One thousand Orthodox Rabbis agree Jews need to be perfected
On the October 30 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Alan Colmes said to his guest, conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter: "I haven't spoken to you since you made your infamous comment saying that people like me need to be 'perfected,' " adding, "So how about embracing one of the great Christian virtues, as Yushke discussed, humility, and apologizing to all those people you offended by that comment?"
Colmes was referring to Coulter's statement, documented by Media Matters for America, on the October 8 edition of CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch that "we" Christians "just want Jews to be perfected." Responding to Colmes, Coulter stated: "[I]f you're going to go around citing all the people I have offended, Alan, I have 1,000 Orthodox rabbis supporting me."
Later, Colmes asserted: "You claim 1,000 Orthodox rabbis support you. I don't know who they are, but I can tell you, you know the Anti-Defamation League, the American Jewish Congress, and many others have condemned you for that. Do you care?" Coulter responded: "I wear it as a badge of honor. It's like citing the National Organization of Women to tell me how all women feel. The point is: This is the same old fight we see all the time with the irreligious trying to stir up trouble with the religious."

Comments:
Yes, I saw that and was very confused. Do you think she was talking about Neturei Karta rabbis? (Can there be 1,000 of those?) I went back and watched the original interview as well, and she attempted to smooth things over with the interviewer at the time just after she said it. It was shocking to hear, and the interviewer (Donny Deutsch?) kept asking her if she actually believed the things she was saying. It was strange to say the least.

First, using Media Matters as a source is bogus. The Soros-funded organization is against anything to the right of Che.
Secondly, your title "One thousand Orthodox Rabbis agree Jews need to be perfected" is misleading. The support she is receiving from Orthodox people is that she believes X and we believe Y, and X and Y are mutally exclusive, but at least, she actually believes in her religion. Not like the phonies at Media Matter, the ADL and the AJC. None of those groups care about the "religious" aspects of Judaism, only the cultural.
We can disagree with someone, even about a major doctinal difference, and still appreciate that they are true to their beliefs.

People need to send e-mails to Sean Hannity in a respectful way,to no longer have Coulter on his radio\TV shows. If he would continue to still have here on, we would realy need to stop listening to him.

She's never going to back away from her previous comments, beacause she believes it's the truth. The problem is, that she's not the only one who believes so. I agree people should e-mail Hannity not to have her on his show anymore. This is a link to the page where you can send him a message:
