that way.
This is funny stuff. Does anybody besides the Press listen to her anymore?
In Matthew, Jesus said, "Do not think I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, I have come to fulfill them"
So David Horowitz, Jesus and I think Ann Coulter was right and Danny Deutsch and the ADL are wrong. I'm comfortable with that.
I don't know how people can get through the day without somehow, somewhere, offending them.
Every time some liberal group slams Ann Coulter, she sells more books.
23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Most people, even thouse claiming to be “Christians” don’t know their Bible.
I must’ve missed the ADL’s condemnation of the Iranian nutjob during his most recent US visit in which he ranted about the Zionist controlled global media.
Media Matters created this non-event story. Just another hit piece. Michael “Savage” was only too willing to do their bidding and call her a neo-nazi bigot.
Where was the ADL when Amadijihad said that there was no Holocaust and that Israel must be exterminated?

28 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. 29 To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.
Dennis Prager replayed that part of the Coulter interview on his program.
There was NOTHING “anti-Semitic” about Ann’s comments. She found Donny’s button and was amusing herself by pushing it.
It’s not like they can threaten to quit buying her Books.
Too bad they aren’t as outraged when a Schoolbus is bombed in Israel??

I don't "like" the idea of Christians just abandoning Christ as God and converting to Judaism or Islam. Seems to me once you believe in Christ's divinity, you don't just "switch". Sammy Davis, Ed McMahon, trends among African Americans come to mind.
But I don't think Christians get all bent out of shape if someone converts. Seems to me it is their choice.
Thus, “perfect love dispels of fear” means that love that is complete, that has completed its growth toward full faith, does not fear.
All she was saying was what is basic to Christian theology: the Jews were/are the apple of God’s eye, the chosen people, but they needed a savior, not for their secular nation but for the eternal soul of each. This is offered to all, pagans, gentiles, other religions, but it was started with the Jewish people, accepting Jesus as Savior is the completion “perfecting” of their faith.
Savage (Wiener) believes that only by accepting him as Lord can we mere earthlings be perfected.
He’s his own god. Everyone else is a mere myth.
Good stuff.
instead of attacking coulter, the ADL should promote the idea that Jews should learn and practice the Torah so that they would be less likely to fall for other religions.
The irony is Ann Coulter has done as much as anyone to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive via her own words and columns.
I thnk the ADL ‘coffee filters as headgear’ crowd need to lighten up a bit.
I think her remarks were ill-chosen. However, they were in no way anti-Semitic. The ADL should go after real anti-Semites. Of course, they do have to fulfill there other obligation - as a branch of the Democratic party.

Heavens above.
Ann was just stating facts. Many “feelings’ are hurt by having to face the facts.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Yeah, he went off on her yesterday. Called her a "hag" and a "Rocky Horror Picture Show post op sex change case".
But I have to admit, I find her kill every middle eastern leader and convert everyone to Christianity bull tiresome. I used to be a fan, but not everyone is an evangelical Christian, Ann. This is America and people can worship whoever or whatever the hell they want to. You don't get to decide.
Isn't that the very thing that Coulter's against?
Kind of ironic but I guess everybody needs to believe in something; even if it’s a vile belief, destructive of human freedom, dignity, and ultimately life.
How can anyone think that her position of "The only good Jew is a...Christian" is anti-Semitic? </sarcasm>
Which I guess means that any Jew that is not Christian is broken?
I know many Jews of the Conservative Political persuasion, this will not bode well with them. If you do not get the sensitivities amongst the Jewish population against conversion going all the way back to the Crusades, consider my following sentence. In a nut shell it is about letting live and let live, and yes they embrace their Christian and Catholic friends (all denominations for that matter). They just want the same. Spend sometime with them, and ask them about this, then you will get to see this sensitivity up close and personal.
Consider a voting block that is trending Conservative/Republican amongst the young Jewish voters, (something like 50 to 60%) she has not done us any favors with this voting block.
