Shame on Ann Coulter...
I really don't like her...I'm not sure if she really believes all the offensive stuff that comes out of her mouth...
Jewish Democrats in the United States have asked news networks to drop the conservative commentator Ann Coulter from their programs after she had said that Jews should convert to Christianity to be "perfected." On Monday, Coulter told CNBC talk show host Donnie Deutsch that her dream America would "look like New York City during the [2004] Republican National Convention. In fact, that's what I think heaven is going to look like." Coulter added: "People were happy," she said. "They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America."
Deutsch, who is Jewish, asked her if that meant Jews should convert. Coulter said yes and later added, "We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say." Deutsch said that was offensive, and Coulter later clarified: "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."

Coulter reminds my of a doberman bitch ..... bony, bad tempered and able to scare the crap out of small children and most adults.Her bite is mostly in the mind of her potential victims.
Even though her rants are sometimes mindless and misdirected she mostly directs her animosity at the right targets.
I do not like her bark or her snarl but I do enjoy watching the effect she has on liberal twits.
No need for shame here. Ann's comments were not even vaguely anti-Semitic. The problem is that our poorly educated populace doesn't know the definition of the word "perfected" and so they take offense, thinking she was casting aspersions on Jews and non-Christians. "Perfected" means brought to a final form or a completion, and that IS, as Ann correctly pointed out, what Christianity considers itself: the completion of a religious belief begun by Judaism. There is no implication of intolerance here - she explicitly states that a Christian world WOULD be tolerant.
