Reading the raw text it does seem offensive and still is probably. And I'm sorry about that. But what I meant was is that he seemed to be egging her on.
He asked her what her version of the perfect world was- she went on to describe her political version of perfection which was republican (which I'm sure is offensive to you too.
). He did not want that version (which is her forte) and asked for specifics. In passing she mentioned Christian and he jumped all over it. "So we should all be Christian?" She joked "Would you like to come to church with me, Donny?"
She went on to describe about how liberals always tout diversity and how she feels that it isn't always a good thing and how there are many chips on shoulders etc. (which could be offensive to some as well) but then he brought up the Christian thing again and again. She joked how it would be fastrack- for her version.
Here is the video. She seems very tongue and cheek to me.

In research, apparently the bible does deem itself a perfected version of the old testament. (But what religion doesn't deem itself perfected?) I just don't think that she meant it to be offensive. Maybe, like I said before, I am being naive.
It just baffles me, not that anyone was offended because that's how things get now a days with all the media blogs and hype (not to mention her book is being marketed well because of it), but it's headlined as if this were a planned antisemitic speech. What baffles me further is that there are real people out there crusading specifically against jews, christians, blacks, whites, gays, etc. (Let's not forget democracy!!!) as thier soul purpose who do not get near the amount of attention and scrutiny.
