Ann Coulter is frantically trying to cover her scrawny ass about her blatant
anti-Semitism, but it isn't working.
She just keeps digging the hole she's in, deeper and deeper.
Meanwhile, her phanbois will believe anything she says, no matter how false.
And Coulter is laughing at the phanbois all the way to the bank.
Coulter on her controversial comments regarding Jews and Christians:
The "irreligious" are "trying to stir up trouble with the religious"
Summary: Responding to Alan Colmes' questioning about her comment that
Christians "just want Jews to be perfected," Ann Coulter said that she "wear
[s]" criticism from Jewish groups over the remark "as a badge of honor,"
adding, "The point is: This is the same old fight we see all the time with the
irreligious trying to stir up trouble with the religious." Responding to
Colmes' assertion that Coulter "doesn't want to own up to" her statement,
Coulter said: "I gave a beautiful description of the Old Testament and the New
Testament, but it's very frightening to secularists."
On the October 30 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Alan Colmes
said to his guest, conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter: "I haven't
spoken to you since you made your infamous comment saying that people like me
need to be 'perfected,' " adding, "So how about embracing one of the great
Christian virtues, as Jesus discussed, humility, and apologizing to all those
people you offended by that comment?" Colmes was referring to Coulter's
statement, documented by Media Matters for America, on the October 8 edition of
CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch that "we" Christians "just want Jews to
be perfected." Responding to Colmes, Coulter stated: "[I]f you're going to go
around citing all the people I have offended, Alan, I have 1,000 Orthodox
rabbis supporting me." Later, Colmes asserted: "You claim 1,000 Orthodox rabbis
support you. I don't know who they are, but I can tell you, you know the
Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Congress, and many others have
condemned you for that. Do you care?" Coulter responded: "I wear it as a badge
of honor. It's like citing the National Organization of Women to tell me how
all women feel. The point is: This is the same old fight we see all the time
with the irreligious trying to stir up trouble with the religious."
Coulter's response on Hannity & Colmes echoes remarks she made on the October
15 broadcast of Townhall Radio's The Michael Medved Show, where -- as Media
Matters documented -- she claimed: "This is just the irreligious against the
religious," while responding to criticism surrounding her comments on The Big
Story. Coulter made a similar statement later that same evening on Fox News'
The O'Reilly Factor, as Media Matters also documented.
Coulter's assertion that "I have 1,000 Orthodox Jews supporting me" is an
apparent reference to an October 15 article published on LifeSiteNews.com -- a
"non-profit Internet service dedicated to issues of culture, life, and family"
that "emphasizes the social worth of traditional Judeo-Christian principles" --
which quoted Rabbi Yehuda Levin, a spokesman for the Rabbinical Alliance for
America and the Union of Orthodox Rabbis of the United States and Canada,
saying: "She said nothing that in any way indicates anti-Semitism." The article
characterized Levin as a "spokesman for some 1000 orthodox rabbis" and also
quoted him as saying: "It is a fact that millions of Christians believe in
evangelizing and preaching the gospel and it is their belief for a Jew to
accept the tenets of Christianity and accept the divinity somehow completes
them and brings them to perfection," and noted that "Levin stressed, 'That's
obviously not our belief, that's not the traditional Jewish belief at all.'"
During the show, following Colmes' assertion that Coulter "doesn't want to own
up to" her October 8 statement, Coulter said: "I gave a beautiful description
of the Old Testament and the New Testament, but it's very frightening to
secularists."
From the October 30 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
COLMES: I hate to break this up, but I haven't spoken to you since you made
your infamous comment saying that people like me need to be "perfected." And so
I want to give you an opportunity here, because as my good friend, the
conservative rabbi Shmuley Boteach points out, Jesus was the faith practiced --
or Judaism, the faith practiced by Jesus for most of his life, his entire
life, actually --
COULTER: Right.
COLMES: -- and he declares in Matthew that whoever goes against the smallest of
the laws of Moses, teaching men to do the same will be named least in the
kingdom of Heaven, but he who keeps the law of Moses, teaching others to keep
them, will be named great in the kingdom of Heaven.
COULTER: Right.
COLMES: So, as Jesus said, the meek, not the rude and arrogant, will inherit
the Earth. So how about embracing one of the great Christian virtues, as Jesus
discussed, humility, and apologizing to all those people you offended by that
comment?
COULTER: For one thing, I guess I'm once again responding to the headlines
you've read about me, as opposed to what I actually said, because what you just
quoted is precisely what I said, that Christians believe all of the Old
Testament, that we consider our testament the continuation, the messiah you are
anticipating in your testament.
And if you're going to go around citing all the people I have offended, Alan, I
have 1,000 Orthodox rabbis supporting me. It appears to be the same people who
hate [conservative radio host] Dennis Prager, who were upset about my remarks.
All of these organizations based on, you know -- you know, being Jewish, being
Muslim, being a woman, they represent Jews the way the National Organization
for Women represents women.
COLMES: Ann, I'm up against a break here, but I'm going to challenge your
assertion about how much of the Jewish community actually supports you when we
get back, which I'm sure you'd like to waive that and say that that's what's
going on --
COULTER: Religious Jewish community.
COLMES: We'll pick it up in a moment. More with Ann Coulter right after the
break.
[...]
COLMES: We're back with Ann Coulter. You claim 1,000 Orthodox rabbis support
you. I don't know who they are, but I can tell you, you know, the Anti-
Defamation League, the American Jewish Congress, and many others have condemned
you for that. Do you care?
COULTER: Yeah, the Anti-Defamation League condemns Dennis Prager. I wear it as
a badge of honor. It's like citing the National Organization of Women to tell
me how all women feel. The point is: This is the same old fight we see all the
time with the irreligious trying to stir up trouble with the religious.
Yes, godless liberals are upset that other people believe in God. This is the
exact same thing we saw with George Bush speaking at Bob Jones University. And
suddenly, The New York Times was offended on behalf of Catholics, because of
some untoward remarks the original Bob Jones had made about the Catholic
Church, not as bad as what the New York Times had said about the Catholic
Church, I might add, and religious people just don't fall for it. We know the
real enemy are secularists.
COLMES: So all the Jews offended, upset and hurt by what you said, because
words do hurt and they do sting, all those Jews, the ADL, the National --
COULTER: You don't even know what words I've said, since --
COLMES: -- let me get -- let me get my question out --
COULTER: -- you don't even know what words I said --
COLMES: -- all those people are irreligious? They lack religion, right, Ann?
COULTER: -- from the beginning part of what I said.
COLMES: They lack religion, all those people?
COULTER: No, I'm saying what this fight is about. You don't even know what
words I said, based on what you apparently thought was contrary to something I
had said.
COLMES: Ann, I know exactly what you said. You don't want to own up to it.
COULTER: I recommend -- no, you don't --
COLMES: You don't want to acknowledge the reaction to it.
COULTER: I said that the New Testament is the continuation of the Old
Testament, that Christians believe that Jews who practice the Old Testament go
to Heaven. Our testament is the fast track, because we have the messiah that is
the anticipated throughout the Old Testament.
And as someone said -- I heard it was [former Israeli leader] Menachem Begin, I
don't know if it is -- someone asked him, "If you meet the messiah on Earth,
what would you say to him?" And he said, "I'd say, 'Is this your first time?' "
That's what the whole Old Testament is anticipating. Some messiah. They think
we got the wrong guy. I gave a beautiful description of the Old Testament and
the New Testament, but it's very frightening to secularists.
COLMES: No, you use the classic language of anti-Semitism. However, let me move
on here because there are lots of other things to talk about.
COULTER: What, like 'Good evening?'
COLMES: Let's get back to Nancy Pelosi. No, it's the classic language of anti-
Semitism. You said in the past that women should be armed --
COULTER: How about eating soup? Is that a classic food of anti-Semites?
COLMES: Yeah, that's lovely, Ann. I'm going to move on in spite of yourself,
and maybe save you from saying something else that's ridiculous.
