In a television appearance earlier this week, conservative pundit Ann Coulter said that Jews needed to be "perfected."
Promoting her latest book, "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans," on "The Big Idea With Donny Deutsch" on CNBC, Coulter said the United States would be better if everyone were Christian.
A transcript of the interview was posted on the Web sites of Media Matters, a left-leaning media watchdog group, and Fox News.
COULTER: No, we think -- we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say.
DEUTSCH: Wow, you didn't really say that, did you?
COULTER: Yes. That is what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. We know we're all sinners --
DEUTSCH: In my old days, I would have argued -- when you say something absurd like that, there's no --
COULTER: What's absurd?
DEUTSCH: Jews are going to be perfected. I'm going to go off and try to perfect myself --
COULTER: Well, that's what the New Testament says.
DEUTSCH: Ann Coulter, author of "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans," and if Ann Coulter had any brains, she would not say Jews need to be perfected. I'm offended by that personally. And we'll have more Big Idea when we come back.
After the commercial, Deutsch gave Coulter an opportunity to explain her comment. She said that she hadn't meant to be offensive.
COULTER: No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be. I don't think you should take it that way, but that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews. We believe the Old Testament. As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to, you know, live up to all the laws. What Christians believe -- this is just a statement of what the New Testament is -- is that that's why Christ came and died for our sins. Christians believe the Old Testament. You don't believe our testament.
DEUTSCH: You said -- your exact words were, "Jews need to be perfected." Those are the words out of your mouth.
COULTER: No, I'm saying that's what a Christian is.
DEUTSCH: But that's what you said -- don't you see how hateful, how anti-Semitic --
COULTER: No!
DEUTSCH: How do you not see? You're an educated woman. How do you not see that?
COULTER: That isn't hateful at all.
DEUTSCH: But that's even a scarier thought. OK --
COULTER: No, no, no, no, no. I don't want you being offended by this. This is what Christians consider themselves, because our testament is the continuation of your testament. You know that. So we think Jews go to heaven. I mean, [Rev. Jerry] Falwell himself said that, but you have to follow laws. Ours is "Christ died for our sins." We consider ourselves perfected Christians. For me to say that for you to become a Christian is to become a perfected Christian is not offensive at all.
DEUTSCH: We will let the audience decide then, won't we?
Coulter also said that in her dreams, the country would look like New York City during the Republican National Convention in 2004.
"That's what I think heaven is going to look like," she said. "Happy, joyful Republicans in the greatest city in the world."

By her logic, Muslims are perfected Christians. So...Amercia would be better if we were all Muslim? She sounds a lot like the Islamic fundamentalists to me...
ya she's just stone **** crazy. Everytime someone calls her out on something being offensive she back tracks and goes "oh no I didn't mean it like that!". Yes you did thunder ****...
p.s. what's your reasoning behind muslims being perfected christians? Wouldn't Muslims be perfect hindu's?

Muslims are to Christians what Christians are to Jews. The Qur'an (or however it's spelled) means 'The Last Testament'. It's an almost identicle transition...more rules (that are more strict), and worse punishments.
