Hecklers Cause Coulter to Cut UConn Speech

STORRS, Conn. - Conservative columnist Ann Coulter gave up trying to finish a speech at the University of Connecticut on Wednesday night when boos and jeers from the audience became overwhelming. Coulter cut off the talk after 15 minutes and instead held a half-hour question-and-answer session.

"I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am," Coulter told the 2,600 people at Jorgensen Auditorium.

Coulter's appearance prompted protests from several groups, including Students Against Hate and the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center. They criticized her for spreading a message of hate and intolerance.

Nearly 100 students gathered inside the Student Union for a rally against Coulter. About a half-dozen people held protest signs outside the auditorium.

After a book signing following her appearance, Coulter called the audience's reaction "typical."

Coulter, originally from New Canaan, Conn., has a history of bashing Democrats in best-selling books, frequent television appearances and speeches. Harding University in Arkansas dropped her from its lecture series in September, citing her abrasive image.

Last April, the president of the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota denounced a speech on the campus by Coulter, calling it hateful. In October 2004, University of Arizona police arrested two men who ran on stage and threw custard pies at Coulter; one of the pies glanced off her shoulder.

In her speech at UConn, Coulter called Bill Clinton an "executive buffoon" who won the presidency only because Ross Perot took 19 percent of the vote. She called California Sen. Barbara Boxer a good candidate for the Democrats because "she is a woman and she's learning disabled."

During the question-and-answer session, someone asked Coulter if she really was against a woman's right to vote.

"Not having women vote is a joke," she said, reversing comments she has previously made.

Eric Knudsen, a 19-year-old sophomore journalism and social welfare major at UConn, didn't attend the speech.

"We encourage diverse opinion at UConn, but this is blatant hate speech," said Knudsen, head of Students Against Hate.

Kareem Mohni, a 20-year-old junior and a member of a campus Republicans group, said he was disgusted with the Jorgensen crowd.

"It really appalled me that we're not able to come together as a group and listen to a different view in a respectful environment," he said.

I think she got hit with a pie in the face here at the UA hahah.

I think she should get the shocker personally.

 

[Hiatussin]

She´s so obviously doing the whole thing since she likes how extreme right wing men love her for it.

I see her talk on Fox a lot.

If only the fascist retards on the right would learn that hate and ignorance spewed from a transvestite claiming to be a woman does nothing to create a respectful environment. Must be a rampant swath of syphillis spread by the coulter tranny to various young neophyte republikkkans who want to suck its cock. That would explain the dementia of the right or maybe they're all zombies driven by faux news and the clowns in the white house.

lol.

"......Somewhat more trivial or perhaps pruriently motivated critics have suggested that her positions amount to trolling and that because of her pronounced trachea due to her being extremely underweight, appears to have an Adam's apple and therefore might be a transvestite or transgendered person. ......"

1) freedom of speech is a Govt vs Citizen concept, not applicable citizen vs citizen.

2) I usually dont approve of lack of civility in political discourse and trying to shutdown oppossing viewpoints (hmmmm.... now where have I seen that attempted....), but in her case, I'll make an exception lol. she's an over-the-top clown btw who takes her adoring audience for fools and plays them. Hey it sells books.

Sure, the left bitches and whines and throws a spastic fit about free speech when a guy like Ward Churchill says that some 9/11 victims deserved it and people begin to question his teaching capability... and Churchill is serious...Coulter is semi-serious or even if she is serious, (then she's stupid but) "the left" leaps to defend guys like this. Don't you believe in free speech?

(Which liberals really don't in many ways, political correctness often ends up as suppression of certain types of speech in order to change or manage thought. Its outcome isn't always bad but it is most definitely something other than an open and uninhibited exchange of ideas.

But the second someone gets anti-American, no matter how obscene or incorrect their claims? The left jumps to their defense like flies on shit. )
