This article on Ann Coulter being jeered at U of Conn

[GardeningGal]

has the worst picture of her that I've ever seen. There's also a handy little poll on how you feel about her if you feel so inclined.

[Loonman]

2. Freakin' BLEAACCHH!

That would put a billy goat off his dinner.

3. MY EYES! THE GOGGLES, THEY DO NOTHING!

[Genki]

7. she's obsessed w/ Clinton

[NoQuarter]

15. Wrong!

She's obsessed with the Clenis.

[DS1]

4. She looks like Carrot Top

[CatBoreal]

5. That's a man baby!

Someone pass me the bleach.

I have to disinfect my hard drive now.

[Warpy]

9. Yeah, check out that deltoid muscle

No woman ever had one like that, no matter how much iron she pumped.

[hippiegranny]

6. toss up

between "can't stand her" and "Ann who?" But in the end I decided to vote honestly and go with "can't stand her."

[RandomKoolzip]

8. I voted in the poll....

"What do you think of Ann Coulter?"

The votes for "Can't Stand Her" and "Ann Who?" combined faaaaar outnumbered the votes for "I Think She's Great."

10. Concerning free speech

I don't think its right to not allow whomever to speak whereever. If we don't allow her to speak, and she is a nationally syndicated columnist/freak and not an unheard of freak, then what is to prevent the right wingers from stopping us. Just my humble thoughts.

12. Fine and dandy, but her right to free speech wasn't being threatened

She's a big girl. If she can't stand some booing and catcalls, she needs to find another line of work.

Besides, she'll milk this for all its worth. Her drooling Freeper fan base loves it.

13. Freedom to Jeer

also applies. If she is that far from the mainstream, and so full of hate, people are free to laugh at her (bill Maher), or express displeasure, she is a veritable Nazi. My choice? Cream Pie, rotten eggs/tomatoes

16. Freedom Of Speech Is Construct That Prevents The GOVERNMENT. . .

. . .from subrogating the rights of the people. Such rights do not exist when it's peers shouting down another. It is a PRIVILEGE to talk in front of an audience, not a right. If the gov't tries to stop that person, then a right is being subrogated. If students from that institution shout her down, no rights have been violated. She has no RIGHT to talk at the college. Only a privilege. Privileges can always be revoked.

19. Well, her fees were probably taken from the student fees...

that every student pays at the college. (Another poster on this board pointed this out. Thank you, whomever you are)
On edit: Here's the post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5542953&mesg_id=5544645

The students that jeered her had essentially already paid for her speaking fee whether they wanted to or not, so
I'd say she needs to grow a thicker skin and deal with it.
Besides, this is a woman who has openly advocated the killing of liberals in the past because she doesn't like them. If she can't handle someone else exercising their
right to free speech, she needs to crawl back underground with the rest of the C.H.U.D.s (Cannibalistic, Humanoid Underground Dwellers)
And besides, right wingers try to stop us all the time from being able to speak.

Case in point:



"An unidentified supporter of President Bush tries to silence protester Kendra Lloyd-Knox (right) outside Southridge High School in Beaverton. Elsewhere in Portland, supporters of Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., rallied on the waterfront."

18. Is this the beginning of the end for Annthrax?

Let's face it...the main reason she gets so much more notice and recognition than other hate-filled blowhards like Michael Savage is that she's been presented as a conservative who's also an attractive blonde woman -- eye-candy for the wingnuts. Once she loses her looks, she'll be of no more interest to them than a former SI swimsuit model now hawking Depends or Polident.

17. Hideous

20. We should follow her around the country and hound her

"I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am," Coulter told the crowd of 2,600 Wednesday.


"UConn junior Kareem Mohni, 20, said he was disgusted by his peers' reaction to Coulter.

"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," Mohni said."

I guess Kareem doesn't think it's disrespectful of Ann to call everybody who isn't her, stupid.
