She was ambushed - and there is no excuse for telling a woman, ever, that she should kill herself (just among many other offensive comments).

There is a simple solution....just frigging well ban comedy......
No one is allowed to laugh at anyone because someone might get offended, and if they get offended we may have seriously think about changing the way thing are done, so as that we do not offend anyone anywhere ever.... aaaaahhhhhhhh!

Bad example.
This is a roast, you will get your balls broken, including if they are Jewish.

The audience members do not get roasted.
And I have no issue with the content from any of these roasts. If you think the 70's roasts were over the top you obviously have not heard any of the new Friar's roasts.

His jokes pissed off some people not in attendance but she laughed. Sorta like this whole Anne Coulter thing.

Whoopi didn't seem to mind, but she was protecting her friend.
Black model Beverly Johnson also defended Danson's performance:
"If you can't see the humor at a place where there's supposed to be over-the-line jokes, then there's something really wrong."

At an event that was billed as a roast of Rob Lowe...it seems that Ann Coulter became the target of many a pointed barb, from the star-studded celebrity presenters - and many of them were downright tasteless.
Here are a few examples:
“Ann is one of the most repugnant, hateful, hatchet-face b----es alive,” British comedian Jimmy Carr declared, as audience members cheered. “It’s not too late to change, Ann. You could kill yourself!”
it was Coulter, 54, who spent much of the evening in the hot seat — at one point being labeled a “two faced b----h” and a “transvestite whore.”
Super Bowl hero Peyton Manning got in a few jabs, announcing, “As you all know, earlier this year, Ann Coulter won the Kentucky Derby!”
Ralph Macchio: “I respect you. You are the one female commentator who is not afraid to stand up ... to take a leak.”
Nikki Glaser: “Ann, you are awful. The only person you will ever make happy is the Mexican who digs your grave.”
Coulter Skewered by Celebs
I mean, seriously?
I can only imagine the hue and cry if a bunch of Trump supporters stood up at a public event (it will be aired on Comedy Central), and made horrifyingly sexist and violent remarks about a female Clinton supporter/commentator.
Will Hillary step up and disavow these outrageous attacks against a female - while Coulter was in the room no less? Will the MSM run non-stop panel discussions, tearing apart the people that uttered these remarks (nothing remotely comedic about this, sorry)...and projecting this hate speech onto Hillary Clinton and her campaign - as they most assuredly would do if this had come from the other side of the political spectrum.
I think we all know the answer to those questions. Nope.
