Here is a MORE RECENT article about tomorrow's event...

...with a much longer TITLE (which did not fit into the thread title that I had carefully crafted for this thread)...

...from www.laloyolan.com:

First Amendment Week brings prominent voices

The week of activities aims to raise awareness on campus.

By: Rachel Jones

Issue date: 1/18/06 Section: News

The wait is over. Students longing to hear the voices of two controversial political commentators will have their chance tomorrow when Republican Ann Coulter and Democrat James Carville speak on campus as part of the Loyolan's fourth annual First Amendment Week.

First Amendment Week kicked off yesterday with an event in the Lair during convocation hour that featured a video of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Today at 5 p.m., the Loyolan will host an open forum in the Living Room to discuss the newspaper's strengths and weaknesses.

?"We wanted students to have the opportunity to criticize the newspaper so that we can continue to improve," said Stephen A. Murphy, the Loyolan's editor in chief. "This is everyone's newspaper, so we want to hear as much input as possible."

Journalists have long valued the First Amendment, which among other things forbids the United States government from infringing on freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

First Amendment Week was first held during the 2002-2003 school year and was not without controversy. Larry Flynt, the founder of Hustler magazine and head of Larry Flynt Publications, had accepted an invitation from the Loyolan to discuss freedom of speech. In a move that many saw as ironic, the administration barred Flynt from coming to campus, saying his message was not in line with the university's mission. The decision marked the first time Flynt had ever been denied the opportunity to speak at a university.

The main event this week will feature speeches by Coulter and Carville. It will be held tomorrow night at 6 p.m. in Burns Back Court. For more information on the two speakers, see the special First Amendment Week insert in this week's issue.

The YAFers also have an AMAZING photograph of our favorite conservative "poster girl" for sale here:

The Beauty of Conservatism

Man I wish I could get to Loyola tomorrow night to see that!

AC will hand Carville his lunch! LMAO

[jude24]

Why Ann Coulter? If you take out the polemical rhetorical barbs, her columns are nothing more than Republican talking points.

I don't get what the fascination is with her. She's certainly not the most articulate spokesman the conservatives have. I've seen her "debate" Janet Reno - and Janet Reno cleaned the floor with her! Janet Reno!

[Emmett McCarthy]

This story involves another Jesuit - supposedly "Catholic" - school. I fully expect them to embarass themselves.

[Brilliant]

LMU will soon welcome the voice behind arguably the most feisty Barbie doll ever made.

Rachel sounds like a sexist.

[Brilliant]

Gerstmann described Coulter as a "polarizing figure."

"I view her as having a detrimental impact on public discourse," he said. "She is often dishonest in her rhetoric and chooses to attack opposing ideas in the most extreme terms rather than look for common ground."

They way he describes her, you'd think she was Hillary.

Actually, Ann's college appearances this spring seem to be a part of her PRE-book tour. :o)

"We chose Ann Coulter because we knew she'd get people's attention," she (Loyolan Managing Editor Natalie Nordseth) said. "Coulter's speech will help remind the student body what the First Amendment allows, and I hope that it will encourage students to really think about their rights."

This sounds like condescending pandering. Oh, thank you, Mz. Nordseth for allowing us to kiss your @ss.

I wonder if Ms. Coulter knows she's being treated like a "token conservative".

Bring food.

[rownessarow]

i go to lmu, and will be attending the speeches tommorow. should be interesting.

[ajolympian2004]

Michelle Malkin coming to Boulder on March 1st... Woo Hoo! I can get my book signed! Thanks for posting this!

[Lancey Howard]

BUMP! Great post!

LMU: Loyola Marymount University. This Jesuit run school had Hank Gathers and Bo Kimble on the basketball team from 87-90.

Paul Westhead was the coach and they hold the NCAA Div 1 record for taking part in the 5 highest scoring games in NCAA history.

This has nothing to do with this post, outside of the school. :)

Even some of Coulter's employers have had trouble with her strong words. MSNBC fired Coulter after she told a disabled Vietnam War veteran, "People like you caused us to lose that war."

Good Grief! I didn't see or hear of this, but let me guess. The disabled veteran was an outspoken critic of the War on Terror, and seeked to undermined America's effort to win. The undermining our effort to win was the point of Coulter's remark, not that he was a disabled veteran.

Hey Rachel, if I'm wrong, I pledge seek out and read any/all forthcoming articles that you author. If I'm right, you quit journalism and seek an occupation where thoroughness is not a requirement. Like, say, an advisor for the Democrat Party.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"In October 2004, two University of Arizona students threw pies at Coulter while she was giving a speech in front of 2,500 people at the university. The men missed Coulter, but were arrested and spent the night in the Pima County Jail. According to the Daily Wildcat student newspaper, a student group known as "Al Pieda" claimed responsibility."

This occurrance shows that our universities are not teaching the true meaning of, Freedom of Speech". It does not give anyone the right to infringe upon another person's rights. That is exactly what happens when one is belligerent toward another person-rude, mean, nasty, verbally abusive, physically abusive. I'm thinking something similar happened recently at a Connecticut university. So...Why did not all the special interest groups become, "Outraged" at this occurrance. First and foremost, women's groups should have jumped at the chance to protect the right's of women. Seems like it was two men who attempted to take them away. Okay then...Where Are You?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

MSNBC fired Coulter after she told a disabled Vietnam War veteran, "People like you caused us to lose that war."

This is misleading and out of context. Guess the writer had to sneak something in there somewhere.

Notice that she is not speaking at the most radical of leftist bastions, UW Madison, UC Berkely, UO Eugene, UW Seattle, or her own alma mater in Ithaca.
