Maybe they can utilize their many screennames for some "performance art" and amuse themselves out of their funk.

Arrest made at Coulter speech
Student arrested, charged with disorderly conduct after offensive question
By Yashoda Sampath
Incessant heckling and shouting culminated in an arrest Tuesday night during a speech by Ann Coulter, an extreme right-wing pundit, at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum.
Shouts became so pervasive during the question-and-answer session that Coulter informed the organizers she would no longer take questions if the hecklers were not silenced. For a time, the shouts were considerably lessened, until the issue of gay marriage was broached.
Coulter said she supported the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman on the basis that a good woman civilizes and inspires a man to strive for something better, leading to a question that was met with a stunned silence.
"You say that you believe in the sanctity of marriage," said Ajai Raj, an English sophomore. "How do you feel about marriages where the man does nothing but f--- his wife up the ass?"
UT Police officers approached Raj to arrest him, resulting in a mass exodus of protesters chanting, "Let him go."
"The person had been disruptive the entire event," said Matt Hardigree, former Student Events Center president. "He took the opportunity to say something lewd and offensive and then made masturbatory gestures as he exited."
Hardigree said that Cheryl Wood from the Office of the Dean of Students spoke with some of the protestors before the event, and assorted members of the Distinguished Speakers Committee asked them to sit in the back if they had signs and to leave quietly if they wanted to leave.
According to Jeffrey Stockerwell, a friend of Raj, officers violently seized Raj and illegally searched him after his question.
Police have charged Raj with disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor.
Representatives of the Austin People's Legal Collective were taking statements from everyone at the scene, in case it should be taken to court.
Raj worked at the Texan on a volunteer basis for a brief time in March.
Before the speech began, the International Socialist Organization protested outside of the library, with about 12 people holding up signs with slogans such as "Racist, sexist, anti-gay, right-wing bigot go away" and "Stop the new McCarthyism."
The booing began early into Coulter's speech, when she issued a joke to pro-choice advocates.
"I wonder why those 'I Heart Partial-Birth Abortion' T-shirts aren't selling better," she said, followed by a combination of cheers and jeers.
Coulter went on to decry the conservative media bias she said liberals complain of, and she challenged the undemocratic actions of liberals with respect to Iraq and to the judiciary.
"They're always trying to act like they're oppressed," she said. "So let's do it. Let's oppress them."
One student asked Coulter why universities and institutions place microphones in front of Coulter when she advocates terrorism against liberals, prompting Coulter to mention the strength of her book sales. Coulter has had four New York Times best sellers.
The $30,000 event was co-sponsored by the Texas Union Student Events Center and Student Endowed Centennial Lectureship Committee.
! that's bad !
Maybe they can utilize their many screennames for some "performance art" and amuse themselves out of their funk.
Perhaps in his culture this is the traditional way husbands have sex with their wives...and other forms of life.
"The person had been disruptive the entire event," said Matt Hardigree, former Student Events Center president. "He took the opportunity to say something lewd and offensive and then made masturbatory gestures as he exited."
And this same writer calls Ann Coulter, an extreme right-wing pundit.
Leftist weenies!
pffft.....no bias here I see
fair enough. but I would venture to bet that the vast majority of indians of hindu descent are very pro american and strong supporters of the president. I just wanted to make the point that one moron does not a race make.
Better that Ann should exercise her Constitutional right to bear arms?
She is, after all, considerably smaller, in stature at least, than most of her would-be assailants.
Baseball bats, by comparison, would be a kindness.
And perhaps, a learning experience.
Fine.
No "racial profiling" then.
But let's at least get rid of this particular Hindu MF, OK?
It sounds just like a liberal sort of thing. :)
Good One.
I have no problem with racial profiling. Profile all you want. But I think this is about profiling. When a group of people of a particular race keep popping up commiting a certain act, then you can tag that race with the act. Im only pointing out that every race has its idiots. Jane Fonda claims to be a good christian. Lets gid rid of that particular christian B****, OK? The guy in Texas is an ass first, then indian second. It pisses me off, as an indian and a conservative when people on these threads bring up his race and religion, ones that I share mind you, when talking about what an idiot he is. I gurantee you DUer trolls are pointing here and saying what hypocrites we are for preaching color blindness and then qualifying his idiocy with his race and religion.
Yeah, Mr Raj seems like a real intelligent kinda guy:

Oh thank you thank you thank you for allowing me to see this. I have tears, partly of joy and partly of laughter, after reading this link, and some of the other links found therein, all the way to DU. This has made my week, at least!
My name is 'Legion'.
Sounds hindu
She really walked into the lions den on that one. They tend to forget they live in Texas up in Austin, especially at UT and the State Capitol.
This is a copycat of the one that asked what's his name, the dago SC justice the same question a couple of weeks ago.
It's like the fat ladies getting naked. They think it shocks us. They fail to realize we got over that about 25 years ago. Old news, same old, same old. SSDD.
I agree with you, and I am sorry that some of your fellow "conservatives" are so hypocritical. It seems that a lot of people are far too quick to throw out the race issue or the religion issue on this board, and it just gives the enemy more ammunition. Very sad.
