Outspoken American pundit Ann Coulter gives a London speech Monday
-----
American conservative firebrand Ann Coulter won't be in London until Monday but already the dust is flying.
Local activist and one-time NDP candidate Megan Walker says of Coulter, "She's venomous . . . She crosses the line and promotes hatred and violence."
Walker's comments provoked a response from a woman instrumental in bringing Coulter to London, Mary Lou Ambrogio, whose group, the International Free Press Society, is paying $10,000 for the appearance, the balance of Coulter's fee coming from an American group that promotes conservatism in young women, the Claire Boothe Luce Policy Institute.

Ambrogio said Coulter was chosen to test the tolerance of Londoners for free speech, a test she says Walker has flunked.
"She pays lip service to free speech," Ambrogio said.
While Coulter pushes peoples' buttons, she doesn't incite criminal activity nor hatred, she said.
"That's pretty outrageous," Ambrogio said, challenging Walker to "prove it."
Walker responded with 10 comments made by Coulter including:
"My only regret with (bombing terrorist) Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."
After American abortion doctor George Tiller was gunned down in church last year, Coulter was asked to condemn the killing by conservative Fox host Bill O'Reilly. She replied: "I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester . . . I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others."
Ambrogio defended Coulter, saying, "Incitement to violence is very specific and these comments, while they may be offensive or hurtful to the people involved are not criminal . . Ms. Coulter, like millions of others, happens to believe that terminating the fetus is murder. She is simply using their language in a clever way, I think, to point out how absurdly their language strikes those who defend abortion."
Walker's comments have served to shine the spotlight on Coulter's visit, and in doing so, has sapped attention from another American visiting two days later, Robert Kennedy Jr., a talk paid for by Western.

Hahaha!
Go Ann!
She’ll be welcome in Alberta, and if she needs protection while travelling this socialist hellhole that is Canada, I’m sure myself and few ex platoon-mates could handle the job:)
No sense of humour Libtard.
Robert Kennedy Jr. is being invited by, and paid for, a speech by the local university (UWO).
Coulter has stolen their thunder.
She has created even more socialist envy (if that is possible).
Hatred is the way you exterminate enemies. If they are not hated, they will survive. Hatred assures extermination.
Utopia will not have any conservatives. They will be dead and gone.
;-)
Liberals are just ignorant. Ann has a great sense of humor, you need at least a little understanding of sarcasm.
I hope she gets in a few gay slurs to send those Human Rights Commissions into a tizzy (make sure the jet is fueled and has clearance for a quick take off).
Who in the heck, other than drug dealers, would want to waste 2 hours of time listening to robert kennedy jr.?
AC rules!
Ping
Looked in the mirror lately?
Looked in the mirror lately? I’m a Canadian living in this socialist hellhole, unfortunately I don’t understand your point, perhaps you can elaborate.
Canada is not a free country, they take your hard earned money with no chance of opting out to pay for things that we’ll never know the full extent of, not to mention the human rights tribunals which are so offensive to freedom I don’t understand why more Canadians don’t demand their demise.
They are going nuts there...
Ann Coulter not welcome at U of O, president of student federation says The president of the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa has barred a volunteer organizer from putting up posters advertising the upcoming appearance of American right-wing columnist and political commentator Ann Coulter.
She is to talk about political correctness, media bias and freedom of speech Tuesday night at Marion Hall as part of a Canadian lecture tour. Canadian conservative political activist Ezra Levant will also speak at the event and introduce Coulter.

You really have to be a moron to miss the humor in that.
Well that and the fact that Robert Kennedy Jr. is a know-nothing, vapid sap whose only claim to fame is that he's from a family of degenerate rapists and murderers.
