Smallc Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 It's unlikely that she would have been charged and jailed in Canada. I haven't see her inciting hate...just stupidity. She could though, have been subject to a civil suit or a HRC complaint, I suppose. Quote

Anything could happen with those crazy ass hate speech laws and HRCs witch huntings...now that is clearly...S-T-U-P-I-D. Free speech means more in the USA...that's why Coulter has been invited to Canada. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

ironstone Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 I see Anne Coulter is scheduled to speak Tuesday night at Marion Hall along with Ezra Levant.She is supposed to be speaking about political correctness,media bias and freedom of speech on this leg of her Canadian tour. Surprise!The Student Federation of the University of Ottawa is trying to prevent her from speaking it seems.For starters,volunteers have been barred from putting up posters to advertise this event. Student president Seamus Wolfe claims Coulter "Has a history of hate speech and we wouldn't invite someone who spreads hate to our campus". Apparently polical correctness is thriving at Canadian universities,but free speech is dead.Business as usual for the left eh? Quote Beware the Brookfield industrial complex...

If it weren't for the fact the entire student council only has access to half a brain which they share out when it comes time to speak and defecate they'd encourage people to attend. Coulter is enough to turn almost anyone off conservatism.

Jack Weber Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 I don't think she thinks everyone else is stupid, just the far left. They think everyone else is stupid. You've indirectly hit on the problem with entrenched ideologues speaking for the masses. Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Jack Weber Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) I have no interest in anything Anne Coulter has to say.I think she is the poster child,and mouthpiece, for the loony right wing fringe... I also think she should be allowed to say whatever nutjob idea comes into her brain.As I said in another thread,it says alot more about those who pay to listen to this person(and believe her nonsense),than about Coulter herself.

Guest American Woman Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 Coulter is enough to turn almost anyone off conservatism. Couldn't agree more. Quote

Of course....I hope Ms. Coulter continues to shove that PC crap right down their throats. She makes the lefty loonies pee rocks. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Smallc Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 Well, for one, the belief that we're lucky that America allows us to exist. The belief that Canada should go along with everything the US does. The belief that anything the left ever says is wrong....and on and on and on. Quote

The only thing stupid about this is falling right into her hype machine, amping up Coulter even more. Smart lady.... Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 I haven't amped her up at all. OK...so your're commenting on Coulter just because it's another boring day in Winnipeg? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Smallc Posted March 21, 2010 Report Posted March 21, 2010 I don't live in Winnipeg right now. It's a boring day in Waterhen, Manitoba. Quote
CrazeeEddie Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 2010 you may want to attend, you may actually learn something. Such as? I know it's your usual intellectual response to hearing opinions you disagree with, but that sort of thing needs to stop. Feel free to show me exactly how you would respond to opinions you disagree with. Enlighten me with your wisdom. Perhaps this is what I should learn from Ann? This should be good.....

Well...She's smart enough to get her fans into a near masturbatory lather(not you,necessarily),but I don't think I'm helping her out.I have no intention of lining her pockets by paying to listen to her silliness...

charter.rights Posted March 22, 2010 Report Posted March 22, 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. Alternatively, I suspect that intelligent students will be able to show her for the buffoon she really is. Bring her on....

It's not just her fans....she gets media bandwidth in Canada just at the possibility of an appearance. Why are her non-fans so disturbed by this, or whatever an American ideologue thinks or says? Why do they give her so much attention? Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Alternatively, I suspect that intelligent students will be able to show her for the buffoon she really is. Bring her on.... Actually..If anyone looks up Anne Coulters many moments of classlessness on youtube,and there are many,it will become very easy to see that she can easily be defeated in a debate.Basically,if one catches her in one of her over the top statements and calls her on it,she starts to laugh...look around..say it's a joke...try to belittle the other person...and in one interview,actually get up and leave!

Why are her non-fans so disturbed by this, or whatever an American ideologue thinks or says? Why do they give her so much attention? Well,I can't speak for everyone but I'm not disturbed at all.In fact I welcome her appearance.I know that most Canadians don't have the extreme views she does.I don' think she'll hurt anyone.The problem is how one reacts to her.Most on the loony left will stomp their feet and say she should'nt be able to say those things...I strenuously disagree!!Let her talk and debate her intellectually...There's enough evidence that she crumbles when this happens.I suspect that it's because her shtick is based on visceral,two-dimensional,ideological nationalism....Her arguments are based on simple minded anger,frankly. Her presence does'nt bother me at all,although I think she has a few marbles rolling around upstairs.As I said,I would'nt pay to see her,but I am going to watch her interview on Michael Coren's show on Tuesday...
