"Speaking of distractions, I find it very ironic, all due respect to Ann, to get a lecture on race relations from someone who said that Jews need to be perfected"

Speaking of distractions indeed! The only distraction here Miss Acker is your bringing that up. Thanx for proving once again that liberals cannot debate the merits of someone's argument so instead attempt to discredit the person making the argument. And Coulter was talking about religion not race you intellectually dishonest cretin

@lifeisgood63008 To expand on what kbar8888 said, Coulter said in that interview that Christians think of themselves as perfected Jews because they have completed God's process by accepting Jesus Christ. Deutche was being intellectually dishonest by pretending to be offended as I suspect you are.

Classic liberal tactic. Change the subject and attack.

@LidiyaShadow ouch, butMydesign really made you look not so smart. It's like he's Ann and you're Tanya all over again! I'm so sick of people like Tanya and Donny Deutsch continually trying to take quotes of context to make it look offensive, just so it can go perfectly with your agenda. by focusing the attention from Ann's great points and their lousy ones, we can talk about how Ann is a "racist", while they are perfect little angels. how convenient. so typical and sickening.

Yes, eventually she started getting a little irritated by the intellectually dishonest cretin that is Deutsch who persisted to imply she was talking about Jews (as in people from Israel) after changing the goal posts from religion in order to get publicity for his dying show which went off air shortly thereafter. And of course he claimed to be unimpressed with her explanation; he could not have been more transparent in trying to make out everything she said up to that point to be offensive.

@butMydesign did you see only what you wanted to see? that clip was my first impression of coulter. she got so exasperated when donny deutsch started questioning what she meant. he said he was personally offended. they even went into break to avoid the heightening tension. btw, donny was not impressed even after coulter "explained" herself. there is a reason that political correctness exist. btw, contrary to popular believes, there is no such thing as "jewish race". it's a religion.

@LidiyaShadow She did not hesitate or even blink an eye in explaining her very commonplace sentiment, so I don't know where you are seeing this desperation. She was clearly talking about people who are a part of the Jewish faith and not people of the Jewish race (please tell me you know the difference) unlike Donny Deutsch and Tanya Acker were suggesting; what is "outrageously dumb" about that?

[LidiyaShadow]

@butMydesign "jews need to be perfected" is her exact words with regards to the religious context. yes, i watched the video, what she said (and then desperately tried to fix) was stupid, crude, and unnecessary. blame it on her lack of better word choices. although i do wonder if the outrageously dumb thing she says is just another ploy to gather media attention. very questionable.

[butMydesign]

@LidiyaShadow "'i never said jews need to be perfected?'" the hell, i just finished watching that video a minute ago! LOL.'

Her point was that Acker took her out of context in suggesting that what she said was anti-Semitic; any intellectually honest person understands the religious context of what she meant. Acker's point was idiotic as she slipped that reference in very ungracefully in order to...DISTRACT (the REAL irony here).

"i never said jews need to be perfected?" the hell, i just finished watching that video a minute ago! LOL. and what's with all these "distraction" blaming games? of course liberals do it, and conservatives too, and the soviets, and nazis as well, and every other political entity that had ever been in existence. gosh people, stop thinking that your own party is so pure and clean. -__-
