Protest Cancels Coulter Speech in Ottawa


A protest by hundreds of students led organizers to cancel a Tuesday night speech by American conservative commentator Ann Coulter at the University of Ottawa.
The conservative author avoids a mess during speech at University of Arizona.

A spokesman for the organizers said Coulter was advised against appearing after about 2,000 "threatening" students crowded the entrance to Marion Hall, posing a security threat.

"It would be physically dangerous for Ann Coulter to proceed with this event," said conservative political activist Ezra Levant inside the hall. "This is an embarrassing day for the University of Ottawa and their student body . . . who chose to silence her through threats and intimidation."

A protest organizer, international studies student Mike Fancie, said he was pleased they were able to stop Coulter from speaking.

"What Ann Coulter is practicing is not free speech, it's hate speech," he said. "She's targeted the Jews, she's targeted the Muslims, she's targeted Canadians, homosexuals, women, almost everybody you could imagine."

I guess she can't be all bad.

What if she had targetted Canadian homosexual muslim women? Can you imagine the outcry? They'd probably douse her in maple syrup and bacon.

What the hell does Appy State have to do with this?

That's hardly surprising.. as there is nothing more 'intolerant' than those on the far left.

Did the tea party group move to Canada and become liberal and anti-conservative

Clearly that fool doesn't understand free speech. His school has failed him. I bet if the speaker was a Christopher Hitchens type that mocks all religious people he wouldn't be screaming "hate speech".

"God is Not Great"

Can't say I agree with his anal sex take. Then maybe he was taking and not giving.

So you say, do you actually have proof of that?

Every time I see a picture of Ann Coulter it reminds me that she is a dead ringer for a girl that I banged in my van before a Grateful Dead concert at San Jose State back in the early 80's. It's uncanny, I've seen a lot of people that look like somebody, but this chick was a dead ringer.

You poor motherfucker, hope it was from behind.

No, but I'm pretty sure it happens every day. I'll get back to you on that...

That's the hell of it, it was pretty good stuff. Thank god it was a Dead show or I'd be worried that I might have actually..........no I can't even say it.

Students protesting? Next thing you'll tell me is that they're mostly liberals on college campuses.

I'm not a fan of Coulter or any left or right wing nut job. People generally don't start developing conservative tendencies until they get out of school and see how much Pizza Hut is deducting from their paycheck each week. It's like an awakening.

The larger awakening is that pizza hut actually thinks they make Pizza.

I might like her if actually they did that, as long as it was real bacon and not that canadian ham stuff.
