Ann Coulter speech cancelled after thousands protest

OTTAWA—Security officials have scrubbed American right-winger Ann Coulter’s speech at the University of Ottawa after a boisterous protest prompted concerns for her safety.

A spokesman for the group that organized the event said there were fears for Coulter’s well-being after about two thousand people gathered outside the venue to protest her presence there.

Coulter is a darling of the U.S. right-wing who uses incendiary language to sell millions of books as well as her syndicated column.

She sparked more controversy during a speech at University of Western Ontario Monday night when she told a 17-year-old Muslim student to “take a camel” instead of a the flying carpet she has previously suggested Muslims use for transportation.

Even before her Canadian tour began, Coulter received a pre-emptive and private caution about the limits of free speech in this country from the provost of the University of Ottawa.

The letter was immediately leaked to select conservative news organizations, with Coulter telling one that the university was “threatening to criminally prosecute me for my speech.”

Cattle prods, tasers , mace, smoke bombs, M-80's, and Blockbusters, for starters.

Proportionate response.

Let the marxists escalate and retaliate with no mercy at all.

Cleaning up our garbage after the "Tea Party" while the red sons of bitches look on, snicker derisively and then use every means necessary to achieve their goals is a prescription for disaster.

If both of my great uncles, who fought in WW2, were alive today, they would be scratching their heads wondering how the Allied countries turned into such fascist states today.

By believing the myth that the Government actually gave a damn about individuals. No government ever did nor never will. Government was created to do things that individuals could not and would not do themselves. Those limited responsibilities are not enough for an enterprise, like any other enterprise, wants to grow and it has, by promising to do things for us that we could have done on our own.

It is always willing to go above and beyond is duty -- for a price in treasure and freedom.

This just in. CTV Canadian television news.

The news cameras showed but very little commotion. They showed the two hundred supporters of Ann filing in quietly. They were chanting "we want Ann". Ok, then Ezra Levant came to the podium. He said that safety concerns were raised for Ann's safety. He blistered the University and the climate that had been engendered. The meeting was off.

The cameras panned outside. It seemed that there was a bit of milling, Maybe they did not show more but- two thousand protesters, no way. All seemed under control. The woman pictured here made a statement and the muslim woman said she had been "stabbed in the heart".

We Canadians might be getting the wrong end of biased reporting here. We all know that Ann is not going to get even the semblance of a fair shake. We know that first reports are often exaggerated. This happens all the time with the media. Wait until the dust settles and there might be a different take.

Ann still got a rotten deal though.

Judging from this garbage, it sounds like the “left wing” hates the “right wing” and doesn’t think that freedom of speech (AND THOUGHT) is a very good idea.

Funny, I wasted five minutes of my time watching Bill O'Reilly tell us that if the conservative movement so much as uses name calling the left will win.

They can use open death threats but we have to sit and take it.

Ramp it up is what I say. It is a long time coming.

We have the weapons--and knowledge of use thereof.

They have placards and offensively loud voices. And not much more.

Bring it. Bring it.

...non-muslim women should NEVER date or marry or procreate with muslim men.

Sally Fields in the Movie 'Not Without My Daughter' showed why.

The world has gone mad. At least North America

No, when America goes, the whole world will sink pretty fast. Our country is what's standing between the world and annihilation.

Somewhere around before or shortly when America sinks, Jesus will come back to take his own because the end will be at hand.

I hope she is alright. The only violence I see comes from the Obama like crowd.

FLASH! RECENT local photo of salivating, hate-filled crowd reaction to Ann Coulter in Canada tonight (23 March).

One picture worth thousand words.

Check out the dude with the Hamas/Fatha terrorist كوفية‎ around his neck.

"The world has gone mad"

Yep. Just like in 1930s, when Germany was rearming itself and Hitler's Mein Kampf was all the rage, and the French schoolchildren were taken to see the obligatory movies about internationalism.

Not only is the obvious no longer obvious to many --- those people view as obvious the exact opposite of reality.

I am afraid, the consequences will be similar.

You know next time we encounter liberal Oppression of this sort we all need to play “confuse and humiliate the liberal”.

This is achieved by playing against their inherent narcissism and their sense of moral superiority.

Scenario One: They start protesting our free speech rights by yelling and forming a unruly mob. Shouting profanities and making baseless liberal empty headed accusations.

Tactic One: Join arms with your fellow conservative and sing a song back at them in unison. Sing it in a sarcastic tone to remind those pot smoking dope head liberals about the time they forgot, (apparently the 60’s). I would love to see a bunch of liberals start protesting another Ann Coulter event and her supporters outside all of a sudden join arms at the elbows together and start singing a very sarcastic version of “kumbayah” together. I think either one of two results would occur, either their brains would melt down in a “divide-by-zero” event, or they would get really pissed off and they would start doing foolish things to attract the attention of the law enforcement in the area, leaving us looking like the honest good citizens we are.

Scenario Two: Infil-traitors at a tea party event.

Tactic Two: Form a “human chain ring” around the offender and move the whole circle to the edge of the protest area and then expel them like cell expelling the waste that they are.

If anyone else has any better ideas, post ‘em. We could use them.

Hey, Rome2000: if you’re such a badass, why are you sitting in your mother’s basement eating pie and posting on the Internet? If you’re in favor of causing millions of dollars in damage in order to send a message, why aren’t you out there doing it yourself?

Because you’re FULL OF CRAP, that’s why.

"Oh wow, I am sure they probably took her out of context, but that is damn funny. Take a camel lol."

Hilarious. I'm reminded of the time that "B-1" Bob Dornan referred to some opponents as "Lesbian Spear-Chuckers." The hullabaloo that ensued stretched for days, with wall-to-wall coverage on local and even national publications. So he called a press conference to apologize. He got up, looking chastened and contrite. He apologized, saying he should never have called them Lesbian Spear-Chuckers. Instead he should have called them Lesbian Javelin-Throwers...

Pandemonium. Gad I miss him.

Nice. The liberals threaten imminent physical violence against persons and property, and it is the sole conservative speaker who is blamed for the matter and whose speech is suppressed. Good going, Canada, spot on!
