I'm the victim of a hate crime, Ann Coulter tells Canadian audience

Controversial columnist and author Anne Coulter speaks at The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, on Monday, March 22, 2010

LONDON, Ont. -- Inflammatory right-wing pundit Ann Coulter took aim at a University of Ottawa administrator on Monday, saying an email from the school warning her to use "restraint, respect and consideration" when addressing Ontario students during a speaking tour this week made her a victim of a "hate crime."

Speaking to students and academics at the University of Western Ontario on Monday night, Ms. Coulter said the email sent to her on Friday by François Houle, vice-president academic and provost of the University of Ottawa, targeted her as a member of an identifiable group and as such, she will be filing a complaint with the Human Rights Commission alleging hate speech.

"I'm sure the Human Rights Commission will get to the bottom of it," Ms. Coulter said to loud cheers from the 800-strong audience. "I think I'm the victim of a hate crime here. Either what [Mr. Houle] did was a hate crime, or the whole commission is B.S."

In Mr. Houle's email, a copy of which was obtained by the National Post, the administrator urges Ms. Coulter to weigh her words with "respect and civility in mind" when she speaks at the University of Ottawa campus on Tuesday.

What is fascinating to me is that liberals refuse to get Ann's satire and sarcasm. How, for heaven's sake, can these university eggheads have never read "A Modest Proposal" Is beautiful to witness their apoplexy sheer horror and they more they skreech the more she twists the knife. Its amazing to me.

LOL dittos.

This will probably get me in trouble, but Ann Coulter reminds me of Abbie Hoffman. Like Ann, he manipulated the media very adroitly using satire, humor, and provocation.

Ann's dreary, humorless opponents walk right into all her traps.

To all, just remember that here in Canada, like in the US, there are conservatives and liberals. Unfortunately, it is the liberal/left that squeaks the loudest and the media (well, most of it) just loves to cater to them (see CBC).

At any rate, remember that there are many here that support here visit to Canada and are disgusted by the reaction of the liberal/left.
