Coulter is full of hatred and evil. It is unbelievable to me that there are women out there like Coulter who preach misogyny against their own sex.

The wicked witch of the west is out on the talking head circuit once more trumping her new book " If Democrats had brains." She outta right one called " If I didn't have a mouth". laugh.gif smile.gif

Now she says Jews are imperfect Christians. Why does anyone listen to this woman?
theodoresdaddy
people like Ms. Coulter unfortunately do tap into a segment of the American public who do think crap like Jews are imperfect Christians

why do you think so many religious righters are so pro-Israel

they want to convert them in order to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus

OH, Ann. Please keep talking! You continue to serve as your own worst enemy. Yes, some idiots out there believe your hateful rhetoric, but the majority see it as nothing more than a load of crap.

Plus, these supposed "religious" people continue to prove my theory: those guided by religion are nothing more than hate-filled, mindless, weak individuals who require stories written thousands of years ago to cope with the everyday things in their lives. So sad...

Why do people even have RuPaul on their show? Is it the car wreck theory that you have to watch just to see what he'll say next?

I must confess, I just about gagged when I read the latest Ann 'Human-Beast' Coulter pronouncement that "Jews are un-perfected Christians". Is she proving this is no GOD? Because if a true God existed, surely he would send a lightning bolt her way, splitting and cauterizing her into two, from the part in her blonde hair, to the crack in her scrawny ass. BOOM!!!! Right God?

I so loathe this person. It will always be best if I never, ever get close to her. I am afraid of myself. And I am not kidding.

Ann Coulter has brought her side show... to Canada! She spoke tonight at the University of Western Ontario (in London), and will also speak at the University of Ottawa and the University of Calgary. I'm not sure why she's even coming up here--have Americans tired of her act? Is she in dire need of new people to offend--and is coming to our liberal pastures like a vampire in search of fresh blood?

In the end, I don't know why we just don't ignore her. Like an Internet troll or sock puppet, she's just there to get under our skins. To say outrageous things to get liberals upset. Her rhetoric isn't worth much more than a yawn.

Some of her charming quotes:
QUOTE
"As a 17-year-old student of this university, Muslim, should I be converted to Christianity? Second of all, since I don’t have a magic carpet, what other modes do you suggest," Al-Dhaher said to loud and sustained applause.

"I thought it was just American public schools that produced ignorant people," Coulter replied, prompting her own round of applause.

Coulter then noted many Japanese were converted to Christianity after the Second World War and "we haven't heard a peep out of them."

To shouts of "Answer the question," Coulter finally replied "What mode of transportation? Take a camel."

Liberals constantly complain their rights are being attacked in the same way blacks’ rights once were, she said.

"In America everybody wants to be black. The feminists want to be black, the illegal aliens want to be black, the gays want to be black," she said.

Yet none of the complainers have anything serious to complain about, Coulter said.

"There are only two things gay men can’t do. Number one, get married to each other. Number two, throw a baseball without looking like a girl."


America, she's yours. Take her back, please. You can give us back Celine Dion if you want.

Time to close the borders with Canada! See if that vile creature can survive in the land of socialized medicine & same-sex marriage.

P.S. You'll never get Celine back. biggrin.gif

Please keep the vile bitch! Is there anything else we could give you as an incentive, Texas perhaps. Let's see how they do at changing Canadian history.

Coulter's second Canadian engagement--at the University of Ottawa--was cancelled due to anti-Coulter protesters. Of course, Coulter had some choice words for the U. of Ottawa:
QUOTE
“It's at the absolute bush league, bottom of the barrel schools that you get the worst treatment and yet and still I've never seen this before,” she said.

“I'm guessing the scores to get into the University of Ottawa are not very challenging.”

The third stop on her tour is the University of Calgary.
swiminbuff
I am guessing she will get a much warmer reception at her Calgary speech. Probably more like minded people there for her.

Video of the anti-Coulter protest at the University of Ottawa.

Re: the cancellation due to "security" issues, she said: "The liberal blogs were saying bring rocks and sticks and tar and feathers and don’t let Ann Coulter escape unharmed today." laugh.gif

I hate to admit that the woman is playing us like a fiddle, but her Canadian "tour" will be over soon and we can all go back to our normal lives.
millerbeach
Good. Maybe she can join Sarah on her book tour. The both of them could take a long walk off a short pier and I would not shed a tear.

Liberals are such big fans of free speech ... until someone says something they disagree with. Then it's "no speech for you!!" Apparently Ann Coulter should be censored because she's guilty of "hate speech." If that's the case, then this board should be shut down because all the hatred and bigotry directed at Christians, Catholics, Mormons, etc. are hate speech. If that's not hate speech, then nothing is. Oh wait, it's not "hate speech" if liberals agree with what's being said. <smacks forehead> Sorry, I keep forgetting all your special rules.

I am tickled pink that I have a VIP ticket to see Ann Coulter this Saturday (she's speaking in Henderson NV). Since I know everyone on this board just loves Ann ever so, I'll be sure to post promptly with all her best lines.

It was security that shut down Coulter's speech, not liberals. The protestors were students who felt strongly about the University's decision to invite Coulter. Sometimes students get a bit rowdy.....But, man, of all the conservatives in the world to like, what is it about Ann Coulter that you like? Aren't you offended by her gay slurs?

Liberals tend to know the law. Free speech in the US is only protected from government bias. I don't think the government should stop Ann Coulter from talking at all unless she violates the law. She's great entertainment really.

We also know the difference between outright hate, i.e. the Phelps clan or the Mormons who say things that are based in myth and not fact; and, having an opinion about an organization that makes a point to tell me how to live and takes discernible steps to do so. I get to have an opinion about how religious nuts want to shut down my life. ESPECIALLY when we give them a tax break while they're doing it.

It's interesting to me how justified the right thinks they are. IMHO it has to do with privilege and the belief that just because they think that way everyone should.

I went to see The Goddess this afternoon, and it was the the BLEEPIN' BOMB!! She didn't give a political speech, not in the least. It was pretty much just a 25-minute standup routine that had me guffawing. I know I promised to come back here with some of her best lines, but they came so fast, like a machine gun, that I can only remember a couple of them now. But man oh man, I was howling.
"Barack Obama is the first black president to attempt to socialize health care in America. Or the second, if you count Bill Clinton."
"Trying to socialize health care was the second most disgusting thing Bill Clinton ever did in the Oval Office."
She had plenty of lines that were way better, but I just can't remember them all. Ah, good times, good times.

True, the First Amendment simply states that Congress shall pass no law abridging free speech. And of course, she was shut down in Canada, so the U.S. Constitution doesn't apply anyway. But if conservatives made all sorts of security threats that forced the cancellation of a liberal's speech, the left would be up in arms. Has Michael Moore ever had to cancel an appearance? Before Al Franken was elected to the Senate, you know back when he was a former comedian, did he ever have to cancel a speaking engagement? It seems that campus speech codes are as hypocritical in Canada as they are in the U.S. Then again, liberals hate hypocrisy only when they disagree with what's being said.

Buccoman, what has Ann Coulter ever said that was anti-gay? I vaguely remember the "can't say 'faggot' without going into rehab" line, which was actually a pretty good joke, but the delivery fell flat. In any case, it wasn't anti-gay, as much as the professional victim set desperately needs to believe it was. True, Ann opposes gay marriage, you know, just like President Obama. Paradoxically, opposition to gay marriage makes Ann Coulter a hate-filled bigot while Barack Obama is celebrated as a friend and champion.

Amongst us gay conservatives (yeah, all eight of us), La Coulter is a goddess. I've read a few anecdotes of gay conservatives meeting La Coulter (it's like a tweeny at a Jonas Brothers concert), and I love that my gay conservative brethren (yeah, the other seven guys) worship her as much as I do.
SeaCraig
You know BSR that it's widely thought that she doesn't even believe half of what she says. Those who are/were friends of hers have said for some time that it's an act. Which, I would think, is why she's been relegated to the peanut gallery.

Interesting, BoSox, but I didn't realize that Ann is essentially a comedian. She is doing an act, like Rush Limbaugh. Too bad that conservatives take her and , especially Rush, so seriously. Not saying their beliefs are not sincere, but the schtick is really the main thing.
millerbeach
Well, BoSox, thanks for saving me the cost of her ticket. She is as phony as her act...just as I thought. Great for a few one-liners (that even YOU can't remember, and YOU paid for a ticket! LOL) but that's about it. Just like her evil twin, Sarah whats-her-face. But hey, if you liked her, Bo, more power to ya. Glad you had a good time. biggrin.gif

The furor over Ann Coulter's right to "free speech" brings to light the decision of Tarleton State University disallowing a student in a theatre directing program from presenting the Terrence McNally play Corpus Christi due to protests. The play was not public: it was to be performed as part of a course, for the instructor, students and invited guests. Yet due to angry calls and e-mails from Christian activists who object to the content of the play (the story of Jesus and his disciples as gay men in contemporary Texas), which was written by a man who has received 4 Tony Awards in his 40+ year career, this play--which was not even meant to be shown publicly--will not be shown, despite it being the choice of the student, who says that he is both gay and Christian himself.

I should hope that those Ann Coulter supporters, who rallied for her right to "free speech" will also be supporting this student's right to, as part of his education, direct this play by a noted American playwright.

Free speech goes both ways, don't it?

Of course it does. Isn't that the whole point that BSR was making...that she was shut down? The framing of it as "security" shutting her down is disingenious at best. Deceptive would be another way of putting it. Let her talk....she's either a comedy act or a joke, if you don't like what she has to say. And then she gets the chance to show people that live and in person. Instead of somehow being elevated because she was shut down.

As far as offending Christians by distorting and misrepresenting Jesus and his disciples as gay...or those who say Jesus gave in to temptation with Mary Magdalene....go for it. Let it all out there. Make a mockery of what other people believe. Belittle it. Give voice to your derision. Even if it offends.

Do it also to Muslims. And other groups/religions, so it doesn't look like you hate Christians specifically.

And then accept it when some people do the same about gays. Doesn't mean you don't challenge the statements/perspective, of course. You can and should, so that the idea doesn't get accepted simply because it's said, repeated, and no other possibility is put forth.

But stifling speech such as Coulter's on campus makes it much more difficult to object when others decide to stifle speech. Hard to picture today, but attitudes can change from "liberal" to "conservative". Who would have imagined in 1925 that within 10 years Germany....wild, absolutely free flowing, free love, crazy, experimental, anything goes and not even far enough Germany...would have shut down even public discourse, let alone anything liberal, progressive, or even moderate? Far right wing reactionaries (the real kind, not the mislabeled ones of today) are not that far away....and they thrive in an atmosphere of stifled speech.

So speak on Coulter. I won't be listening to you (except to hear the comedy act, now that I know it might bring a laugh). But I want you not to be shut down. Any more than I want the leftists to be shut down.
