Slash-and-burn columnist Ann Coulter shocked a cable TV talk-show audience Monday when she declared that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians, and that America would be better off if everyone were Christian. Coulter made the remarkable statements during an often heated appearance to promote her new book on advertising guru Donny Deutsch's CNBC show "The Big Idea." In response to a question from Deutsch asking Coulter if "it would be better if we were all Christian," the controversial columnist responded: "Yes." "We should all be Christian?" Deutsch repeated. "Yes," Coulter responded, asking Deutsch, who is Jewish, if he would like to "come to church with me." Deutsch, pressing Coulter further, asked, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians?" She responded: "Yeah." Coulter deflected Deutsch's assertion that her comments were anti-Semitic, matter-of-factly telling the show's obviously upset host, "That is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews." The show transcript of their conversation about Jews appears below: DEUTSCH: Let me ask you a question. We're going to get off strengths and weakness for a second. If you had your way, and all of your — forget that any of them — COULTER: I like this. DEUTSCH: — are calculated marketing teases, and your dreams, which are genuine, came true having to do with immigration, having to do with women's — with abortion — what would this country look like? COULTER: UMMMMM (pause) ... It would look like New York City during the Republican National Convention. In fact, that's what I think heaven is going to look like. DEUTSCH: And what did that look like? COULTER: Happy, joyful Republicans in the greatest city in the world. DEUTSCH: No, no, no, no, but I'm talking about this country. You don't want to make this country — it's not about Republicans. I'm saying, what would the fabric of this country look like? Forget that the Republicans would be running the show. COULTER: Well, everyone would root for America, the Democratic Party would look like Joe Lieberman, the Republican Party would look like Duncan Hunter — DEUTSCH: No, no, no, I don't want — I'm not talking about politically the landscape. What would our — would we be safer? Would people be happier? Would they be more — COULTER: We would be a lot safer. DEUTSCH: Would there be more tolerance? Would there be — would women be happier, would the races get along better? The Ann Coulter subscription — prescription. What — tell me what would be different in our fabric of country, because — COULTER: Well, all of those things. DEUTSCH: I can give — I can give you an argument there would be more divisiveness, that there would be more hate — COULTER: Oh, no. DEUTSCH: That there would be a bigger difference between the rich and the poor, a lot of other — tell me what — why this would be a better world? Let's give you — I'm going to give you — say this is your show. COULTER: Well, OK, take the Republican National Convention. People were happy. They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America, they — 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 — DEUTSCH: — in this country? You can't believe that. COULTER: — you know, liberals on diversity — DEUTSCH: Here you go again. COULTER: No, it's true. I give all of these speeches at megachurches across America, and the one thing that's really striking about it is how utterly, completely diverse they are, and completely unself-consciously. You walk past a mixed-race couple in New York, and it's like they have a chip on their shoulder. They're just waiting for somebody to say something, as if anybody would. And — DEUTSCH: I don't agree with that. I don't agree with that at all. Maybe you have the chip looking at them. I see a lot of interracial couples, and I don't see any more or less chips there either way. That's erroneous. COULTER: No. In fact, there was an entire "Seinfeld" episode about Elaine and her boyfriend dating because they wanted to be a mixed-race couple, so you're lying. DEUTSCH: Oh, because of some "Seinfeld" episode? OK. COULTER: But yeah, I think that's reflective of what's going on in the culture, but it is completely striking that at these huge megachurches — the idea that, you know, the more Christian you are, the less tolerant you would be is preposterous. DEUTSCH: That isn't what I said, but you said I should not — we should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians, then, or — COULTER: Yeah. DEUTSCH: Really? COULTER: Well, it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track. DEUTSCH: Really? COULTER: Yeah. You have to obey. DEUTSCH: You can't possibly believe that. COULTER: Yes. DEUTSCH: You can't possibly — you're too educated, you can't — you're like my friend in — COULTER: Do you know what Christianity is? We believe your religion, but you have to obey. DEUTSCH: No, no, no, but I mean — COULTER: We have the fast-track program. DEUTSCH: Why don't I put you with the head of Iran? I mean, come on. You can't believe that. COULTER: The head of Iran is not a Christian. DEUTSCH: No, but in fact, "Let's wipe Israel" — COULTER: I don't know if you've been paying attention. DEUTSCH: "Let's wipe Israel off the earth." I mean, what, no Jews? COULTER: No, we think — we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. DEUTSCH: Wow, you didn't really say that, did you? COULTER: Yes. That is 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: In my old days, I would have argued — when you say something absurd like that, there's no — COULTER: What's absurd? DEUTSCH: Jews are going to be perfected. I'm going to go off and try to perfect myself — COULTER: Well, that's what the New Testament says. DEUTSCH: Ann Coulter, author of "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans," and if Ann Coulter had any brains, she would not say Jews need to be perfected. I'm offended by that personally. And we'll have more "Big Idea" when we come back. (BREAK) DEUTSCH: Welcome back to "The Big Idea." During the break, Ann said she wanted to explain her last comment. So I'm going to give her a chance. So you don't think that was offensive? COULTER: No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be. 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, you know, 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: You said — your exact words were, "Jews need to be perfected." Those are the words out of your mouth. COULTER: No, I'm saying that's what a Christian is. DEUTSCH: But that's what you said — don't you see how hateful, how anti-Semitic — COULTER: No! DEUTSCH: How do you not see? You're an educated woman. How do you not see that? COULTER: That isn't hateful at all. DEUTSCH: But that's even a scarier thought. OK — COULTER: No, no, no, no, no. 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 (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. DEUTSCH: We will let the audience decide then, won't we? Ann Coulter. New book. More "Big Idea" straight ahead.

I am not a Coulter fan, but I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. All Christians believe everyone needs to receive Christ as Messiah to be with the Father, except these end-times Hagee nutjobs. I would have picked better terminology than she did to explain this, but that's all she meant, it appears to me. Any truly religious Jew would understand this, it's only the liberal lefty ones who have a cow over what she said. But they are theological idiots anyway, so who the hell cares. They bitch and moan every day about something.
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... HAH! The stupid bitch finally went too far! She heard that stuff about herself so much that she actually started to believe that she could say anything! First rule of show biz, Ann. Don't let your reviews go to your head! Buh bye Annie!
"Mega" churches are vehicles used by zionazi propagandists, like Coulter and Hagee, where well intentioned people are convinced of non-scriptural lies like the rapture theory and the validity of the Jewish "State of Israel". These lies are then used to create a financial and political force with a great deal of clout without which the current spate of middle-eastern genocide would be impossible. Coulter's vindictive outbursts reveal that she (he ?) is obviously a psychopath. Not only that but she's ignorant as well. Judeo-Christianity is an oxymoron promoted by those with a zionazi agenda, contrary to scripture. The Israelites that left Egypt under the leadership of Moses have no ethnic relationship to modern Jewry at all. The religious claims made outwardly by a primarily atheistic cult called Jews are not understood by Christians that attend 501(c)(3) STATE CHURCHES. The Jewish [BABYLONIAN] Talmud is anti-everyone "but" Jews, with a special hatred for Christians that finds its root origin at the crucifixion. To witness one group (Christians) blindly supporting another (Jews) that only has their destruction in mind, is the epotomy of irony. Stupidity coupled with arrogance is a dangerous combination.

LOL! Ann how about Iranians? Should they also get a chance to become Christians, or should we just bomb them as you stated on TV? This woman would say and probably do anything for a buck. She is a glorified prostitute. If Satan would have a bride, she would be it.
God is always good!
The fun part is she tried to get him to back off while they were on station break and instead he went after her with hammer and tongs. She is a total nazi pig, and she finally went too far. Some nutcase Christians can refuse to admit that is what they feel all they like, but it is just like finally getting Cheney to admit they attacked Iraq because they felt like it and wanted the oil. Which he, more or less, has. And now his little buddies are working for Guiliani. Funny how that works.
Honi soit qui mal y pense
How do we "know this" ?
"The mighty are only mighty because we are on our knees. Let us rise!" --Camille Desmoulins
This lady, by virtue of her education level, is supposed to be quite fluent in the king's English. "It came out wrong" or "She meant this" can not extract her from this one.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition Actually, we don't. The important thing is, it will almost certainly irritate her whether people believe it or defend her against it. So, let's discuss it and, the more the merrier so that Ann is sure to hear about it!
You are pretty clueless. I just explained above, that it's only recent that some "Christians", as in the end- time morons adopted the "all Jews are going to heaven because of their bloodline" crap. If you think Christians ever were to believe in racial salvation, than you might want to get educated. And no, I am not a Coulter fan, I rarely pay any attention to her.
Swimming around in my bourbon highball..... I believe that (m)Ann just runs this stuff out for the attention, and the hope that it will sell whatever of her dopey books that is out at the moment. God only knows if she truly believes half of what she says...
