I know most, especially orthodox, Jews think that they have a superior view of God over that of Christians and others, and thus are superior to them in a spiritual sense. It certainly would not/should not bother me if they come out and say it. You really can't have religious tolerance at all if everyone is required to believe that they're no better off than the followers of other religions in order to fit in with the PC culture.

No, Judaism is a religion of tolerance. We do not say that we have the way or the only way, just a way that works for us. You will not find a Jew who says that what we believe is right and what others believe is wrong. Neither will you find a Jew who says that any non-Jew is destined for eternal damnation. Also, there is no desire by Jews to proselytize, we are not trying to get anyone who believes differently to become Jewish. It is, in fact, probably more difficult to convert to Judaism than any other rligion. Formally, the process takes seven years with tests all alng the way.
Of course, Coulter's statement is not shocking to me either. She is a joke. She is the intellectual equivalent of Howard Stern to the Republican party.
