What I’d like to know is why so many Jews are liberal/progressive/Democrat when in fact leftist dogma is anti-Jew and anti-Israel.
I wonder how her secular Jewish boyfriend (New York politico Andy Stein) feels about this?
I’m not trying to sell you anything. Are you?

.. and if you don't you'll be a bigot?
To wit, No one here should defend attempts to define conservatism or the Republican Party as limited to believing Christians. Who intimated that?
I know the name of that tune. Name-calling was was top-40 throughout the last four decades of the 1900s. I hope we've moved beyond that. I for one will not condemn Ms Coulter.
Call me a bigot.. please!
The issue is what she meant.. not her. I am tired of seeing the individual being named the "issue."
This is the USA. We have freedom of speech here. I think that Anne has a right to talk. It is just her opinion. This is a free country.
I give your vanity a 4 ... the righteous indignation is there, but it isn’t much to dance to and you didn’t threaten to leave if we didn’t all agree with you. Try a bit harder next time.
I think David Horowitz has it right:
“I have received a surprising number of emails from friends basically asking “What are you going to do about Coulter?” This is a reference to her recent comment that she is hoping for the perfection of the Jews. My response is this: what else would a Christian hope for? That’s the message of the New Testament: Jesus came to fulfil, complete, perfect the Law. If you’re a Christian, that’s what you believe. If you don’t accompany this belief by burning Jews who refuse to become perfected at the stake why would any Jew have a problem? Why do some Jews think that Christians should not really believe what they believe while it’s okay for Jews to really believe they are God’s Chosen People? I don’t get it. Whatever happened to the pluralism of ideas? In any case, what I’m going to do about Coulter is finish her latest exhilarating book, If Democrats Had Any Brains They’d Be Republicans, which happens to be a hall of fame of her so-called “over the top” moments that drive leftists crazy. Right on Ann.”

You live in an overwhelmingly-Christian nation and subscribe to a political philosophy shared by the overwhelming majority of those same Christians.
Deal with it and get over yourself. I’m sick of whiners of all stripes.
Only to someone who is looking for reasons to be offended. The things some Democrats have said about our troops is what should offend you.
I agree and haven't seen any posters making that claim.
I also have the liberty to talk of my faith and not be apologetic for my convictions in my beliefs.
I can acknowledge that others follow Scientology, Rev. Moon, wicca, paganism, devout atheism, etc. but I don't have to look for the "silver lining" in their belief systems.
There are a lot of misguided people in this world (see Scientology). Doesn't even have to be religious or political or dietary.
There are subjective differences of opinion (say in music). I can be tolerant of your difference of taste but I don't have to apologize for my lack of support for your choices, whatever they are.
Ann made a comment that can be heard in the clips' I've heard rebroadcast where she says that it would be good if was an observant Jew. The host says he is. That was an issue that could have been discussed to find some common ground. Not even settle the argument of which is the "true" belief system (or if Christians are "misguided" followers of a false prophet), just to speak about how that faith in something greater than themselves (Ann or the host) does affect their worldview and on that they can agree.
I can’t argue or debate you on the merits of her latest comments because I haven’t heard or read them in their entirety and context.
What I can say is that Ann does not have any history I’m aware of that is remotely anti-semetic. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
Maybe off-topic, but a lot of Jews believe people who support them do so primarily out of Christian views (G-d’s chosen people, etc....). I’d venture to say that Jews and Israel recieve a lot of support because of their admirable attributes (excluding the lunacy of voting for dems) as a people.
We Christian conservatives are very grateful for your participation in the political arena. I don’t think Coulter in any way feels you don’t belong. You are taking everything wrong, being particularly sensitive to this issue. She is talking about eternal matters when she says everyone shuld be Christian. The blood of Christ is the only acceptable sacrifice to atone for your sins. What she isn’t talking about is the Republican Party, other than in a general sense that many of them are Christians. The values represented (or at least used to be represented) by the Republican Party are Judeo-Christian, not uniquely Christian. So don’t worry about it. They are wonderful values, but you still sin and therefore still need a Savior — two different issues.
Just be glad they weren't muslim.
Christopher Hitchens recently made the media circuit pimping his atheist screed against ALL religions (but specifically forcusing on how the world would be better off without Christianity). THAT is intolerant.
Islam’s worldview is that non-muslims are second class citizens under Islamic law. That is discriminatory and Islamic supremacist in ideology. They are tough on muslims who convert away from the faith of Islam because unlike non-muslims, they WERE saved and turned their backs on Mohammed/Allah.
I think you have just identified one of the mysteries of life: Christians are conservatives and Jews are Democrats, and it’s a phenomena for which Ann Coulter cannot be held accountable.
Dude, you are missionizing (is that a word?) us for multi-culturalism - don’t say anything that might offend Eskimos, because there just might be one of them here amongst us, the 1,000 rednecks that gathered at this hall. Eff that, dude! That’s another demand for everyone to eat tasteless white bread, so that a slice of pumpernickel won’t offend a challah eater. Thanks, but no mucho gracias.
