Rabbi Levin, the spokesman on moral issues for some 1000 Rabbis, told LifeSiteNews.com, "She said nothing that in any way indicates anti-Semitism." On CNBC's 'The Big Idea' last week, host Donny Deutsch became hysterical when Coulter tried to explain that Christianity considers itself the continuation of Judaism, and thus Christians wish followers of Judaism to complete the journey - "we want Jews to be perfected" she phrased it. Deutsch called Coulter's comment uneducated, "hateful and anti-Semitic" and went so far as to compare her to Iran in wishing to "wipe Israel off the earth."

Ann Coulter recently was accused of hateful anti-semitic speech. When I first read her quote, I thought that the critics were simply grasping at any straw. But on further thought, I wonder. Is it possible that the gap between left and right is so enormous, that the most innocuous statement is honestly misunderstood to be hate speech?
...wipe Israel off the earth ???
...wipe Israel off the earth ???
Was he serious, or grasping at a straw?
