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.

Mark R. Fort Lauderdale FL   October 12th, 2007 3:32 pm ET

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.

Hal Wolverton, Branchburg, NJ   October 12th, 2007 3:32 pm ET

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.

R.Mulligan Stow Ohio   October 12th, 2007 3:32 pm ET

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.

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.

Dan Stackhouse, New York, New York   October 12th, 2007 3:22 pm ET

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.

J. Rasmussen, Marshall, MN   October 12th, 2007 3:18 pm ET

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.

Lakinsey Charlotte, NC   October 12th, 2007 3:18 pm ET

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. READ THE BIBLE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING AND TONIGHT PRAY TO GOD AND JESUS. THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER!

IT BOTHERS ME THAT WHEN WE ALL ARE CALLED UP TO MEET HIM, MANY NON-BELIEVERS WILL WEEP WHEN THEY SEE JESUS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF GOD. STILL GOD SAYS THEY WILL STILL CURSE HIM WHICH IS SO SAD. HELL IS NOTHING FUNNY OR NOTHING TO PLAY AROUND WITH BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE THERE, YOU ARE THERE.

EVERYTHING WILL BE REVEALED WHEN JESUS RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU ANN, THANK YOU.

Sean, Brooklyn NY   October 12th, 2007 3:17 pm ET

Notice how all the conflicts in the world basically revolve around the disagreement of "whose fairytale of the afterlife is bigger and better?" I can't believe that this type of literal, amateur religious braying is what passes for professional discourse in our media.

Anonymous - Elkins Park, PA   October 12th, 2007 3:17 pm ET

Ann Coulter needs to have her brain "perfected". With all the air that is in it this should not be a problem. But then again, why waste time on an idiot.

VERY Proud Jew   October 12th, 2007 3:15 pm ET

Ann, or Poor, Poor Ann… I hate to tell you this… But believe it or Not – Jesus Christ WAS a JEW !! So, with that said, you are ALREADY Worshipping a JEW !!

Christopher, Dewitt, NY   October 12th, 2007 3:13 pm ET

I'm even lesser of a fan when it comes to Ann Coulter, than I am in regards to the Jews, but I have to say… I am on the side of Ms. Deutsch on this one.

Jeff - Jacksonville FL   October 12th, 2007 3:12 pm ET

If Ann Coulter is a Christian, then St. Peter was a Pharisee and Judas was the first pope.

What Christians believe is "Love thy neighbor" and be merciful, charitable and don't judge others. At least, whenever I read the Bible, that's what I see Christ saying.

Ann Coulter is an embarrassment.

Stevey Majors   October 12th, 2007 3:11 pm ET

I would LOVE to see what kind of things Ann says when she's drinking. I also hope that no one else said that in the 2700 comments that have already been posted. Yowza!

Jon, Sacramento ~ Ca   October 12th, 2007 3:05 pm ET

ALMOST 3000 comments!

Wow how the masses are controlled by those they fear.

I ADMIT my statement was wrong (Jewish faith accepting Jesus as a prophet). Correct – Islam accepts him as a prophet. I meant to state many in the Jewish faith saw him as a teacher (Rabbi).

My point was… the Jewish faith does not accept Jesus as the Messiah. Christians do. For Ann to suggest that the "Christian view" is ALL people (including Jewish people) to find salvation – is THROUGH accepting Jesus as their savior.

THAT is the view of the Christian faith. It has been for 2000 years.

But hey – if a conservative person says it.. it MUST be anti-semetic!

Steve, NY. NY.   October 12th, 2007 3:02 pm ET

Anyone who is religous should feel some duty of converting others to their religion. Otherwise, do they really believe?

Posted By Matt, Albany, GA : October 12, 2007 2:36 pm

One common misconception is that all religions are out there to expand their ranks. That is true for Christianity and Islam for instance. However, Judaism does not endorse conversion to Judaism. As a matter of fact it can take upwards of 9 years+ to convert to Judaism. There is that whole thing with Mothers passing on the Jewish race traits. So really, if your mother is not Jewish there is no conversion that will make you Jewish in the eyes of the "real Jews".

One can convert to Christianity and Islam basically on a whim.

Anyone ever ask themselves why this is the case?

I was born Christian/Protestant and now as an adult I choose to a simple moral code that is not tied to any religion. I haven't been to a church in over a decade and I don't intend to go. I do not care to waste my little free time listenning to a bunch of nonsense on my days off.

There are many types of christians and all do not have the same views of the bible. You can't say I'm right and they are wrong. Don't delude yourself in this type of thinking. I am afraid our friend needs to see what the world is truly what it is and nothing more.

Servant of God   October 12th, 2007 2:58 pm ET

To William S,

I seek the glory of the one i belong to (Jesus). It doesn't make the slightest difference to me what you think of me, because i, or we,are not the issue. Our opinions are irrelevant. Jesus created us, he gave us His rules, and reserves the right to do with us what He will. We both have no right to question Him. However, he has given us the ability to sieze hold of eternal life..IF we believe in Him and obey Him. I began like you, an unbeliever. I believed anything but Him. But He changed that because it was His good pleasure to do so. Maybe He will open your eyes in time. He promised He would, if only you'll let go of this world and just believe.

Hey Ann, what is your opinion of the Holocaust? Do you believe it really ever happened? Hmmm, now let me see… I wonder if my Parents made up all those horrific stories about Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Treblinka, etc., and what's more, their liberation from such death camps.

In my opinion, Ann Coulter should be placed in the same league as anti-semites like Mel Gibson, Louis Farakhan, etc. Who's your hero, Ann? Not by any chance Adolf Hitler, or Rudolfh Hess, is it? You are a true blue anti-semite !! Hey Ann, I think you should paint a red swastika on your forehead… It would go great with that dyed blonde hair of yours…

Stephen, Washington, DC   October 12th, 2007 2:52 pm ET

"Why am I not suprised by these comments. They reflect the attitude of many conservatives. We're right, your wrong. End of story."

Wow, I am amazed that someone had the temerity to write the above. First of all, out of over 2,600 comments, I can only find 20 or so that seem to have been penned by conservatives, so it's hardly balanced. Second of all, I don't know about the rest of America, but I am FAR more worried about a relativist, morally neutral future in which there IS no truth and wherein every type of vile and sick behavior has to be tolerated in the name of "diversity," than I am of Christianity being the dominant religion in America. For all of you fulminating over some return to the Crusades, etc. consider that the "isms" of the 20th Century (Fascism, Communism, and Socialism) were responsible for more deaths than all of Christian history put together. And those regimes (Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia and Maoist China) were either irreligious or they simply threatened religious leaders into keeping quiet. That is far more chilling than some silly comment by Ann Coulter.

So Ann has reduced my faith (Christianity) to a "get out of jail free" card. I'm not so sure Jesus is amused, Ms. Coulter, and I think you're going to have a lot of truly nasty behavior to explain when it's your turn to knock on the Pearly Gates.

Chris Haynes, Winston-Salem, NC   October 12th, 2007 2:51 pm ET

If one is truly "conservative", he or she would not say such offensive things. This woman was obviously overlooked by most as a child based on her drastic need for attention. And some of you read her writings? I now realize why some people vote the way they do.

Elise, Buffalo, NY   October 12th, 2007 2:50 pm ET

As a Jewish woman living in America I do not feel that I should have to exposed to such intolerance. Coulter's comments are disgraceful and it just adds to the many reasons she has given us to find her a disgrace and an embarassment to the this country.

mark lamar , hamilton, NJ   October 12th, 2007 2:50 pm ET

Ann's got genuine problems, as she has shown us before. My guess is that she has either a drug or alcohol dependency, or another psychological disorder that lands her into this controversial place, over and over, the way Rush Limbaugh does. She's mean, but also very unhappy with herself, hence, the aggression and shooting from the hip all the time. Bullies are never happy folks! Ann, get some help, babe!

Carol, Tyler, Texas   October 12th, 2007 2:49 pm ET

So would that make Muslims perfected 'Christains' since they believe in the New and Old testamant but also believe in the Quran? Or maybe Mormans are perfected Christains since they got the old and new testament and the book of Morman.

WOW. I'm so glad someone has the guts and speak up for Christianity. I agree with all of you. People take someone's comments and twist the meaning until it's so backwards and meaningless. I cannot believe Deutsch was asking her opinion then saying he was offended when it's obvioulsy the plain truth. LOL Don't you all think it's funny that he asked how the world looked in her dreams, then he acted like she was trying to convince people to really change this way? Christianity has been pushed out of America so far that when someone speaks the truth about it, it is taken as a blow. I aplaud her, and all you for supporting it.

Get over it !!

Ann messed up in her communication but I understand where she was going with it…

1) Jesus was a Jew
2) The Jews rejected Jesus
3) The Bible States, "No one can come to the father execept through Him [Jesus]"
4) The Jews rejection of Jesus opened salvation up to the Gentiles — Thank you!
5) Bad choice of words regarding "Perfection". Should have stated "Lost Opportunity"

In the Big Picture, what really matters is that we need LESS Christians and MORE Disciples!

Rob, Phoenix, AZ   October 12th, 2007 2:40 pm ET

Ann Coulter makes perfect sense to an objective listener. Everyone thinks their own religion is the 'true' way, so for her to say anything else would be dishonest or show a lack of faith. She's obvioulsy not saying that people of other religions should be killed or whatever. She's simply stating the obvious: She believes in her religion above all others. As does every other practicer of any religion.

ray barrone   October 12th, 2007 2:37 pm ET

when one of his disciples asked Jesus why he talked in parables and illustrations he answered : because it is not for them to understand but for you,then he explained the illustration. the bible will never be understood by anybody or satin only his true followers. so ann doesnt know anything!!!

John, Raleigh NC   October 12th, 2007 2:36 pm ET

As a "Gentile-believer" (Christian) who understands that my faith was totally born out of Judaism, it saddens me to read the not so veiled comments from the Christian and Jewish readers. My wife is Jewish, and 6 years ago came to believe that Yeshua was the Messiah. We now worship in a Hebrew-Christian community (not Jew for Jesus). They are all followers of Jesus, have Torah readings, celebrate the High Holidays, etc. It is not about Jew, Gentile, but sin. Jesus, a Jewish Rabbi, the spoken of in Isaiah 53 (and many other parts of the Tanakh) came a the savior for ALL. Ann's choice of words were unfortunate. The choice of words that many have chosen to write are unfortunate. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, through His Sonm WILL have the last word. I pray for Ann, and everyone else who has been hurt by her comments.

Matt, Albany, GA   October 12th, 2007 2:36 pm ET

Anyone who is religous should feel some duty of converting others to their religion. Otherwise, do they really believe?

It's funny how VEHEMETLY some people reacted to this. Is it because she's a European-American Christian?

Nathan Columbus Ohio   October 12th, 2007 2:35 pm ET

To all Christians: By Ann saying everyone should be Christian and you agree with her, you are pushing the world back to the Inquisition. Thousands of people were tortured because they didn't believe in the Christian God. You might be forcing us all the way back to the Crusades, when Christians of Europe went into the Middle East to kill anyone that wasn't Christian. Do you remember a study that was done on racism years ago? In this filmed experiment, someone in power (in this case a school teacher) said to the class something like "Brown haired people are bad. The are evil and stupid." At the next recess, the brown haired kids were picked on mercilessly, even beat up. The next day, the teacher said someother group was bad (I think it was blue eyed people), and THEY were picked on and beat up. The point I'm trying to make is this: if someone in power says a particular group (religion or race) is bad…and enough people believe it….fighting will follow shortly.
I'm all for religion, don't get me wrong. But people as a whole must be able to pick what religion "feels right" to them. If they are forced into something, people WILL rebel. Kinda like being forced to wear shoes that are too tight….for years. Don't tell me that your religion is THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, because religion is just a set of BELIEFS. You believe it is the truth, but no one has absolute proof that what you believe is true. And don't tell me your proof is that the bible was written by God….because even the old testament was written decades (if not centuries) after Christ….by mere humans. Maybe they thought they were getting a phone call from God…who knows now. Don't force your truth on me, and I won't force my foot up your….whatever body part is handy.

Leo, LA,CA   October 12th, 2007 2:34 pm ET

For some of you saying that non-christians should be as tolerant of christians as any other religion. The reason a lot of people are not tolerant of religion is because a lot, not just christian (but mostly), like to shove their religion in their face. They also like to come to your houses and try to "save" us. Well the fact is they should keep their belief to themselves on that note, because it's invasion of privacy. It's my home, maybe I don't want to hear your beliefs in my own home. So yes a lot of people have become intolerant. But can you really wonder why? If I wanted to be saved, I'd go to church. If I wanted to have your beliefs I'd go to your church. But NoONE and I do mean NOONE should try to force their religion on people like a lot of people try to do. So it's not that I really care. Honestly I think everyone has the right to their own religions. But I do think they shouldn't try to force others to it.

L. M. Gray, Austin, Texas   October 12th, 2007 2:34 pm ET

The amazing thing about this matter, is it happened on a day when Turkey blasts the US for the Resolution just out of Committee recognizing the genocide by Muslims in Turkey of at least 1.5 million Christian Armenians in 1915 and 1916. I hear no Jewish voices raised in support of the recognition of that holocaust, nor do I hear any Muslim voices raised in recognition of that horrible act or their role in the killing of so many Armenians. Even our Ambassador to Turkey at that time warned our President what was happening, and the response – nothing! So 1.5 million Christians have no meaning to the Jews and the Muslims of this Country or the rest of the world? Praise whomever!

She had better watch herself when offending people, there are allot of people out there that wil not tolerate the hate she is spewing.

Should we expect anything but lies and trash from her, after all she is a HUGE BUSH FAN….

Leslie Griffith Saguache Colorado   October 12th, 2007 2:31 pm ET

Ray. Orange County, CA   October 12th, 2007 2:31 pm ET

Frankly, attempting to claim that her utterly moronic statments are nothing other than an attention-grabbing ploy ignores the bigger picture. It strains credulity that anyone would actually spew this garbage on national television if the person didn't actually mean what he or she was saying. Is it worth the obvious embarassment it brings to the Republican Party? Does it make the far Right look better to moderates? Let's face it. She's espousing what she actually believes, and there's no other subterfuge involved. She's a bigot who inxexplicably keeps being granted airtime, and it's high-time she was silenced.

LOUWEEZY, Chicago   October 12th, 2007 2:30 pm ET

Because honestly, she's like the Nazi's that always like to rally in Skokie(IL), no one takes them seriously, because they are a joke, & they only do it because they know it will pi*s people off. Maybe if we ignore them both,they'll just go away.

Dear "Servant of God".

Jesus is not God. So there.

You are free to say and believe what you want, but I am free to believe you are a nut case for believing in magical things that don't exist. Would you like it if people who think like I do were on TV day and night talking about what a nut case you are for believing what you do? I don't think you would. If someone objects to a nativity scene in a public place you probably flip out. I suggest you prepare for a backlash. We non-Christians are sick of you and your self-righteous nonsense. Keep it to yourself.

Derek, albuquerque new mexico   October 12th, 2007 2:25 pm ET

What another thick skulled republican. Pretty disgusting if you ask me.

Catherine Madden,Ft. Myers,Florida   October 12th, 2007 2:24 pm ET

The proper expression is "Completed Jews", not perfected. Many who have converted to Christianity have said there are readings in the Old Testament which have led them to the decision to believe that Jesus is indeed the promised Messiah. As a Catholic, I'm sorry Ms. Coulter made such a brash statement. My Jewish son-in-law frequently tells me I'm a Jew.
As for Jerry Falwell, in the early 70's he made the statement that "God doesn't hear the prayers of the Jews." What total nonsense for anyone who has really studied our base.

LET COULTER THINK ABOUT THIS–GENESIS SAYS THE CREATOR WAS MOTHERLESS, ALL MAJOR FAITHS ACCEPT HIS MOTHERLESSNESS. BUT HE HAD A BELLYBUTTON HE DUPLICATED INTHE BELLIES OF HIS FELLOW MAMMALS, ADAM AND EVE, ALSO MOTHERLESS. BELLYBUTTONS ARE SUPPOSED TO PROVE ALL PEOPLE "BORN TO ADAM" ARE "CHILDREN OF GOD," SO THEY INHERIT THE "SIN" OF MATING AND "BECOMING LIKE GOD," CAPABLE OF CREATING LIFE. THE IMPOSSIBLE UMBILICUS SHOWS THE BIOLOGICAL IGNORANCE OF AUTHORS OF GENESIS

Jason, Toronto, Ontario   October 12th, 2007 2:23 pm ET

At the end of Ann Coluter's life, I wonder if there will be anyone left who she hasn't enraged. Her eternal Christian sprit sure is going to be in for a shocker when no one shows up to her funeral. But then, if ever there were an example that things like "eternal Christian spirit" are a load of hypocritical, money-making garbage, it would come in the form of Ann Coulter's dead, universally reviled body lying completely lifeless in a lavish coffin, at a funeral that no one would ever go to.

Jerry, Omaha Nebraska   October 12th, 2007 2:23 pm ET

Finding this thread of comments has given me relief of some of the worry I've been experiencing regarding the simple safety of our country. There are so many of you who agree with me that it actually warms my tree-hugging heart. She is the epitome of what the Republican party has become; arrogant, elitist, thieving, bullying, lying, bigoted self-serving, scum.

Timotheus Black: Louisville, Kentucky   October 12th, 2007 2:22 pm ET

Like the 2004 Convention? I guess there would be very, very, very, few African Americans then. She is sad, its a wonder that anyone takes her seriously, but this is what happends when a Republican is in the white house. It becomes fashionable to be racist; what a waste of opportunity and power, sad, just real sad.

MC for Obama   October 12th, 2007 2:22 pm ET

Coulter haters:

We need to email her advertisers on her website about her inflamatory remarks. See the link below

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/3/4/105236/4618

ELWOODS Windsor CT   October 12th, 2007 2:21 pm ET

Ann Coulter distorts Christianity and has no clue about Judaism, Jews have been persecuted for centuries, her comments are so inflammatory and rude, in the same breath she talks about tolerance then stating this country would be better off if run by Christians, Hitler had the same mind set. As a Christian I would like to apologize for her insensitive comments, if Ann would read her bible she would understand that Jews were the first followers of Christ, and also wrote the New Testament (Luke is the only non Jewish writer) Jesus was a fulfillment of the Old Testament, salvation as stated by Paul (A Jew) in the New Testament is first for the Jews then for the Gentiles, your comments are offensive to Jews and Christians alike, and I would ask that you educate yourself on Judaism and Christianity, show some of that tolerance you are talking about.

Hal Wolverton, Branchburg, NJ   October 12th, 2007 2:21 pm ET

Coulter was there to present her view. Donny was supposed to be there to explore it. She did. He didn't. Is he really offended that at least some Christians feel their religion is the "right way" ? Doesn't he feel that his own religion is the "right way" ?

I didn't hear her say anything about forcing anybody to do anything. She started out talking about tolerance. Donny needs to pay more attention to context and learn a little tolerance of other peoples views before he gets so easily offended. Understanding that we have different religious views and attempting to discuss them is not the same thing as using totalitarian rule to kill people you disagree with. Those who make this leap as quickly as many here and apparently Donny have, seem to have more interest in becoming "offended" then in really discussing the issues raised. Had Donny explored with her what in particular he thought was offensive, I could at least have considered him somewhat serious about it.

Not appeasement nor shouting down, but discussion and tolerance, will often avoid bigger problems.

Rachel   October 12th, 2007 2:21 pm ET

It's unfortunate, but Ms. Coulter's comments are merely an echo of Christian doctrine. I'm sure that when she finished babbling, millions of Christians nodded and thought "Amen". Some people on this board may say that Ms. Coulter does not speak for all Christians, but as a Jew who grew up in the rural midwest, I can tell you that she at least speaks for a lot of them.

And to respond to an individual posts:

Wishing people to convert to your faith is not the same as wishing them dead. Is it anti-Semitic to encourage Jewish people to attend your church?

Posted By Matt Dooley

Actually, yes. It is. The religious recruitment of any race or denominational group is a form of bigotry that promotes supremacy and exclusion, thus devaluing the cultural and spiritual worth of others.
Furthermore, Mr. Dooley, in response to your previous comment (Wishing people to convert to your faith is not the same as wishing them dead,), I regret to inform you that in the eyes of the Jewish people this is incorrect. We have a deep love for our heritage and we regard any attempt to wipe it out–whether by conversion or death–to be attempted genocide. This is evident in our holidays: Passover (enslavement), Chanukkah (assimilation) and Purim (murder) are all celebrations of Jewish survival, which we take VERY seriously.

Jack, Lake Andes SD   October 12th, 2007 2:19 pm ET

a few things to consider:
1-If she weighed 50 lbs more, she would not be selling books, nor appear on TV-radio
2-100 years ago, she and other kooks, (left or right),would be down at the park, on a soap box, spewing their idiotic theories and occasionally taking a tomato to the head,,
3- I am a Republican, and she is using the party to spew her idiotic theories.

How sad

Michelle, Pittsburgh PA   October 12th, 2007 2:19 pm ET

It sounds as if Ann Coulter would be more comfortable living in the Third Reich. She sounds like the next Ava Braun. I'm extremely offended and confused by her words- do people actually believe this? As a Democrat and an agnostic, I want to ask Christian Republicans if they agree with Coulter.

Greg Reid, Palm Bay, Florida   October 12th, 2007 2:18 pm ET

The Spanish Inquisition needs to be renamed the Roman Catholic Inquisition so people will remember that Catholics killed Jews, witches, homosexuals, Native Americans, Muslims and Protestants in the name of Christ. If you believe in God then you should believe such a being could fight his own battles. God would probably be insulted that such lowly beings such has Coulter, Bush, the Pope, and high level Muslim clerics would ever invoke God’s name

Steve Seifert, Elkhart Indiana   October 12th, 2007 2:18 pm ET

The issue here is that Ann is basically correct, but she stated it very poorly. Christians do not follow laws, we are under grace. The apostel Paul ask the question, "Who is the true Jew?". He goes on to say that it is he who follows Christ as Messiah.

benjamin philadelphia, pa   October 12th, 2007 2:16 pm ET

i think im correct in saying that god would disagree. jews are the chosen people which god has a promise with. who is ann coulter to say that christians are perfected jews, is that not blasphemy? is saying that god did something well, but not perfect basically saying that god made something wrong or imperfect… which begs the question… if you believe that god is perfect and does nothing wrong, yet he made a promise with people that some bigot on cnbc calls imperfect doesn't that say that she is saying god is wrong?

ann coulter should stop speaking for christians as a whole and realize that what she is saying is completely out of line is basically committing blasphemy.

and to jon in sacremento, ca… i am no liberal, just a very offended jewish college student

Sophie London   October 12th, 2007 2:15 pm ET

yes, us jews are always stirring up trouble.

What will be fun to see is when this comes back and bites her in the ass next time she tried to publish a book.

Can you just imagine on the phone to a publisher ,

"I have a new book! its better than the last one should i bring it into the office?"

"Im sorry Ms. Coulter, there is no room in this inn either"

*beeeeeeeeeeep*

Im 16, but if I were in the public eye and just so happened not to be jewish and also while i'm at it disliked jews, you keep it in your head and in your home because THE JEWS WALK AMONG YOU and you never know when one will leap out the wood work.

Linda, Delanco NJ   October 12th, 2007 2:15 pm ET

When did Ann Coulter become a Christian. This is the first I'm hearing about this. She probably doesn't even read the bible and can't quote the basic tenents of the faith. She must be joking. When did all Republicans become Christian? I'm sure there are a lot of heathens she knows and hangs out with. She makes terrible remarks about other people. She's obviously anti Semitic and anti minority. Please please go away Ann.

Michael Cobb,Hoffman Estates,IL   October 12th, 2007 2:14 pm ET

Why am I not suprised by these comments. They reflect the attitude of many conservatives. We're right, your wrong. End of story. The funny thing is, if Coulter knew anything about the history of her enemies, she would have known that Islam is,according to it's practioners,the perfection of Christinaity. So if her reasoning is correct,i.e.that Christinaity came after Judism so it is 'perfected', then Islam would be the 'perfection' of Christianity because it came to being 600 years after Christ. Somehow I don't see her buying that, so why would we belive her? Or any of these hucksters of all "faiths" selling that which they can not possibly know, our fate at our death.She,like they,rely on fear,supersition and ingnorance to advance there beliefs, and maintain the power they so desperatly want.

Servant of God   October 12th, 2007 2:12 pm ET

To whomever will listen: Jesus is God. He did not come to start a religion, but to speak of the ONLY way to achieve eternal life. Jesus is the ONLY way to life. Only faith in Him and obedience to all of his commands (the 10 commandments plus whatever else he commanded in Scripture) will save anyone's life. This world gives you endless opposing groups…Christian/Muslim, Black/White, Democrat/Republican, American/European…and so on. And while we waste precious, borrowed time arguing these distinctions, we miss the only thing that matters..The truth is that there are only TWO groups of people: Those who believe in and obey Jesus and those who do not. No other man-made distinctions mean anything to Jesus. Those who obey Him have been promised eternal life. Those who do not obey him will die forever, never to live again.

So if you will live, choose the only way to life. Jesus Christ the Lord and King.

TODD, STEVENS POINT, WI   October 12th, 2007 2:11 pm ET

I'LL BET 99% OF YOU WHO ARE COMPAINING ARE LIBERAL. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE GAYS WERE HAVING THERE STREET PARTY LAST WEEK IN CA? PEOPLE HANGING IN CAGES WITH CROSSES ABOVE THEM. A MAN NAKED ON A CROSS WITH ANOTHER MAN DRESSED IN LEATHER WHIPPING HIM. MEN DRESSED UP LIKE NUNS. THIS IS THE REAL OUTRAGE. I'VE READ ALMOST ALL OF THESE COMMENTS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PEOPLE. SHE IS ONLY REPEATING WHAT THE OLD TESTAMENT SAYS AND YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING CRAZY.

Cindy W Riverside CA   October 12th, 2007 2:05 pm ET

Few of you responding don't seem to be able to acknowledge something: Coulter being able to say what she says is what this country is all about; freedom. Freedom of speech, religion and yes freedom to have what some think is radical thought. Coulter isn't a Nazi, weird at times and intentionally inflammatory yes. This country is so wrapped up in political correctness and pandering to making no one slightly upset or uncomfortable with ANYTHING that a healthy discussion can't occur without it spiraling into a melee of antisemitic accusations. Religion is a polarizing force that by nature of wanting to "spread the news" and convert others to own own beliefs flies in the face of total acceptance of others religions. We can and should strive for peaceful coexistence with all peoples and religions but lets get real..Ann Coulter didn't start this fire. If you have beliefs in any higher power and practice any organized religion..you believe your beliefs are right. I hope you do, otherwise why do you believe them? As is always the case, stop worrying so much about others…look in the mirror first, educate yourself, improve yourself, be the best person you can be. That ultimately is the biggest difference you can make..to yourself, your family and as and your legacy to the world. Stepping off soapbox now.

david, Philadelphia, PA   October 12th, 2007 2:05 pm ET

the more ann coulter opens her mouth, the more she makes the neo-conservative movement demonstrate what it is: a bunch of manipulative, ego-driven, power-hungry, people-hating numnutz.

go on ann: tell us more about how you'll change the world for the better as a "good christian". and oh: please pass the popcorn: this is getting really fun.

it's high time that everyone turns their collective back to her, with no more regard than that which we offer to lindsie lohan or.. robert novak, for that matter. regardless of ones' political leanings, it is crystal clear that she is a lonely, angry and soulfully anemic little post-sorority girl that, when shoved deeply enough into an intellectual corner.. she can only try to find an audience through her own self-congratulating giggles, hoping to find the last one in the crowd that won't throw that rotten tomato of truth's final vestiges back into her masculine face.

Laura Marino, Staten Island, NY   October 12th, 2007 2:02 pm ET

Okay honestly there's a few things I've noticed about the comments I've seen posted on here… First of all, I want to say from the start that I am not in agreement with Ann's statements in any way, shape or form. I'm Catholic and I was married to an Atheist just to give you an idea of my tolerance levels for religion. However what really amuses me are all the people who are on here ranting about how we shouldn't give her any more attention but that's EXACTLY what you all are doing!!! How can you sit and say don't pay her any mind in a public forum she can very well read herself and see just how much attention you're "not giving her." Second of all, the same people who are sitting here saying Ann doesn't have the right to say what she did are the ones who defend Al Sharpton's right to spew racial hatred on a daily basis. Free speech is a right for everyone, not just Democrats… and finally, if you're truely educated and not ignorant of the world around you, you'd understand that Donny Deutsch is doing just as well and getting just as much publicity off this as she is. He could have taken the opportunity to say he was going to put his foot down and not allow her "Christian hate-monger" ideas to fill the airwaves. He could have said that he would not air something that offended him and could possibly offend other people, both Jewish and non and I'm sure he would have gained a lot of respect for that. But he didn't because he, just like Ann and other political commentators and pundits are about ratings, publicity and stirring the pot.

I know some people here may dispute the fact that Ann Coulter is an educated person or that she has the right to voice her opinions but please don't kid yourselves. That woman knows exactly what she is doing when she says the things she says and the reaction she is going to evoke. And until you people STOP REACTING to it the way you do, she has NO reason to stop and television has nothing to do but GAIN from her making the comments. Does she really believe the things she said? Probably but then again, so do a LOT of other people about their own religions. But she wasn't saying what she said to encourage people to convert to Christianity. She was doing it for a media reaction, plain and simple. The sooner everyone recognizes that's why she does the things she does, the less offended you'll stop being by it.

Sherry AllOver Texas   October 12th, 2007 1:59 pm ET

Freedom of speech is one thing, but freedom of hate speech is another. Coulter, O'Reilly, Limbaugh et al need to be dealt with from a legal standpoint. The hate filled propaganda they are spewing is hurting this country and widening the divide between Democrats & Republicans at a time when we should all be coming together. One must assume that is their agenda, which in my opinion is about as unpatriotic as you can get.

There is a reason it is against the law to yell "Fire" in a crowded movie theater and there should be a law against this type of hate speech as well, it does harm the country.

David B, Sterling VA   October 12th, 2007 1:59 pm ET

Coulter has never shied away from her belief that White Christian American Republicans are some kind of master race. Why are people shocked when she says something like this? She's very proud of her bigotry.

Carmen Larkin, Lindenhurst, New York   October 12th, 2007 1:59 pm ET

I'm appalled that anyone in 2007 can still spew such racial and religious hatred. Why does this individual keep popping up on shows? For effect? For ratings? She's a disgrace to anyone who calls themselves Christian. Perhaps it's time to revisit the rhetoric of pre-Nazi Germany…

Joy Sevier, Atlanta, Georgia   October 12th, 2007 1:59 pm ET

Why was I NOT surprised to hear Ms.Coulter's comments??
How UN-CHRISTIAN of her, and also ignorant, to say nothing of her stupidity. Could she really meant this?
Or, are her comments to keep her books selling?
I do know that many people may agree with her, but they are not stupid enough to elaborate and make widely known to the public at large of just how totally ignorant this is!
One of the things I have learned in life is to really be careful of those who proclaim loudly of their being Christian….It has often been to my regret that I trusted them. If one IS truly Christian, they do NOT need to say anything—-just let it be known by the way they live!!!!!!!!

No. I'm republican and I've always thought Ann Coulter was an idiot. I don't buy her books. I pay no attention to her interviews. She could not be more of a non-issue in my life if she tried.

Like I said previously, Ann likes to stir up the ant hill and you, my dear Joy, are playing right into her hand. She makes comments specifically to get a rise out of people and based on your post her wishes have come true.

Good job lumping all republicans in the same lot and in the same breath say that Ann does not speak for all Christians. You discount your comments by your own actions. Kudos.

Quite a few people are defending Ms. Coulter's right to voice her comments by pointing out that she has represented a valid Christian view of Judaism. First of all, why bother defending her comments? She has a right to say whatever (nonviolent) thing she wants–no matter who she offends. That debate can end right there.

Second of all, if we're talking about whether or not what she said was clever, let's note: There's a reason Jews do not generally go about expressing a Jewish perspective on Christians. How popular would, say, John Stewart be if he declared "Christians are like our wayward children. They were once chosen by God, like us, but they now worship a false idol. I wish we were all perfect, like us Jews. In fact, America would be a better place if Christians would perfect themselves, and abandon this golden calf of Jesus."

Not very popular. (Although just to complete the parody, he could bring up some biblical references to Sodomites and Jezebel.)

Anyway, this is just the nature of the difference between Jews and Christians. Jews don't worship false idols. That's why they don't worship Jesus. Christians worship the messiah, whom they believe to be Jesus. That's why they're Christians. The two points of view are mutually exclusive, and it's insulting and offensive to express the quality of one from the other's necessarily exclusive perspective.

This is something that should be obvious, and frankly it was stupid of her not to have seen it. (Either that or it was an insult calculated to create an effect. You chose.)

Once all's said and done, we do have the freedom to say stupid things, and to do so as loudly as the media will allow.

So, power to you, Ms. Coulter. I just hope the majority of your listeners are more clever than you seem to be.

Predictable reactions!

- Insult her
- Misunderstand her
- Ignore her
- Focus on the delivery and not the content

Why would you waste your precious time on posting with the above reactions?
If you read this article make a meaningful exercise of it. Acknowledge her points. You can always state you are offended with how they are worded but why major in minors?
Make your valid counter point that's worth reading.
The posts that fall out of these guidelines are exercises in futility and examples of how people are more interested in personal recogniction of "witty" insults and blasting than meeting Ann in a battle of intellectual debate.

Adam Cohen, Rocky Hill, CT   October 12th, 2007 1:50 pm ET

Ann Coulter has finally lost her mind completely. Next thing she'll be saying that all humans should have blonde hair and blue eyes… although I belive that someone once mentioned that in Germany 70 or so years ago.

Jim, Flint, MI   October 12th, 2007 1:50 pm ET

Ann's statement is correct and not anti-semetic. Christianity came from Judaism. In the same way Protestants came from Catholics. Who coined the term anti-semetic? and why?

Richard Aberdeen, Nashville, Tennessee www.FreedomTracks.com   October 12th, 2007 1:49 pm ET

Although I try my best not to be a sexist and some of the smartest people I have personally known are blonde females, Ann Coulter remains the living embodiment of every "Dumb Blonde" joke that has ever been uttered.

Ann Coulter strolled into a public library and said in her usual loud and obnoxious voice: "I would like to order a Pepperoni Pizza".

Chris Matthews, who works as a librarian on the side to supplment his comparitively meager income, put his finger up to his lips and said:
"Shhh, this is a library."

So, Ann Coulter whispered, "I would like to order a Pepperoni Pizza."

Anymore Dumb Blonde jokes, anyone?

Helen, Dallas, TX   October 12th, 2007 1:49 pm ET

Let's step back for a moment and look how far we have deteriorated as a country under right wing control. When Ann Coulter Republicans use the term "Christians" they are not referring to a group of people who follow the teachings of Christ. They are referring to wealthy Aryans. If we allow the media to continue to promote these wicked people and their agendas unchecked, we will shortly find ourselves in a modern-day version of 1930's Germany. They must be stopped now.

Ann Coulter is an idiot obviously but is Jimmy Carter any better?

Javier, Fort Worth TX   October 12th, 2007 1:48 pm ET

For heavensake, do you see what happens in the name of 'tolerance' ?

We are so 'tolerant' of other views that we squash the view of the person who is speaking with her own freedom. We lose the VERY concept of tolerance in doing so. We want to shut her mouth for expressing her opinion and for saying things that make her intolerable, then hypocritically [every single one of you who accused her of intolerance] speak as if she has no right to exercise the freedom that she is given. How 'tolerant' are any of you hypocrites? Are you being tolerant of her intolerant? If not your objections become futile and plainly stupid.

She is not calling for the death of Jews, calling for the death of anyone at all. She is expressing an opinion that she is basing [erroneously] on the Bible. It isn't just jews who need to be perfected but ALL men who have been enslaved to sin if we are going to speak Biblically. Now if we want to become even more consistent Christians believe Jesus is the FULL expression and fulfillment of the Torah or Old Testament Law. If she means it in that sense then yes Jews should repent and obey Hashem, and the reason Jesus did speak of his own name is because he is Hashem.

There are many things we should learn, firstly true consistent philosophical tolerance never has anything to do with expressing opinions and agreeing on everything. True consistnent theology doesn't just believe Jews need to be perfected but ALL people need to.

Lastly, if you all want to be tolerant then please please *think* before you speak. You should be tolerant of Christian views if you want to be consistently tolerant, if not then we cna turn around and accuse you of not only being intolerant but violently prejudice against Christianity's ADMITTED intolerance. Christians are far more consistent than any post-modern foolish American.

Coulter is a menace, and does her republican conservative cronies no favors by going out of her way to offend any thinking individual. Because she is physically attractive according to some arbitrary societal standard (although, thankfully, that is rapidly fading), she gets away with saying the most outragous and offensive things without any backlash — indeed, each escalation to her rhetoric only garners her more airtime. Remember her little jewel about the 9/11 widows? How about her calling John Edwards a "faggot?" Why does the press continue to give this horrific excuse for a human being the air time to repeat her hateful and intolerant nonsense? I'm all for free speech — I just don't think we have to celebrate and publish the kind of garbage that continues to spew from that overaged Barbie Doll's mouth. Time to pull the plug and shut this woman down.

Wow! look at all these posts. This must be like a record…, about Ann?? Or could those low paid CNN interns be spreading conservative hate again, hmmmm…

Alexa, Marietta GA   October 12th, 2007 1:43 pm ET

The Christians who strongly believe it is thier duty to convert those who do not follow Jesus's path do so out of a true and unwaivering concern for the soul of the other person.
However speaking generically about the imperfections of a religion that differs from yours while cameras are rolling is not a conversion, it is a denegration of a group of human beings. It does not show respect nor consideration, it only deepens the gap between two groups.

She should work on perfecting herself first before talking about perfecting anyone else.

Brendan H., San Antonio, TX   October 12th, 2007 1:43 pm ET

If you all think Coulter is out of control now, just wait until it becomes obvious that Hillary is going to the White House!

Coulter will sink to new depths never before thought possible!

Maria Peschl   October 12th, 2007 1:41 pm ET

Yes, she is a dangerous idiot, but don't the jews consider themselves the "Chosen People"? If they do so, the Christians should be allowed to consider themselves "Perfected"…. By the way, I think both of them are wrong. They both resemble two inmates sitting in a mental institution, debating which one is Napoleon.

Jeff, New York City   October 12th, 2007 1:41 pm ET

Sounds like an antisemetic comment from a worthless piece of garbage.

In 1987, Al Camapanis got fired from his job as GM of the LA Dodgers after saying that African Americans may not have some of the necessities to be a field manager or perhaps a general manager. More recently, Don Imus got fired from his syndicated morning radio show for calling the Rutgers Women's basketball team a bynch of nappy-headed hos. Good riddance to them all. And you can take Ann Coulter with them. Actions have consequences. So should words.

Grovin, Darnassus, IL   October 12th, 2007 1:36 pm ET

I would suggest that we want Ann Coulter to be perfected, but I'd probably get charged in some way for encouraging suicide.

Michael H, Miami, FL   October 12th, 2007 1:36 pm ET

If the evil could be surgically removed from Ann Coulter, only an empty shell would remain. The woman has no soul — with all the hatred and evil inside her, there's no room for a soul. To her, attention is more important that air, water or food. If the media would ignore her, she would dry up and blow away, taking her evil with her. What a pathetic existence…and what a pathetic excuse for a human being.

Mike, Detroit, MI   October 12th, 2007 1:35 pm ET

I agree that Ann made an all-round poor choice of words. It is possible that she misunderstands the full meaning behind what she is trying to say. The idea of a "fast track program" is slightly offensive to me as a Christian, being that the Bible states that we are more obligated to follow the laws of God than anyone. Paul says "You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." (Romans 6:18) The Old Testament also states of the new covenant: "I will put my law in their minds and write in on their hearts." (Jer. 31:33) Jesus is correct in saying that he has come to fullfill the law and not to abolish it, since he gave us the law in our hearts throught the Holy Spirit. Since the "law of God" could also be called the "will of God," you could also say that Jews and Christians are bound to the same law. One is written; one is spiritual, yet they both come from the same God.

JC - Hot Springs, Arkansas   October 12th, 2007 1:34 pm ET

What a whack job this woman is. She is just nuts. I hope she gets to make a speech at the Republican National Convention. She makes Hugo Chavez sound reasonable!!

Julie, Petaluma CA   October 12th, 2007 1:33 pm ET

Ann you have some seriously bad karma coming your way. I would love to see you, O'Reily, and Limbaugh dropped off on the Pakistan/Afghan border. The filth that you spout is nothing short of terrorism. Your comments about Jews are just plain ridiculous. I keep hearing that you are highly educated. I am having a hard time grasping that. I am thinking that maybe you were just always high while you were being educated. Poor, pathetic, Ann you will only be remembered as the village idiot, if you are remembered at all.

Matt, Dallas, TX   October 12th, 2007 1:32 pm ET

Why does anyone pay attention to such a Bigot? There is no reason to acknowledge this shock oriented person. I would liken her to the Anna Nicole of the Republican Party. She has no real opinion and based on her comments I would say she is the furthest thing from a Christian.

Jim, Philadelphia, PA, USA   October 12th, 2007 1:29 pm ET

I'm a non-mainstream Christian – I'm happy to say my Jewish friends wouldn't
associate with Mr. Deutch and his band of anti-semitic propagandists.

Roger, Shawnee, KS   October 12th, 2007 1:29 pm ET

In my dreams of the US, I see no Ann Coulter.

Joy, Pompano Beach, Florida   October 12th, 2007 1:28 pm ET

Have you ever noticed that no one from the Republican party ever condemns Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter for their hateful remarks. But just let someone from the Democratic party make a comment that in no way compares to those two fools, and they are all in a dither and want them to apologize. I am still befuddled as to why she is on every TV program and allowed to spout her hate. They won't give anyone else the same platform. PLEASE DON'T THINK THIS HARD HEARTED WOMAN SPEAKS FOR ALL CHRISTIANS. SHE NEEDS TO GET DOWN ON HER KNEES AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FOR HERSELF.

Tipsy McStagger, Fort Lauderdale, FL   October 12th, 2007 1:28 pm ET

She's a freakish comedian. Should be called Rosie O'Coulter.

What a bag o'shiiit.

Jeff, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 1:27 pm ET

Beth- Wow. Wow. Wow.

I can't believe she would even contemplating writing such garbage. It literally sounds like Nazi propaganda. I personally feel obligated to apologize to the Jewish community for her. And my prayer is that a majority of Americans would join me in that apology.

Mike Bunts- try using some paragraph breaks, bud. I read your whole post
(probably the only person on Earth) and you're on the right track, but no one is going to read a wall of text like that (unless they're really bored at work). :)

Jane of Delray Beach, FL   October 12th, 2007 1:27 pm ET

I don't understand why so many media outlets allow Ms. Coulter a forum to spew her nonsense. Who cares what Ms. Coutler has to say on any topic? Every word is calculated in order to obtain the utmost reaction from the audience. Even she can't believe such crap. Why don't you simply ignore her? If this is newsworthy then America is in BIG TROUBLE. 99% of us think she's a bleached blonde "joke". How pathic for someone who is educted to believe the entire world would be better off made up of people just like her. She must make her parents very proud !!! Her intellect really shows through when she quotes Jerry Falwell. If this is her Messiah then God help us all.

Perhaps what Ms. COulter really needs is a good f–k !

Scott, Boston MA   October 12th, 2007 1:27 pm ET

I have actually heard Jews who have accepted that Christ is the Messiah refer to themseves as "Perfected Jews," "Completed Jews," tho I think the proper term is "Messianic Jews."

To think that what she said is hateful is to misunderstand her point. People just seem to love to hate her, and will continue to no matter what she says. I do agree that she has said some petty outlandish things in the past, but this interview is completely benign.

As a Christian – I worship a man who was a Jew. I love the Old Testament, as it is the first part of the story that was completed in the New Testament. Christians are not prefect, but we are made perfect in Christ – not through any doing of our own.

Troy Longmire, Brooklyn, New York   October 12th, 2007 1:26 pm ET

In the space and time used to illustrate the useless rhetoric of a right-wing zealot, or otherwise a pretty unintelligent and unpersuasive individual, i.e., Ann Coulter, it would have better served God and humanity if we had a discussion on gun control and universal health care, or some otherwise a discussion on how to genuinely better our American Society.

Sarah, Atlanta GA   October 12th, 2007 1:26 pm ET

It would be hypocritical for me to say that I will pray for Ann Coulter when the truth is I will pray for her to stop talking.

Kristine Robbins---Millbury MA,   October 12th, 2007 1:25 pm ET

What a sad, sad woman. I am a Christian and I tend to lean a bit more towards the middle and the left given our current government. That being said, for her to say that the Jewish people should conform to be "Christians" is a horrible statement and slap in the face to all people of the Jewish faith. What she said to Mr. Deutsch was an insult. Not surprising though as she is attempting to impose her beliefs on others in a similar way that our current government appears to be doing to other countries.

Imperfect Christian, Minneapolis, MN   October 12th, 2007 1:24 pm ET

Wow. I don't think SHE even understands what she is saying. It makes no sense. It's like that game telephone, she heard the message but she repeats it, it's a little off.

She sounds like a cult when she says "our testament" and "perfected christians".

Deutsch is a jewish name?

Matt, Chicago   October 12th, 2007 1:21 pm ET

Hey LA Jon,

"When a republican hears something they don't like, they turn the channel or walk away."

You're blind (probably wilfully).
See Moveon.org ad – waste of Congress' time + taxpayer $. 2) Disgusting backlash against the 12-yr old fr. Maryland + his brain-damaged sister for having the "audacity" to speak out on behalf of legislation that saved the well-being of their family. That's just the last month.
You want hypocrisy? look in the mirror – (see Mark Foley, T. Haggard, Vitters, "wide-stance Larry," etc…) hiding behind their moral rhetoric to consolidate their power while living contradictory lives. That's the essences of hypocrisy. To that can be added anyone who uses Christianity as self-serving proof of their moral superiority, while at the same time being strictly intolerant of anyone different from them – in obvious contradiction to the teachings of Jesus (see Coulter, O'Reilly, etc…).

Jon, Keep drinking the kool-aid and
using "spooky" words like Communism. Like all the far right, your self-righteous, illogical opinions reek of intolerance and ignorance.

Suzie in Indianapolis,
Okay, you say that Christianity is infact monothiestic. The last paragraph, however, you claim to follow Jesus. Not God. You also say the Holy Spirit is an inseperable part of Father and Son. Notice what I said here…Father AND Son. That's two. (Three with the Holy Spirit) One thing I don't understand is hardcore Christians claming to me monothiestic, but then a few minutes later praying to Mary to forgive someone. Mary makes 4. Monothiestic??

Beth, Madison, WI   October 12th, 2007 1:17 pm ET

Regarding Ann Coulter's Remarks, I found this dated from 2003 on chuckcurrie.blogs.com

"You won’t be surprised. But The Heritage Foundation has an essay posted on their web site by Ann Coulter that is about as anti-Semitic as you can get.

"In addition to having a number of family deaths among them, the Democrats' other big idea – too nuanced for a bumper sticker – is that many of them have Jewish ancestry. There's Joe Lieberman: Always Jewish. Wesley Clark: Found Out His Father Was Jewish in College. John Kerry: Jewish Since He Began Presidential Fund-Raising. Howard Dean: Married to a Jew. Al Sharpton: Circumcised. Even Hillary Clinton claimed to have unearthed some evidence that she was a Jew – along with the long lost evidence that she was a Yankees fan. And that, boys and girls, is how the Jews survived thousands of years of persecution: by being susceptible to pandering."

I am a jew, and I am MORE than offended by all of this.

Dave   October 12th, 2007 1:17 pm ET

Donny should know by now that the level of education has little to do with one being a bigot. Ann Coulter, once again by opening her racist mouth, has proved that she is a not only an educated idiot but a racist bigot. It amazes me to see the Donny's of the world give her opportunity after opportunity to plug her books…. or is it a smart ploy to give her enough air time to keep making such stupid commments that at some point she will force the media to totally ignore her…. lol all expect Hannity who I think is in love with her. Wonder what that says about him!

Doug, Denver CO   October 12th, 2007 1:16 pm ET

I do not believe that people should be forced to convert to Christianity, but I do believe that Christianity should not be forced out of our American principles.

The founding fathers of this country were Christian period. We should not take down Christian based themes, statues, symbols or verbage from our government because other faiths find it offensive. This is America and on American soil, Christianity is the original and predominant faith. When in another country, I would not presume to change that country's history.

October 12, 2007
Coulter: We want 'Jews to be perfected'
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 is simply asking for a return to that value system and for those that disagree, that is your right. But if you do not like it please do not try to change this country's history. A suggestion would be to live in a location that shares in your same religious ideals.

dave, Kansas Mo   October 12th, 2007 1:15 pm ET

Typical brainwashed from birth Christian attitude. If she is taken of air, another will just take her place. Dont you see her pretty halo and wings?

John Welch Spokane, WA   October 12th, 2007 1:14 pm ET

Poor Ann Coulter, too many drugs without a helmet have scrambled her brains. If she's a Christian then I'm not a retired catholic.

If everyone in this country were Christian I'll wager it would take little time before the various denominations within that confused faith would be at each other's throats fighting to decide if whose sect can beat up whose sect. How entertaining that would be.

The trouble with organized religion is not so much the amusing competition, but the all too many clowns who claim to follow one or the other and don't have a clue what they are talking about. It is all too silly to me. Perhaps God is just as amused.

Laura, Columbus, OH   October 12th, 2007 1:14 pm ET

Jon from Sacramento was confused. Islam believes that Jesus was a prophet, not Judaism.

michael, olney, md   October 12th, 2007 1:14 pm ET

Ann Coulter should not be given a pedestal. America stands for tolerance, not labeling people by religious beliefs; so I think we might as well consider her anti-American and stop paying attention to her.

Chris Conti, Newton, MA   October 12th, 2007 1:13 pm ET

Ann Coulter's 15 minutes of fame are officially up. To claim on one hand tolerance and on the other suggest we should all "look like Christians" is hypocrisy in the extreme. If the Republicans were smart they would distance themselves from Coulter and others like her who actually do harm to the party.
Her "fast track" comment combined with her "perfected" comment about Jews puts her in the Nazi party, not the Republican Party.
And one other idea, how about the news outlets simply stop inviting this woman on any of their shows. That might be a quick way to end her career.

Okay, imagine that all other religions are gone. But wait, there's Roman Catholic, Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, Unitarian….and who knows how many others. They are all Christian. Who decides which one of the Christian faiths is the right one? There will still be fighting, name calling, and possible an all out war….over a sub-sect of general Christianity.

mike bunts, philadelphia pa.   October 12th, 2007 1:12 pm ET

georgina   October 12th, 2007 1:12 pm ET

WOW, it takes a religious article to get you Americans so fired up! That's scary. Come on people, you don't have that many in your country who reeealy believe in an invisible entity do you?
My mom and dad sent me to Sunday school when I was little so they could have some "alone" time. After a few of these classes I had it figured out. There were those out there who were trying very hard to make me believe in a fairy tale.
People, believe in yourself, your country, your values, believe in a lot of things, but not in a silly story which has been passed down in the years to make you feel better about your life. You nor anyone else has a shred of evidence to support the existence of a god. Just because you say it is, doesn't make it so.

Charles Ray, North Potomac, MD   October 12th, 2007 1:12 pm ET

The rantings of this woman – beloved by so many misguided people – are the reason I gave up on Christianity as a teenager. The bigotry and intolerance she displays is beyond belief. I support free speech, but when a nut case like this spouts off, I have my moments of doubt.

Scott-Holland. PA   October 12th, 2007 1:11 pm ET

What continues to bother me is how these conservative pundints like Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity and O' Reilly get away with this stuff. When ever they say something like this they are passed off as "entertainers" trying to sell a book or get attention. It must be because the "Liberal Media" is picking on them. The fact that these folks remain on the air is proof that the "liberal media" no longer exists and has been replaced by state run news corporations like Fox.
Now,please expain to me how the Jews control the media. Last I looked Rupert Murdoch wasn't wearing a Star of David".

I am shocked, Boca, FL   October 12th, 2007 1:11 pm ET

Just by reading the response on CNN, I’d say for Ann Coulter and CNBC it’s “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”. Who would have thought!!! Whether she herself believes all what she spews out is a topic for a different day. The interesting element however, is the fact that a flop talk show on a third graded TV channel with pathetic ratings invites this delusional character, knowing full well that she will at least start a national controversy over either religion or race. Yet the so called Jew welcomes this shemale Christian on his show and pretends to be shocked by the whole discussion. Oh she berated the Jews, run! run! The end result: The ratings beyond his wildest imagination. From lifelong KKK sympathizers to full blown Nazis (Yes we have them in America too) will watch his show with “religious” zeal and fervor.
For any wannabe shock jocks reading this post, if you would like to make a name in this country for yourself, just pretend to be a larger than life bigot and anyone that has a talk show from Chris Mathew of Hardball to Dr. Phil (the divine Psychologist) will invite you on their program and everyone will watch it with uncanny devotion like they are in the Zoo and observing the rare Panda mating rituals! (When they smell each others behinds, it’s quite a sight). In no time CNN will blog you in the Ticker and no matter how hateful you are, some people will find a way to support you. From there on sky will be the only limit. You would be able to write books, articles in the Wall Street Journal and maybe able to get your own slot on FOX news Channel!

Jan – Never be ashamed to admit you're a Christian in public. You are meant to be an "ambassador" of Christ. Just help people to understand that not all Christians are as misguided as Ms. Coulter.

Ann Coulter: News flash: Christians are NOT perfected as long as we live! That was the Apostle Paul's point. We spend our lives "pressing on" to "finish the race…"

BTW, this is a good opportunity to make a very important point. Republicans chastize African Americans for being predominantly Democratic voters, arguing that we should be siding with social conservatives on the GOP side. The fact that the RNC is filled with "Good Christians" like this (as well as the teaming masses of KKK, Phineus Priests, and Neo-Nazis) is one reason why many African Americans go out of their way NOT associate with the GOP!

Anne Marie, State College, PA   October 12th, 2007 1:11 pm ET

Ann Coulter is the poster girl for all that is offensive about Christianity in today's world. As a committed Christian, I ask Christ to forgive her intolerance, bigotry and willful misinterpretation of His word. I wouldn't mind if He made her incapable of speech, either.

Amazing! When flag burning and gay pride marches are shoved in our face by the media, everyone applaudes this country's tolerance of free speech. But, anyone, regardless of thieir individual views on Christianity dare speaks of Jesus, God, or salvation, everyone is quick to want to boycott, or label them as crazy, embarassing, freakshow, and outrageous.

Kevin Flynn, Paterson NJ   October 12th, 2007 1:09 pm ET

She may have stated it clumsily but there's no denying the fact that Christians believe our religion is a continuation of Judaism and we pray for the conversion not just of Jews but of the world every day. We were commanded by Christ to preach the Good News and baptize all nations.
Sorry if that's offensive; it's not meant to be but it is what it is.

M.D. Ind   October 12th, 2007 1:08 pm ET

First of all who gave this woman permission to speak for the Christian community ??? not anyone i have heard of ….its very obvious that she has never even opened a bible let alone studied any part of it. so Christian leaders need to put this fake blonde in her place and if possible legally stiffle her from any kind of public display where she say's she represents the Christian community. we have enough problems with the secular world without some ditzy scank running around running her mouth about something she knows absolutly nothing about..so we need to pray that maybe someone will put super glue in her cheerios and shut her up… or better yet just tell her to put a lid on it and quit sayin you speek for everyone….

Some people say that Coulter is simply making these inflammatory statements to sell her books and there's no harm done. She may not believe what she says, BUT there are Americans and other countries that will believe her comments are true. These words may possibly lead people to take dangerous action against innocent Christians and Jews. It has happened many times before.

John C, Charleston, SC   October 12th, 2007 1:07 pm ET

I just think that it is hilarious that people get SO worked up about EVERYTHING. I couldn't care less what she says or what she thinks, as well as about 90% of the people out there. There are more important things to spend your energy on than getting upset about silly things like this.

Dale, Saint Petersburg Florida   October 12th, 2007 1:07 pm ET

Too bad that that guy wouldn't shut up long enough to hear Ms. Coulter's explanation. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Christianity is the completed work that the Jews are still looking for. If she offended him,all she was doing was telling him the truth.

Wade, Lancaster PA   October 12th, 2007 1:06 pm ET

Yes Ann Coulter's comments are diseased and laced with an underlying message that is designed to break down a tolerant view of the world's religions, but the main culprit here is CNN for offering a venue for her comments to be paraded upon. Th age-old comment goes "Any news is good news." Unfortunately, only Ann and CNN win with this senseless commentary.

David, Beverly Hills, California   October 12th, 2007 1:06 pm ET

If Andy Coulter and people like him are the ones going to heaven, I'm glad I'm not going!

And yes, I think virtually all republicans and all theists are idiots!

James, Virginia Beach, Virginia   October 12th, 2007 1:06 pm ET

Coulter is a bigot who promotes ignorance and hate, no surprise that she presents herself that way. It has nothing to do with her education. Just because you read a book doesn't mean you will understand it. Small minds think a like.

Nathan Columbus, Ohio   October 12th, 2007 1:06 pm ET

Karen in Charlottesville,
you said "How is Anne Coulter's thinking really any different from that of the Taliban? Except,she wants a world filled only with blue-eyed blonde Christians – like herself… while they want the entire world to look like them. Where is that 2004 RNC "happy" tolerance" of which she speaks so yearningly? It's certainly NOT in her life view!"
Check out her roots! Not even a true blond!…..actually, she IS starting to seem more and more like Hitler, isn't she?

Becktemba, So. California   October 12th, 2007 1:06 pm ET

Gee whiz, people using words like, "poison" to describe what Ms. Coulter said. If the truth is poison to some then so be it.

What she said is exactly what Christians believe. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it "intolerent" or "poison" or whatever you want to demonize it.

I suspect there are a bunch of you here making comments anyway.

Aaron, Santa Barbara   October 12th, 2007 1:05 pm ET

I find little difference between fundamentalists of any stripe – Christian, Muslim, Jewish, etc.

They all tell the same story – intolerance of other's beliefs.

Instead of violently making their points they hide behind their "faith" to metaphoriclly rid thenmselves of those that do not abjectly follow their lead.

How sad!!!

William, NY, NY   October 12th, 2007 1:05 pm ET

Funny, I just had a picture of God in my head laughing and thinking to himself…Ann you ain't getting in anyway, so get your fill for the "Dream" at the next GOP convention.

hinomura, atlanta, GA   October 12th, 2007 1:05 pm ET

she might be the dumbest white woman alive.

Jeff, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 1:05 pm ET

To everyone asking why Ann is still on TV: It's because she's NOT that obscure in her incredibly ignorant beliefs. A lot of people in this country completely agree with her, even if they may occasionally loudly yet gently slap her wrist for her acidic delivery.

I long for the day that the Dems put up a real secular progressive for President. Hillary and Obama pandering to Christians is *almost* enough to make me not support them.

Because the truth is that Christianity IS an intolerant, circular-logic faith, by definition. They are indeed "perfected Jews" in their own eyes, Jews originally being God's chosen people.

Modern Jews, along with Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, animists, atheists, agnostics and retards, are ALL going to Hell. Didn't you know?

The trick is in overcoming that PR disaster while still trying to save souls. Have pity on them, it's not an easy job.

Point is, Ann's a hero to a significant chunk of the nation. You're not surprised, are you?

Jana Edberg, Atlanta, GA   October 12th, 2007 1:05 pm ET

This woman truly needs to keep her mouth shut. She probably believes in the Aryan Nation ideal too. What an idiot.

Robert Bader, Flint, MI   October 12th, 2007 1:04 pm ET

I never ceased to be amazed at the ridiculous hypocrisy of you media types. You act horrified by Coulter's despicable views and yet you keep on encouraging those views by giving her all the media attention she desires.

Lie down with dogs and, yes, you wake up with fleas.

Brian, Durham, NC   October 12th, 2007 1:04 pm ET

First, I'd like to thank Ann for her insight. NOW I know what I've been missing my whole life as a Jew. Guess I'm stuck with going to hell. I'll see her there, I guess!
To all Christians,
I apologize to each and every one of you that Ann Coulter is trying to speak as though she represents your views/opinions.

Amy, Washington, DC   October 12th, 2007 1:03 pm ET

I have studied theology, and what is interesting to me is that Ms. Coulter did not technically say anything factually WRONG when it comes to traditional Christian/Catholic theology. Christians do believe that they have something extra over all other faiths, and if they didn't believe that, people would have no reason to convert…but many people do it voluntarily. Any person who identifies themselves as a Christian is saying that they have a preference for Christianity over Judiasm, Islam, Buddism, etc. People came to this country, partly for religious freedom. Members of organized religions around the world try to spread their message and encourage others to consider converting because they think they have something positive to offer….that is just what religion is. If Donny didn't want to engage in that kind of discussion and acknowledge that reality, he should not have brought it up. Many people don't talk about religion because of the obvious sensitivities. However, I will say that Ann's manner of communicating and clumsy choice of words can be a problem too. She tends to communicate very bluntly, and I think that someone else could have said the same exact thing, without compromising their beliefs, with a lot more diplomacy, sensitivity and refinement, and there would be no outrage. Donny could have been a little more understanding as well though and not been so quick with his assessment.

M. Johnson Chicago   October 12th, 2007 1:03 pm ET

A. Coulter Ahmedinejad, the wealthy witless wonder from New Canaan Connecticut and Palm Beach Florida, like most Republican Christians, has clearly not read far enough to discover that the rich, like her, have about a much chance of getting into heaven as a camel does through the eye of a needle. We have that on the very best authority in such matters – God Himself, if one believes Christian doctrine.

According to the Pope, there is no salvation outside the bosom of the Romish Church. That's doctrine for you.
Probably another reason A. Coulter Ahmedinejad will go to the fiery furnace.

She also missed the fact that Islam is the perfection, according to believers, of Judaism and Christianity.
I am sure the imams and Ayatollahs pray for her conversion daily. She definitely belongs in their camp.

Eugene, Akron, OH   October 12th, 2007 1:02 pm ET

Oh boy. Ann Coulter. Let's all care what she has to say about anything.

Is it really that surprising that she'd say something ridiculous, outlandish and inflammatory when she just put out a new book? I mean, look at her when she speaks; she literally can't even keep a straight face half the time because she's fully aware of how absolutely nonsensical she sounds. She's even said as much.

Yet still, she's able to garner all of this media attention and make lots of money from being a living, breathing Conservative parody. It's amazing. At least Bill O'Reilly puts a modicum of effort into making his audience believe he's earnest.

Steve Wittlake Blaine Washington   October 12th, 2007 1:02 pm ET

1660 comments and still going regarding religion. A very passionate exchange of information.
If you think about it you would realize the stupidity of all the comments.
What is a Christian? The people who call themselves Christian bear no resemblence to the Christians in the New Testement. The Jewish people who call themselves Jews today bear no resemblence to the Isreali people of the Old testament today.
Why? Has the Pope speak to Jesus Christ
in the last 1800 or 1900 years. Has The been a Jewish Prophet other than Jehovah who was born Jesus Christ speak to the Jewish People since around 500 BC.
Jehovah and Elohim have set the religion upon the earth at least 6 times and maybe more times and in each instance corruption has destroyed the religion causing Elohim and Jehovah to withdraw their authority from the Churchs from Adam down to the Church Jesus Christ established. God and Jehovah do not deal with corrupt institutions.

Benedict, Des Moines, Washington   October 12th, 2007 1:01 pm ET

How can I add something that hasn't been touched on yet? I'll try. Donny Deutsh knows that the controversy stirred up by comments made publicly by Ms. Coulter will benefit HIM. A benefit to a talk show host is publicity and more money. Both of them are greedy and don't live true religious lives.

Tom, Covington Ky   October 12th, 2007 1:01 pm ET

And they fired Don Imus.

Bobby - Charleston, West Virginia, USA   October 12th, 2007 1:01 pm ET

Ann Coultier is the product of a Nazi Neocon/Zionist White Christian agenda..

Don't be surprised when Blackwater Imperial Guards and Blackwater CIA start putting you into concentration camps. The Right Wing agenda is HATE!

VOTE RON PAUL!

Ron, Atlanta, GA   October 12th, 2007 1:01 pm ET

I am suprised people are outraged by her comments. Any person with commonsense would know what this woman is all about. Do not think your safe because they are nice to your face. Blacks are the only people who stand in between people like her from really telling how she feels.

Andrews Seminole, Florida   October 12th, 2007 1:00 pm ET

Who cares what she says? She is a smart-ass, know it all, in your face republican, that hates everybody and everything. Now, she has slammed the Jews below the belt. This is what she loves to do.
By the way, she looks like hell.

Brin W., Dallas, Texas   October 12th, 2007 1:00 pm ET

Hmm. A little abrupt and ill-stated, obviously, but I agree with her. Salvation is found through Jesus Christ – none other. Label your religion whatever you will, but if it's based on anything less than the cross of Calvary, you're wasting your time. But we'll see. One day, we'll all see.

John, Los Angeles CA   October 12th, 2007 1:00 pm ET

Amazing. This woman will say anything to get her name in press. Ignore her. The scary thing is she probably is beginning to believe all the ___ that is coming out of her mouth. She probably will now say I have lots of Jewish friends. You know how this is going to go people. OUT

Ron, Austin TX   October 12th, 2007 1:00 pm ET

Whether she is doing this for publicity or is just that ignorant doesn't really matter if don't allow her the chance to speak into the microphones and camaras. In fact, its just as disgraceful if she is doing this for publicity because it serves as food for those in our country that really are stupid enough to believe the types of things that she is spouting off. That makes her comments seriously irresponsible. Ridiculous — can we just keep her off the airwaves and render her as irrelevant as she should be??

Kai, FL   October 12th, 2007 12:59 pm ET

No Christian I know uses Jesus Christ as a "Fast Track." Ann Coulter's got it all wrong. Being a Christian doesn't mean automatic entry to heaven. It means we're forgiven by through the blood of Christ and we are to OBEY, be obedient; not just do or say whatever the heck we want. Maybe Ann should read her Bible instead of telling others what to do.

Charles, Dallas TX   October 12th, 2007 12:59 pm ET

Those of you who suggested she should be banned should be careful. I am Jewish and her comments are blatantly anti-semetic and offensive. However, she does have a right to her opinion. Now her opinion may be unpopular, unjust, offensive, or just plain wrong but it is still her opinion.

Frankly, I don't care for her and I think she has done herself in with this one but hey let her have her day and it can remind us why 6,000,000 of our people died in 5 years and why for years we have been bombed in Israel. Good for you Ann!!! Rally the troops

PollM, Dallas Tx   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

With the emergence of many well know Political and Christian figures who share that opinion, how do you feel about this.
Do you consider Christianity a perfected form of Judaism? —–> http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=695

S.C. White Lake, MI   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

Wow, wouldn't be a shame if NO ONE really goes to heaven. And all of this arguing, fighting and war would be for naught. Having been raised Catholic, the older I get, the more anti religion I become. Is it just me, or are there are more scandals associated with the red (christian) party than with the blue?

Jim Palmer, Boca Raton Florida   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

Donny Deutsch mentioned that he considers Ann Coulter a "friend". Hey Donny, you may want to start looking for new friends.

Matt O, New Ipswich, NH   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

kindly go back to the hole you came out of miss coulter. you make me want to throw up. youve taken the christian right to a new low, congrats.

bobbie yakima WA   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

Unreal…

Joe Chicago IL   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

Who is Ann Coulter, anyway?

I thought this lady worked at Hooter's

Radha, chicago,il   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

Her comments show how ignorant and how stupid she is and will always be. She certainly has her little and pathetic brains in her posterior section.

David, Beverly Hills, California   October 12th, 2007 12:58 pm ET

Frankly I didn't even understand what the heck she was trying to say! And she's a famous author?! Learn how to express a cogent thought! Besides, religion is for the weak. We create our own values. We create our own worth. When we die, we are worm food. Deal with it. Make the world a better place, because you are mature, enlightened and smart enough to know that it is the right thing to do. Not because some cosmic "Dad" told you to!

This nut job just reinforces every bad perception I have of the Christian Right. We get stuck with these losers, while Gore is winning Emmys, Oscars and Noble Peace Prizes!! This world and especially the USA would have been so much better is Bush didn't steal the 2000 (or 2004) election!

And for those that righteously say that a liberal cannot be a Christian. Huh? Anyone can live according to "Christian Values". Its easy. Be nice to people, live by the golden rule, don't kill, steal etc. Pretty basic. Of course, most of the GOP live lives that run completely against those values (of course, while they say they are being good Christians). Personally, I don't think right-wingers can be atheists! That requires a fortitude and awareness that is in short supply on that side of the ideological spectrum.

Jackie, Houston Tx   October 12th, 2007 12:57 pm ET

Deutsch got what he deserved. When Ann was making negative comments about other groups/people — what was Deutsch doing? Now Ann has made a stupid statement about Jews — he is upset. YOU SHOULD HAVE NOT GIVEN HER A PLATFORM TO SPEAK FROM.

Tom Brenholts   October 12th, 2007 12:57 pm ET

Ann Coulter:

"Blah blah blah, look at me, blah blah blah."

lew magrish, greensboro, nc   October 12th, 2007 12:57 pm ET

that woman is a disgrace! i don't understand why the media continues to allow her air time.

chaz, SD,CA   October 12th, 2007 12:57 pm ET

waste not want not…last time I'll ever read a Coulter story…

Kristi, Dallas, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:56 pm ET

Tough topic, but I'm glad we have a right to say our own opinions. She is just being passionate of her faith and giving hope to people that their sins can be forgiven through Christ. She might have come off as offensive/blunt, but truth can hurt sometimes and I would think in our day in age we are strong enough to listen. So you have to debate it out…at least it gets people thinking and talking!

A Fagan, Rochester NY   October 12th, 2007 12:56 pm ET

A whole generation suffered and died to get rid of Nazi stooges like Ann Coulter. I can't believe that we allow them such a large voice and access to the public airwaves. I don't fault Ann Coulter for spouting her Nazi doctrin, it is her right under the 1st amendment. I fault the TV network for violating the public trust in allowing her a platform to deficate her filth.

Quinn, Washington, DC   October 12th, 2007 12:56 pm ET

IT IS DISGUSTING THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE ANN COULTER AS A HUMAN. SHE SHOULD BE EXECUTED AS A CRIMINAL.

Jenifer, Eldon MO   October 12th, 2007 12:56 pm ET

This is what happens when you never take a good look at yourself. You see what is "wrong" with everyone else. I am happy there is freedom of speech in America-I am even happier that in America I have the right to turn off any media that showcases this witch.

James, Eatontown, NJ   October 12th, 2007 12:56 pm ET

People really need to stop comparing Christianity to the rise of the Third Reich…its a preposterous notion.

Dave Glebe, Philadelphia, PA   October 12th, 2007 12:56 pm ET

As an independent voter who usually votes Democratic, I think the Democrats should rejoice every time Coulter opens her mouth like this, because when she does, she certainly drives more thinking people away from the Republicans, who often coddle her and support her. In fact, it would not surprise me at all if it turns out that Coulter IS a Democrat.

Stephen Russell, Oakland, Ca   October 12th, 2007 12:55 pm ET

Since Coulter is not a theologian, I see her attempt at juxtapostion of Christianity and Judaism as clumsy at best. She would have done a lot better not to have entered into a discussion about a matter of which she sorely lacks biblical understanding.

Jim, St. Louis, Mo   October 12th, 2007 12:55 pm ET

Most of the crimes in this country are committed by Christians. What does that say?

R, Washington DC   October 12th, 2007 12:55 pm ET

As a token Jew, I felt it important to clarify that, contrary to some people's belief, we do not recognize Jesus as a figure of any standing in our faith (I believe the Muslims recognize him as a prophet). We do not consider him any more a prophet or divinity than we do Mr. Greenberg next door–he was a historically significant jew who lived around 30-70 CE. Nor do we recognize any place for the so-called "Jews for Jesus" in Judaism–and this is among Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstruction alike.

Though Ann Coulter does not deserve comment, the gentile below should learn more about Judaism before espousing views about the "traditional Jewish faith." This is not the first time I've encountered such misconceptions.

Stephen, Washington DC   October 12th, 2007 12:55 pm ET

AMEN, Sister!
All of you liberals out there who are always so ready to broadcast your belief in the "Freedom of Speech," yet give a conservative like Ann Coulter a forum to speak and you immediately cry for blood. Your pathetic, hypocritical intellecual bankruptcy is so obvious. When Democratic candidates regularly kiss the hands of race-baiting bigots like Al Sharpton, you say nothing. But when Ann Coulter gives her opinion, you can't wait to excoriate her AND blame all Republicans for what she says. I love Ann Coulter because she never fails to get a rise out of you liberal hypocrites out there. The moment you're willing to take on the hate speech of rap music and the race-baiters like Sharpton and Farrakhan, THEN you can criticize Coulter. But you'll never question the sacred cows of your own party, so screw you! What are you so afraid of? That the weak-willed, spineless, feel-good humanism Americans seem to embrace just isn't consistent with the majority monotheistic religions of the world? Give me a break.

Dan, Pittsburgh, PA   October 12th, 2007 12:54 pm ET

hahahaha…and the christians wonder why the rest of society is getting so tired of their rhetoric and pushiness.

Jeff Klasmeier   October 12th, 2007 12:54 pm ET

Why is this news? Coulter is a brand not a person with a relevant viewpoint. She's a opportunist, not a pundit. She says what she says, because inflammatory = $$ in her pocket.

KC, Ojai, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:54 pm ET

The detail I noticed that Ann said is that Christians are tolerant. But I can see how she is by insisting that Jews change their fundamental belief system. Come on, Ann you went to college, look up the definition of tolerant. It's certainly not what you are or what you say. There would be far less racism, oppression, anger and crime if this country WAS more tolerant. I hate to say it but it seems like Ann is dreaming more of a Nazi regime where everyone is conveniently blond and blue-eyed. Shame on her for her intolerant remarks and close-minded dreams.

Sue, Seattle WA   October 12th, 2007 12:54 pm ET

Any skinny bleach blonde with eyeliner that thick has a boatload of problems. She doesn't even need to open her mouth; we already know.

Phillip, Fort Myers, Florida   October 12th, 2007 12:53 pm ET

Can you guys say "satire"?

Good. You've made much progress today. Now you understand Ann Coulter.

You may now go back to your regularly scheduled lives. There must be something more important to do with your time than to hate Ann with the same kind of venom you accuse her of showing others.

Brian, Austin TX   October 12th, 2007 12:53 pm ET

It amazes me that they even let her on the air. She is seriously ill and deluded. As a gay jewish man I am now doubly offended by her. I guess there is truth to the rumor that Eva Braun and Hitler had a secret love child.

Bradley Schaubs, Greeley, CO   October 12th, 2007 12:53 pm ET

Ann Coulter is, in my view, the stereotypical blonde. That is, she has no functioning brain, and she is 100% eye candy for a guy's eyes. Pity she gets attention like this. People like her only cause the GOP to be driven further into the ground. No wonder so many people are changing parties from Republican to either Democrat or Independent.

Bob Conn,New Jersey   October 12th, 2007 12:53 pm ET

I agree with Rodney from Dallas.She is the devil in sheep's clothing.She looks & acts like a two-bit hooker.I'm sorry,that would be insulting hookers.

Moses Heysoos, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:53 pm ET

People, belief is NOT fact! No one can prove anything, one way or the other, except that religion has caused more intollerance, superstition, hatred, war, and killing than anything else throughout history. Get a clue everyone. Go Darwin!

Allison Ackermann, Dayton, Ohio   October 12th, 2007 12:52 pm ET

Hi, we aren't in the dark ages anymore. How ironic too that she's attempting to be culturally relevant. FAIL.

Gary, Washington, D.C.   October 12th, 2007 12:52 pm ET

A non-Jew can't even SAY the word "Jew" without immediately being called anti-semitic. Ridiculous.

Jim, Lancaster MA   October 12th, 2007 12:52 pm ET

Unfortunately as a Christian, in a predominately Christain nation, it seems that we have utterly failed to articulate the message of Christ. Anne lays claim to Christianity, and who am I to say otherwise, however she does not appear to be able to articulate even the basics of her faith in any meaningful way. Perhaps she has been writing her diatribe too long, and is only able to express herself by short one liners, and catchy phrases. Her failure is in some part a failure for all who take on the name of Christ, and this is a very sad thought.

God's love is certainly all encompassing, and everything that is, is held together by the Will of God. However, quoting the most known of all Christian doctrine (John 3:16):

"For God so Loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life"

This Love embraces the world, but there is only One path. To be a Christian, is to believe this and more. It does not matter if you are Jew or Gentile, God loves you the same, and has given you an option. Accept , or reject, it is your free will. God will not interfere with the exercise of our free will, but he has clearly defined the path for everlasting life.

Unfortunately, the Christian Right has married their spiritual life to their political views and goals, and it is very difficult for them to separate this unholy union.

JR AMARILL, TEXAS   October 12th, 2007 12:52 pm ET

i APPLUAD HER FOR SPEAKING HER MIND AND STATING HER BELIEFS. IF SHE WERE OF NO RELIGON AND SPOKE AGAINST GOD AND CHRISTIANS WOULD ANY OF YOU BE ON YOUR HIGH HORSE? SHE AS DO WE ALL HAVE A RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH IF YOU DON'T LIKE HER OR AGREE WITH HER TURN OFF YOUR TV AND READ A BOOK.

Mark, St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador   October 12th, 2007 12:52 pm ET

Why in a secular society is religion giving any time at all on our political airwaves? When will the devoutly religious finally realize that religion is a personal thing not and is not to be forced on everybody? I was a Catholic but now I'm atheist because I just can come to associate my myself with the Vatican and with people like AC. In the words of Mr. Hutchens, "Religion poisons everything."

Jack Hemenshaw , Ft.Lauderdale, FL   October 12th, 2007 12:52 pm ET

As bizarre as it sounds, I bet ya Bill Clinton would still do her…even as his new role of roaming ambassador will keep him busy. God Bless poor Ann C – still driving them left wingers nutty!

Al   October 12th, 2007 12:52 pm ET

you almost think that she is actually being paid by anti-christian groups to make christians look crazy.

steve, Dallas TX   October 12th, 2007 12:51 pm ET

Her message wasn't delivered well, but it's not anti-semetic to say what she said. Look, Christians believe in everything that the Old Testament says (Judiasm) and also believe in the New Testamnet(Christianity). Christians hope that people come to know Jesus and convert. That being said, Jesus was a Jew who was also our lord. The first Christians were all Jews. They were made "perfect" by Christ dying on the cross. This is not anti-semetic, just our belief system. Christians should love Jews and Judaim for being an integral part of our history as Christians. Jesus was a Jew. He was called Rabbi by his followers. He taught new ideas that were not considered in the mainstream of Judiasm and was eventually persecuted for this. It can not be anti-semetic to acknowledge that Christians are a "perfected" Jew, because Jesus was a Jew and perfected us by dying on the cross. Can you not forget the political rhetoric and just understand logic, or are you all so blinded by your hatred off Ms Coulter?

Tom in Miami Florida   October 12th, 2007 12:51 pm ET

Her comment is no less offensive than Don Imus's or some of the insensitive hate coming out of Iran. Perhaps, she'll be on the next invite to IRAN.

Richard, St. Paul, MN   October 12th, 2007 12:51 pm ET

Why does this scrawny, hate-filled harpy get any airtime? She's just a tool of the lefties and we always know she's going to say something incredibly stupid and inflammatory. I'd find her boring if she wasn't so ugly.

LA Ann Arbor, MI   October 12th, 2007 12:51 pm ET

Get her off TV, ignore her. No, wait. I hope we hear more from her, the more she talks, the more certain it is that her party will never win again. Keep up the good work, Ann!

Patrick, Kentwood, Louisiana   October 12th, 2007 12:51 pm ET

Please, all cultured and educated liberals, leave the neo-RNC's poster child without comment.. after all, she's their very own (RNC) of Babylon…….how much more Christain can you get?

Rocky, Cleveland, OH   October 12th, 2007 12:50 pm ET

I believe that Ann did not state correctly what she was attemtping to say. Truly born-again Christians who believe they are going to heaven are doing so by placing their faith in the Jewish Messiah Jesus who came and died for all men's sins. He fulfilled all Old Testament (Covenant) promises and predictions. Anyone who places their faith in Him Alone as their Savior will go to heaven whether they be of the many "Christian" faiths, the Jewish faith, Islam or others. The difference in where one goes is not based on what one does, but on what Jesus Christ Jeshua Messiah has already done. He was the slain sacrifice fulfilling Old Testament laws. His shed blood covers the sins of all mankind who place their faith in Him alone, no works, not a church, not any other dogma or creed.

Jim Palmer, Boca Raton Florida   October 12th, 2007 12:50 pm ET

Ann Coulter has always been a Goose Stepping closet Nazi and always will be. Let's hear from her publisher and see if what they think. Will they start pulling her books off the shelves or is the almight dollar more important than spewing Neo-Nazi Fascism?

Robert, Westbrook CT   October 12th, 2007 12:50 pm ET

As so many toys from China have been recalled, is it possible to recall Ann Coulter? She makes a lot of money being a completly insensitive moron. Ann would like America to look like the 2004 Reublican Convention… hmmm. I say we drop Ann Coulter off on 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in New York and lets she how long it is she lasts.

Anonymous   October 12th, 2007 12:50 pm ET

She's pitting one religion against another. Doesn't every religion claim to be the right one? That is the essense of her statement. Deutsch feels the same (if his religion is Judaism and he is not simply talking about his ethnic background) only in favor of Judaism. If Christianity is south, Judaism north, Islam west and Buddhism east you can't go North and West nor can North say you can get North by going West. This is the way religion works. The only way to go North, is to go North. If you're Christian you don't believe in Buddah. If you're Jewish you don't believe Jesus was the Messiah. What she says makes perfect sense. Think about it first and worry about being offended second.

Ann Coulter is a clown. A dangerous clown. She is a biggot, a fool and a woman who will say anything for a headline. She would be insignificant if it were not for the fact that some people in America actually believe her. The Republican party should disavow ant statements she makes and banish her from the party.

Heather, Dayton, Ohio   October 12th, 2007 12:49 pm ET

It is pathetic that she would say such comments in an already judgemental world. I am a christian and I do not believe that it would be any better if we all were. The conflict and misery existing today is not a result of religion and what God you believe in. It is anger, mismanagement, and ignorance. I am embarrased that she calls herself chrisitan as one of the most important characteristics is being non-judegmental…only God himself should judge. And he will judge her when she appears before him. And for that I am sorry because her actions will paint her path for eternity.

Larry. San Diego, Ca   October 12th, 2007 12:49 pm ET

ALERT. This just in to Fox News, Ann Coulter admits to being born a man. Details at Ten.

Paul, Saginaw MI   October 12th, 2007 12:49 pm ET

I guess she is not allowed to think that her religion is the best.

How arrogant to think that Christians need to think all other religions are equal. If I thought that, I would not be a Christian. I would be whatever I thought was best. It is not rocket science.

But if you actually thought it through, you wouldn't get to hate Ann, now would you.

Who's intolerant? Her, or her haters?

Barry, Miami, FL   October 12th, 2007 12:49 pm ET

I've said this before: Ann Coulter is a performance artist who makes money at her art. Great people inspire though, not incite rage. There's more money in rage these days. Ann has the market cornered on that with the crap she says. Some people are still buying. Stop buying and Ann can fade away and go back to knocking people out of their wheelchairs and running over slow-moving pedestrians with her SUV.

I am an author who just had a novel published. Finding publicity as a way to get the word out for my book was astoundingly difficult. Ms. Coulter has found a way to sell her soul, err, her book, by saying hateful, cruel and ignorant statements for the Almighty Amazon.com Shame…

Teresa, Shippensburg, PA   October 12th, 2007 12:48 pm ET

Shrewdest woman around, her publicity just grows and grows by everyone giving attention to her poison. She is a megalomaniac who long ago discovered the quickest route to fame. And fortune.

How can you confuse Ahmedinijad, whose goal is the death of all Jews, with Ann Coulter's comments? Wishing people to convert to your faith is not the same as wishing them dead. Is it anti-Semitic to encourage Jewish people to attend your church?

================================
No, it's not anti-Semitic to invite them to church. What she said, (although, like others, I believe she said it only for outrageous affect) was that being Jewish is wrong and the US would be a better country if everyone were Christians. I would change it to "if everyone lived the true Christian ideals regardless of their religion" the world could really be much better.

PJ. Washington, DC   October 12th, 2007 12:47 pm ET

She is catering to her customers. People buy her books and listen to her because she says things that they themselves believe. Each time she says something outrageous she gets the free marketing exposure that any money-minded individual seeks. There are actually people in the United States that can relate to her comments. Our responsibility is that we do not remain silent as she and people like her voice their hate. She is hateful.

KN, Los Angeles   October 12th, 2007 12:47 pm ET

People like her with that mentality is what's wrong with this country. There's no difference between her and Ahmadinejad, just change Moslem for Christian.

Bottom line, if people stop paying attention to her, she'll go away. She's just crying out for attention. A woman who is 45 years old and still single? You just KNOW she has issues.

Another thing I am so confused about..is why people separate being a Christian from religion? I am a Christian and Jews are different then me? Christianity is anybody who believes in Jesus Christ. Religion is not going to get you to heaven..

It's people like Ann Coulter that continue to propagate the supposition that all good Christians are Republicans. When did religion become an integral part of the political discussion? Not only have the Coulters and Hannities of the world helped to polarize the nation politically, they have alienated the majority of "middle of the road" Christians, who make up the majority of the population. If Imus got fired for his comments, why is Coulter still on the air after spewing this nonsense? It's people like this that drove me away from organized religion in the first place. And while I still respect others' religious beliefs, even I am offended by her remarks.

Jean, Park Ridge, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:46 pm ET

The ideal American, in my estimation, is a secular American. One can still believe in a particular religion, but the American traditions of solidarity, liberty, and freedom of opportunity are paramount. The Constitution or its eventual replacement are laws of the land, not the Bible or the Torah or the Koran.

In response to the post By James, Cola town, SC : October 12, 2007 9:57 am:

I find your views dispicable. I have my beliefs, you have yours. If i came telling you hindu, wiccanism, druidism, judaism, or any other sort of religion was the one to be correct, you would think me a fool. As should I think so of you, however my views do not permit such. I respect your beliefs, your god, but do not directly follow on my own. My views are as follows:

I, personally, believe that everything is correct. That there is a power up there, whether one or many, that goes under the impression that all of its creations would like to worship it in their own way, shape, or form. All prayers, spells, etc get somewhere. As for atheism, my views don't conform to that but then again, I still respect what they have to say and respect their beliefs.

yet again, as I said before I am 15 but i can still carry an opinion.

susan. malvern, pennsylvania   October 12th, 2007 12:44 pm ET

Ann Coulter is a truly UNPERFECTED Christian. Christians read an believe both tesaments of our Bible and respect the texts and believers of other religions. Ann is narrow minded, biggoted and extremely rude. She has a great deal to learn.

Larry B. Orlando Florida   October 12th, 2007 12:44 pm ET

This woman is clearly deranged you can see it in her eyes if her statements don't say it loud and clear. I can't understand why the media gives someone full of hate and mentally challenged so much press. How is she any different from any mentally ill street person that can be found in any major city on the corner ranting and raving about things that make no sense? Maybe she bathes more often and dresses better but I'm not even sure about that.

D. Nunez, Los Angeles, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:44 pm ET

I think Ann Coulter knew she went too far this time when she attempted to "apologize" to Deutsch for her comments. This woman spits out vitriol from a completey Un-Christian point of view and with such a lack of intelligence or forethought that it is amazing to me that anyone gives her a forum in which to speak. She should be taken off the airwaves. Period!

Sindi, Oakdale, Louisiana   October 12th, 2007 12:44 pm ET

Congratulations! Somebody finally stood up and told the truth. God bless you! It amazes me how quickly people want to jump on anyone who stands up for the Christian faith, but if a muslim, or any other religion would make such a comment, it would be fine. Christianity teaches to love others, to serve humbly, to help those in need.
This is not to say that we're to hate everyone else. We are commanded to reach out and to love.
I John4:7&8 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love". So, if you just said it would be an ideal world if everyone would love one another, help one another, etc. would that be ok? I think so! If Christianity teaches such wonderful things, embrace it! It will change your life!

Eric, Neptune, NJ   October 12th, 2007 12:44 pm ET

Christianity cannot be judged because of one person, Ann Coulter. I don't follow Ann's history or what she has said in the past and I'm not about to call her an idiot, or even a nazi..etc. For any Christian on this post to go there is disappointing. For everyone else on the board, comparing her to Hitler is actually quite comical and I feel it to be misguided. A Christian's goal is to demonstrate God's love by loving others (some are better at that than others). I don't know Ann's heart or where she is in her walk with the Lord, but a Christian's motivation to spread the good news (the gospel) is out of love, that no one be lost in the fire, not hatred. Therefore to compare her to some of the cruelest dictators and mass-murderers of our time is out of line. There is a lot of hatred on this board and I think the people spewing it need to take an introspective look at what is really important what they really want out of life.

Jeff, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:44 pm ET

To those who say "don't pay attention to her" or "she should be banned" are missing the point. Whack jobs like Coulter, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, etc. should be given center stage at all times so we can incessantly point to them and tell the Religious Republican Right, "these people speak for you." But, too many people on the left want to be civil and "play fair" To hell with that. Make their words work for us.

Neilly Berkeley CA   October 12th, 2007 12:43 pm ET

i'm sorry but isn't this treason. its written in to our constitution that no religion will be assosiated with the government and her suggestion that it should (aside from being anti-semetic) suggest that christianity be forced upon jews could be considered treson. any opions on hanging or burning at the stake?

Robert Jay Greensboro North Carolina   October 12th, 2007 12:43 pm ET

Charlotte, Columbus, Ohio   October 12th, 2007 12:43 pm ET

She is a real you know what. She probably would have fit in perfect with Hitler's crowd. I do not understand why we even acknowledge her presence. We should ignore her completely. Not give her an opportunity to express her racist opinions. Perhaps she would crawl into a hole and stay there for good. The world would be better off without her.

Bill, Des Moines, IA   October 12th, 2007 12:43 pm ET

She really is such a moron. The only way to shut her up is to stop providing her a platform to air her views….no tv, no radio. Every media entity should boycott her. Let her sit home and amuse herself. She'a an embarrassment to all civilized, educated people (especially us Republicans!).

Jon, Los Angeles, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:42 pm ET

All of you are hypocritical. Everyone… I MEAN EVERYONE has a right to free speech. Who the He– to you think you are to limit someone from speeking. That is why I'm a republican. The hyprocracy of the democratic party is something I can not practice. When a republican hears something they don't like, they turn the channel or walk away. Democrats think they need to silence the individual. Huh… isn't that what communism is all about. So maybe there is a correlation. Democrats and communists. I love Ann and always enjoy what she has to say. Sometimes I agree and other times I don't. All of you need to think about what your true beliefs are… to silence individuals when you don't like what they say??? Then start wearing RED!

Chuck Roto, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:42 pm ET

Why are bleeding heart liberals and the far left always all so shocked? Don't any of you have any self-confidence in who you are, or any sense of humor or an open mind other than to parrot what you are told by your leaders?

Ann is being satirical and mocking all the politically correct, dictatorial, liberal, far left wingers who can't see they are just as guilty of the same very thing every time they open their own mouths.

Then they all upset and so offended when they get a little of it back? "What goes around comes around" applies in Ann's politically incorrect world. That should be obvious to someone who can see and think clearly!

For example, the far left likes to lose wars and make us into a wimp society that won't even defend itself. And they are laughed at and loved at the same time by terrorists around the world who enjoy their ability to freely kill us and intimidate us whenever they want.

Hillary and Bill, Pelosi and Boxer, and Soros are the far left ring leaders and the God-like figure heads. They use you like blind sheep to get into power so they can control your minds and make all your kids into far left liberals spouting the party line.

Liberals are the ones who are ignorant and educated to be far left parrots with no good ideas of your own except take away our freedoms and give away our nation's wealth to illegal voters. Then they spew hatred toward all those who don't agree with them and their socialist agenda.

Wake up all you easily offended people!

You are perilously close to destroying your republic and your freedoms and a democratic society in exchange for a state controlled, socialist society that will arrest you for the freedoms and the speech you can exercise now.

Free speech will become hate speech if you don't tow the line of your elected dictators and God-like leaders. You will have to whisper your likes and dislikes in the darkness, and be left standing in bread lines.

Meanwhile your God-like dictators get more wealthy and more powerful, because they know how to divide and conquer and get you to help them.

How's that for outrageous comments? That's what liberals do? And it's what liberals can expect for your future if you get your way and elect dictators.
Maybe Ann's not so outrageous after all? Do you get it now or do you still have your heads buried in the sand?

Minnesota   October 12th, 2007 12:41 pm ET

WGraham, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:41 pm ET

For those upset with Ann Coulter's remarks, please see John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave is one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life" This was a radical and revolutionary teaching at the time and still is. Ann is merely saying in her own way, what Jesus and God are saying. And no amount of umbrage or outrage will change the truth of Christ, which will be revealed to all in the end times.

Nick, Houston, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:41 pm ET

I think it's a little much to say the comments are anti-semetic. And for one commenter, it's not arrogant to say what the bible tells us. The bible cleary states what's going to happen in the end days. Jews are God's chosen people who rejected him. The bible tells us in those last days only a handful of Jews will be saved. The problem is..what is a handful to God?…Why do people who don't read the bible in the spirit always try to translate it? ALL people, ALL people from ALL religions can go to heaven if they accept the Lord as their Savior. Remeber God didn't separate church, man did. Christians aren't perfected. We still sin, but by the blood of Jesus we are saved. True Christians know that Jesus was humble and forgiving, he loved everyone and that is how we are suppose to be to our neighbors…neighbors not just Americans by the way. Yes this world would be better if everybody was a TRUE christian and did not judge or be smug about others not believing in Christ. We are suppose to bring anyone we can to Christ. Jesus didn't bring people to him by acting "holier than thou". So I guess it's better to say if everybody acted like Jesus, the world would be better. It seems everybody forgets there is more then just America in this world. We make up less than 5% of the population. I pray that she wasn't serious and that she prays for the Holy Spirit to lead her to the truth. I pray for all mankind to love Jesus becaue I don't want anybody to perish just because they can't see God.

Frank, Phoenix, AZ   October 12th, 2007 12:41 pm ET

The "perfect American" would probably have blonde hair, blue eyes, would burn books, etc. Hitler would be turning over in his grave to know that a perfect Aryan like AC would side with an administration that subsidizes a Jewish state.

Don Willet, Francestown, NH   October 12th, 2007 12:40 pm ET

News outlets, including CNN have to have the guts and the integrity to not give her a forum! She is obviously just looking for headlines and she gets them. That is not her fault its the media outlets that give her the opportunity to voice her crazy rants. If she was at home making these comments with no one to hear them they would not do any harm! Leave the crazy wacked out girl at home!

Mike, Rochester NY   October 12th, 2007 12:39 pm ET

The bases of the Christian faith is the belief that Jesus Christ died on the cross for YOUR sins. If you reject Jesus Christ and what he has done for you, then you will not be acknowledged by Him in Heaven. It’s not about your good deeds and being nice according to worldviews. It’s about real repentance and placing your faith in Jesus. Yes, there are rules, there’re called the Ten Commandments, but somehow people have dismissed them. If you don’t believe them, then fine. But get off the Christian bashing kick! We have the same freedom of speech like anyone else. No other belief gets ridiculed like the Christian belief. Jesus said 2000 years ago that we would be ridiculed in His name. He was right, and always will be.

Mike, Costa Mesa California   October 12th, 2007 12:39 pm ET

I prefer to think that Coulter is a brilliant satirist, not unlie Stephen Colbert. She pretends to be this raving, conservative demagogue but in reality, she's actually making a mockery of everything the neo-cons believe in.

I have to think that because if she really is sincere in her beliefs, that's truly horrifying.

Her comments are disgusting. In the year 2007 for anyone to be so narrow minded. She needs a course in the religions of the world.

She needs to meet with Rabbi's and go to the Museum of Tolerance and be educated about the Jewish Religion.
She needs to learn about the Holocost.

She has pushed the bounds of decency for much of her visiblity on the media stage and she has now fallen off the stage and into the sewer . She has exposed herself as a fascist sympathizer and exponent.

Hey Jon in Sacremento, hope you are happy to watch the needle drop to zero in the "Republican's Chances to Win in 2008″ meter.

FOR THE RECORD – I think all you Christians are wrong. Got it wrong. Elevated a prophet to G-d status and whipped up some nonesense about a virgin birth and the rest of the story.

Good thing for you that the G-d of the Jews is probably not in to sending everyone who is not a Jew to hell. That seems to be what Christians believe.

But always enjoy your posts.

Jim, Peyton, Colorado   October 12th, 2007 12:37 pm ET

Note the bigotry and hate for Christians. Christ was killed for expressing His message. Ann's comments were correct from a theological standpoint. True, historical Christianity maintains that no one enters heaven except through acceptance of Jesus Christ. Christians want everyone, including Jews, to be saved from iternal separation from God. Ann didn't make it up, it is central to Christian theology. Like it or not.

David I. Jackson Philadelphia PA   October 12th, 2007 12:37 pm ET

I agree with Ann Coulter. And the reason she made her comment is because she “is” educated. Our country has been blessed because we are a Christian country and founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and laws. Read your history. Then get yourself a Bible. Don't just read it, study it. Unless we remain a Christian country we are a doomed nation. The one thing humankind has not learned from history is that we do not learn from history. A country that turns away from its Judeo-Christian beliefs will fall. In addition, it’s time people began to realize that being Christian does not mean your are some country bumpkin that’s to ignorant to even know how to breathe. Donny D. insulted every Christian in America. If I were as ignorant as he, “I’d say Donny you are far too educated and sophisticated to be a Jew.”

Wow, so Anne is an intolerant religious bigot! Who would have ever guessed!

She can say whatever she like as far as I'm concerned. The only reason she makes statements like this is because she appeals to the knuckle dragging 28%ers who are Bush's BASE. Her hateful and bigoted statements resonate with them and this is why she will always have book deals and be welcomed at Fox News.

Jeff, Los Angeles, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:36 pm ET

Let's see…Al Gore just won a Nobel Peace Prize for his amazing work on Global Warming. Ann Coulter couldn't win an argument even if she had the facts to back up her ridiculous, gin soaked statements. Since she's always dressed for a party give her another cocktail and send her on her way, and focus on intelligent people.

Eric, Bala Cynwyd, PA   October 12th, 2007 12:36 pm ET

Well, here she goes again! Coulter does her best work peddling smut and insults to anyone who doesn't walk with her in lock step! And guess what punishment she gets for comments like this and about the 9/11 widows, more spots on television "news" programs and more books on the best sellers lists. It is time to shut her up. Stop using her as an opinion "expert." Seems like the only opinion she honestly has is how short her skirt is going to be on network television. Why not interview Rosie O'Donnell as well. She is just as credible!

Lisa Cleveland Ohio   October 12th, 2007 12:36 pm ET

If I am following her tortured logic correctly, Jews get to Heaven by obeying God's laws,Christians get a free pass because Jesus died on the cross, the "fast track" if you will, no wonder she behaves the way she does. I wonder how many Christians Ann Coulter speaks for.

Bonnie, Northampton, Ma   October 12th, 2007 12:34 pm ET

I'm a liberal and a Jew, but my reaction has nothing to do with either of those things: She has a right to her opinion, Deutch asked for it in his interview, and t.v. execs even make money by putting her on the air. It's the distasteful side of our freedoms in America. But, I shudder to think what it must be like living inside her skin… She's the poster child for the notion that you can have fame, money, brains and looks and STILL be nothing more than a miserable wretch. She's laughing all the way to the bank, but she's got about as much peace of mind as a snake oil salesman. As much grace and credibility as well. I'm just sorry this event reminded me that she exists.

Bill, Commack, New York   October 12th, 2007 12:33 pm ET

I'm glad someone is finally saying "Adam's apple." I live for the day when someone proves what I have suspected for some time now…that AC is a transgendered "female." Not that THAT would make her a bad person. She's a bad person no matter what sex she is.

John St. Louis, MO   October 12th, 2007 12:32 pm ET

This is precisely why religion is the WRONG answer. THe messages of goodness bastardized by whackos.
In another 1000 years, we will look at Christ the myth just as we view the Greek gods as myth. Its no different.
Listen, I am a recovering Christian. Brainwashed as a child, but fortunate to see the truth. You Christians believed in Santa Claus until you were told he wasn't real. While Christ was a real human, he could very well be no different than any other man. ITs just that you, your parents that brainwashed your young mind, and all of your insecurities about your meager existence have to be answered in order to give your lives meaning. If the religious were secure about their existence in this world and quit worrying about a pretend afterlife, perhaps we could focus more on fixing the real problems of this world. I think its a sham, and the brainwashed lemmings buy it , and the evil, self righteous profit from it. Have faith in yourself and spread goodness to be a truly good human being. God might just be an unnecessary, fear based, fictional middleman. But hey, whatever it takes your weak selves to feel safe. I don't care what religion our nations' founders were. It doesnt have relevance. Religious nuts have hijacked the founders' faith to pass judgment and try to make people think like they do.
Thats my opinion but I am humble enough, unlike many of the religious, to understand that I really don't know, and won't , until I die. The arrogance to think you know, absolutely, without doubt, the meaning of life is incredible to me.

Allan, Houston, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:32 pm ET

I just want to know what the Ann Coulter thinks if I told her that Islam could be taken as the perfected word of God as well. I am an athiest and really don't care what people believe, but Islam does believe in the god of Abraham. So, who knows what to believe, I just know that the bible does say that man can only be perfected through god, not through the Christian Right.

Patrick, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:32 pm ET

When are we going to stop listening to these religious nuts! At the root of the worlds most serious problems are fundamental disagreements over religion that will never be reconciled. if there is a god, he would make us all stop believing in him so we could consider living in peace with each other!!!

Colleen, Chicago, Il   October 12th, 2007 12:32 pm ET

People should stop interviewing her and then maybe she would just go away. My time is better spent reading about Britney Spears.

Nick, Chicago, Il   October 12th, 2007 12:32 pm ET

And this is surprising ? The news media keeps dragging this old nag onto there shows in hopes that she'll offend someone or some group , it really is pathetic that people tune it to listen to what she has to say , I lump her in with Limbaugh and O'reilly except swhe doesn't have her own show . I have a mind and can think on my own and make my own decisions as to who I will vote for and how I view the world . people that listen to her and Rush and Bill have problems thinking for themselves. And for this old nag to be talking religion is extremely offensive as it is obvious that her only belief system is rooted in the almighty dollar

Steve, St. Louis   October 12th, 2007 12:31 pm ET

That she could be called a "Best Selling Author" scares me. That alot of people find her type of rhetoric worth reading about. Makes you wonder what the world is coming to.

Paul, Seattle WA   October 12th, 2007 12:31 pm ET

Coulter is a nut job, in that I honestly think she has some mental health issues. What else would explain some of the absolutely bizarre comments she has made? But hey, comments like this get her in the lime light, which consequently leads to increased public appearances and book sales. Nut job does not always equal dummy!

Daryl, Pittsburgh, PA   October 12th, 2007 12:31 pm ET

Ann Coulter: Republican to the core! If it hates like a Republican, fears like Republican and is intolerant like a Republican, then it is a Republican! Ann Coulter happens! PLEASE keep Ann Coulter on the air to promote wonderful Republican values.

Margaret, Charlotte NC   October 12th, 2007 12:31 pm ET

Well it's Donny's fault…he's the one who asked what the U.S. would look like in her dreams anyway! I would prefer her vision to someone like the son of Michele Cossey in Philly any day.

It would be great if CNN and others chose to not cover anything by Shock Specialist — on the right or the left

Ann Coulter lives off this trash — if no one listens she will quietly disappear

Sandra Palmer   October 12th, 2007 12:31 pm ET

Ever since she showed up on the Today Show in a short, black cocktail dress (Hello, it was 7:00am EST!) and appeared to be high on meth while attacking 9/11 widows, it is hard to understand why anyone listens to anything she says. She is clearly mentally ill. Hate tends to do that.

Sania Hameed   October 12th, 2007 12:31 pm ET

Benji and Muhammed Ali Baba have it right. According to this beautiful woman's "fast track" logic, Islam is the Perfected Belief, since Muslims believe everything in Judaism and Christianity, respecting Abraham, David, Jesus etc as totally VIP prophets, and the Quran is really the lastest edition of everything else that preceeded it!

This poor lady is either ignorant, bigoted, or both. She respects neither her own belief nor anyone else's. I feel sorry for her.

Shaun, Eagle, Idaho   October 12th, 2007 12:30 pm ET

When did education come into play of religious beliefs? Are Muslims smarter then Paganism? This is getting out of hand, I support what she said

Holly, Columbia, MO   October 12th, 2007 12:30 pm ET

Again the Liberal media runs off with something, exploits and twists it to turn someone into something they are not. Ann Coulter is not anti-semetic. She is also not a trained Christiand pastor, therefore her point was not well explained.. but being a conservative christian I do understand what she is coming from. Jewish people still live under the law. Christians believe that Christ came and died for our sins, therefore, we do NOT live under the law, in fact, for those who do live under the law, I don't see how it is even possible to make it to heaven–even the bible says that not one person can live up to the glory of God. We are humans, therefore sinners, and if not for Christ, none of us would make it. But Praise God for Jesus Christ, who paid the price for our sins. Right on Ann–don't let the liberal media get you down!

Dan, Valdosta, Georgia   October 12th, 2007 12:30 pm ET

Wait – so Ann is supposed to one of these 'tolerant' Christians? Wow! Her platform for her hate speech should have been taken away a long time ago. Now that she is attacking the Jewish faith, maybe it will.

John, Toronto, Canada   October 12th, 2007 12:29 pm ET

This is in response to Matt Dooley. Please, find the transcripts of all Ahmadinajad's speeches. NONE of them says he wants all dead. He said Israel should be wiped off the map. He is refering to the state of Israel. He didnt say he wanted Israelis wiped off the map or jews wiped off the map. People creating "facts" cause too much of the worlds problems. Ahamdinajad is a loonybin but dont put words in his mouth.

rice, il   October 12th, 2007 12:29 pm ET

What a crock! She is just doing that to get her tired face in the headlines.

Rebecca, Tampa FL   October 12th, 2007 12:29 pm ET

Someone said this Thing has an "edgy sense of humor"?!?! This Thing is a disgrace to EVERYONE and is the classic example of how someone wasted a good education. Her alma mater ought to rescind her diploma/degree. As for her height of intolerance, it only reflects how low her own self-esteem must be. Christians…brings to mind that thought-provoking bumper sticker, "Who would Jesus bomb?"

Jill Johnson - San Antonio, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:29 pm ET

Thank you Ann! Based on all the comments here, I think you all have proven Ann Coulter correct in her statement that a true liberal cannot be a christian. And I think the liberals are proud of that.

Phil, Penngrove, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:28 pm ET

Ann Coulter has evolved into someone who just says anything.

"This is some fellow,
Who, having been praised for bluntness, doth affect
A saucy roughness, and constrains the garb
Quite from his nature: he cannot flatter, he,
An honest mind and plain, he must speak truth!
And they will take it, so; if not, he's plain.
These kind of knaves I know, which in this plainness
Harbour more craft and more corrupter ends
Than twenty silly ducking observants
That stretch their duties nicely."

From "King Lear." After this speech, Cornwall proceeds to have Kent put in the stocks. Too bad we don't use stocks anymore.

David, Beverly Hills, California   October 12th, 2007 12:28 pm ET

As an atheist and left-leaning independent, I am often frustrated and angered by the rhetoric, ignorance, insensitivity and hypocrisy of the Christian Right wing of the GOP. However, this attention lover is so revolting to normal and decent non-extremists, that I say let her talk. Give her rope. She is so out there, that she is her own worst enemy. Nothing we can say or do will change her. We just have to endure it until she has offended so many people that she marginalizes herself. Let her yap away on Fox News, let her sell her books to those few that she represents, and know that she speaks for a sick minority. And remember, if she was born anywhere else in the world, she would be just as extreme. Except she would be an extreme Jew, an extreme Muslim, an extreme Buddhist, an extreme Hindu etc. To fight her, is to validate her. Rise above.

J Eads, Simi Valley, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:28 pm ET

It is irresponsible comments like this by a high profile person in the media that inflame the passion and rage of radical groups throughout the world. Having tolerance means keeping your biased opinion to yourself! Everyone has biases and opinions. But opinions should reflect positive and constructive criticism. Not hurtful and maligning thoughts that teter on the brink of ethnic cleansing. Shame on Coulter! She needs a good Jewish shrink.

John Brantford canada   October 12th, 2007 12:28 pm ET

Ziggy, Cary NC   October 12th, 2007 12:28 pm ET

Yes she can be that stupid…and bigoted and ignorant. Those are the traits of a "true" ultra right conservative. Thank whatever god you believe that she and Rush Limbaugh will never concieve children together.

Michael, Hartford, CT   October 12th, 2007 12:28 pm ET

She is a sample of the so call "base group" of the Republican Party. If you agree with her, you know that you also belong in that group. Be like Ann a be a good Republican!

RBS, New Hampshire   October 12th, 2007 12:27 pm ET

Regardless which religion is being represented, the country was founded on the freedom of religion. That was one of the initial reasons that the American "melting pot" came into being – people were trying to escape intolerance and being told which religion to practice. America would not be what it is today without that freedom, as well as many others such as freedom of speech. So – AC can say what she likes, so can you, but as another commenter noted, it would serve us all well to learn to agree to disagree. BUT – people need to find harmony with each other, and stop taking every little comment as a personal offense. Finding the harmony will lesson the hate, which will hopefully will have a positive domino effect. Honesty, respect, and consideration to all.

Chris, Dallas TX   October 12th, 2007 12:27 pm ET

Okay, this is really what most nut job, Christian right, Republicans think but don't say out loud. Right wing Christian Republicans are never tolerant and would be happy with removal of all others in their way. Look at history in Europe, religion and politics never come to a good end. We are a very young country still to really deal with the ugly side of a political machine run by religion. Most of the sick/crazy people like Ann come from the sick and infected GOP, full of hate, bigotry and ignorance.

I find it hard to believe that in a multi-cultural world that we still have this type of nonsense. As a Jew, I am personally offended.

What I find interesting is that this "educated" woman hasn't read up on her own religion. If she had, she would recognize that Christianity is nothing but warmed-over paganism. There is NO historical evidence that Jesus even existed.

"Is it anti-Semitic to encourage Jewish people to attend your church?"

If not anti-semetic, it's highly offensive.

K.D.Fischer, Circleville OH   October 12th, 2007 12:23 pm ET

Education level and stupidity are two different things. Bigotry is born of fear and feelings of inadequacy. She is to be pitied. Ms. Coulter can believe and say whatever she wants, that is the beauty of our Constitution. Her brand of Christianity is a major reason that I no longer label my faith practice as "Christian".

Jesse, Pittsburgh PA   October 12th, 2007 12:23 pm ET

Mike, in response to your stating, "…if the whole world is Christian, there will never be any problem…", we have only to look to the Reformation to prove that you're a numbskull. Do you mean Protestant Christian? If so, what kind? The KKK are Christians, and we know how much they love Catholics.

Most of the extreme posts provided here show a deficiency in grammar, punctuation, and basic facility of the English language. How can we expect Christians to understand the intricacies of science if they can't even understand the basic elements of communication? To the less closed-minded but still languistically-impaired, you should know better. All it requires is a little conscientiousness before you hit the "Send" button.

Religion is a highly-communicable (and often deadly – ask the bombers of abortion clinics) disease, and Christianity is its most virulent strand precisely because of Coulter's aggressive attempts at Evangelism. Not even Jesus knew the beast he was unleashing when he told his followers to spread the gospel to the four corners of the earth.

R. LaScola, SLO, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:23 pm ET

The flap over Coulter has reached hysterical proportions. Every Christian knows of Jesus' admonition to go forth to all nations and preach the good news. Coulter is a Christian. Don't turn her into an anti-semite as the spinners surely will. By the way, she would also prefer democrats to be republicans. And Pelosi would prefer that everyone vote for a democratic ticket. Double wow.

Rose San Diego CA   October 12th, 2007 12:23 pm ET

I don't pay so much attention to this Coulter creature but this time she surpassed her ignorance and insensitivity. Why the media gave her a chance to deliver such callous views about other religion?

St. Mary Parishoner

Wendell Long, Maryville, Tn   October 12th, 2007 12:23 pm ET

America was formed as a Christian nation and should remain as one. Otherwise freedom will no longer be in America. Jesus Christ is the answer for the world.

r. michael rice   October 12th, 2007 12:22 pm ET

Ms. Coulter has proven by her actions that she does not follow the example or the teachings of Jesus. It is not what you claim to 'believe' but how you live your life ('by their fruits you shall know that they are my disciples…that they have LOVE one to another').

I'm sure she's a good church member and a good conservative but that doesn't mean she's a follower of the teachings of Jesus (a Christian).

She does not speak for God, Jesus or Christians. She speaks only for herself and her sad desire for attention.

Indianapolis, IN   October 12th, 2007 12:21 pm ET

After the interview she was probably out on the street working a corner or something like a typical, hypocritical, conservative Christian. I think SHE should be perfected by being humanely euthanized!!! Our society would be better off.

Brien, Groton, CT   October 12th, 2007 12:20 pm ET

Ann Coulter is living proof that the Three Stooges had children – although that is an unfair to the Three Stooges.

Dave, Denver, Colorado   October 12th, 2007 12:19 pm ET

Dear xii (or whatever)…

No, I wouldn't say "get over it", but I would recognize their right to free speech. I may get a bit upset, but I won't go postal either. Like I said earlier, what you believe in is your business…not mine…any other position is discriminatory or hypocritical.

What you would do? You only have a few options. 1) You can do nothing 2) You can voice your own opinions or 3) You can go bonkers and get violent.

I certainly won't choose #3.

Donald, Tampa, FL   October 12th, 2007 12:19 pm ET

I bet a circus somewhere needs a new Dumbo!! She looks like she fits the bill. No wonder the republicans are in trouble. They are supposed to be the "kinder, gentler" group, that is also the keeper of the box of morals, and they continue to idoloze an idiot like her.

Paul, Dallas, Texas   October 12th, 2007 12:19 pm ET

These posted comments are protected by free speech so why can't Coulter have the right to free speech. Left wing Liberals just blab and spue their lies and want the Right wing conservatives to keep quite. I am offended at the stupidity and blindness of the baby killing, abortionist, homosexual loving liberal attitudes and so is God like it or not, but I doubt that you will print this Biblical historical truth…

Savannah, GA   October 12th, 2007 12:18 pm ET

Ann, don't you get it – we're happy being Jewish! We don't need your saving – it's your opinion that only 'saved' people will go to heaven. Don't try and convert us – we certainly don't try and convert you – Judaism is probably the only religion in the world that does not seek converts and that is actually supposed to initially discourage converting. We'll stick to the Old Testament thanks. Live and Let Live, Ann!

Benji, Kent WA   October 12th, 2007 12:17 pm ET

And once again, the Neo-Cons shoot themselves in the foot. This country may be founded on Christian morals, but the most important Christian ideal is that all humans are equal in the eyes of God. Jews, Christians, Mulsims. We're all worthy of heaven.

Though, if you use what Coulter is saying about how Christians are 'perfected Jews' because we came later and follow the same principles, just expanded, then the Islamic world (which came later, and is another expansion of Hebrew/Christian ideals) is the 'perfect Christian.'

But that's only if you believe in what she says.

She just says these outrageous things for the attention in the press and to sell more copies of her book. Unfortunately the press falls for it every time, kind of like a little kid with the "got your nose" routine. I just wish the media would stop giving her attention.

Greg D., Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:15 pm ET

Ann Coulter is the modern-day version of Torquemada, the infamous Inquisitor General of the Spanish Inquisition from centuries ago. Give her a black robe and a bible in which she may parade around town, a torture chamber in which she may extort recantations of faith, a few funeral pyres at which she may burn the unrepentent heretics and she would take us right back to the penultimate cause of all of the religious strife that currently plagues us – Christian intolerance and their petty superiority complexes.

Roderick, Riverside, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:15 pm ET

The reason it's anti-Semitic is because she is saying Judaism is inferior to Christianity, by declaring that Jews are not perfect yet while Christians are. This chick is a complete loon.

Wilson, Charlotte, NC   October 12th, 2007 12:13 pm ET

Can someone please tell me which religion or political party was Jesus supporting during his days on earth? For me today's religions are not united because you need to be Democrat or Republican to be a good Christian… or worse than that, you need to be Christian to be a good human been? I don't see account in the Bible indicating that Jesus supported Roman's or Jewish religions or political parties. He just established one believe, away from those human made entities. Today’s religions are basically an extension of the false religions that killed Jesus in ancient times. Evidence is clear; they love to kill or support killings, isn’t it?

Bill, Streamwood, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:13 pm ET

Well who woulda believed it?

Conservative Republicans, the religeous right and President Achmadinejad of Iran have something in common … they all agree with Ann Coulter.

Cy, Hatfield, PA   October 12th, 2007 12:13 pm ET

This once again proves that religion separates people, it does not bring them together. every major conflict is because of this stupid fairy tale that people insist on believing. there is no grand plan. no one in the sky taking care of you. grow up. I guess santa and the easter bunny are real too right. god loves you but unless you do what he says you will suffer for all eternity, correct? isn't that extortion?

John McHenry, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:13 pm ET

I do not understand what all the comotion is about!? Ann is absolutely correct. Our country has never been great because of diversity. It has been great because of our like mindedness even though diverse. The country was founded on Christian principles and the farther we get from them the more problems we will have.
SO HURRAY FOR ANN COULTER for having the courage to stand up for what she believes. As I recall, Christians still have the freedom of speech in America. At least for a while!

Rachel, Los Angeles, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:13 pm ET

Being Jewish, I can tell you that my opinion is that Christian's are nothing more then those who have strayed from the true faith. I am a conservative voter, Jon in Sacramento, so you can take the assertion that only liberals will be offended and shove them up your nose.I am sick to death of Christians who just can't keep their religion to themselves and I am seriously sick of Coulter and her anti-semetic BS. PERFECT Jews? We are and always will be the original and only faith. Perhaps Christians need to be put back in their place. Not such a fun idea, is it?

Wow, another person making us christians seem intolerable to other religions first let me say Coulter's statement about christianity is false she called us "perfected jews" which most chrsitians are gentiles and are not part of the "chosen people" in the old testament. and we are not perfect, Coulter is a great example of that.

Joe S. Davidson, NC   October 12th, 2007 12:12 pm ET

When people truly believe in something, that belief becomes their own personal truth…in other words, if you don’t believe it’s true, you’re just going through the motions. In essence, to believe in anything is exclusive. If the Bible says that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, and I believe that statement is true, then I am also saying that I reject other alternatives that don’t support this position. It is impossible to believe in two conflicting “truths”.

So, I have no problem with people believing that the path they have chosen is the right path…otherwise why choose it? I also have no problem with people talking about their beliefs. The fact that you believe something is going to be offensive to some part of the population. I wonder though why some think that stating your beliefs is so dangerous that it needs to be silenced. There are fringe cases in every belief system, political system and social system. The danger is not in dialog and disagreement about beliefs, the danger is trying to silence those who disagree with your view.

Jay AZ   October 12th, 2007 12:12 pm ET

It's funny how religion makes people so righteous. It's not like it started any wars or anything…. oh wait.

Ken, Le Rouret France   October 12th, 2007 12:12 pm ET

It is easy to dismiss or explain away such comments coming from such a media shock jock, but she probably spoke her mind reflecting the way most of America's "Christians" think today. No wonder why the rest of the world has come to the correct conclusion, that the USA has lost its moral compass!

Bruce, Mt. Vernon   October 12th, 2007 12:12 pm ET

She is NOT a good spokes person for Christianity. Better off not paying attention to her big mouth.

Michael Wigen, Rockford, Mi   October 12th, 2007 12:12 pm ET

Coulter is, was and always will be an IDIOT!!!! Why does any station let her on the air? Why does anyone read anything she writes or listen to anything she says. She's a waste of space and she breathing air better allocated to someone who can actually think!!!

Albert Newark Delaware   October 12th, 2007 12:12 pm ET

How are these comments any different from what Don Imus said? Why is she allowed to stay on the air spewing her hate? All Hail the Grand Dragoness.

Ann Coulter is the Paris Hilton of American political punditry.

Ryan, Canton, OH   October 12th, 2007 12:10 pm ET

Ann Coulter is simply an amazing woman. Stephen Colbert can't even say the stuff she says, and he's doing satire! Of course white males can't really say anything too controversial. On the other hand, the stuff she's saying about Christians and Jews is all true. On the other other hand, her comments don't even fall on the political correctness spectrum.

Eric Reimer, Green Bay, WI   October 12th, 2007 12:09 pm ET

1254 comments and all of them have missed the point. Coulter is simply the symptomatic evidence of the total degradation of political discourse in this country. It sells to make outrageous remarks to the media and Coulter knows it. Her role model, Rush Limbaugh, learned at an early age that being a buffoon pays very well. Ignore her and she will disappear. We need to return to reasoned discussion of actual issues and avoid the polarization of our nation upon which Coulter feeds.

Paul Salem MA   October 12th, 2007 12:09 pm ET

To Dave in Colorado…this country was NOT founded by christians, it was founded by people who were escaping christian intolerance. Washington, jefferson, Madison, Adams, were deist who belived in the GOD of science and nature. And the plant is NOT predominatly christian, there are far more Muslims, Hindues and Buddests.

Craig Tuscon arizona   October 12th, 2007 12:09 pm ET

I am an atheist and i am utterly apauld by her remarks. So after she is done making every jew christian, were going to start on ever one else?

Georgia, Fairfax, VA   October 12th, 2007 12:09 pm ET

Well, if she's going to go with the "continuation of the religious testaments" argument, by her reasoning you could also argue that Muslims are "perfected Christians." I am sure this is what she had in mind, of course.

Mike, Wise, VA   October 12th, 2007 12:07 pm ET

I'm a Christian and I take offense to Ann Coulter. And people wonder why Christians get a bad name? It's political commentators like her who think they speak for the majority and have no idea what they are talking about. Christians are not people who force their opinion down other people's throats. The must practice tolerance and be humble.

American Citizen   October 12th, 2007 12:07 pm ET

Id rather America be 100% Christian than 1% Muslim.

Tom, Houston, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:07 pm ET

I'm not a fan of Ann Coulter, but really, her remark is not that crazy. There is A LOT of Christians out there who wants everybody to convert to Christianity and believes that everyone who does not accept Jesus Christ goes to hell. I have come across too many to list, but surprisingly, despite their belief, most are nice and pleasant people. Ann Coulter is not the only one, but she's the high profile one so get gets all the attacks. At least she thinks Jews go to heaven.

"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."

This actually makes sense to me based on my understanding of the what is written in the Bible. Now whether the Bible is to be believed is a different matter, but anyone who puts faith in the Old and New Testament would probably come to the same conclusion. Is Ann Coulter a an intellect ? Probably not, but I don't think she's a whacko. Too Politically incorrect maybe.

Daniel, Washington, DC   October 12th, 2007 12:07 pm ET

Another pathetic attempt by an individual who has nothing relevant to contribute to the dialogue by spouting outrageous and offensive things.

Andy, New York, NY   October 12th, 2007 12:07 pm ET

Well Well what do you know…America has started turning into a extremist state. The pendulum of time is swinging away from this great country of ours. We bring the message of tolerance and democracy to the rest of the world while we ourselves are going the other way… May be in a few years when some other country bombs us to bring a regime change and democracy, our children can look back and once again not learn their lessons just as their parents did…..

Chip Boise Idaho   October 12th, 2007 12:07 pm ET

Great going Ann! You explained it correctly. That was God’s ultimate plan which also says ” love your neighbor as yourself”. Maybe also something about “returning good for evil” and several other love your fellow man but that doesn’t mean accepting their unbelief in Jesus or God’s plan. It doesn’t sound like He left room to hate Jews or anyone else when He said that. Thanks for speaking the truth and being strong enough to be politically incorrect.

Brad , Edina MN   October 12th, 2007 12:06 pm ET

Everyone please ignore her. She will go away.

Stacy, Chicago, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:06 pm ET

It's time Ms. Coulter was perfected.
The bottom line is this is language of hate. We have enough of that in this society. The question I have is where are the protests? Ms. Coulter needs to be perfected…for good!

drew, NYC   October 12th, 2007 12:06 pm ET

She was obviously doing it to get attention and does not really believe that. Also, she is not an elected official (or unelected one) and represents no one. She is an author who has made it big and very rich by saying controversial things. Who cares what she thinks?

Ed, Leavenworth, Kansas   October 12th, 2007 12:06 pm ET

So I guess her idea of being a perfect Christian involves wearing skin-tight dresses, chain-smoking, all-night benders on Chardonnay, and pre-marital sex. (Her own words: Time Magazine Apr. 25, 2005) How proud Christians must be.

John Spokane, WA   October 12th, 2007 12:06 pm ET

Ms Coulter comes across as a ridiculous motor mouth. She obviously has a serious drug problem that has made her more delusional than the average religious nut job of whatever strip. Why the media weenies think people like her have anything meaningful to contribute escapes me. Unless it is to encourage blogs like this.

Bryan - Dallas, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:05 pm ET

Look, idiots:

That's why this guy had her on his show and that's why she continues to make news. That's why CNN put it on their website. She says outlandish and offensive things continually, and everyone continues to soak it up. Why are people so surprised EVERY TIME? All I see on this comment list are expressions of disbelief. Where have you people been? Honestly, what do you expect?

Joel Martignetti/Cranston, RI   October 12th, 2007 12:05 pm ET

Does she have a direct phone connection to God? She obviously does not know what a true "Christian" is….She is right up there with the president of Iran, the late Saddam and Hitler…if you are different than us…you don't belong here..we have ways of dealing with you…I hope that she (and many others like her) will some day see the error of their ways and repent…(or maybe the bleach from her hair has burnt out her brain?).

Servant of God   October 12th, 2007 12:05 pm ET

All arguments over Ann's comments are fruitless. All who do not enter by the straight gate (Christ) are theives and robbers. Make sure you enter through the straight gate.

Dan, Danville, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:04 pm ET

I’m not surprised by what she says, and others should not be either. Her statements simply reflect what Christians fundamentally believe – that Judaism is imperfect and only converting to Christianity will make them perfect. Indeed, our entire middle east policy is based on this premise in the form of making it possible for the Jews to dominate the region so that the Messiah will return. Once the Messiah returns then the Jews will have a choice- convert to Christianity or be sent to hell. You may think this is a joke, but this philosophy has been behind US mideast policy since the early 1900’s. Ann Coulter is simply a mouthpiece for this vision and follows a long line of such people. Nothing new here at all.

K. Swinn, Norfolk, VA   October 12th, 2007 12:04 pm ET

Christians are some of the most intolerant people I have ever encountered. Most believe it is their way or the highway which I find repugnant. When I meet a 'perfect' Christian I think I will faint on the spot and Ms. Coulter is WRONG, Christians are not 'perfected' Jews. I realize Ms. Coulter is basically a shock jock much in the vein of Don Imus or Howard Stern but just as Imus and Howard step over the line so does Ms. Coulter. By the way Ms. Coulter I practice Buddhism and I personally believe America would be a better place if everyone were Buddhist.

Colin Spriestersbach Mpls MN   October 12th, 2007 12:04 pm ET

It's time Coulter was committed to an insane asylum. She is a very real danger to America with her Nazi views. America is strong because it IS diverse. Boycott her now everywhere!

Curious Joe, NYC   October 12th, 2007 12:04 pm ET

This is what had always made the woman one of the most despicable people on the radar. She absolutely knows better. It's just that every consideration – faith, war, life, country, morality – all of it holds a very distant second place to her own self-promotion and, therefore, enrichment. She makes my skin crawl.

Michael D., Rock Hill, SC   October 12th, 2007 12:04 pm ET

Ann Coulter has shown her true arrogance, and stupidity by saying " Jews need to be perfected ". I am not Jewish, but who is she to judge a person based upon their religous beliefs ? Has she not read the Constitution lately ? I think there is a clause in it that states Freedom Of Religion. Besides that, it is one's personal, and moral right to choose what they believe. I don't know why anyone respects her big mouth !

JJ, San Antonio, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:04 pm ET

WOW. If that's what Christianity is, I'll pass, thanks. Fast track? To what?? Intolerant ignorance? Ridiculous. Ann, read the words in red a few more times. That's not what Jesus' message was. Absolutely abhorring, Ann. You should be very ashamed. Geez, even I'm embarrassed.

Patrick Frazier   October 12th, 2007 12:04 pm ET

elmerg, Colorado Springs, Colorado   October 12th, 2007 12:03 pm ET

Ann Coulter-

Official spokesperson for the Republican Party, the Fundamentalist Christians, anti-abortion wingnuts, pro-wrestling fans, angry rich old white guys, FUX News fanatics, and all those lonely young right-wing blogger chickenhawks tapping on their keyboards from the safety of mommy's basement.

Keep it up Annie babeeeee!

Is this what George Bush meant when he said people should be taught alternative theories. Glad to know in a perfect world everyone would be a christian. Someone tell the protestant and catholics in northern Ireland.

Steve, Lyons, CO   October 12th, 2007 12:03 pm ET

"The first sermon the church ever preached was to a few thousand Jews at a Jewish feast, telling them they needed to change their ways, because they just killed the promised savior."

Jews didn't kill this reputed Jesus guy. That was the Romans, now known as Italians. THEY killed Christ. To pretend that Jews could influence the notorious Jew killer Pontius Pilate shows what a fraud christianity has become. What happened was, the Council of Trent in the 4th century A.D. revised much of the bible, throwing out many of its writings and performing revisionism about Rome's role in killing this prophet.

If you don't know the history of your own religion, why not shut the hell up?

Italians killed Jesus. Live with it.

Garrett, Oakland, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:03 pm ET

I am beyond disappointed that Coulter is given serious air time to spew such an intolerant and ignorant message. Actually, I am sickened, as should any free-thinking, tolerant person regardless of their religous beliefs, or lack thereof. Coulter may present a more pleasant apperance than, let's say, an Islamic militant, but the message is the same – my beliefs are valid and yours are not.

Joseph Greene, Wellington, FL   October 12th, 2007 12:03 pm ET

The woman is an unmitigated bigot. She and her ilk should be shunted to the sidelines and their outrageous remarks and negative pot stirring be ignored.

Joe Bradley, Homestead, FL   October 12th, 2007 12:03 pm ET

As is the case most of the time "religion" is intermixed with "organized religion". There is quite a difference between someone who is "Baptist" for example and someone who jsut identifies themselves as Christian. A person who calls themselves Christian, usually non-denominational, believes it is their duty to deliver the good news or Gospel to as many "lost" souls as they can, so as to save them for heaven. Very simple concept: Jesus died to accept the punishment for our sins. It doesn't mean we can do anything we want with no consequence. It means that even as sinners, and even if we try as hard as we can to not sin, we are not perfect and we need Jesus' suffering to atone for our sins. Judaism believes Jesus was nothing more than a man that caused some trouble by saying he was the Son of God etc. and discounts the New Testament entirely. Christians believe as stated previously. When I visited Israel in the Navy, I found it strange that most Jews were not very "religious" they considered they Jewishness an ethnic description not a "religion". There is a small but growing number of Jews that believe Jesus was the Messiah they were waiting on. These Messianic Jews are probably closer to "true" Christians than most anyone else.

W.Raul Castro   October 12th, 2007 12:03 pm ET

I am a Christian, fairly well educated and this type of comments about Christianity are totally wrong. Unfortunatelly we have fascist Christian (most of right wings evangelicals) who have lost contact with the core teaching of the Bible, and they are promoting just a political agenda, which is conflict with the esence of Jesus teachings.

Jeremy, Las Vegas NV   October 12th, 2007 12:03 pm ET

I really hate Ann Coulter for being a hateful, rhetoric-spewing, attention-hungry infant, but, has anyone considered that her hateful rhetoric in this case is actually just Fundamental Christianity? And in that case, is it really Coulter we should be angry with?

my problem with ann coulter is that like deutch said she can't possibly believe in what she's saying, and that she's only espousing these beliefs of hate in a shameless effort for publicity. shouldn't we and the media, at some point, begin ignoring her? stop buying her books, stop booking her on talk shows? stop giving creedence to her asinine remarks? let's give this woman what she dreads the most – no publicity. any sort of debate on her comments is just as ridiculous as the comments themselves.

Tara   October 12th, 2007 12:02 pm ET

"

Ann Coulter is a talk-show host… a conservative shock-jock known to have an edgy sense of humor.

If wants to explore the "Christian" beliefs – Ann is correct. Christians desire all people to find "salvation" which is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as their savior. Traditional Jewish faith recognizes Jesus as a prophet but not a savior.

Ann was NOT saying Jewish people or any other faith do not have rights, value, or acceptance.

However – let the liberals commence attacking her.
Posted By Jon, Sacramento ~ Ca : October 11, 2007 5:57 pm "

It may be true that this is what she "meant" but its not what she said. She could have put her views in the same way you did, which is grounds for a calm and non-offensive discussion on religion but opted not to. I would consider the words and tone she used as somewhat aggressive and that's why people are "attacking" back.

Just my opinion.

She is coming speak at my school, Tulane University, and the majority of people here are appalled. And I'm sure that they'll be even more appalled after this because the school is majority Jewish. This speaking event was not hosted by the school but rather by the Tulane College Republicans. I hope that there is a protest or something. She is a horrible person to have representing the Republican party and if Republicans want some respect they should definitely distance themselves from her. All she does is spew hatred.

Chip, Santiago, DR   October 12th, 2007 12:02 pm ET

Way to go Ann. It's about time someone wasn't politically correct. I say let people "interpret" as they want, but I know exactly what Ann was saying and it is correct. A true Christian is a perfected Jew, but that doesn't mean a true Christian is intolerant of other's beliefs. The reporter intervieiwing him is such a "victimist" so common in our society. Heck, what religion doesn't think they have the "truth"? Ann just happens to be right. Go Ann!!!!!!

omar, edinburg, texas   October 12th, 2007 12:02 pm ET

she's just raking in the cash. whatever sells. she's a hooker. she'll do anything nasty or kinky to make conservatives feel empowered and right. white-power neo-nazis always talk about perfecting the race, what a strange word for her to use "perfected."

John (Beacon, New York)   October 12th, 2007 12:02 pm ET

OK, look … If you haven't figured out yet that Ann Coulter is an idiot, then I can't help you. The fact that anything she writes actually sells is a tribute to the brainlock of conservatives in this country. But at the very least, then – as a Democrat – I appreciate her reminding everyone where conservatives (and Republicans) are coming from. Thanks, Ann.

Tom, Naperville, IL   October 12th, 2007 12:02 pm ET

Your doing exactly what she wants you to do by reporting her comments. I really don't care what Ann Coulter thinks, she's obviously an idiot. She is just whoring her opinions for attention and is a completely delusional, dysfuntional human.

Why does this material get posted? How many times do you hear in conversations did you read about blah blah blah on CNN or online.

I hope researchers find out what kind of impact this is having on our children who were born during the first gulf war. What kind of insecurities are they going to have when they turn 50 and are our decision makers.

seb, palo alto, CA   October 12th, 2007 12:01 pm ET

Her pretending to be a Christian is an insult to all the real and true Christians of this country, who genuinely follow the teaching of Christ regarding tolerance, compassion, and kindness.

Sarah, Kansas City, MO   October 12th, 2007 12:01 pm ET

Thomas, St. Petersburg 'In addition, Ms. Coulter makes many valid points regarding the methods in which liberals are trying to change America into a secular society, which is contrary to the intentions of our Founding Fathers. Freedom of Religion does NOT mean Freedom FROM Religion.'

I love how the republican/christianists love to paint the founding fathers as these very devote Christians. Some were but most of them were not. They were believers to a point but that was it. Jefferson redid the Bible taking out most of the miraculous events built around Jesus. They believed we should believe what we want; be free to have our own views. Yes, this country was founded by Christians some of them very devote and some not. So we have freedom of relgion as well as freedom from it. Most of the christianists in this country are not a whole lost different then the islamists in Afganistan or Saudi Arabia. They want us to believe exactly as they do.

Ann Coulter: Evidently, she has been out of news for awhile and it was time for her to kick up some verbal dust again. This woman is addicted to negative attention. Supposedly, she is intelligent but when she opens her mouth all that spills out is ignorant BS. I find it hard to see her reading the Bible and being devote when she says some of the most hateful things. Perhaps, if she was not blond with long hair, with long legs in mini skirts, no one would give her the time of day.

Alexander, Shawnee, KS   October 12th, 2007 12:00 pm ET

So does "need to be perfected" mean we will be rounded up and put into concentration camps again so we can "become perfected Jews?" It is no wonder I own firearms.

Nathan, Houston, TX   October 12th, 2007 12:00 pm ET

Ann Coulter is a very stupid and dangerous person who incites hatred between fellow humans. I see her as no better than other religious extremist's who's views and actions cause harm to those only wanting to live there lives in peace and harmony. If she is doing this for 'publicity' then she has absolutely no morals and consequently has no religious values.

Julio, Garden City KS   October 12th, 2007 11:59 am ET

I do believe her comments to be anti-semetic. Her comments are againt a certain race of people, particularly their religion. But being labeled anti-semetic is not a horrid thing like the word itself portrays, she is entitled to her opinions. And diverse accepting America should accept them and label her as an intolerant person and not trying be made out to be some genocidal maniac.

MediaJunkie, Washington, DC   October 12th, 2007 11:59 am ET

I don't really understand what she's talking about. Whatever she was saying, she bungled it. Also, could someone explain to me the very popular "Freedom of Religion does not mean Freedom from Religion?" Because that's exactly what it means to me. If I believe in one thing doesn't that mean I'm free from believing in another thing? In addition, I don't understand the contrasting accounts of whether our forefathers wanted a secular society or not. It seems quite obvious they wanted separation of church and state.

marcella lancome   October 12th, 2007 11:59 am ET

I am a 64 year old woman. The Ann Coulter statements are too close to what Hitler wanted…perfected people.
The television stations must take responsibility for what Ann Coulter says. The conservative movement must disassociate itself from this womans' antisematic statements.

Wilson, Charlotte, NC   October 12th, 2007 11:58 am ET

Friends, there's only one reality that every one is avoiding. The 4 major World religions are currently participating in war (Christians, Catholics, Jewish and Muslims) and as far as I know each one condemn killing a human been. What puzzles me is that today’s Christianity practices are totally opposed to what Jesus taught in the Bible… Jesus was poor and taught others not to be materialistic, but today’s preachers are filthy rich. He said we need to love our enemies and one of the commandments clearly indicated that we should not kill and people belonging to the religions mentioned before are killing… Millions are spent in war while our elders are still working after retirement to pay for their medications. All efforts should go to make the World better and help the poor instead of debating which religion is better. Until now, none of them has proven to be the solution to human kind problems.

Mike, AL   October 12th, 2007 11:58 am ET

I'm all for free speech but the networks need to stop giving this hate-monger a platform to spew her hate.
There is no way she's a Christian…. or maybe she's one of those "convenient" Christians. She's doesn't practice her faith or attend church or even live her life to respect, love, or to be tolerant of others but she'll tell every one she's a Christian.

Dr. Jamie Bassel, New York, NY   October 12th, 2007 11:57 am ET

Ms. Coulter's comments propagate the very intolerance that our society attempts to prevent. Her attempt at explaining how her religious views are shared by others is a gross mischaracterization of the truth. Her comments serve no greater good and manage to polarize rather than unify. I applaud Mr. Deutsch for standing up for what he believes in. More of us have a responsibility to do as Mr. Deutsch had done and stand up.

There is a big difference between being educated and being wise. Wisdom comes from understanding of ones education. It is obvious that Ann is a simple wit. She has no understanding of things past, present, or future. Moreover, Ann is not a Christian and not to be idolized, as it seems some folks do. She does not determine what a Christian is or is not. Ann is gravely mistaken if she thinks she can throw up her hands as confess her sins and be saved. Years of negativity, slander, false truths, empty pride, vanity, racism, greed, cannot so easily be washed away. There is LIGHT and there is DARK and Ann has chosen her path long ago. I wish her the best of luck on her journey.

William, Atlanta   October 12th, 2007 11:55 am ET

She is trying to make headlines. She's a conservative shock jock…and it's working. Liberals go bananas over her and she wins. Just look at all the comments below. You are making her and Rush Limbaugh more powerful if you get riled-up over them. You have to ignore these people and Liberals are unable to do this…

Kerry Daniel, Asheville, NC   October 12th, 2007 11:55 am ET

In fact, America would be better off, as would the world, if there was NO religion, including Christianity. Religious beliefs are responsible for most wars and hate crimes. There is absolutely no evidence to support the existance of god. It's like believing in Santa Claus and Tooth Fairy. At least those two myths are mostly harmless, though.

Naeco North Carolina   October 12th, 2007 11:55 am ET

Coulter – what a nasty little nazi. How on earth do her and Limbaugh still make headlines? Oh yeah, many many rather dim conservatives actually listen to what these two idiots have to say. Unbelievable…

John D, Fairfax, VA   October 12th, 2007 11:55 am ET

Ann Coulter isn't really the smartest woman on the planet. Then again, I don't know why the media even gives her the attention she gets.

Rick Raleigh, NC   October 12th, 2007 11:55 am ET

I would like to know what guidelines the moderator is using. My appeal to others to listen to what she is ACTUALLY saying was stricken, while all of this vitriolic stuff is allowed. Can't make any sense at all of that. I guess there's no room here for someone who wants to be a peacemaker : (

If you're going to quote Rudolph Bultmann and other liberal Christian scholars, watch the "sound" bites and quote them fairly. In spite of the fact that Bultmann did not think it was easy to reconstruct the actual life and sayings of Jesus, he believed in Christ and trusted in the grace of God.

Manuel Gomez   October 12th, 2007 11:55 am ET

It would be a great help to humanity as a whole if the most powerful country on earth could find a way to separate religion and politics. Ann Coulter is a nut job, to be sure, and her words are hardly helpful in bridging the divisions among Americans. However, the real problem is the inability of politicians to preach and promote secularism, since it is apparent that pandering to Christians is necessary if you want to win power. Separation of Church and State? Where???

Bill, New York, NY   October 12th, 2007 11:54 am ET

Ann Coulter's statement is consistent with the historic position of the Roman Catholic Church, prior to the Second Vatican council, e.g., there is no slavation outside the Church. Many Catholics still beleve that.

Luis, Austin, TX   October 12th, 2007 11:54 am ET

The real issue is why is she allowed on coporate TV and why are advertisers on these programs insisting she be taken off or they will not advertise on these stations. If I see her on any network I will not view that network any more and let the network know that. If we all do this and let the networks know what we think this vile poor excuse for a human being will go away.

And is anybody really fooled by this? This is just another marketing tool to sell her books and keep her in the limelight. Soundbites are perfect for this. Out of context and at face value, she is what she is, a bigotted, white supremicist pin-up girl. But I'm sure a much longer explanation will be forthcoming in her new book entitled, "C'mon Jews, Join the Fast Track to Heaven". I hope FedEx sues her by the way.

…The reason why it would be better if all Americans were Christians because these are the core of Christianity's values: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

To "Me" from Fullerton, CA:

Those are not Christian values. Those are HUMAN values. Claiming them as Christian does not make your religion valid. Did those values exist before Christianity? You bet they did.

First off, I'm Jewish. I think that the attacks on Coulter for these comments are outrageous. Saying that you believe your religion is the best one and that you hope others will adopt it is not bigotry.

If you want an example of real bigotry, read the true life story of Al Sharpton. He encouraged violent acts against Jewish store owners in black areas of NY City, resulting in at least one riot and several murders. He referred to us on his radio program as "blood sucking Jews".

Or read the writings of Black Muslim leader Louis Farakhan, who also vilifies and calls for violence against Jews.

Ann Coulter did none of those things, and I dont even consider her comments offensive or ignorant.

For those of you who are railing against it, how many times have you participated in demonstrations against black muslim speakers who come to your cities and colleges? Or against Al Sharpton? How many letters have you written, either on the internet or to the editor of your local paper about THAT bigotry, which is often associated with violence against Jews?

Most of you who criticize Ann Coulter, both Jews and Christians are hippocrates.

Too educated? They're talking about religious beliefs. Some people believe one thing, others believe something else. Of course Christianity would be better to a Christian just like Judaism would be better to a Jew. I don't see the controversy here. You could call any Christian an anti-semite, I suppose, just for being a Christian. It's not about being PC, it's about personal beliefs – get a grip, people.

Oh for crying out loud… why does the media give this foolish woman a platform. She is doing the verbal equivalent to flashing her breasts. She has nothing of any value to put into the national/international discourse so she just says anything to be offensive, shocking and attention-getting.

I think if the media – and anyone interviewing this lame excuse for a pundit/writer simply treated her a comedic act and laughed as she shoves her foot, calf and leg down her throat, she'd be more entertaining. Or, the media could just turn away from her and find people with intelligent, constructive opinions and ideas… we are all BORED of the Ann Coulters of the world…NEXT!

Just more proof that Ann Coulter is willing to say anything to get a attention. She may the credentials of an educated person but she doesn't have the skills to use them as such. Instead she's tyring to be some kind of Howard Stern for the neocons. I'll be glad when she played out and long forgotten.

(anyone think it's possible the hormone therapy is affecting Ann's poor little mind. if you don't know what i'm refering to note Ann's adams apple and large hands)

Charles McNeil, Indianapolis Indiana   October 12th, 2007 11:52 am ET

Ann has it right on, although not the best delivery… We are put here to tell the truth, to Gentile and to Jew. It is not our job to force anyone's decision, but each person will have that opportunity to make their own decision after knowing the truth.
It is in love — we want no one to die.
This is a free gift that no one can lay sole claim to. And just like a discarded birthday present, the gift that is never claimed, is not obtained.
As is obvious from so many of the comments, some seem secure in their choice. I can just say, Choose wisely.

This is perfect. I totally agree with Coulter. This is what America needs. To be a patriotic American, you have to become Christian since America was founded on Christian values. The problem with today's America is that the Jews want to protect Israel at the expense of America, Muslims want to protect Arab nations, Hindus want to protect India, Buddhist want to protect Myanmar or Thailand. The only ones who care about America are the Christians. I would like to appeal to everyone reading this piece to embrace Coulter's ideas. This is good for America.

Shannon Shiflett, Charlottesville, VA   October 12th, 2007 11:51 am ET

christians are tolerant? ha ha ha

is there anyone left who doesn't realize coulter says these things to sell books? like deutsch pointed out, she is far too educated about democracy, american history, etc. to really believe such fascist things.

she really just needs to go away. we shouldn't give attention to someone with so little self-respect.

CMG   October 12th, 2007 11:51 am ET

I don't think she conveyed her message very well, which is unusual for her – love her or hate her. What she said is in no way anti-semitic. It is no different than any other religious belief in that if one is convinced that what he believes is correct, he wants others to join him. That's not hate – in fact it is quite the opposite.

However, her understanding of Biblical Christianity is not quite correct. It does not teach that all Jews go to heaven. God has a plan for restoring Israel but entrance to heaven is the same for everyone regardless of race/nationality, etc. Salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

JAG, washington dc   October 12th, 2007 11:51 am ET

Leave it to Ann Coulter to prove the words of Ghandi correct.

I like your Christ, but not your Christians.

Jay,Tulsa,OK   October 12th, 2007 11:50 am ET

Nothing wrong/incorrect with what she said. She was being factually accurate. and you can't deny that.
However, since we live in such a crybaby PC world she prolly should have just avoided the subject.

But deep down, you understand that she is factually correct.

Torsten, Clarksville, MD   October 12th, 2007 11:50 am ET

I think Ann Coulter is a professional idiot. How joke she is!??!??

Ken, Peterborough Ontario   October 12th, 2007 11:50 am ET

Just when you think her 15 minutes are up, she jumps queue with the help of the mainstream media and says something outrageously stupid. Enough already.

Stan, Miami, OK   October 12th, 2007 11:50 am ET

Do I fear terrorism in the United States? You bet I do! Terrorism in the form of Ann Coulter and her "Christian Conservatives." I fear them far more than I do Osama bin Laden and his ilk, since they don't have to sneak into the country to do their evil…they live her legally. Surely, Ann and her ilk, would have proudly marched lockstep with Adolph Hitler.

As a non-Christian, I respect the right of everyone to practice their religious beliefs….in their home, in their churches and in their lives. BUT, they do not have the right to impose their beliefs in my home, my schools or my government. While Christians may be the majority in America, this bunch of radical Christians are not the majority of anything except hate and intolerance.

Robert Dann, Bainbridge, NY   October 12th, 2007 11:50 am ET

859 comments logged as I post one more. I would be willing to bet that more Coulter detractors than supporters listen to her if only for an opportunity to fly their own flag. Essentially, that is what is sublimely wrong with this country. Sure, we have freedom of speech, as we should. Unfortunat
