If I had said something even remotely similar to what she said, as a Jew, I would be hounded out of the media. It is only OK if a non-Jew says something like this about a Jew. I dont agree with her politics. She is not a real right winger, she is a fly by night book saleswoman who only cares about promoting herself. She made a big mistake in saying those callous things.
I dont care what others think of her. In my book she has said way too much...
Muman, you also felt threatened by Santa Claus.
What she said was stupid, but not anti-Semitic. You know, I know, we all know she thrives on shock value and saying outrageous things. That's her schtick. And the media does hate her--remember the treatment when she called John Edwards (accurately) a "faggot" (which she is?)
And I thought you were against cursing people and wishing death/hell on them. Why do you not like it when Chaim and I curse evil Jewish Nazis that want to destroy Israel, but are cursing this silly lady (who was one of only a couple of so-called conservatives who supported the McCain/Palin ticket and opposed Obama) for doing nothing more than making a silly comment?
C.F., Muman did not curse her or wish death upon her. He is offended by her statement and he is entitled to his opinion. I don't agree with him but I respect his perspective.
Thank you Zachor_Ve_Kavod,
I did not curse her, nor do I wish death on her. I don't agree with the way she comes across. She said things about the wives of the victims of 9/11 which offended me. There are many things she says and does I don't agree with. Her offensive statement was only one reason for my dislike of her.
Do I feel threatened by Santa Claus? Heck no. But I do look forward to living in an Israel where we have Jewish Yom Tovim without interference from other holidays. I have never had a problem with Christmas. But my problems begin when Jewish families feel a need to have Channukah bushes and presents under the bush, etc. Assimilation is one of my biggest fears, as I have said my entire family has just about assimilated. Jewish children must be brought up with Jewish holy days.
So basically I have my opinion of Coulter based on my own perception of who she is. Is she such a great asset for the right? Personally I dont think so. Her appearance and her presentation is pretty much offensive to me. I would not get along with a woman who acts like she does.
Once again thank you for responding to this. I almost missed it...
