Ann Coulter just finished her speech at UConn, and she was Great! Completely shutout Uconn's liberals.
The lefties showed up in significant numbers but the majority of the crowd was definitely for Ann. Of course the liberals went absolutely nuts during the speech but Ann Coulter just em down, every SINGLE time! And the majority of the conservatives would stand up and cheer everytime they started trying to act up.
At midpoint through her speech some liberals got a hold of the PA system and played a song through the speakers, I couldn't tell what it was. It effectively shut out Ann's speech. I figure some students must have had help from UConn faculty to oranize that. If anyone remembers, during this point the liberals started chanting "you suck", I was the guy in the front that stood up and yelled "No, You Suck!" and put and my arms out in the air and kept saying "what!". They stopped chanting and nobody said anything so i turned around and started clapping and then sat down.
After this charade, they finally got the music off the PA and Ann Coulter was just like "Allright, you want play games, lets see what you got?" and invited everyone up for questions.
Just about every liberal who went up got completely shut down by Ann Coulter. It was hilarious! Every liberal would stand in line all proud like they were gonna show Coulter, but after their question Coulter just shut em down with her answer they ended up walking back all shouting and swearing under their breath. Everytime they got shutout the crowd would started cheering for Ann Coulter's response. The liberals could never give up and keep shouting into the microphone so they would pull the mic out from them. They would always just sit their yelling and finally storming back all swearing and muttering under their breath. I was sitting right up by the line so it was amusing to see how frustrated they got.
A couple liberals in my section would get up screaming some nonsense, and i yelled out "Show some respect", twice they took a look at me and kept their mouth shut. But the third time a girl got up and yelled "$16,000 down the drain!!", so i turned around and was like "show some respect!", the girl looked at me like she was possessed by the devil, she kept screaming "Show some respect!! show some respect!! I'll show respect!! I'll show you" her friends had to grab and make her sit down, i was gonna say something else but i couldn't help laughing and just turn around. Pure example of a foaming-at-the-mouth liberal.
Since the speech was cut short and they went straight to the Q and A, Ann Coulter was only up for a little over an hour. Kind of dissapointing the liberals disrupted it but atleast Ann Coulter made each and everyone of them looking barking fools! Priceless.
Ann is hot!!!!
Well, I like the capitalized "I" because it makes it easier to read, especially when you're reading paragraphs.
And using the little "i" is very distracting.
But - thanks for at least - for not writing everything in caps.
I just watched video of Ann Coulter being shouted down at her latest college appearance. This was on the O'Reilly Factor a short while ago. Doing my tagline duty I just went to DUmmieland to see what they were saying on the video. 24 postings and not ONE supporting her right to be able to give a speech without being shouted down. In fact they applaud the efforts. I just love their views on freedom of speech. To be as disgusted as I, feel free to hold your nose and see for yourselves.

Remember. As hard as it is to visit there, it should be done now and then. I have just built up a greater tolerance for the stench.
My guess is you are majoring in English as a second language.
I have complained to the administration at the Uconn/Storrs campus and have received the following reply:
The University of Connecticut is, and will continue to be, committed to an exchange of ideas from all points of view. The challenge of such a commitment is creating an environment in which such exchanges can be done civilly. Most times, in classrooms, student organizations, and informal discussions, this is the case. On rare occasions, it is not.
As someone who was in attendance at Ms. Coulter’s speech, I found the students to be struggling with one another as much as with Ms. Coulter. The vast majority of students in attendance were respectful and seemed to want to hear what Ms. Coulter had to say. Other students were more interested in expressing their disagreement with her, some in ways that could hardly be called civil.
We must remember that our students are, for the most part, young adults, learning the skills necessary to be engaged and effective citizens. While they usually rise to the occasion and give us cause for pride and affirmation, on occasion, they demonstrate a degree of immaturity that provokes frustration in all of us charged with their education. We remind ourselves regularly that education is a process, one that is marked by both forward progress and occasional stumbles.
Students responded to one another, both during the event and afterwards, and that is our preference—that the conversation about civility and appropriate behavior be one they have with their peers. The role of the administration is to facilitate these conversations, and I am confident that we have done that in various forums across campus.
The faculty and administration of the University of Connecticut will continue to support the introduction of many points of view, and will continue to help our students learn ways in which to respond that truly do advance thoughtful engagement with diverse ideas and individuals.
Thank you again for sharing your important concern.

The excuse of the leftists (those who bothered to make an excuse, which was hardly any) was that "both sides weren't presented." As if they would ever allow any opposing view at their events.
