Christianity has always seen itself as the fulfillment of God’s Plan, whose beginning was the Jewish Covenant. The reason they have any sympathy for the Jews is that their religious tradition grew out of Judaism. So Coulter’s remarks were not the offensive screed her detractors believe them to be. I grew up Jewish but do not practice any religion right now but I do have a Masters in Comparative Religion and Coulter, speaking as a Christian would be at odds with her faith if she had said otherwise. However, she probably could have said this more elegantly in a more academic forum. But people who don’t like her and know nothing about the Christian tradition will jump to silly conclusions. And they are.
