Well, I only have a minute to write before Shabbat, but really wanted to put this out there.

By now I am sure many of you have heard about the Ann Coulter intervew on CNBC.  If not click here for the transcript and how she has basically called for the end of Judaism.

Many people have expressed shock at her statements.  I am neither shocked nor stunned by them.  While I admit to not knowing much about Ann Coulter, I am very well aware of anti-semitism.  Anyone who thinks it doesn't exist in America and certainly not in this day in age is just not paying attention.  There are still MANY people who believe this way, Coulter just had the stupidity to say it on national television...

Don Imus got fired for making racial slurs against the Rutgers Women's Basketball team - and deservedly so.  Ann Coulter has called for the annihilation of an entire race (actually a few races - since if everyone were Ch-stian that would also mean the end of Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, in fact anyone who doesn't agree with Coulter).  I wonder what will the public outcry will be - or if they will even care.

I do want to thank Coulter though. As we study the Middle Ages, we will be learning about forced baptisms and conversions and persecution of Jews throughout Europe.  How nice of Coulter to provide my children with a modern day example of what she would like to see...
