Coulter Should Dump the Tough Guy Act on Jew Statement

I didn't want to misstate Ms. Coulter's response to her "perfected Jew" comment, so I have attached it for you to decide.

Back Tracking
Ms. Coulter continues to show her ignorance by now saying the perfected Jew comment she made was in the context of Catholic teachings.

The host asked her twice if she meant that Christians believe that Jews need to be perfected. Both times she replied yes. There was no missing context, no misunderstanding; she simply showed her inability again to say when she is wrong and try to get the facts right and instead lies about where she's coming from.

But as with Congressman Stark who said the military was killing soldiers for the amusement of the president, Ms. Coulter also stands by her statement and makes things worse by playing a Catholic card to defend herself (she is not a Catholic, by the way).

I mentioned the Catholic issue, which during twelfth and thirteenth centuries AD, the Roman Catholic church decided unofficially the church needed to blame the Jews for Christ's crucifiction. Antisemitism was a political issue officially, not a religious one and had nothing to do with Christ; it had to do with antisemitic Europeans finding a reason to displace and remove Jews from the areas they lived in. But what Ms. Coulter states is that she was talking to the interviewer in the context of Catholicism and the blame game.

No, she wasn't. She states emphatically the perfection idea is believed by Christians--in addition to being asked twice to clarify her stupid comments, she repeated herself.

Just Say You're Wrong, Dammit!
I feel as if am the only person who is constantly apologizing for things I do wrong. I know that's not true, however, I overdue it many times because it's difficult to distinguish the fine line between being right and being loved.

But when it comes to factual issues, I try to clean my mess up as quickly as possible. Anne can't do that probably because she has so much invested in being right. That's a terrible position to be in if you're in the least bit human.

Just say you're wrong, Anne, and stop the hrumphing for a while, will ya? Go have lunch, get your hair done (please) and back off. That's right. One of your elders is batting you down. You're not helping the Republican party.

Thanks for the read.
