“I can’t believe she used ‘rape’ as an adjective, first of all,” said Katie Weiss, 22, after the speech and Q&A. “Second of all, I can’t believe that when she talked about single motherhoods, she completely went in a circle. First she said that we don’t blame deadbeat dads, or we don’t enforce deadbeat dads, and then she talked about all the ways in which deadbeat dads are talked about in media in a positive light. Then said that we shouldn’t support deadbeat dads. That doesn’t make sense.”

“I don’t know where she got her facts, she never stated one source,” Weiss continued. “It was like going into a stand-up comedy. If she had been portrayed as a stand-up comedy I think I would have laughed, I would have had a really good time.”

“And not only that, she offended every single minority group: single mothers, Muslims, gays,” added Mike Moynihan, 23.

“What appalled me the most was she was looking at that young woman in the face and didn’t even apologize for that flying carpet remark,” said Joe Marnen, 21. “She said it was a fact that if [Muslims] boycotted the airports that we’d all be safer.”

Meanwhile, DePaul College Republicans felt the event went well.

“I think we got a lot of conservative students who don’t get their voices heard on campus,” said Dan Dunham, 24, the vice president of DePaul College Republicans. “They got to hear they’re not alone, that a lot of these opinions are being espoused off campus and I think that resonated with a lot of them. I think for the more liberal students, hopefully they got a chance to hear that other side that they just don’t hear in class.”

With regards to the protest, Dunham said, “I think that certainly we all don’t have to agree with her, and I applaud them for coming out. I think it was good that they came — even if they weren’t facing her, they certainly heard what she had to say. They were quiet for the most part, respectful. Would I have preferred that they didn’t turn their chairs around? Yes, I think that was rude to the speaker, but I’m glad that they did come.”

DePaul is one of those so-called Catholic colleges that isn't very Catholic.

Of course the flying carpet comment was from some time ago. I guess that got some of the PC crowd something to remember forever.

The quotes from the young skulls full of mush say it all--devoid of reason, barely able to mount a coherent train of thought. If these are typical college students, we're dead meat America.

I don’t understand if someone didn’t like someone why go and see them and why act like a silly little kid?

I give DePaul credit for inviting her.

“And not only that, she offended every single minority group”

Conservatives are a minority group on almost every campus, we get offended on a daily basis. Get used to it libs!

I wonder if Dan Dunham has traced his family tree.

When I was a kid flying carpet cartoons were common--they seem to have disappeared a long time ago. I don't know if cartoonists were afraid of offending Arabs or just got tired of the theme.

Coulter sparked the biggest outrage from protesters when she talked about abortion, gay marriage/civil unions and single motherhood.

The clearer the truth, the louder the "outrage". There is never a counterargument, just "outrage". It is reactionary "outrage" instead of considering the opposing viewpoint.

Coulter should have ended by telling them about U6 unemployment, how a degree in the Basket Weaving Habits of Migrant Lesbian Womyn doesn't lead to a six figure income and how student loans can't be discharged through bankruptcy!

Last I heard Catholicism doesn't espouse, homosexuality, abortion, or single motherhood.

Hey! What is she...slipping?

What about union thugs, peace queers, vegatarians, global warming worshippers?

She should have repeated her moslem line: "We need to kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."

I've been trying to imagine how Anne used 'rape' as an adjective. "Rape kit" is the only phrase I can recall that has 'rape' as an adjective. Anybody know what Anne said?

It is good that the protesters were quiet, even if they did turn their chairs around in ‘protest’. Sounds like Ann didn’t even acknowledge them, which is a good thing.

It sounds like at least half of the student body of DePaul has controversial and very divisive views offensive to the majority of the ordinary Americans who make this country work.

It sounds like a lot of the lib students did their typical holding their breath until their faces turned blue thing. I seriously doubt any of them went in there with an open mind.

Anyone else notice that when we protest somebody the subjects are mostly criminals but their side protests free ideas and speech from law abiding citizens?

Her divisiveness puts her in excellent company: “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” - Matthew 10:34
