Ann Coulter Outrage is "Hate Speech," American Jewish Committee Says
The American Jewish Committee on Friday announced that the organization is outraged by Ann Coulter's assertion, made while she was on the Donny Deutsch CNBC show "The Big Idea," that Jews require "perfecting" by becoming Christians. Coulter expressed the idea that
United States of AmericaJudaism should be discarded, that Jews required Christianity to be "perfected", and that Christianity holds out the unique promise of a "fast track" to God.
"Ms. Coulter's assertion that Jews are somehow religiously imperfect smacks of the most odious anti-Jewish sentiment. One would think she would know better than to utter such intolerant words," said AJC President Richard J. Sideman.
Ann Coulter is known for her unabashedly extreme socio-politically Right positions and to many she seems to thrive on being utterly insensitive to anyone who is at all to her Left. Even to her supporters she is known as someone who makes a career out of being offensive.
In the aftermath of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York Coulter asserted that the widows of those who had died were liars and mere instruments of the Leftist media outlets who were being paid off to spread harmful disinformation about the Republican administration. Her statements caused outrage and earned her a new level of resentment.
Coulter is also well known for labeling all Democrats as anti-American and unpatriotic.
Many of Coulter's apologists believe that she "goes over the top" deliberately in order to gain publicity for herself ("there's no such thing as 'bad publicity'", goes one adage) while also using extreme statements to counterbalance what she and those of her ilk see as a hypnotism of the American mind by too much extreme Leftism.
