"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity," --Ann Coulter You can rationalize it if you want... "

It was a joke, for crying out loud! Can't you see that? I laughed my head off when I read it. So did others to whom I read it. Are you all so dense that Ann has to resort to "J.K.!" (teenage girl talk for "just kidding").

Someone will always publish Ann, and I will always read her. It seems clear to me that Jonah Goldberg was just insecure around Ann and looking for a pretext to oust her.

I have read columns by Jonah in the past which I enjoyed, but he has been a stale, spent force for months now. Ann always manages to stay fresh. He really couldn't afford to let her stay around.

It's ok to joke about burying them in pig shit, bombing them with pig urine, shooting them with bullets dipped in pig fat, vaporizing them with neutron bombs, incinerating them with napalm (or the modern day, new and improved versions) but it's not ok to joke about converting them to Christianity. Didn't you know this? Didn't you get your FR PC handbook when you registered?

If it was a "joke"...
...It was a dumb joke.

Romans 2: 23 - 24 -- You who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God? For "the Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," just as it is written.

The Ruling Elder of my church has a common prayer he often prays: "Lord, keep me from giving occasion to the Enemies of God to blaspheme". It's a prayer that many Christians -- not exempting myself here, and certainly including Ann Coulter -- would do well to pray themselves.
