NEW YORK Appearing on Donny Deutsch's CNBC show, "The Big Idea," on Monday night, columnist/author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren't any Jewish people and that they needed to "perfect" themselves into -- Christians.
It led Deutsch to suggest that surely she couldn't mean that, and when she insisted she did, he said this sounded "anti-Semitic."
Asked by Deutsch whether she wanted to be like "the head of Iran" and "wipe Israel off the Earth," Coulter stated: "No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. ... That's what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament."
Deutsch told E&P's sibling magazine, Adweek, today, "I was offended. And then, and this was interesting, she started to back off and seemed a little upset."
Asked to gauge her reaction, Deutsch said, "I think she got frightened that maybe she had crossed a line, that this was maybe a faux pas of great proportions. I mean, did it show ignorance? Anti-Semitism? It wasn't just one of those silly things."
A transcript, provided by Media Matters, follows. *
DEUTSCH: Christian -- so we should be Christian? It would be better if we were all Christian?
COULTER: Yes.
DEUTSCH: We should all be Christian?
COULTER: Yes. Would you like to come to church with me, Donny?
DEUTSCH: So I should not be a Jew, I should be a Christian, and this would be a better place?
COULTER: Well, you could be a practicing Jew, but you're not.
DEUTSCH: I actually am. That's not true. I really am. But -- so we would be better if we were - if people -- if there were no Jews, no Buddhists --
COULTER: Whenever I'm harangued by --

I'd always given Ms. Coulter a wide berth on her views despite some of the bizarre things she'd espouse. Not anymore.

Sigh.
You posted a piece that used a transcript from Media Matters......and with that transcript, you made comments about Ann Coulter.
You see nothing wrong with that.
My God, I weep for my country.

Just what she said
Ann Coulter thinks everyone should be a Christian.
I agree with her.
I would hope every Muslim would wish that everyone should be a Muslim. I would hope that every Jew felt the same way. I would be insulted if a Jew looked at me and said “No way. He can’t be a Jew”. If he said “I wish you were a Jew”, I would be honored.

So is Ann Coulter some sort of closet Nazi?
Maybe it was taken totally out of context...the media is good at that.

The transcript doesn’t match what the headline says..... and it’s from a Monday appearance. If Ann Coulter really said this it would have been headlined across the country Tuesday morning. Then again it was an appearance on Donnie Deutch’s CNBC show (didn’t know it was still on).....

Once again I read the whole transcript and the lead in paragraph.
I can follow the train of thought but see others can’t.
Oh, well.

texas_mrs, it seems we were the only ones to catch the media matters connection.
The rest just piled on, as if they took their orders from the DNC.

Oh, please. Media Matters? Is this their “gotcha” moment for Ann, like with Rush, and Imus, and, and, and.
So much bullbleep. So little time.
“How would you revise it to make sense based on the contents of the article?” What a lame statement! As if anyone could “revise it to make sense based on the contents” of a Media Matters article? Why did you even post this junk?

Ann Coulter has really upset me this time. Not about what she said, but the fact she would lower herself to be on that idiot Donny Deutsch's show.
New book or not, there are limits that even she shouldn't sink to...

I have no problem with that, it is your view. But this is not the reason to CHANGE the original title of the article.
Especially when the original title already twists what has been actually said.

There's nothing wrong with what she said. Not from a Christian point of view. As a Christian, I agree with her. I want to see all people come to know Christ as their savior.
Am I a bigot for saying that? Anti-semitic? Nope.
As a Christian, I am called upon and strive to love all people (and I sin miserably here) and part of that love is wanting to see them redeemed in Christ.

This was posted after seeing the story on 'Editor and Publisher' which despite its liberal credentials deserves as much credibility here at Free Republic as, say, does the NYT.
As far as making you weep, it doesn't seem much to make you cry.

Actually if you really think about the whole thing from a philosophical point of view, there is nothing wrong with what she said.
Hey, I am not a Roman Catholic, but former teacher ( a priest ) tells me that he prays for me a lot so that I would someday join the "true" church of Christ ( which implies that I am going to a church that isn't considered part of Christ's church )... am I offended ? Not one bit.
He sincerely believes that and for that, I respect him, even when I vehemently disagree with him. He is after my welfare, albeit in his on (IMHO wrong) way.
As long as there is no coercion and threat, simply the desire to convince and to see me convert, I am tolerant of it. Such beliefs have existed since the founding of this country and tolerance does not mean you have to agree with what a person believes ( as long as you are not threatened with anything ).
So, to those who are offended, I'd say their concept of the notion of "truth" needs some re-thinking.

I completely agree. If you truly believe as a Christian then what she said isn't an insult at all.
Do people really think that missionaries aren't trying to do exactly what Ann just wished for?

She says outrageous things because it sells her books. Every time she says something like that it buys her a new house or a new Porsche.
Don Imus said something outrageous, and came away with $20,000,000, a 6 month vacation and a better place on the AM dial.

Seeing the two sources, Media Matters and editorandpublisher.com tells me to reserve judgement until I can see and hear for myself.
Two weeks after the failed hit on Rush Limbaugh, and you would trust Media Matters?

If you profess to be a Christian, you should be agreeing with Ann.
Christianity is the FULFILMENT of the Old Law (Law of Moses, aka Judaism). Christ came to do away with the old law. Read the book of Hebrews.
Coulter is right, from a RELIGIOUS perspective.
Media Matters is trying to make this a RACIAL/ETHNIC thing. Donny Duetch is clueless on this, hence his reaction.

So what’s the big deal? Naturally, Christians think the world would be a better place if everyone was Christian. Isn’t that the Great Commision? To evangelize the world. I am sure Jews think the world would be a better place if everyone was Jewish, etc etc

Yeah. I don’t understand why so many seem willing to take her statements, filtered through media matters, at face value, factual and not out of context. They’ve been trying to implement their own “final solution” to the conservative problem, lately.

Why don’t you trying to confirm from a creditable source before condemning on a report from a well know discredited source.
Or has rather-gate and slander of Rush of late taught us nothing

As you say:
If a Mormon prays for me to become a Mormon, how does that hurt me in any way?
The problem comes when someone clamps a hood on you and threatens to off your melon if you don’t convert.
