Oh, Canada! Ann Coulter The Violent Response To Her (canceled) Ottawa Gig.

[color=#00BFFF]WND Story

[color=#00BFFF]Simliar ATS topic... BUT it was before her attempted appearance. Giving credit where due.

Since arriving in Canada, I've been accused of thought crimes, threatened with criminal prosecution for speeches I hadn't yet given and denounced on the floor of the Parliament.

...

Posters advertising my speech have been officially banned, while posters denouncing me are plastered all over the University of Ottawa campus. Elected officials have been prohibited from attending my speeches.

...

This marks the first time I've ever gotten hate mail for something I might do in the future.

Apparently, Canadian law forbids "promoting hatred against any identifiable group," which the provost, Francois A. Houle, advised me, "would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges."

I was given no specific examples of what words and phrases I couldn't use, but I take it I'm not supposed to say, "F--- you, Francois."

While it was a relief to know that it is still permissible in Canada to promote hatred against unidentifiable groups, upon reading Francois' letter, I suddenly realized that I had just been the victim of a hate crime! [color=gold]And it was committed by Francois A. Houle (French for Frank A. Hole).

...


I've given more than 100 college speeches, and not once has one of my speeches been shut down at any point. Even the pie-throwing incident at the University of Arizona didn't break up the event. I said "Get them!" the college Republicans got them, and then I continued with my rambling, hate-filled diatribe – I mean, my speech.

I'm not much of a Coulter fan, however, when it comes to blatant hypocrisy and ESPECIALLY on speech issues, I'm on her side. You know that she is abrasive going into any speech. Unlike some comedians that are absolutely dependent on cussing to make them funny.

You need to be careful with Ann; not because she'll go vulgar, she'll rip you a new one with that razor sharp tongue-sword.

She is probably the sharpest wit to duel any liberal into the dirt and they know it too.

Leave it to the especially thin skinned socialists at the .EDU to become more violent than EVERY Tea Party last year combined.

They show what they are really all about. Mean spirited racist oppressive hypocritical thugs.

I've talked to three completely seperate friends that claim when they became Republican/Independent/Conservative they realized, and specifically claimed, that they felt that they had Grown Up. Ironic since none of them were really similar except in that claim.

Something from the CBC on this - worth a read for the Canadians (also for the Americans, but they might be less familiar with Ezra...)

The Poop on Ann Coulter

Ezra Levant, clever bugger that he is, has just proved once again that you can count on Canada's university crowd to behave like suckers.

This time, his tool was Ann Coulter, the right-wing comedienne and thrower of stink bombs who used to be quite a sensation here in the United States.

Neil Macdonald is a pretty straight-up reporter, and I think he's called this one pretty well.

You do know that's a "rah-rah" piece written for you and not Canadians. There may be 3 people in Canada that cares about what she has to say and IF there are, that would probably be the Trailer Park Boys.
