Coulter Makes Much-Anticipated Visit
Packed Jorgensen Hears Shortened Speech

By: Frances Morales
Issue date: 12/8/05 Section: News

More than 2,000 people streamed through the doors of the Jorgensen Center of Performing Arts Wednesday, all to see, hear, support or criticize the conservative speaker Ann Coulter.

Campus police were in attendance to maintain order as College Republicans rounded up their brothers and sisters from chapters across Connecticut and some out-of-state, to lend a hand at the event.

Supporters came to hear Coulter, others waited out in the freezing cold weather with their poster boards wisped by the wind, all to protest against Coulter.
And the wait was over.

Coulter, who came in late due to a delayed flight, strode in from Miami, with a smile, and spoke amongst the mixtures of cheers and boos.

Coulter poked fun at liberals and defended President George W. Bush, but her speech was interrupted by boos after she made several comments about gays, only to stir up snickering and boos up on the balcony.

"I think we have a long way to go with censorship when we have 'Will and Grace' on TV," Coulter said as she laughed. "I think someone finally got the joke in the liberal section."

The event, which was sponsored by Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, lasted less than 30 minutes before her speech was cut short as groups of students seated in the balconies began protesting Coulter shouting, "You suck."

One student shouted, "I want my money back."

"That was an affecting response by the liberals," she said in response. "And it took them two months to come up with that."

A South Park song, "Kyle's mom is a big fat bitch," broke out, and some students jeered.

Coulter continued to laugh and said that liberals were "big, fat, taunting babies."

"It didn't matter what the song was," Coulter said after the lecture. "I'm giving a speech, they blast something and I can't speak. What does that say of how powerful what it is I have to say. They are so afraid that if someone hears me, they will change their mind. I guess they shouldn't be now that I think about it."
The speech went straight into a question and answer session between Coulter and students.

Coulter defended Bush in that U.S. is winning the war in Iraq, and said American troops would be out of Iraq, "sooner than Bosnia."

One student asked what would Coulter do if she had a gay son.

"Did I tell you, you were adopted, " Coulter answered.

================================================== =====

I dunno why Ann Coulter dont start suing these idiot Universities in order to get them to get control of these meddlesome hecklers, as there ARE some people who go to Ann Coulter's speeches but cant hear because of these liberal whiners being allowed to disrupt her speeches in this way, this was planned, the authorities at the school should have known this kind of thing would happen and should have put an immediate stop to this.

They didnt.

To me this is a breach of contract when a university or college allows such disrupting hecklers the opportunity to spoil it for everyone else.

I dont see people louldy disrupting, heckling, playing music and booing all over the place when a Liberal speaker is invited to a university or college, only Conservatives get this rude 'greeting' and it should be dealt with immediately.

Colleges and Universities should be places for open-minded discussions, not this one-sided baloney, and with students and/or faculty prompted disruptions and heckling like this.

Ann should sue these places till they get the idea to not allow this (other Speakers should do the same thing, liberal OR Conservative.)

If enough Universities and/or colleges get hit in the pocketbooks from ther antics of a rabble determined to disrupt a speakers speech then maybe something will be done to put a stop to it.

[Timberwolf]

Better idea....abuse the hecklers....physically. Enough with this "playing nice" crap. If it's a war they WANT, well to heck with civility, a war they shall HAVE. Make these mewling, sycophantic little pukes rue the day they were born. Remember, liberals have the same mind-set as a terrorist...they will not listen to - nor do they understand - reason, they only understand being MADE to shut up. If these events aren't going to be policed by campus security, those that invited the speaker should "police" the event themselves.

Ann Coulter is obtuse and offensive. She wants people to boo her. It makes her famous. Although I'm sure she's appreciative on some level of fans like you who throw pity parties for her, she would probably only laugh at the idea of suing the opponents who give her the attention that makes her rich.

As for abusing liberals... I agree. Let's do it! Fascism rules!

[Wolfcounsel]

"As for abusing liberals... I agree. Let's do it! Fascism rules!" --Idb83

It's not fascism to make imbeciles shut up. If you were sitting behind someone at a movie theater, and he wanted to watch the movie, and you started making noise, like talking to some other imbecile on your cellular and telling him how bad the movie sucks,<!-- / message --> and he proceeded to tie your tongue and balls around your neck, and I were to see him do that, I would probably buy him a bag of popcorn for a job well done.

[USPatriot8320]

You guys are right the college's should have more control. The ones in NY have just begun to take control of the situation. A number of conservative spokespeople have had their speeches cancelled in fear it would cause problems throughout the campuses. The universities will never take on the student body, after all, look at tution these days.

[DoctorDoom]

Another mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging liberaloser is here to contaminate FC with its toxic waste.

Ann Coulter is obtuse and offensive.Ann coulter is known nationwide and is the author of several best-selling books. You are an anonymous, irrelevant liberal pissant on an Internet BB. Ergo, your opinion of Ann counts for precisely zero.

As for abusing liberals... I agree. Let's do it!One can only abuse helpless, harmless beings. Liberals are vermin. Going after them isn't abuse. It's pest control.

He he he,

You are simply scared of her.She writes that way because she really believes that liberals are lost souls and besides that idiotic.

I think that at times she overdoes the level of sarcastic satire in her columns.But golly she does make a lot of good skewering of the liberal buffoons too.Her analysis of the 2000 Presidential election was revealing in that it was a mess CREATED by the stupid democrats.

The woman did write some good books too.I have not bothered to buy her latest one because,I find that it is an exercise in futility to have a meaningful and rational conversation with a liberal.

It could be you.

Should their speeches be interrupted by political opposition disruptors, because of their obtuse and offensive natures or messages?

She wants people to boo her. It makes her famous.

They want people to listen to them. It makes them "relevant."

Although I'm sure she's appreciative on some level of fans like you who throw pity parties for her, she would probably only laugh at the idea of suing the opponents who give her the attention that makes her rich.

Well first off, I'm not a fan (of Coulter) -- she's okay, but I much prefer Dr. Mike Adams, professor of Crimonology at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. However, whether or not Ann is appreciative of those who speak up for her is not the point, nor is it the point of supporting her "speech," it is the point of supporting FREE speech. But too much free speech, for a liberal is too much for them to handle (without resorting to pies, loud musical taunts, yelling and disrupting.)

As for abusing liberals... I agree. Let's do it! Fascism rules!

Oh but why do the work for them ... they are doing marvelously on their own making fools of themselves and proving just how ANTI-free speech they really are, :smirky: .

Do I understand what you just wrote?? I believe that you just said that anything that opposes Socialism should be denied access to the media and expression of their position.

Most of those on the left are, adolescent, arrogant, asinine, bigoted, boring, brutal, communistic, creepy, cultists, depraved, despicable, egotistical, ethically-challenged, felonious, freakish, groupies, golems, haters, idiotic, impolite, intolerant, jerks, Judas, kooks, ludicrous, lacking intuition and intelligence, mindless, marxists, meatheads, non-entities, obnoxious, over-bearing, puerile, pedantic, perfidious, quixotic, retarded, ruthless, simple-minded, socialistic, traitorous, tyrannical, un-American, xenophobic, and therefore, Zilch!

Not only that, they aren't very nice!

[ldb83]

No, it doesn't look like you do understand what I wrote. Each of those words were ones that you put into my mouth.

If Ann Coulter wanted polite little listeners, why do you think she chose to speak at a university in Connecticut? Any idea? She wants to stir things up and create attention for herself. Those like her on the other end of the political spectrum are much the same. They love opportunities to speak where tension is likely to build. It's sensationalism, and none of the right-wing pundits like Coulter are any more innocent than the left-wing pundits like Moore.

As for your working definition of the left, well good luck with that. But if you think the right should physically force the left to see things their way though, you reek of fascism, by definition, and I don't think there's anything more "un-American" than that.

People heckle Michael Moore and Al Franken too. Trust me. It comes with the territory of their offensive careers.

[JohnSteel]

I suspect that Ann Coulter is really a liberal. Michael Moore, ect. can't even come close to promoting liberalism as effectively as she does.

[Rink]

Had I been to one of Ann Coulters speeches and couldnt hear because of an unruly liberal rabble I'd prolly sue on account of my disability and also on account that I spent good money to go see and listen to Ann Coulter only to hear garbage being spewed next or behind me, so much so that I couldnt hear anything that Ann had said, hence I was cheated out of my money and my time goint to see Ann Coulter.

These liberalized Institutions need to start getting sued up the wazoo so that they will finally put a stop to this disruptive baloney, the reason why these people are doing this is because they know the Universities or colleges wont touch, bother, or eject them from the auditorium where the speaker is at.

They do this witn impunity, with careful planning and with the practical tacit approval of their commie professors.

Enough is enough!!

Something needs to get it stopped!!

[Etaoin]

No, it doesn't look like you do understand what I wrote. Each of those words were ones that you put into my mouth.

I put no words into your mouth! I merely asked if I understood what you were saying.

If Ann Coulter wanted polite little listeners, why do you think she chose to speak at a university in Connecticut? Any idea?

I think her speaking fee is $15,000.00. Seems like an honorable and rational reason!

She wants to stir things up and create attention for herself. Those like her on the other end of the political spectrum are much the same. They love opportunities to speak where tension is likely to build. It's sensationalism, and none of the right-wing pundits like Coulter are any more innocent than the left-wing pundits like Moore.

The democRATS lie, make false charges, distort, and attempt to destroy by any method they can. Whereas Ann Coulter responds WITH BITING HUMOR! And they don't like it at all! Most of us that are conservative cheer her on.

As for your working definition of the left, well good luck with that. But if you think the right should physically force the left to see things their way though, you reek of fascism, by definition, and I don't think there's anything more "un-American" than that.

I have given you nothing to assume that I endorse violence, but like all lefties, anyone who questions their infallibility and "good intentions" (which pave the road to hell, try Cabrini Green, Robert Taylor Homes, Bedford Styvestant, Section 8 homes, etc...ad infinitum) is labeled fascist. Yet, it is the left that tries to curtail free speech, and tries to control what is taught in the schools, is anti-religious, and via political correctness tries to create "Mao's New Man."

Remember, it is your buddies and like thinkers that are trying to prevent her from speaking .


People heckle Michael Moore and Al Franken too. Trust me. It comes with the territory of their offensive careers.

TRUST YOU????? Trust has to be earned! Too many people have paid dearly for trusting someone who said that!!! Ayn Rand said that when someone said that to you, you should grab your wallet and run like hell!

Heckling is one thing, but trying to prevent a person who has been hired to speak from fulfilling her obligation is quite another. At least you are discerning enough as to label your buddies as "OFFENSIVE"!

[ldb83]

Alright. Let me get this straight.

Heckling is one thing, but trying to prevent a person who has been hired to speak from fulfilling her obligation is quite another.

heckle (hek'ul) vt. [[orig. Scot]] to annoy or harass (a speaker) by interrupting with questions or taunts

Looks to me like heckling is exactly that. Trying to prevent a person from being able to adequately give a speech. I don't see how these things are so different.

I also don't see why you think Moore and Franken are my "buddies" either, but whatever, believe what you will. I do wonder though what the reactions would be if this thread was about Michael Moore getting heckled and booed off the stage before completing his speech at BYU. If you would have the same opinion in that hypothetical scenario, I'd probably be quicker to respect all these opinions and shut up. If not, I'd say that's a pretty hypocritical double standard.

[Rink]

Is playing raunchy LOUD music 'heckling'? I think not!

[JohnSteel]

democRATS lie, make false charges, distort, and attempt to destroy by any method they can. Whereas Ann Coulter responds WITH BITING HUMOR! And they don't like it at all! Most of us that are conservative cheer her on.
I don't understand why she has so much respect from conservatives. She makes conservatives look like hatefull jerks. Her "biting humor" looks like nothing more than hate speech from a liberal point of view.

[DeclinetoState]

Al Franken is obtuse and offensive.
Janeane Garofalo is obtuse and offensive.

Not to mention Howard Dean.

You all should have taken my advice to ignore Yuk--I mean liberal troll Idb83. :D

If you would have the same opinion in that hypothetical scenario, I'd probably be quicker to respect all these opinions and shut up. If not, I'd say that's a pretty hypocritical double standard.

Ahh, you respect opinions based on hypothetical scenarios, and not real life? Can you list for us, please, the occasions where LIBERAL speakers were treated in the same manner as Ms. Coulter was? The LOUD music during a PAID speaking engagement? How about when someone rushed on stage at a previous engagement and threw a PIE at her? Please, list for us the atrocities of the conservatives perpetrated against liberal speakers.

Regardless of philosophy, left or right, conservative or liberal, people should have the decent common courtesy, if not for the speaker, for their neighbors in the seats who PAID to see and hear the speaker. This REEKS of disrespect for free speech and an infringement upon the rights of others. Dissent is one thing -- picket, put on a demonstration outside, write letters to the editors of the university, local and regional papers, go on the radio, take out adds, sell bumper stickers, whatever -- but do NOT encroach upon those who have every right to THEIR opinions and THEIR support of an opposition view.

[aaron11]

This says allot about the "state" of our institutions. This kind of closed minded thug mentality has no place in society much less at a "school of thought"...

For Liberalism to survive, all other opposing views must be silenced. Kinda reminds me of a few chapters in recent history, Stalin, Hitler, Hussein, etc...

[Etaoin]

Alright. Let me get this straight.

I assume that you are their "buddy" because you espouse the same positions as they do. You accept fantasy as being factual!

I would say that Michael Moore, IF HE WAS BOO'ED OFF THE STAGE, was treated with more courtesy than he deserved! If he presented his stuff as satire, that is his privilege, but he presents it as truth which makes him a bald-faced liar and a charlaton! Politics is a dirty business and can be brutal. However, when there is an apparent unanimity of and within the media (with the exception of Fox and perhaps a few others) there is something rotten within the media. (If you do not understand what it is, it is the unanimity of opinions taught within the aegis of the educational system which is pure propaganda and indoctrination!

I have not seen Moore's work, nor do I wish to, but from his appearances on /in the media, I have no doubt that he is a charlaton. In my opinion, Michael Moore is proof positive that no one is completely worthless, AFTER ALL, they can always serve as a bad example!

[Riverboat]

I suspect that Ann Coulter is really a liberal. Michael Moore, ect. can't even come close to promoting liberalism as effectively as she does.I've often thought the same thing bout Michael Moore. He'd make a believer out of me - a Republican believer.

[DoctorDoom]

It suspect that the troll is another of FSTDT's fawning lackeys. Pfffffft!

[Bluemoon_Rising]

To the lib, truth is obtuse and offensive.

Hey Blue, GREAT to see you again! THAT deserves quote of the month, imho!



OFF TOPIC:

I think we need to add a category to the end of the year awards (if we are having them this year). We should have a listing of "Notable Quotables" by our wonderful Freecers. I have seen several that are simply brilliant. Just something to think about for those "in the know" who put together the nominations. Speaking of which, shouldn't that list be appearing soon so we can all have a chance to vote? Some people will be going out of town, and with Christmas approaching may not be online as much as usual.

Sorry for the off-topic ... I know return you to your regularly scheduled thread. :smirky:

[Wyatt_Junker]

Her "biting humor" looks like nothing more than hate speech from a liberal point of view.

Maybe you should rub some Banana Boat lotion on your nipples if they're so sensitive. Either that or try the clip-on balls from Ronco. Hair is extra though. It comes in Chia paste that you have to water daily.
