"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".

Actually, Natalie Nordseth is one of the GOOD GUYS!
As Managing Editor of the campus newspaper (The Loyolan), she was one of the driving forces behind getting Ann on campus...
...in the face of threatened disclipinary action -- for violating LMU's "hate speech" codes, by inviting Ann.

Did you notice how this report about Ann's visit is written in a tone reminiscent of how the ACLU explains itself when it goes to court to defend marches by Illinois Nazis?

"Even Illinois Nazis have the First Amendment right to freedom of speech."
"Even Ann Coulter has the First Amendment right to freedom of speech."

Loyolan Managing Editor Natalie Nordseth arranged Coulter's visit. "We chose Ann Coulter because we knew she'd get people's attention," she 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."
