NEW YORK Universal Press Syndicate columnist Ann Coulter "joked" during a Thursday speech that liberal Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens should be poisoned. "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee," Coulter said at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Ark. "That's just a joke, for you in the media."

She made other "off-color" jokes about liberal Supreme Court justices that made the audience "squeal," according to an article today in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. No pies were thrown.

Coulter did provoke some booing, though, especially after she stopped two black men during questions, telling them, "I'm not gonna be lectured to," according to the newspaper account. She also was booed when she said that the crack cocaine epidemic "has pretty much gone away."

Blacks "are the most loyal group for Democrats and you ought to be getting a little more out of them by giving them competition through the Republicans," Coulter said.

She hailed the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, suggesting that now there might be a fair vote on abortion.

Afterward, black students stood around "lashing" back at Coulter's "rhetoric," the newspaper said. One sophomore girl said: "We need someone on the Democratic side who is just as outspoken as she is."

The college president, Walter Kimbrough, had told the audience, that inviting Coulter to speak at the black school made sense because like hip hoppers she is "raw, outspoken, uncensored." He also called her the "conservative answer to rapper Lil' Kim -- [both] attractive and sexy, long-haired blondes. ..."

Coulter said it was "the best introduction" she'd ever had.

Lil' Kim is currently in the middle of a 366-day jail sentence for perjury and conspiracy.

I don't understand.

You call yourself "dumb" and then get upset because I don't agree with you.

I know you hate Coulter, but why turn the hatred on yourself?

"I don't understand."

That is obvious.

It is a liberal zoo, more like a liberal cesspool if you ask me. You wouldn`t believe how absolutely nuts some of them go when they get in my cab and hear I have Rush on the radio, one last week couldn`t come up with a good argument about not confirming Alito, so she said I smelled instead. Yes, boys and girls, the standard liberal philosophy; When you can`t make any sense, go for the personal attacks instead. "Well well well- well Alito should not be on the supreme court because be-- because he will bring back coat hangers and and ...hey, you know you smell!" Anyway, yeah Drew was freggin` awesome. At first I didn`t know who she was, and then I recognized her voice then her face. She asked a million questions, how driving a taxi was, how it works with getting paid, how you get a license, how many hours I work, etc etc she talked to me like a neighbor would. Pretty amazing when you consider the holier than thou liberal pinheads she must work around with everyday.
