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.
The students at this school allow her to talk, and evidently listen to her, unlike some of the whiter schools where she often isn't even allowed to speak. Good to know PC doesn't have complete control of the historically black colleges.
She made a homicide joke about a sitting Supreme Court justice. There's no excuse in the world for saying something as stupid as that.
I don't think Anne really meant there to be a 'killin'. But we all know, the Reaper cometh.
That's not a joke, it's a mental aberration.
Ann violated two rules that should never be broken when speaking in public:
I get tired of our people being held to a different standard. We can never make a joke of any kind. Supposed to sit there and take it from the commies like Alito did.
Remember "Henry Hyde should be stoned" by Alec Baldwin.
Or "Charlton Heston should be shot with a Bull Dog .44" by Spike Lee?
Does the Secret Service protect Supreme Court Justices now? I thought the Court had it's own police.
The difference being that the liberals often wait days to say it was a joke, causing one to doubt their veracity.
And I wouldn't have it any other way. When Howard Stern or Al Sharpton says something like this the MSM accepts it in a satirical light as "rhetoric", and lionize them for it. Let's not let them have all the fun.
You and Ann can 'play by liberal rules', but I think I'll keep higher standards.
If we objected to Alec Baldwin's or Spike Lee's or Julianne Malveaux's comments, are we supposed to just cheer Coulter on? If someone puts her foot in her mouth too often, after a while it stops being about one side against the other. I don't know if it's reached that point with Ann, but sooner or later if she keeps misspeaking ...
She has reached the point. We don't need our own Alec Baldwins, Spike Lees, Julianne Malveauxs, etc.
I guess you'll need to add him to your handy little list.
That's quite a strech there, sport.
Reagan has nothing in common with the bunch I listed; for starters, he wouldn't say anything for money; the same cannot be said of the above named people.
Of course, I think they're both funny, but then again I like both of them, so I'm not looking for an excuse to bash them whenever I can get it.
Coulter doesn't have the sense to think about that; she's fulfilling the left's stereotype of her.
Not funny Ann...She's a little too high strung for my taste. I think her rhetoric sometimes sinks to the bottom like democrats.
Having heard Julienne Malevolent lately, I think she sincerely hopes that it happens.
Wow!
