Upcoming Speech At USC By Ann Coulter Sparks Vitriol, Protest Plans
The College Fix ^ | 11-5-2013 | Jennifer Kabbany - Associate Editor

Posted on 11/06/2013 5:41:43 AM PST by markomalley

Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is slated to speak at the University of Southern California this Sunday, an event that has prompted talk of a protest and a firestorm of online controversy on Facebook, where many USC students called the best-selling author and political pundit an anti-Muslim xenophobic demagogue.

“I’m gonna be really surprised if this women makes it out of USC alive lol,” wrote one student on the event’s evite on Facebook. “Based upon her ignorance and the amount of hate she’s brought, I expect a riot this Sunday. Not advocating such a thing of course but if it were my decision.”

Hundreds of comments between students who called Coulter names and expressed shock and outrage that she was set to talk on campus and those who defended her upcoming visit and called for diversity of opinion to be respected were posted within the span of just a day. Most students first got wind of Coulter’s pending appearance after the school’s mainstream political student assembly promoted the event Sunday on its Facebook page.

Jennifer Massey, president of the USC College Republicans, which is co-hosting the appearance along with Hancock Park Patriots and several other Los Angeles-based conservative organizations, said in an interview with The College Fix on Monday that she is disappointed by the Facebook comments.

“The vile hatred is ridiculous, it’s crazy,” she said. “We don’t get many conservative speakers on campus. We believe in free speech.”

Massey said some students emailed campus administrators about cancelling the event, and there is talk about a campus protest at the speech Sunday, part of a stop on Coulter’s book tour, as she recently released “Never Trust a Liberal Over Three-Especially a Republican.”

USC College Republicans have been tasked with developing a protest reaction plan and paying for campus security at the event, she added.

In “enlightened” academia, the only opinions allowed are those of the far, far Left.

Ann is definitely bucking the trend to appear here.

Dear Leader's minions will attempt to shout her down.

Nothing must be allowed to delay National Socialist healthcare rationing, the tool that the statists will used to beat freedomistas into submission.

Yet they’ll welcome communists to speak even though communism is responsible for 100 million deaths (and counting - see Obamacare) which to me makes it 3 times as worse as Nazism which was responsible for 25 million. So in other words a woman who writes books and articles bashing liberals is more horrific than someone like Bill de Blasio who supports a political system responsible for world wide holocausts.

She’s trying to make us forget her flirtation with the Governor of New Jersey.

From the article: ““I’m gonna be really surprised if this women makes it out of USC alive lol,” wrote one student on the event’s evite on Facebook. “Based upon her ignorance and the amount of hate she’s brought, - - - “

Libtard hypocrisy in plain sight, and they are so dumb they don’t know it. Openly showing hatred for Ann because of their perceived hatred of Ann’s.

Ah yes, the University of Spoiled Children.

I remember being there in 1984 when Wally Mondull had an event scheduled. 15 minutes before he showed up, 3 buses of “college students” show up with their signs and what not. He was practically he keeled off the stage. My father called me up that night chuckling about his reception. His campaign crapped out from there.

Given that it is Ann Coulter, she will get in, give her speech and get out, leaving a trail of figurative and, if necessary, literal carnage behind.

They should get the American Legion Riders out there with their American Flags and form a barrier between those kids with brains full of mush and Coulter protect her.

Unfortunately Ann my not be protected. Most of these forums in the past ended badly.

The Police stand by and do nothing. I was involved in one in Chicago. Police did nothing to stop the Commies and did nothing to protect us on stage.

Thank God I had a friend who was also a Christian, who was also a Chgo Police officer who walked me to my car, but that happened because he knew me.

Here are some examples:

Hundreds of comments between students who called Coulter names and expressed shock and outrage

It's simply petulance. So much for their desire for "diversity."

Obviously, the poster of that threat against the life of Ms. Coulter will be tracked down (with Face Book’s assistance) and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
