P.S. - She DID actually say that, and yes, (OH NO SHE DIDN'T) and radical students didn't shut her down - the Vice President threatened a lawsuit.

i don't really like the lady, but you have to see the hipocrasy of what those kids did.  i could make a fair generalization that most of those kids would be protesting anything that opposes their views because they feel its freedom of speech, but at the same time; ann coulter is disagreeable to them so they protest to deny her the freedom of speech.

in the end, they are just words and i think people should stop being so hyper sensitive.  opposing points of view from both sides of the political spectrum is necessary for one to think critically about an argument and come to a conclusion on their own.  stopping here from speaking only strengthened her appeal, as was shown at the calgary campus.  al beit, alberta is conservative, campuses still serve as an echelon for liberalism within that province.

Those kids are exactly like the retarded leftist activist students on my campus who put on a big spout about the Pacifica Forum.

No one can deny those people are idiots, especially the university vice-president. If you don't agree with Ann Coulter no one is forcing anyone to go watch her. Their stupidity only give Ann Coulter more of what she wants, publicity.

^^^ You guys didn't get to the interview, did you? What she said was TERRIBLE. Who cares if the kids were protesting. Listen to what she SAID.

In a perfect world, this argument would make sense, but the world just won't do what is best and ignore her. And while nobody is making them go see her, I think they are fully in the right to protest a hateful bitch coming on their campus. Plus, they clearly achieved their goal in letting her know that she was not welcome there, I say good for them. Anne is starting to loose her power to stir shit, because while she used to get bashed from every direction, pissing people off as much as possible and boosting the sales of her books, pretty much the only people that feed into her drama these days are on Fox.

Fun little fact, if you scramble the letters in her name, you can spell "A Loner Cunt", and she is one of the only women I would ever use that word for, but she earned it.

By the way, I do not put much value in the karma system, but you were at 9999, and I hooked you up with another digit. Hope it was as good for you as it was for me

i watched it.  her comments are abrasive, but i feel she still should be able to speak.  if people could take the highroad over her comments then she would lose her appeal quite fast, but instead people have to sling the mud right back at her.

Which part are you referring too? Her saying all Muslims should be on a no fly list or her telling a Muslim student to take a camel for transport?

1. she did imply that, although she didn't straight up say it, you'd have to be a complete idiot to think otherwise. i mean i don't know anyone who has never been selected for a search so her comment was blatantly an attack on people of muslim faith.

2. she did say that. although it seemed to be really sarcastic humor which was hilarious, and i mean that because the students are such fucking pussies that it was funny to see how insulted they would be. but it is something that no one should say if they want to be taken seriously.

and point 2. leads up to the fact that she is an entertainer and nothing more. to spend time on her, whatever your intentions may be, makes you a fucking idiot- bottom line.

Yeah if Bill O Reilly thinks someone is too racist, something is wrong with you. We didn't wanna let 50 cent into the country, but we let this fucking lunatic in? Thanks ottawa for kicking ass and standing up to this inbred kkk filth.

But she's actually is and is out to be influential in the political spectrum, which takes her from entertainer to politico, no matter what she purports to be. Just like Glenn Beck.

no she doesn't. she affects a small portion of people who only have an effect on a small portion of the popular vote, which has little meaning in its own right. ann coulter is just a speck of corn on the giant log of shit that is politics.

Well, to say all Muslims should be on a no fly list is pretty stupid. Obviously the mass majority of Muslims are good people and do not associate with terrorist groups. And doing so would only have the potential to fuel the fire in favor of Muslim extremists who want to attack the U.S. by providing them more propaganda to help recruit new members. Also, this would motivate Al Qaeda and other radical groups to hire Westerners to carry out their attacks, e.g. "Jihad Jane". So if she meant all Muslims on a no fly list all the time, I fully disagree with her.

However, I think what she may have been implying in her comments regarding the "no fly list" comment, is that in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 there should be a strict emphasis on searching/background checking all male Muslim passengers under 40, considering who the attackers were and the lack of resources/man power that the TSA had before their funding and security protocols were beefed up. And while I really don't know what she was trying to say, if this was it I think it was a valid point.

As for my take on the camel comment, please refer to skiierman's post.

No matter how much influence she has on voters, the bottom line is that she is not an elected official and is not involved in any decision making in Washington. Whether people agree with her or not, they shouldn't be paying her so much attention and fretting over what she is saying. We have people in the government that steal from taxpayers, lie to get elected, and lie once they are in office. And in both parties mind you. Those are the people we should be worried about.

You're kidding me right? She's headlining Tea Parties, has had a #1 best selling book (20 million copies sold), and she's on Fox every week.

she's a participant in it and because she's a famous t.v. personality, doesn't mean she's actually doing anything. shes on fox because she has a program on it. that's like saying john stewart is a major political player because he has a program on comedy central. in case you haven't noticed, just because it says fox news, doesn't mean its always about reporting events in a news fashion (aka unbiased). finally saying she has the #1 selling book is in now way a relevant term. "#1" is purely subjective in its meaning. it could mean #1 among conservatives, or #1 for the first week it was out. to think ann coulter has a real affect on people is just plain retarded. she doesn't. just another clown in the political circus.

You have to at least consider her side of the story.

You can hear the girl asking the question say something about a "magic carpet" obviously as a joke about middle-eastern stereotypes, and Coulter could have simply been responding to that joke with her comment about the camel.


Although i do agree that her saying that "all muslims should be 'looked at' for a no fly list" is ridiculous.

I don't have time to get into it, but the gist of it is that I was in London riding the underground in 2005 during the bombings, and a week later for the failed ones.

Whilst i do agree that extremist muslims are fucking cunts, you must admit that its ridiculous to "keep an eye on" everyone who is a muslim. Racial profiling =/= a good idea.

One must also realize that the Qu'ran specifically states you should kill all non-believers. The EEENNTIIIRE 9th surah says it's OK to kill anyone who isn't an Allah-fearing muslim. If they believe in being a muslim..then they must also believe in the 9th surah.

The Bible (specifically Leviticus) says we should kill pretty much anyone ever and sell their daughters into slavery. Not everyone who celebrates Easter believes in that.

When did it become impossible to not believe a portion of a holy book? Jews seem pretty adamant about God and Friends Part II, why can't muslims refute the 9th?

The Qu'ran expressly states that if you do not believe in the entire Qu'ran..you are a non-believer, and should be put to death with the rest of them. Christians are stupid, don't bring them up as an example.

Point is, any holy book is going to have some borderline-homicidal stuff in it. One can easily ignore this stuff. Just because you don't agree with the more extreme passages doesn't mean that the greater girth of a reasonably sound set of principles should be discarded.

OR!

You could not believe in any holy book and live your life based on a set of personal ethics, THAT way you don't have to worry about going to a specific place after you die!

In that same interview Coulter actually made a comment, when she was talking about putting Muslims on a no-fly list / extra security for them, that instead of flying they should take their magic carpets. It might have been a joke but it can definitely be seen as an insult as well.

The joke or insult argument has no merit here. Look at what Kramer did, he said he was joking, but in the end he got burned at the stake because this country has white guilt as a result of slavery. Americans don't care enough about Islam and how it is insulted because they don't really understand it.

Replace all the shit she says about Arabs and flying carpets with "fried chicken" and "nigger" and see what happens.

Haha. She wont come to Berkeley, because there's already a group waiting for her that will just laugh at her face...

About 4 months ago when i was rollin around campus, some really radically conservative guy (Anne Coulter had nothing on this fool...) was soapboxing it up in, and the "laughing lurkers" as i guess the group is known as, came around and literally just gathered, pointed, and laughed at everything he said until he walked away. They then clapped and applauded him... literally treating it as if he was doing standup... It. Was. Awesome.

I wish there were more of them though... too many bezerklians would just show up and pull a U of O with her probs...
