Ann Coulter at USF: E-mails circulating prior to her visit tonight)

[adorno]

Ann Coulter will be speaking tonight at USF (University of South Florida), a quite liberal university. The following are some typical e-mails circulating on the campus e-mail system.

---

The best way to end Ann’s nonsense is for no one to show up. Simple as that. Don’t bother protesting as that is what she wants. When only her die hard fans appear, and hundreds of seats stay empty, that will be a better message.

---

The determination and definition of hate speech can be highly subjective depending on who you talk to. I hear of some who felt Michael Moore or Al Sharpton, who were also both paid to speak at USF, engaged in forms of hate speech. Restricting any speech is a highly dangerous road to follow.

I don’t think words themselves are damaging. I can only hope that this event inspires the dialog that ULS hoped for and encourages people to become more active in finding solutions to all our social problems and issues.

---

There is an additional issue here, however, that goes beyond the conservative/liberal “divide.” Ann Coulter, in many of her speeches (I’m being diplomatic here), engages in hate speech. Many of the statements she makes are actually illegal in certain locales due to their overly inflammatory nature. I actually enjoy dialogue between multiple viewpoints, and support many of the people that have been brought to campus, even ones I heartily disagree with. I DO have a problem, however, with my student fees being spent on hate speech without my input on where those fees might better be spent (or my taxes, for that matter). Dialogue is a wonderful thing, but I sincerely doubt we will be seeing any tonight.

College towns in America are overrun with young libs. Yes, even in Red States.

Thanks for the report!

[Fresh Wind]

Let me guess. A "free speech zone" is a place where only liberal or "progressive" speech is allowed?

[jellybean]

I'm no fan of hers. She just isn't smart enough.

Would you like to be added to the ping list so you can dazzle us all with your brilliance?

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

[ About half way through the speech portion, they all got up and held up their hands in "peace" signs. Then they all marched out, quite orderly actually. ]

The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to Socialism.- Karl Marx

Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx

Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin

NOTE: Democracy(Mob Rule) is a "holy word" to a liberal...

There's a really easy solution to Ann's problem with these punks:

They're like fungal vampires, they hate exposure. If the good guys took these to her speeches, they'd chill.
Knowing that their free speech attacks will be put up on youtube.com for all to see...

Let me guess. A "free speech zone" is a place where only liberal or "progressive" speech is allowed?

No. The colleges permit "progressive" speech all over campus.

The "free speech zones" are usually an area of a couple hundred square feet where any (read: conservative) speech is permitted.

[Rummyfan]

Will that do?

[cinives]

That's funny given the error in your tag line.

[doc30]

My tag line is fine. But Coulter messed up the science portions of her book with AiG talking points. She lost my respect then and there.

[cinives]

Since you seem to know less about grammar than Ann, I'll give you a hint: tell me what function the word "and" is performing in your tag line.

[Mr. Lucky]

Good'un.

Damn, that is just too funny. Can't take the rest seriously, especially after checking it and then defending it.

Most of them won't care .

And ,,,,,

Who do you think controls the content of 'YouTube' ?

Or more specifically, who controls what is removed ?

[PghBaldy]

Or public education, which is often just reeducation.

[PghBaldy]

Which is pat of the reason I cringe when we (the US) talk of bringing Democracy to the world. Mob (Thug) rule is right.

Actually a digital camera and/or video camera would be/should be standard equipment at any freepin' event democrats show up at..
