Ann positions herself for another best sellerI am beginning to realize what "crazy like a fox" really means. If you are prepping to release a book, what better way to get media buzz than to offend an entire religion. From a recent interview, Ann sparked controversy aka media attention by suggesting Jews just need some perfecting and they'll be as good as us christians. From a media release: Coulter's comments came during Monday's episode of CNBC's The Big Idea. "People were happy. They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America," she said. Deutsch asked, "It would be better if we were all Christian?" Coulter replied "yes," and reitereated her declaration again later in the interview, although she denied wanting to wipe all Jews off the map. "We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say," Coulter said. Deutsch, a practicing Jew, said he was personally offended by Coulter's remark, and she tried to defend herself. "I don't want you being offended by this. 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, [Rev. Jerry] Falwell himself said that, but you have to follow laws. Ours is 'Christ died for our sins,'" Coulter said. "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." Another Catholic group blasted Coulter's remarks, saying they "show profound ignorance of both religion and American history." I have to say I found this Coulter quote to be even more incredible considering some of her female supporters (Hi Denise) Ann Coulter: "If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat [sic] president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen." What do you think Ann adds to legitimate political debate? Is this just comedy for profit?
