Theologically, I agree with her. Politically, it was stupid.
What is an “un-observant” Jew?????????
That's an exaggeration of what she said.
For the record, I stopped paying attention to Ann a long time ago. She makes too many outrageous statements that really are not helpful to the conservative cause.
Coulter appears to be a juvenile ditz who has difficulty coming up with substance and reverts to adolescent retorts (such as If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans with Coulter making a 'modelesque' pose on the cover).
That stated, Coulter isn't all that crazy. This is just another case of pointing out somewhat superficial or partial flaws in subjects which are generally supported.
She was following her faith. It is not aligned with yours. Such is history and such is the future. Don’t take it personally, eh?
Try this out on DU. Dont be ignorant. You remind me of a lib.
Like most of us do if offended, get over it. Disagreement is a human condition.
Christians get it socked to them daily, including here.
No one has a right to not be offended. I am not up for condemnation of too many people other than, perverts, liberal appeasers, and Islamo fascists. Words don’t kill.
Ann uses extreme comments to draw attention. It sells books and keeps her on TV and in the talk show circuit. I’m no fan at all. I prefer to change the channel when I see her on TV.
I wouldn’t think of missionizing you. I’d just appreciate it if you didn’t missionize us.
When you’re in a group that is 70-80% Jewish, do you find it highly offensive when a speaker addresses the crowd as if all the peopole were Jewish?
I’ve been in situations like that, and it wasn’t particularly alarming to me. I chose to enter a venue knowing I was the minority, and I realized what I might hear going in. Big deal.
Ann is a good person and I like her. I don’t find this problematic.
BTW, if you are of a mind to let this sour you on consevatives, you better think long and hard about who your friends are. And I can guarantee you Ann Coulter would line up behind you in seconds if a threat against the Jews were to rear it’s ugly head. I certainly can’t say that for other goups out there.
Think long and hard about who you saw parading around with Yasser Arafat, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. They weren’t conservatives my friend, and it certainly wasn’t Ann Coulter.
Ann said what she did to get a rise out of the person she was speaking to. I had a friend who used to say, "Guns for the Arabs; Sneakers for the Jews," to me. It was a joke. Judge these people by their actions and how they treat us.
Shabbat shalom.

Sardonic is the operative word here.
I’ll stick with Anne, but thanks just the same.....
Is it OK if we pray for you, our beloved elder brethren?
:^)
you post a thread like this here, and then tell us what we can post? Unbelievable.
Republicans are a more secular bunch, as you've practically stated, with adherents of a variety of faiths.
Also, while Christians would overwhelmingly tend to be 'socially' conservative, they may also be fiscally and otherwise politically liberal.
You are vastly over-reacting.
You have done a very good job of explaining why this particular remark by Ann Coulter was unwise and unhelpful.
I take exception to the call to condemn people for such things. You did precisely what was necessary...you explained why you took exception to the remarks and explained in sensible language why.
There is just way too much of the condemning and denouncing going on. It doesn’t bring people around to one’s way of thinking or seeing things.
You mean, you’re asking for this without even posting pictures? Wow, you’re way off.
If Ann Coulter was a muslim, she’d just say Jews need to be killed.
As an agnostic, I can tell you that I am not offended by Ann Coulter’s remark, nor am I offended to be associated with Christians (or Jews), as this is a Judeo-Christian country. I like her quick wit, and while the left looks for another conservative to scapegoat, ridicule and lecture, I won’t be a part of it. Plus, Ann Coulter is smokin’ hot!
