So here, at the end of the day, after the Rockies have won yet another game in impressive fashion, and possibly raising the value of the two spare tickets I have for Monday night's Game 4, I finally have time to deal with Miss Coulter's riff.
First of all, yes, this is the basic Christian line as I understand it. Most Christians have the decency not to bring it up all the time, but we believe that the Torah is complete already, and they think it needed a few appendices. We believe that we have to follow all sorts of rules; they believe that they can get to Heaven a lot faster by just accepting Jesus. For the most part, we agree to disagree, and not to go crying to enlist the government for help in the matter. No harm, no foul.
But Coulter was asking for this. She got asked what the country would look like in her dreams, she said Christian, and Donny Deutsch took exception, as she probably knew he would. She volunteered this. He didn't ask her about her religion. She took it down that road, although he was all over it like white on rice.
Secondly, she has no business assuming anything at all about Deutsch's religiosity, and whether or not that makes any difference as to his suitability as a Christian. Jews may not like implications of Christian eschatology, and we may be pleased when it turns in certain directions. But we have no right to dictate what it should be. In the same way, it's none of Ann Coulter's business what makes a good Jew or practicing Jew, and she's got not business voicing an opinion on the matter.
For some reason the Corner is virtually silent on the matter. Possibly because they fired her for this kind of garbage 6 years ago.
