Ann Coulter Says Jews Need 'Perfecting'

This week on the CNBC show The Big Idea, Ann Coulter said everyone on earth should be Christian and that Jews needed to be "perfected." She suggested that Jews basically just need a tune-up to get on what Coulter referred to "the fast track." Ever notice how she times these incendiary appearances perfectly to her book releases? Here's how she explained herself when Donny Deutsch said she sounded like Ahmadinejad: "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."Yet again, Ann Coulter has managed to say something dazzlingly, grotesquely offensive and shocking to many people. And yet again, what she's saying is, in fact, a widely held belief among evangelical Christians in this country: in this case, that the Jews are this close to being okay with God.Check out highlights of past press-tour craziness in this quote round-up or this YouTube highlight reel. You can't say she doesn't know how to work the game: her books are flying off the shelves.
