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.
Ann, Ann, Ann.
Dems have NO sense of humor. Bad call, Ann.
I should like to commit suicide by creme brulee!
Second, she got a writeup in the media so that the larger context of her speech was published far beyond a college campus in Little Rock. Usually the liberal media has no interest in covering any conservative's speech. But they'll cover Coulter's speeches because she'll occasionally say outrageous things. The trick is to be just outrageous enough to generate controversy and free media coverage without going so far beyond the pale that the average joe doesn't know it's all in frolic.
Coulter plays the media like a drum, one of the few that is able to do it, and do it consistently well.
We're fortunate to have her on our side.
Actually, she's an inmate.
Well, I can assure you that I'm older than three and that I know she wasn't being serious. That's not the point, however. You can quit with the defense of these latest remarks being taken out of context. They weren't. She said them and they were in poor taste. Gaffes like these only hurt her credibility.
I've been one of Ann Coulter's hugest fans and still think she is brilliant. For some reason though, she really enjoys munching on her foot and it really is annoying to watch and impossible to defend.
Sure, let's become just like those sleasy people... NOT!
I am so relieved to see somebody else say that.
"Our" people are just as bad as "their" people.
Add her to the list:
Alan Keyes
Larry Klayman
Pat Robertson
Pat Buchanan
Bob Barr
and too many more to remember.
Yeah, well, we're not THEM. Understand?
No, there are plenty on the democratic side who are outspoken. The problem is that they're just mean, not witty or funny, and not the least bit entertaining.

And the DUers are absolutly going berzerk over it!
Falling down, rolling in the dirt slobbering all over themselves (Well, they do that anyway), beating their heads on the walls and floors. eyes rolling back in their heads, wetting and other things in their panties.
In other words, nothing new over there.
Sorry but the conservative answer to Lil Kim is a burlap bag and a billiard ball gag. At least THIS conservative.
Ann knows how to get free publicity by giving the "objective" media a title line!
Most people couldn't even find one of these black heritage institutions. Ann Coulter speaking at one is penetration! I forgive her use of juvenile humor before a juvenile audience.
True, true. I retract my statement. If someone jokes about murder as a way to decide our leadership then we should immediately condemn it, despite who says it, because liberals might take it seriously being that they have dog IQ. They might see it as giving permission. Shame on Ann and shame on me for not condemning it beforehand, although I wouldn`t mind seeing Hillary get a nice dose of rabies, not that anyone would notice the change in attitude.
We need someone on the Democratic side who is as outspoken as she is.........................
No, you need someone on the Democratic side who is as SMART as she is.
Then again, if they WERE as smart, they would not BE in the Democratic Party.
I didn't approve of it when Malveaux said it and I don't approve of Coulter saying such things. Some things are not funny.
eeeewwww - just too skinny
It's just, not funny.
