Have you met her?

Do you not like women?

She is a gorgeous, brilliant women. Just because you don't agree with her higher values doesn't mean she's a bad person.

Ann Coulter is a racist, antisemitic, homophobic creationist. So, I agree that she could possibly be your type.

The eternal conundrum with discussing right wing loons is are they crazy or just evil. With Ann Coulter is a bit of both.

People are always invoking high falootin philosophical reasons that they don't really care about to justify their emotional stances. But this case might be an exception. Which side do you think would Obama come down on?

About Ann Coulter being a terrible person? I don't think its up for debate.

Nice to see Bernie Sanders is on my side, and scumbag lobbyist Howard Dean is on the side of of the deplorable fake progressives.

Bernie Sanders defends Ann Coulter's Right to Speak

Quote:
“I don’t like this. I don’t like it,” Sanders told The Huffington Post after speaking at a rally . . . “Obviously Ann Coulter’s outrageous ― to my mind, off the wall. But you know, people have a right to give their two cents-worth, give a speech, without fear of violence and intimidation.” . . .

“To me, it’s a sign of intellectual weakness,” he said. “If you can’t ask Ann Coulter in a polite way questions which expose the weakness of her arguments, if all you can do is boo, or shut her down, or prevent her from coming, what does that tell the world?”

“What are you afraid of ― her ideas? Ask her the hard questions,” he concluded. “Confront her intellectually. Booing people down, or intimidating people, or shutting down events, I don’t think that that works in any way.”

Mongi thinking Ann Coulter is beautiful clears up a LOT of things about him. She looks like if Skeletor had a sex change but replaced cartoon evil plans with just mundane idiocy.

It's not a free speech issue. It's an Ann Coulter is a ****ing waste of DNA and some people might get uppity about it issue.
Interesting argument. I guess we will have to pull out the Constitutional Law books, but it seems clear to me that Ann's speech is being suppressed by the (public(ly funded)) university because of the content of her speech. (It is known that she will say conservative things.) Can the violent protesters be used by the government (here, the university) as an excuse to suppress speech?

Consider for a second if this was a left leaning speaker and it was right leaning violent protestors. What would your stance be then?

This could be looked at as violating the free speech rights of those who invited Coulter. Don't they have a right to their speech (from Coulter) in the public place? Like, if it was a recording of Coulter being played by the students, then that is clearly the speech they are playing. They would have a right to "say" those things by playing the recording. Surely, they don't lose rights because she is speaking live?

I will come back to the constitutional arguments, but let's just talk morally for a second.

Aren't you just disgusted by people using violence to silence Ann Coulter's free speech?

I mean, let's say she is standing in a public park. Don't you think it's immoral to stop her from speaking by violence?

In Coulter's defense, Canada is easily ignored and/or forgotten.

The 57th Great State of America... not so easily forgotten... except, I seem to have forgotten; Which one was it? Maybe the 57th state in America will be the Commonwealth of San Fransisco. The 56th state could be the State of Los Angeles. Perhaps the 55th state will be the Commonwealth of NYC and Long Island?




But at least we all know the major languages of the European Union.

lol, you're a Trump supporter. Posting gaffes is not something you get to do.

@pokerodox: Coulter's "conservatism" is not at issue (pretty sure you know that too). Make that argument when they cancel a speech from George Will or Ted Cruz, which I doubt would happen.
04-25-2017 , 08:27 PM
Actually the more I think about it, that's really ****ing depressing that Bern is falling into that hole.

Yes of course, but that's not happening. And that's not a minor detail, THAT'S THE ENTIRE ****ING POINT.

Do you people honestly think the Coulters of the world are hosting open forum round table discussions for spirited debate with their ideological opponents? No, it's one stage and one microphone and one platform.

THE PROTESTING IS THE COUNTERARGUMENT, GIVEN THESE RESTRAINTS.

Lozl at going to a public park for public discussion. You people have no idea how any of this works.

OK. She's more conservative by far than George Will. I don't know Ted Cruz enough to place him versus Ann Coulter, though I assume she's to the right of him.

But what exactly are you saying? Are you saying that it is ok to ban her speech in public places based on the content of her speech, because that speech is racist? I think that's what you're saying.

Did you ever consider he is climbing out of the hole?

Thanks for the discussion.

Ann Coulter, and those on the left, and others closer to the middle, whether George Will types or whatever, do this type of speaking all the time. Both sides should be allowed to speak with a monopolized microphone from time to time. Are you saying that because she has a microphone, and can control the forum, she doesn't have free speech rights?

Look at it from the flip side, what if she was a left leaning speaker and right leaning violent protestors were stopping her?

Wrong. I'm saying you were being disingenuous trying to pretend this was about her views on the role of government, i.e. conservatism, instead of what protesters are actually angry about, which is her views on race, culture, and religion, i.e. white Christian supremacy.
