@AnnCoulter loses it
In case you missed it, yes she tweeted this during last night's Republican Presidential Candidate Debate:
How many f---ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
And to put it in context, that was after she tweeted all of these:
Good grief! Huckabee is running for PM of Israel.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
Rubio running to be curator of the Reagan Museum.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
Cruz, Huckabee Rubio all mentioned ISRAEL in their response to: "What will AMERICA look like after you are president."
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
She's been defending herself ever since.
U weren't following tweets. About pandering on RR Israel prolife. Last Q was @ AMERICA & 4 Reps talk @ Israel AGAIN! https://t.co/lZ0ZUtVdSf
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
All GOPs = prolife, pro-Reagan, pro-Israel. Pandering on all 3 tonight was EPIC. https://t.co/lZ0ZUtVdSf
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
Well maybe the candidates talked about those things because they are the antithesis of the views of Obama and the current Democratic candidates. That's not pandering to any of those three core Republican groups - it's showing how the Republican candidates are different from the Democrats.
How about Huckabee, Rubio, Kasich etc talk about Israel's sturdy and effective border fence? https://t.co/1WSyFQN0N1
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
I would be cool with that (although as longtime readers know, I don't think it's anywhere near as effective as it's touted to be). But in that case, wouldn't you ask 'why talk about Israel's border fence when we should be talking about America's?
No, it offends me that so much time was wasted on things all GOPs agree on. https://t.co/3vezaywGMM
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) September 17, 2015
Is that the fault of the candidates or the moderators?
There's a lot more at Coulter's Twitter feed. But perhaps this tweet (from someone who follows me on Twitter) and Coulter's response sum it up best.
Those are liberals being clever. https://t.co/GmO0qWmgaM

Having read an awful lot of comments... I don't think so. It seems that unfortunately, the GOP of my generation and my children's generation still includes a lot of the John Birch Society types that kept my parents (and most Americans to this day) away from the Republican party. Perhaps that's why many of the Republican candidates feel the need to 'pander' (as Coulter insists on calling support for Israel) to Jewish voters.
Sure hope you can't tell Ann Coulter's views by the company she keeps...

Carl,
American Jews with their liberalism, are not particularly fond of Israel.
The majority of Americans who support Israel are not Jewish and are Christian.
That's why GOP candidates support Israel.
In her anti-Semitic attacks upon Jews, Ann Coulter missed the big picture.
I have some foggy memory of Ann going on about the need to "perfect" non-Christians. She does a lot of wrangling of facts and figures that the media won't do, which is valuable. Every religion has written theology that I find objectionable, but her focus on the otherness of the lesser beings back then put me off of taking her analysis less critically, as I sometimes do with people like Mark Levin. I guess she's just another James Baker.
BTW Mark Levin"s response on FB... Bwahahaha!

Coulter on GOP Israel Talk: ‘How Many F***ing Jews’ Do They Think Are in the U.S.?

The North American Jews have well earned the expletive!
- They voted for the Obomination at 80/20 TWICE! Horrid!
- They were instrumental in the passing of the Iran 'deal'. Criminal.
- As such they are providing the apocalyptic Mullahs $150 billion. Ignoble!
What about the 20% decent NAJ you say! They don't push back, they don't clean house so they don't
matter.
Somewhere 'Rabbi' Stephen Wise is smiling and Hillel Kook is gnashing his teeth. [Story of his life]

I have read Ann Coulter for many years, I don't believe she is anti-Semitic.
Also in fairness I think you should post her response to this incident.
