I agree wholeheartedly with Coulter that the hecklers are simply democrats who have no ability to have a debate. This kind of behavior is rude and uncalled for, even if you dont like someone. Were they protesting outside things would be different, but they disrupted a speech others wanted to listen too. As usual the minority terrorizes the majority.

STORRS -- Music that seemed to come from somewhere in the raucous audience that packed the Jorgensen Center at the University of Connecticut Wednesday night brought Ann Coulter's speech to an abrupt end about 15 minutes after she started.

After waiting with her bodyguard on stage for several minutes for the music to stop while a section of the audience chanted "You suck, you suck," an irritated Coulter said she would not finish her speech. She said she would go straight to questions and answers, suggesting the disruption was the best the liberals could do to counter her.

Liberalism is exceedingly tolerant of he views of others - so long as those views are liberal views.

Coulter isn't exactly tolerant of liberal views and neither are her fans and followers. This just sounds like a case of two peas in a pod, the zin-and-zen of zealots.

From the article:
One student asked what she would do if she had a child who came out as gay.

Coulter replied: "I'd say, `Did I ever tell you you're adopted?'" Gotta love her... fine woman she is...

Can you imagine if she and Michael Moore had a baby? What kind of kid would that be, I wonder?

A very rich one given Moore and Coulter prove that the more extremist idiocy you write, that there are more idiots willing to pay to read it. (I must admit, I read their idiocy for laughs myself *shruggs*)

Well then. You really MUST read michael Savages books then.

The best laughing you'll ever do.

Maybe.

No, but she doesnt throw pies at people or heckle them from an audience, afaik. Thats the difference here. Everyone should respect everyones freedom of speech.

[Adimos]

No, she heckles certain people from the stage. If you live by the tongue, you die by the tongue. The only difference in the methods of coulter and those who heckled her is that she had loudspeakers and they did not.
That said, I agree that the speech should have been left alone, but to make a living on partisan hatred is a good way to piss others off, so she should not act surprised, hell she thrives off this, like mold that lives on lysol.

She is paid to speak, whether its a speech or heckling. The people in the audience were there to listen, only they couldnt because others did not want her to speak. Again it comes back to a few people who do not the decision the majority make and so they screw everyone over.

It should be noted that they also paid Sheehan to come and speak and there was no disruption of her speech.

I wholeheartedly agree. She had a rant on her website one time (ill find the link if anyone cares) pretty much denouncing anyone from an Ivy League School. She must have forgotten that her wonder boy attended Yale. Arent they Ivy league?

[portoskins]

I feel it's rude for either side to heckle a speaker, whether it's Michael Moore, Ann Coulter or anyone else. If these people didn't want to hear Coulter, they weren't being held prisoner! I wouldn't want to see her or Moore, but if the circumstances led me to be in the audience when they were scheduled to speak, I'd either sit and listen or go outside when they were announced. Rudeness on either side is disgusting.

What a surprise that you feel that way, given that you are completely partisan.

I saw Ann Coulter "debate" once. She was "debating" a man who had walked with MLK in the Civil Rights movement. I don't remember what they were disagreeing about, but she called him a racist. He asked her to stop. Her "counterargument" was "you're a racist, racist, racist, racist, racist."

But by all means, jviehe, please keep pretending to be impartial. How could people call Bush and his supporters liars if we didn't have people like you?

Oh thats right, blacks can't be racists, only whites.

[jakitula]

I guess you are trying to prove that with your comment here. The guy she was calling a racist was white. Ooops! How clever you are.

she is an ivy leaugue grad too. Darmouth I think

[Krruqgwt]

please excuse me, she said "elite" not ivy league. My mistake, I do apologize. In all honesty I can only plead stoned (there is no other reason for me to be at her website)

originally quoted by Ann Coulter
I know conservatives have been trained to hate people who went to elite universities, and generally that's a good rule of thumb. But not when it comes to the Supreme Court.
http://www.anncoulter.org/cgi-local/...cgi?article=79
lol, so is there a difference between Ivy League and Elite that I am not aware of?

I must post another part of the article - its just too good.

First, Bush has no right to say "Trust me." He was elected to represent the American people, not to be dictator for eight years. Among the coalitions that elected Bush are people who have been laboring in the trenches for a quarter-century to change the legal order in America. While Bush was still boozing it up in the early '80s, Ed Meese, Antonin Scalia, Robert Bork and all the founders of the Federalist Society began creating a farm team of massive legal talent on the right. Had I not been an infant, I have a feeling me and bushie would have gotten along great!

[PilotJargon]

I don't approve of their methods, even if Coulter is an evil bitch-lady.

University campuses are the most notorious places for such activity (on both right and left). Indeed, I had the pleasure of seeing some brave souls heckle both Prime Minister Chretien and Prime Minister Mulroney at various university lecture halls. Both Prime Ministers stopped their speeches and walked out due to the level of razzing they were receiving - and to the cheers of the audience. First time in my life that I actually felt like I lived in a democractic country.

Democracy doesn't provide any kind of 'right' for the partisan media or political elites to lecture their messages directly and without interpretation or interruption. It is a democratic right of the people to treat such politicians with contempt.

No, but the campus should have. Even despite that I think the hecklers were rude, the student govt spent $16,000 for Coulter to come speak, and that money essentialy went to waste, based on the actions of a few. I wonder why the campus security didnt remove the hecklers.

Yes - that sounds right. If the unviersity paid money, then the onus is on them to remove any disruptive people (and to make this policy known in advance). It is simply an economic matter of protecting one's investment, as opposed to any sort of legal or political matter, IMO.
