Muddy Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Yes ,but I am consistent when it comes to free speech.Remember how the left stopped an Isralie from speaking at Concordia University in Quebec. Violently. The University cowardly allowed anarchy to prevail. Quote
GostHacked Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Coulter is an idiot and anyone who supports her is just as much of an idiot. There is no way to spin this in any direction. She is nothing more than an attention whore. Just turn her off and walk away. Best thing to do in this case. Quote

Is this your arguement for sending her a letter threatening her with legal action if she uses free speech as she sees it? She is an idilot and an attention whore! Nice arguement. But I am consistent. I will fight for your right to make such crude arguement even though I have come to suspect that some contributers to this disscussion would not back my right to free speech. Quote
Topaz Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Coulter is getting the attention she cravings. She told the people last night at U of Western in London, that SHE was going to go to the Human Rights Tribunal and see if her rights were violated by the e-mail she got from the University of Ottawa. IF you are wondering how she came to be in Canada speaking well, it could have been by the guy before her speaking, Ezra Levant, one of Harper's advisors!! Now we know how she got into the country and wait till she goes back to Hannity show and tells what she thinks of Canadians and our laws. http://www.nationalpost.com/todays-paper/story.html?id=2713966 Quote

You or I would have to capitulate or go broke defending ourselves. so it would be interesting to see the shoe on the other foot. But I suspect the University would be able to use tax dollars for defence. You and I would not. Quote
Argus Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Actually I think here visit to UWO is a good thing and am hoping that the minute she starts to spew her hate language the cops arrest her and show what it means to be in Canada. That there is no freedom of speech here, and that any time some left-wing wack job is offended by her statements the gestapo will drag her off to a prison cell? Alternatively, I suspect that intelligent students will be able to show her for the buffoon she really is. Bring her on.... Would those "intelligent students" include people who understand things like freedom of speech, conscience and association? Or would they, like you, have not the slightest acquaintance with or understanding of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

Argus Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 In the US she can spew all the hate she wants. In Canada however it is a different story. Arrest her, charge her and then boot that embarrassment back the US. Maybe let a few jailhouse women have their way with her first....and post the video on YouTube...but certainly then...boot her ass back across the border. Because in lefty lal-lal land, anyone who says anything offense deserves to be raped.

I will fight for your right to make such crude arguement even though I have come to suspect that some contributers to this disscussion would not back my right to free speech. I would not threaten her at all. She can say whatever she wants, but welcome to Canada, we have free speech here as well. Not my problem if she does not like it. Also not my problem if you don't like it either. I will say only idiots take her words as value, because she is the very definition of attention whore. She says things that are unpopular to generate the frenzy against her. Sorry, let me correct myself, she is a trolling attention whore. Coulter has been doing this for years, and she does it well. It's her shtick. She sells books and gets paid to do speeches that are not popular with the majority of people. I won't stop her for saying anything, at the same time that does not prevent my from saying what is on my mind about her. Quote
nicky10013 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Geeze, the wack jobs on the Left certainly do get upset at the mere mention of the woman. Well, I don't know what Ezra Levant is thinking. Pretty much everyone on the right in the US has disowned her for her penchant to hurl racial slurs and paint liberals as the devil. Why anyone would want to attach their political horses to her must be just as insane as she is, if not more so. She has the right to say what she wants, however, if anything that's better for centrists in both countries. Once people hear through Coulter how truly nuts some of these extreme right wingers are, the easier it becomes. Quote
Shady Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Coulter is an idiot Ah, more of that great intellectual discourse from the left. Quote
nicky10013 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Ah, more of that great intellectual discourse from the left. Yes, because her calling people ragheads raises the intellectual discourse. Which leads me to believe that conservatives don't even know what the term intellectual discourse means. Quote
M.Dancer Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Who the heck is Anne Coulter? Some kind of comedian? Yes. She is an entertainer like Moore or Al Frankin was. Quote RIGHT of SOME, LEFT of OTHERS If it is a choice between them and us, I choose us
GostHacked Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Ah, more of that great intellectual discourse from the left. If you are saying that Coutler is intellectual in her discourse, then you are on the level with her. Quote
Shady Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 If you are saying that Coutler is intellectual in her discourse, then you are on the level with her. I'm sorry that you're so unfamiliar with the use of satire. You may strongly disagree with her. But to call her an idiot is about as idiotic as one can get. Congratulations! Quote
Shady Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Ann Coulter will file grievance with rights panelLondon, Ont. — Inflammatory right-wing pundit Ann Coulter took aim at a University of Ottawa administrator Monday night, saying an e-mail 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 Monday, Coulter said the e-mail sent to her Friday by Francois 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,” 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 BS.” Link This is gonna be fun to watch! My guess is that Francois Houle retracts his remarks and makes an apology. However, I'm not sure that'll be sufficient enough for Ann to drop grievance with the HRC. Btw, you should have seen the smile on Ezra Levant's face when she announced this to the crowd! Quote

But to call her an idiot is about as idiotic as one can get. Congratulations! I think she knows that sounding angry will sell her books. So, on some evolutionary level I think she's a certain level of smart. However, I think that she knows she just doesn't like people. What specifically she doesn't like I'm not sure. I've never heard her do anything but attack people and throw out racial slurs, so on an intellectual level she's about at the same level as a brick. Quote

Shady Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Posted March 23, 2010 Ahhh. So HRCs are bad only when they go after Conservatives. Point taken. No, that's not the point at all. Unfortunately the point seems to have gone way past your head! Quote
nicky10013 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 No, that's not the point at all. Unfortunately the point seems to have gone way past your head! Oh, I get the point. Ezra Levant, thinking that HRCs are panel for Conservative Witch Hunts and is revelling in the fact that he's going to use the same process that pinned him down to pin down someone from the UWO in litigation he KNOWS is bogus. If he's against HRCs, he should be against them. Not use them for revenge. The man is a hypocrite. Quote
Michael Hardner Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 I think the point is that she's going to try to use the system against itself to show its flaws. That's fine, but there are a few things working against her: 1 ) The fact that she's American won't play well, politically. And political damage is the goal of this initiative. 2 ) The fact that she's unable to control herself when under scrutiny. You can see this behavior of hers in interviews. Not sure if it's the uncontrollable rage, or the craziness. 3 ) She's not a group of anything. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner

capricorn Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Or how about these: "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." --on the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller, FOX News interview, June 22, 2009 "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." "If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot." Yeah. She sounds like she goes over the top. The more I find out about her, the more I think she's an entertainer. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
