Stern played Ann Coulter's latest demonstration of foot-in-mouth disease yesterday, expressing nearly the same righteous indignation as did the show's host, Donny Deutch. The thing was, as I listened, I both knew Coulter was right in what she was saying (as far as it went) and that everyone else was wrong to be offended, at least in thinking her remarks were antisemitic. Hell I'm not even a Christian and I knew they were wrong. Jason does a nice job of explaining exactly why.

Was she crass and insensitive? Well, yes. That phrase is, after all, a synonym for Ann Coulter. But she wasn't antisemitic, at least in what I consider the common definition of the term. Some others may answer it's not really possible for a fundamentalist Christian to be anything but antisemitic, to which I can only say, "lighten the hell up, willya?"
