Conservative commentator Ann Coulter.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Conservative commentator and best-selling author Ann Coulter may find herself in the midst of a controversy for comments Monday suggesting America would be better if everyone was Christian.

Asked by CNBC host Donny Deutsch what the U.S. looks like in her dreams, Coulter said it would look like the Republican National Convention in 2004

"People were happy,” she said, according to a transcript provided to CNN by CNBC. “They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America." (Video: Watch Coulter's comments on CNBC)

When Deutsch responded, "It would be better if we were all Christian?" Coulter said "Yeah."

Deutsch, himself Jewish, continued to press Coulter on her remarks, asking, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians then?"

"Yeah," Coulter responded, adding "Well, it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track."

"You can't possibly believe that," Deutsch responded. “You can’t possibly. You’re too educated.”

"Do you know what Christianity is?" Coulter replied. "See, we believe your religion, but you have to obey. We have the fast track program."

Later in the interview Deutsch asked Coulter if she doesn't want any Jews in the world, Coulter responded, "No, we think — we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say."

"Wow, you didn't really say that, did you," Deutsch said.

"Yeah, no,” Coulter replied. “That’s 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 said he was personally offended.

"No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be," she said. "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 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 continued to call Coulter's comments anti-semetic.

"No, no, — I don't want you being offended by this," she responded. "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, [the late Rev. 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."

Ann coulter is a menace to society, she will say anything to get money or attention.Lets stop giving her so much attention and just maybe she'll go away kind of like a bad dream.

Mo   January 6th, 2008 9:24 am ET

It is absolutely incredible how ignorant people are, in getting upset over this.

Christianity is simply the continuation - the completion - of Judaism. (Now, Jews choose to not accept this, to not accept Christ as the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies made.) But that's all she meant. She's using 'perfection' in the biblical sense of 'completion'.

It's one to not know this. It's not something most people would know. But when it is explained to you and you're still upset over it? That's called willful ignorance. That is called stupidity.

Lucky Lady, Newnan, GA   November 28th, 2007 4:11 pm ET

As I have stated in the past "The truth is what you believe it to be." That is why there are so many different religions. My thought the world would be better off if there were no religion. It is a given that more people have been murdered because of all kinds of religion, incuding Christianity (remember the inquisition) and things that were priceless destroyed. She is right, it would be easier if we all believed one thing but, we do not and we never will.

ann cullter When are they going to get this nut case off the air? If any other person in America had spoke like her they would be off.

To Mara of Anchorage:

It's drivel, with an e. Which just about sums up the value of your post.

Mara, Anchorage AK   October 19th, 2007 12:30 am ET

The commentary here has got to be the most idiotic collection of drival I've ever read in my life. Whoever said liberalism is a mental disorder sure got it right!

Shion   October 17th, 2007 7:24 pm ET

All I can say is any religion trying to convince or get people to convert is just a religion full of people with doubts about there own faith.

If you feel your religion is strong then there's no need to "spresd the word of God"
What eve happen to you're "faith"

CN-has bee-N, Atlanta, GA   October 17th, 2007 10:30 am ET

What smells like boogers?

Oh, it's the CNN COMMENT POLICY.

How about deleting the death threat someone left on here big boy?

Steve DiBattiste, Allenstown NH   October 16th, 2007 7:44 pm ET

The "way" Coulter stated her ideas was shocking. Specifically the use of the word "perfected." But her religious views fit "perfectly" within the realm of Pauline Christianity. Remember what Christ says in the Book of John, "I am the way, the truth, the light. No one enters the Kingdom of Heaven, except through me." Coulter loves to bust out her ideas in controversial manners, but when you get to the bottom line she is a "perfected" Christian, as well as a "perfected" conservative. Her vision of heaven being NYC during the GOP convention though is perfectly hellish.

Kevin, LA CA   October 16th, 2007 12:37 pm ET

This is just the first shot, to sever the cord of ties that have bound the Neo-cons and the Conservatives for the last 10 years. The shotgun wedding is over..kaput..This should be fun…

David Siegel, Schwenksville, PA   October 15th, 2007 7:59 pm ET

Why is it that Thomas Jefferson is still more enlightened on religion than many of our most vocal political leaders and commentators today?

“On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarreling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind.”
Thomas Jefferson quote

“It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.”
Thomas Jefferson quote

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law”
Thomas Jefferson quotes

“A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will lose both, and deserve neither”
Thomas Jefferson quotes

John Baker, San Diego, California.   October 15th, 2007 7:47 pm ET

I can not believe this woman professes to be a Christian, what a shame for my religion. Jesus taught us not to judge others, however Ann Coulter makes it awfully hard not to. I will try not to judge her other than to say she is an out of control babbling idiot.

John, Long Beach, CA   October 15th, 2007 5:32 pm ET

Hmmm, after reading Ann's statements, it appears that she and those who agree with her, want: A - to have me discard my central beliefs (i.e. that which makes me Jewish and that which gives me my sense of identity). B - To convince me that I'm less than or deficiant in some way, and encourage me to abandon my the heritage I've inherited and that I hold most dear. C - That these emissaries claim to know better than all than the collective wisdom of almost three thousand years of practise and study have gleaned. That must be why Ann "yeah" to the questioned if we should just throw Judaism away. What's even funnier is those who cannot see the Jew-hatred in this, but seem to believe it's really Christian Love.

dras alliance, ohio   October 15th, 2007 4:28 pm ET

What is a Christan anyway. I've been a Protestant all my life and I swear I've never came across anyone in my church that hated as much as that young lady hates. Is there anyone that is half human that agrees with her other then those Clan like people who buy into her hate.

M. Deixler, Alameda, CA   October 15th, 2007 4:24 pm ET

Ann Coulter’s remarks are offensive and anti Semitic in nature. It makes little difference whether she actually believes them or spouts them for attention; they engender strong emotional responses because they are offensive. She should, and MUST be roundly condemned for uttering them, rather then excused as just “getting attention”. That she did say them is offense enough.

Aaron, Lynnwood, WA   October 15th, 2007 10:18 am ET

I don't agree with her opinion, but I don't see why people are calling to have her fired from her show. She's entitled to her opinion on religion. And yes, the overall goal of christians is to convert everyone to christianity. there's nothing wrong with saying that. Have we seriously entered this rediculous of an age where you have to accept everyone's beliefs as correct? That's rediculous.

Grover Fairfield, Ohio   October 15th, 2007 9:30 am ET

This woman is about 1900 pounds short of a ton, when it comes to intelligence and tact.

Doug - Jacksonville   October 15th, 2007 8:44 am ET

What do you mean "We"?

Ann Coulter is the biggest embarrassment to Christianity since Judas Iscariot.

What I fail to understand is why she hasn't been shut down by her media bosses in the same way Don Imus was.

Etaoin Shrdlu, Tolleson, AZ   October 15th, 2007 6:51 am ET

Posted By L. M. Gray, Austin, Texas : October 12, 2007 2:34 pm

"I hear no Jewish voices raised in support of the recognition of that holocaust [speaking of the Armenian genocide]"

Well, Mr. Gray must not have been trying very hard. A quick Internet search found the following article on Yahoo News, Politics drive US Armenia resolution, which clearly states:

"One of the faces of the Democratic effort is Democratic Congressman Tom Lantos, chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committe and a Holocaust survivor known for infusing his politics with a strong moral tone.

The committee this week passed the bill to the full House floor after Lantos had called a vote of "conscience" and argued the United States had a moral duty to describe the killings as "genocide" despite the consequences."

It is well known that Chairman Lantos is a Jew, and a survivor of the Holocaust. If Mr. Gray wants the names of other Jews who support the resolution and condemn the Armenian genocide, he can find them for himself!

Or, he can read The Forty Days of Musa Dagh a novel about that genocide written by Franz Werfel - another Jew.

Before we all get too excited about comments that are made by various people such as Ann, let's be reminded that the term "to offend", as used in the New Testament literally means "to cause ti sin". While some of these comments may be distasteful to some of us, I hardly believe that they cause us to commit sins.This is mearly another missuse of scriptual terms to suit our own positions.

Wow, that's amazingly stupid.

"Offend" comes from a middle english, french and ultimately Latin. It means to strike or displease. I hasn't got anything to do with the bible.

If the biblical translators translated some Greek or Hebrew word into "offend" it has nothing to do with anything.

Get a life. And maybe a brain.

Mark C, Asheville NC   October 15th, 2007 1:22 am ET

Why does anyone care anymore what this dumb skank has to say?

ALana LaCombe, Memphis TN   October 14th, 2007 11:30 pm ET

I saw this segment. She's blind to her own anti-semiticism … it is so ingrained that she can't even see the problem with her way of thinking.

Oh, wait - that's right … she has a new book hitting the shelves.

Jeff, Tampa, FL   October 14th, 2007 11:12 pm ET

My remarks have little to do with Ann and more to do with the opportunity to encourage people to think, study and choose what you want? Considering that there might be an eternity, would it hurt you to take some time out of your vapor of an existence on earth and find out for yourself if Christ is the Savoir he claims to be? Thank God you live in America where you can make up your own mind.

Greg, Barrington, IL   October 14th, 2007 8:16 pm ET

Dear CNN: Wow! 2800 comments posted to this article.. This woman is so consistantly outragous I would like to believe she is just doing it for the attention. However, the actual truth is she is just saying publicly what most conservatives have learned to keep to themselves. I think rather than wanting Jews to be "perfected" what she really wants is for them to be "selected". When will this conservative plague of ignorence end?

chris, paris   October 14th, 2007 2:16 pm ET

Why does everybody seem to care what Ann Coulter has to say? Honestly, you ALLOW her to get under your skin. The best way to "defeat" a shock jock personality is to simply ignore him/her. Coulter and Imus are laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of your sensitive feelings.

Kevin Spartanburg, SC   October 14th, 2007 8:33 am ET

The reason people like her make these kind of comments is to get her face in the news. Her, and all of her right wing kind are on the way out and they know it. I believe that the Democratic take over of the Senate was as much about the majority of us getting tired of a Christian minority trying to tell us how to lead our lives as anything.

Keith, Ann Arbor, MI   October 14th, 2007 12:55 am ET

Actual Ann Coulter quotes:
"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"
"I think [women] should be armed but should not [be allowed to] vote."
“Don't pray. Learn to use guns."
"I have to say I'm all for public flogging.”
"My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism."
I actually like Ann Coulter because she says what Bush most republicans wish they could say and not cause public outcry. You want to know what it really means to be a republican. Look to Ann Coulter. Like other republicans, her views are messed up, but at least she says them out loud.

Jeff, Tampa, FL   October 13th, 2007 11:54 pm ET

How many people writing on this blog have actually studied the Bible? How many have actually considered the prophecies of the Law and the Prophets? In short, all these prophecies point to the Jesus Christ of the New Testament. Amazing, all these individual books(of the Old Testement) by many different authors at different times in different places in History point to Jesus Christ. Don't take my word for it, Study it yourself. Most people here seem to just be offended because someone is giving her opinion when asked by the host. Again, if you think she is crazy pick up the Torah and the rest of the Bible and study it yourself. This is America, you can believe what you choose. Many things Jesus said was offensive to people even though it was and still is the truth. Truth Hurts sometimes, but it can save you too if you accept it. If you want to say Ann is insensitive fine and this may be stuff she has just been told, but the fact of the matter is The Jewish Faith is foundational for the Christian Faith, that's the way God planned it!

The Greek scriptures were written in, duh, koine Greek. The English word 'offend' does not appear therein. The word "offend" may be used with the definition given above in the particular translation Lynn Gregory consulted, but there are countless translations of the Bible in just about every possible language including Klingon, many in English alone. In the various English translations, 'offend' may be used in any of its senses, or it may not appear at all. I suspect that Lynn Gregory was citing the King James ("If thine eye offend thee…") which is a monument of English literature, but which it is pointless to subject to close reading for doctrinal purposes. If you want to know what the biblical texts really say, you must learn the biblical languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek) and consider the various issues pertaining to textual transmission. Nit-picking over this word or that in the King James is beyond ridiculous.

The language of the King James is magnificent (thanks mostly to William Tyndale), but it is 400 years old and much of it is archaic/obsolete. Nor is the KJV all that accurate as a translation. For beauty the King James can't be beat; for influence on later Anglophone literature, it's number one; as an English study Bible, it has been surpassed by other translations.

I hope all you self-rightious commentators who are so offended by what right-winger/neo-con Anne Coulter said get as offended by all the bigoted hatered she has spewed in the past against Hispanic Immigrants. Lets join forces and get her off the airwaves and send her into obsurity where she belongs.

The biggest mistake anyone can make is pay any attention to Ann Coulter.

A Miller, Belleville Illinois   October 13th, 2007 6:07 pm ET

Donny D, you sort of led Ms Coulter down that path where she'd be able to spew her
brand of crap.
I wish the media wouldn't acknowledge her at all, so she could dissappear. Never argue with an idiot, you both look like after a while. -A Miller

David, Los Angeles, CA   October 13th, 2007 4:17 pm ET

Why is everyone so surprised at Ann Coulter's latest low-class but high publicity bluster? The woman long ago abandoned any principles in favor of celebrity. A bigot is a bigot is a bigot- regardless of gender or how "Hot" she she may be.

m T WI   October 13th, 2007 3:55 pm ET

She is just and right wing freak.

Al Mighty   October 13th, 2007 3:23 pm ET

Hey Ann,

Following your logic, once can say that Christians are simply "misguided" Jews who have fallen off the fast track.

Or that all religious people are simply "imperfect" atheists.

Or that if you were "perfected", you might almost be human.

Peter, Cincinatti, Ohio   October 13th, 2007 3:13 pm ET

Education, or the pretense of such, is no guarantee that someone won't be an idiot.
Anne Coulter is proof of this.
Anyone who would say something this stupid should never be allowed on TV, unless it's a comedy show of course…

D Gamblin   October 13th, 2007 2:53 pm ET

oh forgot!!!!! Hopefully she will stay in the spotlight by making outrageous comments like this one!!!! You know the GOP (Grand Old Perverts) just wish she will go away! People like the likes of Larry Craig, Ann Coulter, Mark Foley, David Vitter, Duke Cunningham, Alberto Gonzales, Karl Rove, Bill O'Reilly, and Rush Limbaugh, are prime examples of what is wrong with the Republican Party. What happened to Republicans like Barry Goldwater, Dwight D Eisenhower, and Abraham Lincoln? Can the Republican Party go any lower than they are right now?????

D Gamblin   October 13th, 2007 2:39 pm ET

AMAZING, ANN COULTER has to be one of the biggest IDIOTS to have walked the face of the EARTH. She is definitely not a HYPOCRIT, but she is definitely a RACIST/BIGOT when it comes to RELIGION. And she is definitley another BAD EXAMPLE of what the REPUBLICAN PARTY stands for. Is she related to GEORGE BUSH????????

Timothy Theis, St. Louis MO   October 13th, 2007 12:46 pm ET

Wow, I LOVE this woman! She so graciously (and seemingly ignorantly) grabs a reeeally big shovel and just scoops as much dung-filled dookie onto the somehow (amazingly) deepening grave of the GOP's slowly-suffocating girl, Hope…I almost sense that she's secretly wet with hopes for the evangelical Right Wing to draft her for Prez…but alas deep-down, most are not evil people who support her divisionary, near-delusionary rhetoric. Is she sleeping with Cheney? C'mon, Tucker, break the story, we hold our collective wine 'n host-scented Christian breaths…meanwhile, back at the hill called Calvary, a liberal named "Jesus" wishes he'd be able to look forward to a roll-over in his grave.

Mick McGuire Canmore Alberta   October 13th, 2007 11:52 am ET

As Bugs Bunny say, what a maroon! She believes the RN convention was the pivotal perfect moment of history - what a clown. The west was neck deep in the dual disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the U.S. was on it's way to fiscal suicide. 1000 years from now, when people asked when America started to lose its role as leader of the World, they will point to the last 7 years. it makes me sad.
As for Coulter's crazy comments, the far right, like the far left, is not known for its wisdom. Hitler tried to perfect the Jews (somewhere between medium well and well done). Coulter is farther along the line between merely Christian and conservative and antisemitic than i thought.
As for her babbling and backtracking during the interview, it's strange that you never see Ann and Miss south Carolina at the same time in the same place.

Angela, WPB< FL   October 13th, 2007 11:45 am ET

Doesnt' this belong on Tabloid tv or the like?
Can't really see any relevance to her comments except the sensational value it brings her and her books. This in not a political story - nobody agrees with her.
Get back to politics CNN!!

KD, Dallas, TX   October 13th, 2007 10:56 am ET

Ann Coulter does not represent Christians. The Christianity I was raised by would never say the cruel things that she does. They would not intentionally hurt the widows of the 911 tragedy just to sell a book to profit from. They wouldn't judge others. I am proud of my Christian beliefs. Ann Coulters are extremist to the nth degree. She mirrors the Islamic extremist view of supreme beings that all should be the same.

I have such a difficult time understanding why anyone would look up to her. To hear that the Republicans had her as a speaker really makes me question what they stand for. I don't see any difference between Ann Coulter, Adolph Hitler and Osama Bin Ladin…they all insight hatred towards differences.

sharon, Jacksonville, Fl   October 13th, 2007 10:53 am ET

She is a total and complete freak show! Let her talk, the more damage she does to the uber-conservative Republican party the better.

from "Deadheads Are What Liberals Claim to Be But Aren't":
An Interview with Ann Coulter. Jambands.com 2006-06-23

Taylor Hill: What's your favorite Grateful Dead album?

Ann Coulter: I can't possibly pick one favorite. Nor a favorite concert tape. I have about fifty Dead tapes….

By the way, you did not ask me what my favorite bumper sticker or button is . . . and I know the answers to those questions! Bumper sticker: “Dead For Life”; button: “Jews For Jerry.”

Anyone else think this is weird?

No Name, Los Angeles, CA   October 13th, 2007 4:32 am ET

I honestly feel many of us have missed the major issue with “Ann's controversy”. It does not matter really if Ann's reasons are sound or unsound. It is the fault of the interviewer ("reporter") for interjecting HIS personal biases and insecurities into this interview. Honestly, who really cares if she feels her religion is correct. Do not all of us have opinions? Do we, when expressing our opinions, automatically call someone prejudiced or hateful when our opinion differs from the opinion of someone else? Is it rational to revert to name calling and hurling insults because we disagree with the thoughts of one person’s personal views when asked about them? I did not read anywhere in the interview she hated any particular group. I did not read she wanted to kick anybody out of the country. Religion is, in itself, divisive. However, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and many more have proved the ability to peacefully coexist and yet remain different and distinct. Maybe we should be look more closely at Mr. Donny Deutsch's record and HIS personal motives? Just a thought on tolerance.

Daniel, NY   October 13th, 2007 2:43 am ET

I certainly respect everyone's right to their opinion who has posted on this particular blog. And I bet if Ann copied this blog and made a book out of it and took out all the comments of the people that know she's crazy, she'd have about a page and a half left of the other crazies who support her. Oops, one and a half pages does not make a book. One less sale for you, Ms. Coulter! You are pretty hilarious though, for a nazi. Ha ha ha!

Good move CNN, this non-politician speaks her views simply for cheap PUBLICITY and you play into her hands.

Why is this on the POLITICAL ticker?

A month ago 12 New Jersey DEMOCRATS were nailed in a citywide scandal, no ticker mention.

Again in New Jersey, the Democratic Mayor of A/C takes 2 weeks or so off, shows up and resigns in scandal and again not on the political ticker.

I am actually stunned you have William Jefferson on the ticker as he is you know, a crooked Democrat.

Hey is that Larry Craig?

Julie, Petaluma, Ca   October 12th, 2007 10:56 pm ET

It is time to elimidate this pathetic creature. We should all say no to the village idiot and not give her anymore press. She is such a sad case, maybe she has wet brain. Confabulation is a condition of Alcoholism when you believe your own lies. This is something to be looked at with AC. Would one of Ann's loved ones please see how demented this woman is and find some help for her. She really does not have a very sympathtic following, so I think her only hope is from those in her inner circle.

If she cannot quite her demoms then please someone have the courage to quite her.

cuwickliffe   October 12th, 2007 10:12 pm ET

Can we just stop reporting what she says? She's not newsworthy and is no better than KKK or other extremists.

Robbi, Jacksonville FL   October 12th, 2007 9:49 pm ET

Ok,… Let me get this straight… If I am reading this correctly… She is saying Jews have to follow the rules… but Christians dont. To quote her correctly…."Do you know what Christianity is?" Coulter replied. "See, we believe your religion, but you have to obey. We have the fast track program."… So does that mean Christians do not have to live by the ten commandments….. If that is the case.. maybe that is why the Jails are over crowded in America… because they believe the same way She does… Since they are christians they dont have to follow the rules… Yesh.. … I understand she has the rights to say what she wants… but does she not understand that she also has to suffer the consquense of her actions.. i.e. What passes your lips today.. may burn you tuckus tomorrow.

Terry, El Paso, TX   October 12th, 2007 9:46 pm ET

Many Christians accept the ancient idea that Jesus's message was rejected by the Jews, so God offered his message intead to the Gentiles. The Jews therefore lost their status as God's special chosen race, and the members of the Christian (meaning Catholic) Church assumed that status. This makes the Jews look bad from a Christian perspective. Many of us heard this in Sunday School if we were there.

On the other hand, surveys show that there are a lot of Christians who believe that most anybody can go to Heaven if he or she is a good person and lives a good life, regardless of his or her religion.

Surveys also show that 20% of Christians believe in reincarnation, which gets some mention in the Bible ("Who do the people say that I am?"
They answered and said, "John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again."). Reincarnation, however, is something that 80% of Christians do not believe in.

So, let us not quibble chapter and verse. No two Christians can agree on the meaning of any single verse in the Bible.

Ann Coulter, letting her mouth run ahead of her brain, perhaps, in her need for a sound bite that would get her some attention, suggested that Jews will go to hell unless they become Christians. Well, a lot of Christians believe that and a lot don't.

Many people in every religion believe that all other religions are in error and have no value. Humans have been killing people of different faiths for a long time, but those who believe in Moses (Jews, Christians, Muslims) seem to kill each other more frequently and with more enthusiasm than, say, Wiccans or Scientologists.

Those who are just now discovering this, and are in a swoon about it, need to suck it up and get real. It is how we are as a species, apparently.

As for Ann, I think she's cute myself. She has cut out a role for herself as the bad girl of politics. We must forgive her for letting her tongue run away with her every now and then. We all say stupid things.

Simon Peters, Seattle, WA   October 12th, 2007 8:49 pm ET

In any other educated and civililzed country in the world the likes of Ann coulter would be objects of ridicule for a little while and then would be ignored. Only in America can someone make a carrer out by making absurd, bigoted, racist and generally over the top right wing statements. That she is actually embraced by one of the two political parties says more about them than it does her. If only the general American population was not so ignorant that scaring them and pandering to their ignorance and bigotry are the most effective tools available to a politician.

Laugh at Ann. That will make her go away, meanwhile, she is laughing all the way to the bank. I don't beleive even she believes one tenth of what she says.

Renee, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma   October 12th, 2007 7:59 pm ET

Why do you continue to invite her on your shows when you could take any idiot off the street and pay them far less money to give an uneducated opinion about these topics. I personally change the channel when I see her face,and I am sure others do the same, so I don't think she is boosting ratings enough to make it worth Donny's time and energy. I feel sorry for the fact that he had to endure her very presence.

You religious zealots are all freaks!! Your cosmic "Daddy" is no more real than the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, or the stupid Tooth Fairy! If you were born in India, you'd all be saying that Hindu is the only true religion. It's totally arbitrary. It was an authoritarian construct used to manipulate the masses to stop killing each other and start killing everyone else. But similar to wings on an Ostrich, it is like a vestigial organ that has out-lived its purpose as evolution rolled on. It has been more and more corrupted by right-wing lunatics like Mann Coulter to serve their benefit. This world would be a much better place without religion or its mindless lemmings! Atheists unite!

What an absolutely ignorant, arrogant and close-minded comment to make. Unfortunately, Ann's view isn't really uncommon among Christians.

And people wonder why some of us want nothing to do with Christianity.

Heather, Minneapolis MN   October 12th, 2007 6:59 pm ET

As a Christian, I cannot tolerate statements such as these. She clearly has no understanding of Jesus and His teachings. Disgusting.

so she claims that Christians are tolerant, but then wants a world where only Christians exist? what in the world does tolerance mean, then? I think it means to be accepting and respectful of different religions, races, ethnicities, & cultures. honestly, ann coulter is just constantly trying to be more and more out there w/her commentary just to get the attention and money.
ps christianity is a fast track to what exactly? to god? how is it swifter

Tim Laughlin, Cleveland, OH   October 12th, 2007 6:26 pm ET

Wow. How can Ann Coulter be representing pure Christians when she represents everything Christians are against: she has an insatiable greed for money and power, she boasts about being promiscuous and sleeping with random men, and she encourages intolerance toward the sick and the weak: all the people Jesus vowed to protect.

Any Christian who follows the gospell of Ann Coulter will undoubtedly be joining her in Hell.

Steve Wittlake Blaine Washington   October 12th, 2007 6:09 pm ET

Ann Coulter does not know what she is talking about and from what I have read on this website neither do most other people who profess to be either Christians or Jews. Jehovah or Jesus Christ and Elohim or God stopped communicating with the Jewish religion
around 500 BC which is when the Old Testement ended and Jesus Christ or Jehovah and Elohim or God stopped communicating with what was left of the Church Jesus Christ or Jehovah established aroud 100 AD or before. See Acts 3 19,20,and 21 where God is saying in the days of the refreshing he will send Jesus Christ again to preach onto you. Earlier in Issiah God or Jehovah says in the days of the refreshing few people will listen.
Jesus Christ came to the Jews as promised in the Old Testement to update or and give them more than strict laws to obey that they had to follow because of the stiffneckness of the Isreali people and they would not listen. He was trying to give them the same religion
he gave the early Christians before he gave it to them to follow.
The people who call themselves Christians today bear no resemblence to the earlier Chistians of the New Testement and the Jewish people did not recognize their ownj God Jehovah when He came to then as Jesus Christ.
The only difference between the religion that God and Jehovah gave Adam
down to the Jewish people and the early Christians is the degree of knowledge he gave him to practice the religion which He thought they could handle. The so called Christians who believe that all they have to do to get into Heaven is believe in Jesus Christ are in for a rude awakening.

R. Boles Thaxton, MS   October 12th, 2007 5:40 pm ET

I loved her comments. That's just another reason I like her so much.Once again, the liberals want everyone to be tolerant but them! What we need to realize is just as the bible states: we are not wrestling against each other, but against spirits and principalites. There is a spiritual war going on in this world and until we realize that, we always be at each other's throats. As for the Jews, they denied Jesus when He was on this earth and they will continue to deny Him, until the day He returns.Any Jews that follow and believe upon Jesus, are no longer Jews-they are Christians-which means followers of Christ. She hit the nail right on the head. Jesus was our perfect example, and we are to be like Him. We cannot do this in our power, but, that's why God gives us the precious gift of His Holy Spirit. In His power we can be made perfect. God's word says, we must "be Ye holy for I am holy", and we must "live free and seperated from sin". If it was not possible for us to do that, He never would've said it. Christ came so that we may do this. Not so we can say "yes Jesus died for my sins, so I am going to continue to sin". The truth is just the truth. And, God's word is the truth. If you choose not to believe it, it does not make it an untruth. This is why He gives us freewill.

bill, waverly, ohio   October 12th, 2007 5:25 pm ET

Sadly, many people on the right, such as Ann, think they are Christians. Being of the faith does not mean you are faithful to the faith, and she is definitely not. God help her. This is why so many people hate Americans, because of idiots like her claiming to be Christians when all they do is spew hate.

Dan, Mountain View CA   October 12th, 2007 5:23 pm ET

Don't worry Ms. Coulter, there are hundreds of millions pure Christians in America that will support you. America will be remain as the greatest nation in the world only if there are more Christians than all combined non-Christians (including atheist, gay, lesbians, muslim, etc). I know gay and lesbians are not religion, but even though they might be "Christians" but they are not really Christians. Only those who are really following Jesus can be called Christians.

Most of the liberals just want to get their rights in America without ever thinking about their obligation (if they say that they also pay taxes, that's because they are forced to do so not because of willingness to pay). Much further they will never think about sacrifice, all in their mind are only their rights, period.

Something becomes big only if there is sacrifice.

David, Gilbert Arizona   October 12th, 2007 5:23 pm ET

Posted By Lakinsey Charlotte, NC: "…WHY TREAT MRS. COULTER LIKE THIS? SHE IS SO RIGHT AND WE ALL KNOW THIS…"

While I respect your convictions Lakinsey I question your conclusions. I do not agree that Ann Coulter is right. I don't care if Ann Coulter is a Christian. She is still a poor spokesperson for any group, whether it be politics, gender, or special interest. There is very little Ann Coulter has to offer in a civilized discussion on anything, especially religion.

Ann cannot discuss an issue without resorting to name calling and insults. A perfect example of this is when Ann referred to John Edwards as a derogatory reference for gay people. She cannot bring herself to discuss an issue with intelegence. She invariably falls back to the lowest denominator of her persona. Her idea of debate is name calling and insults.

Ann Coulter is not the type of person I would use as an indicator of my religion, my politics, or my nationality.

Patrick, Dublin Ireland   October 12th, 2007 5:22 pm ET

Thank God Ann Coulter is not a Christian, can one imagine anyone who holds her views being associated with Christianity. She should read about the teachings of Jesus Christ and the true teachings of all the other religions. God willing she may see the error of her ways and find peace, who knows she may end up a decent person. God bless you Ann Coulter and keep you free from sin.

Leo, Boston, MA   October 12th, 2007 5:21 pm ET

If there were an iconic way of explaining why the left thinks the right is completely nuts Ann Coulter would be it. As a true conservative I am ashamed and insulted that she is referred to as a member of the same group of idealogues as me. She's no conservative. She's an intolerant harpie.

"chaim nutzman"   October 12th, 2007 5:13 pm ET

what's the problem here. i am a secular but proud jew, and i'm no more offended by what she said than by christianity itself. at the core, most christian denominations say that a jew can find salvation either by following all the 613 mitvot of torah or by taking the "fast-track" of accepting JC as saviour. she's just espousing real christianity. which is also to recognize that the gospels are the source of almost all jew-hatred that has existed for the last 2,000 years.

Kevin LA , CA.   October 12th, 2007 5:12 pm ET

Coulter is really Hitler & Genghis Khan combined. She wants to convert everbody to her brand of religion. Its the crusades all over again. She hates Jews, Muslims, Catholics and almost everybody else that has a different belief.

AC is 45 years old, and has never married. And as we all know, life has its price, to be paid in sacrifices. What I mean is, is that I would love to see to it that someone courts her and takes her down the wedding aisle to his bed.

In other words, AC is an aging woman who needs to loosen up and get laid.

Ahmed, Jackson, NJ   October 12th, 2007 5:08 pm ET

Why should it be hard to believe Ann is making this up? Christians throughout history have conquered in the name of perfecting other cultures and religions. Why should their own roots be less a victim?

Laura - Tulsa OK   October 12th, 2007 5:05 pm ET

Most religions believe that theirs is the most beneficial and want to spread the word. What's wrong w/ that? Muslim extremists do it by lopping off your head. Ann is saying that Christians do it through love and naturally they think Christianity is better than Judaism. Why is this a news flash?

David Salem , Glendale Arizona   October 12th, 2007 4:49 pm ET

Anne Coulter has just made a major theological error. Scripture makes no distinction between Jews and Christians. As a matter a fact, Christians are called spiritual Jews. The New Testament clearly states that it is only through the the grace of Jesus Christ that all people are saved, jews and Gentiles. As a matter a fact scripture testifies that no man is saved by the law but only through the Grace of Jesus Christ. Anne Coulter's statement is unbiblical and a major compromise of truth, displaying either a gross lack of knowledge of scripture, or a malicious compromise of Christian Values.

Anne Coulter's Comments characterize the lies told by religious rightist seeking political power where there should be none. Christianity is a matter of the heart and goverment cannot effectively legislate its morals and teachings without destroying its integrity and truth.

It has been about 24 hours since this story "broke."

Since Ann Coulter is a conservative commentator, it is only fair to ask the question, "How many Republican presidential candidates have denounced Ann Coulter's statement or distanced themselves from her stance on this issue?"

What does that say about the GOP's values and politics?

Until people get bored/disgusted with the likes of Anne Coulter, Britney, Paris, Lindsey, etc. they will continue to get coverage on national media outlets. Certainly there is a car wreck fascination with these characters and people feel sorry for/superior to them, but the state of the world requires adults to focus on the important issues of the day. Turn off anything that promotes these people and let's raise the quality of life for ourselves, our families and the world. I for one, believe that is worth my limited time and energy.

Jeff, Phoenix, AZ   October 12th, 2007 4:03 pm ET

Luke 12: 41-59 sums it up rather nicely. Not my words. Not Ann Coulter's. Christ's words. Believe it or not.

41 ¶ Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
49 ¶ I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
54 ¶ And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
58 ¶ When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

Kirsten,Atalissa,Iowa   October 12th, 2007 4:01 pm ET

Ann Coulter is not a conservative nor a Christian nor even very bright. She is just a sad case of somebody wanting to be in the limelight and thinks it will put her into the history books. I suspect that if enough research was done, someone might find some interesting facts about her that might shock us. I do not think she is everything she claims to be. As we have seen lately, many claim to be something while being something else. I think she is either a fake or a really ditsy, fake blond that makes other real blonds out to be ignorant and self serving. She also makes Christians look that way too. And I know many Christians whom are not self-righteous nor think they are above every other religions / beliefs. And I do not think she is even practicing what Christ set out do. And that is be tolerant and caring. Read the Bible a little more closely as well as other religious or spiritual documents. I find it interesting that she quotes or misuses things the same way she accuses others of doing. She thinks too highly of herself and I think that she needs to learn humility. We are supposed to learn from our sins not keep repeating them and to try and better ourselves That is why we continue in 'Warring' rather than 'Sharing'. "Create in me a clean heart o God". Think about.

The bulk of the responses by self-professing Christians illustrates the prophetic word of Scripture, "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" It appears that most of those who profess to be Christian have not the slightest clue to the exclusive claims of Jesus as the *only* Savior of man. There is no other way to the thrice-holy God of heaven!

A Perfected Jew

steve Loudon, TN   October 12th, 2007 3:47 pm ET

Her views on Jews, Christians, etc are irrelevant and she merely noted the Old Testament was filled with the God of wrath and punishment and the New Testament one of hope, love and charity….The Old was presented to the Jews, the New for Christians and she is just saying it is an evolutionary process, Jews "perfected" is merely a polically referenced way of noting the fact that Jesus was Jewish and his death created Christianity (a perfect Jew, as it were-Jesus). She is wrong on one thing, Jesus is considered an important prophet to Islam, not JEWS. Read Christopher Hitchens book "God is NOT Great" and you will also realize the greatest horrors commited in the world have been done in the name of "GOD". I was raised a Catholic and soon realized that no one has a claim on heaven, those are all "rules of the churches or religions" and MADE UP MY MEN. People don't understand the caustic nature of Ann Coulter in her irreverant comments on religion. Organized religion is anything but perfect! my own religious belief is that my creator and I have a special unique relationship, he/she "talks" to me, I try to listen, but argue my case too, and ask for clarification of my purpose in life….God has been good to me and revealed to me the selfishness of my behavior and the arrogance of demanding answers. Live a life of doing the best you can, always do the right thing (and we all really do know what is right and wrong), and forgive those who fail in this, including yourself…..and you will perfect your own salvation. God bless all of you, whether you understand her or not. I know how she thinks, kinda like I do.

2731 comments….this is exactly why Ann Coulter says and does what she does…she knows if she says outrageous stuff that no one in the right mind would take seriously, she'ld garner all this attention….of course, this is because she wasn't breast fed as a baby. If her mother breast fed her, she'ld be much better.

Wow! I have never seen a topic on the ticker with this many responses. She really hits a nerve. I hope she gets the same treatment as Imus- she is such a right wing bigot. And a homophobe. Now add anti-semite to that list.

For those of you want to compare now to the crusades or the inquisiton, I would point out that since then we had World War II. In that war approximately 50 million people died… they weren't all of any one faith. The victory showed that we can work together regardless of our religious backgrounds.

What I don't understand is why reputable news media would even provide airtime or print to someone like Coulter - they're just giving the impression that her perverted views may be worth listening to - when they're not.

What a moron…..

It's disgusting that CNN even gave her a forum to speak in the first place. Her past comments have made it clear that she is a disgusting person. Her kind of hatred and venom belongs on Fox News and not anywhere else.

People relax,,Did you same people who have your panties in a bundle get mad when Bill Maur said He wished Cheney got assinated???Chill out, if jewish people arent mad about this why should you hypocrits????? I am jewish and it does not offend me a bit. Everyone should hope that they could bring other people from other religions and convert to them to theirs.

By the way, all of you silly monotheists (Jewish, Christian, Muslim, all the same God) simply haven't remembered yet that you're Buddhists. You'll remember eventually, until then feel free to keep squabbling pointlessly amongst yourselves.

And it always amazes me that ANY human considers themselves to be perfect… especially a shallow, ignorant, heartless twit like the anorexic Ann Coulter.

Ann Coulter and the Evangelical Right have a very different definition of Christianity that I hold or that which I was taught during my religious upbringing. Her conduct and her attitude toward others is and has been anything but Christian. Ms. Coulter and the Evangelical Conservative Right do not speak nor do they represent the attitude of MOST believers, who may not share, but certainly respect the doctrines of other faiths.

THIS WILL BE MY LAST STATEMENT. I CAN'T BELIEVER IT IS SO MANY NON-BELIEVERS IN THIS WORLD. CHRISTIANITY IS THE ONLY RIGHT RELIGION. GOD GIVES US ALL A FEELING WHEN WE ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG BUT WE IGNORE IS CALLINGS. I AM NOT JUDGING BECAUSE I WANT TO BE IN THE LORDS FAVOR. PEOPLE PLEASE READ THE HOLY BIBLE AND BELIEVE. WHY TREAT MRS. COULTER LIKE THIS? SHE IS SO RIGHT AND WE ALL KNOW THIS. SHE WASN'T DISRESPECTING JEWS BECAUSE JESUS WAS A JEW. SHE IS SIMPLY SAYING FOLLOW THE BIBLE AND IT WILL GUIDE YOU TO RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE SHOULD THROW AWAY JUDAISM AND EVERY OTHER RELIGION BECAUSE ALL OF IT IS WRONG. GOD DESTROYED A WHOLE CITY BECAUSE OF PEOPLE PRAISING THE WRONG GOD AND NOT HIM. ANN IS TRYING TO SAVE SOULS. PEOPLE ARE SO BLIND. SHE REALIZED THAT DEUSCH IS PRACTICING THE WRONG RELIGION AND GOD WAS LETTING HIM KNOW THAT IT IS NOT TOO LATE. THE PERSON WHO STATED SHE IS A MENACE TO CIVILIZED SOCIETY, YOU ARE SO WRONG. WHAT CIVILIZED SOCIETY? WE ARE LIVING LIKE SAVAGES KILLING ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE WE MANY OF US ARE CAUGHT UP AND DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE IN THE ONLY THING THAT CAN MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT. PEOPLE ALSO TOOK A STAB AT MEL GIBSON. THE MAN DID SIN BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE OPENED EYES. HE SHOWED US WHAT JESUS WENT THROUGH. AS I WATCHED THE MOVIE I READ THE BIBLE. HE WAS SO ACCURATE. I CRIED AS I WATCHED HIS MOVIE TO SEE HOW PEOPLE TREATED SOMEBODY SO PURE AND CLEAN LIKE AN ANIMAL. EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES. GOD IS OUR ULTIMATE JUDGE WITH HIS SON JESUS BY HIS SIDE. SO WHEN YOU JUDGE ANN AND EVEN MEL GIBSON YOU NEED TO STOP. THEY ARE DOING WHAT GOD ASKED THEM TO DO. THEY ARE HIGHLY FAVORD. WHAT DID JESUS SAY? THE WORLD HATED ME FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO HAVE CHILDREN, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GUIDING THEM TO THE ARMS OF OUR LORD. PLEASE DON'T INSTILL IN THEM ALL OF THIS HATRED AND IGNORANCE. GOD SAID SEEK HIS FACE AND YOU SHALL FIND HIM. JESUS SAID THAT HE IS THE WAY I MEAN THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. FOR SOMEONE TO SAY THAT ANN IS CRAZY I REALLY THINK THAT THEY ARE OFF THEIR ROCKER A LITTLE—NO A LOT. I DO APOLOGIZE FOR MY LAST STATEMENT. YOU ARE NOT CRAZY, YOU JUST HAVE NOT SEEKED THE LORD.
