She’s doing it for publicity. She saw that Milo faced this at Berkeley.

Maybe she's doing it for the publicity or maybe not. One can cynically claim that about anybody doing the right thing, that they are doing the right thing because of ulterior motives.

Who cares.

It's the right thing and it's important what she is doing.

Why are you so hung up on the Cult of Personality, where one is obsessed on liking or disliking somebody?

The administration does not run the school. The rioters do.

Of course she is but she is also in this important free speech fight and the total control of the education system by the left. If we don’t win at least some ground on campuses we can kiss all our freedoms goodbye as well as any conservative political power short of gaining it by blood.

Because she’s not nice. She had endorsed Christie and Romney in 2012, then she takes credit for Trump.

Can POTUS compel the National Guard to keep the peace, since Gov Moonbat would never do it?
It would take overwhelming numbers. If not, maybe a few thousand off duty police and bikers.

Hold the rally on the front steps of the Berkeley police department.

David Horowitz has been doing this for years. Campuses will always be anti-conservative.

Smart move by Coulter.
I would not trust my safety to Berkeley. They have no real incentive to keep certain speakers safe and a lot of incentives not to.

There are far less risky ways to get publicity. I've had my past issues with Ann Coulter myself, her taste in Presidential candidates is often not aligned with mine. But, she does have the courage of her convictions and she does argue for our side with great wit and intelligence. She's just snarky enough to have an unannounced special guest, too, which would be fun.

“Unfortunately, UCPD determined that, given currently active security threats, it is not possible to assure that the event could be held successfully...due to the fact that our security officers and Berkeley police are completely stoned out of their minds...they feel far too groovy to be aggressive...” /S

But now she’s not going to Berkeley.

Especially since she’s complied with a whole bunch of stupid restrictions that they never place on leftist speakers. Now they finally thought up a restriction that can’t be complied with: speaking during exam reading time.

You must’ve read a different article. What I’ve read indicates that she’s vowed to speak on April 27, apparently with or without a venue provided by the university.

Who cares. She's too skinny, she's got a long face, whatever. It's not like you're going to marry it.

What counts right now is what she is doing at Cal and it's important.

You sound just like CNN and the Huffington Post.
Bet she has sold more books than you.
Has anyplace wanted you to be a speaker?

I’m not going to forget her attacking the Tea Party a few years ago and also calling Mitch McConnell a great leader then.

“If she comes to the Sproul Hall Plaza, that is naturally the well-known, decades old, preferred Riot Expressway Area in Berkeley.

The riot will unfold with the precision of fine Swiss watch.

I don’t care where she starts out speaking, later on she will need a portable bullhorn with lots of spare batteries.

And she needs a helmet and clear swim goggles.”

LOL. Great post.

I typically read Coulter’s books completely within 5 days of their availability. I feel certain that I am not too unique in this regard.

She is regularly on local radio programs as well as several national programs and political TV shows.

That is not indicative of ‘ hasbeennrss.’ Au Contraire.

She was one of the earliest persons to publicly support Trump in media.

I don’t get all this attack here. We all had to at times support candidates that were not good, because the alternative was some radical leftist like Obama or Hillary or Deval Patrick.

Ann is a great Trump supporter. I’d rather have 10 more people like her than a 1000 FR armchair supposed conservatives.
