I absolutely love this woman. Not because she is always right. Not because she is particularly eloquent. Not even because she is particularly learned or educated. The reason I admire Ann Coulter is because she says what she believes without fear of contempt.
Her recent comments regarding Jews have elicited quite a bit of controversy, even from fellow conservatives such as Michael Savage. Her liberal-minded detractors are doing their utmost to turn this into a case of anti-Semitism, which is quite laughable, as Ann Coulter’s comments constitute nothing more than a disagreement on religious beliefs.
The last time I checked, disagreeing with someone’s religious beliefs was considered protected speech. There is nothing hateful in wishing for the conversion of the Jews to Christ. Paul of Tarsus, a Jew by birth, wished for this very thing. The Apostles preached to the Jews and Peter, a Jew himself, stringently castigated his countrymen for their role in killing their Messiah.
On the other hand, the Jews despised Paul and wished him dead. When Stephen preached to them, they stopped not at merely wishing, but proceeded to stone him to death. Now I ask, when you have on one hand a group of people armed with rocks and on the other a young man struck down in the prime of life over a religious dispute, who hated whom?
Ann Coulter may be bombastic and extreme in her views. She may even be rather crude. She even says things that hurt people’s feelings. At the end of the day, Ann Coulter has done nothing to harm anyone, Jew or otherwise.
