Some criticize Ann Coulter’s Statements

In an October 15th 2007 “New Man Report” Drew Dyck addressed a statement made by Ann Coulter. While being interviewed by CNBC host Donny Deutsch, who asked her what her ideal America would look like, she responded that everyone would be Christian. Deutsch, a Jew, took exception. ““It would be better if we were all Christian?” he asked incredulously.” [directly from Mr. Dyck’s article].

The “New Man Report ended by stated that “Coulter’s biggest error was probably one of judgment.” And that, “we should watch our words carefully”. I submitted my comments to his article as follows:

“The press, the Jew that took exception, and Drew Dyck all missed to real point. She said that she would like to see all America Christian. The fact that a Jew took exception then changed the focus, then the important thing became that a Jew was offended. In today's PC world we are not allowed to say anything that offends someone else and it is especially the case when it comes to offending a Jew. This is nothing new, John 7:13 “Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews”. Ann Coulter's comment that "Christians are merely “perfected Jews”" is actually incorrect, but I am not going to join others in throwing stones at someone that would like to see all of America Christian. That my friends is what is important!” and also submitted:

“I fail to understand what Ann Coulter said that could be considered unkind. Is it unkind to desire all America to be Christian?? I believe that it would be far more unkind to let the lost die in their sins without Christ.”

Some of the comments that others sent in suggested that her statements were hateful or at least unkind. She was honest and was not being unkind to anyone. There is something wrong when it is perfectly alright to speak all manner of evil about Christ and His followers, but we dare not say anything that might in any way offend anyone else. #
