From the pre-FReep thread:

To: Republicus2001

During Carville’s opening statements he was explaining his credentials. Carville was bragging about his ‘4.0’ in school. Which we found out was his blood alcohol level during graduation. It didn’t seem to bother him that he always got D’s and F’s in college because in the end it really didn’t matter after what the demarcate party has done for him today. One student stood up and told him how she wanted to be just like him, there was a large applause in the audience. He explained how he was very disappointed that he didn’t take a masturbation class because he would have gotten an ‘A’ in that class.

Carville stated many times how corrupt the Bush administration is as though it ONLY happens in the Bush administration. One example of his many lies was when he stated that only one person from the Clinton administration went to prison.

To his credit Carville was straight forward and on point. In short much easier understood than Coulter. Coulter made dozens of good and interesting points but she said them in such a way you REALLY had to keep up with politics to know what she was saying. Even my wife had to ask me what she was talking about a couple times.

There was some heckling from the back against Coulter and a staged ‘walk out’ of about 10 people. Most of the people were respectful but there was some serious anger in the room.

I believe Ann Coulter is great, I never seen her live before tonight. I think she was distracted or tired. She did make a great comeback when one student said she was taking a critical thinking and rhetorical reading class and yet she was reading from a pamphlet and really knocking Coulter hard (the student took it to a personal level.) Ann simply asked her why are you reading from a pamphlet if you are taking that class?

Another comeback was when a student asked a long question part of it asking her, why she is trying to take women’s right of speech away? Coulter responded paraphrased, “why would I do that? That is how I earn my living and everything else you asked is simply moronic.”

Twice Ann didn’t answer the question that was given to her. This is why I think she was tired or distracted. For example one guy stood up and gave her a softball question, in my opinion. He said, ‘Carville and yourself show the extremes in both parties, what about people like me that are in the middle?’
Ann answered by saying how lunatic fringe the Demarcate party is today. A student stood up (out of order) and said, “You don’t listen, do you? Why don’t you answer his question?” Ann replied, “I did.”

The loudest response of the night came when a student asked Ann something like, ‘I respect the first amendment but don’t you feel anything when you use your rhetoric to hurt good people while you are making millions from what you say?’ (I don’t remember what Ann said but she did NOT answer the question.) Here is an article on this in the Laloyolan (school paper):
Students fill Burns Back Court for Carville and Coulter
