| Coulter Lampoons Loudmouth UCONN Lefties in Shortened Speech |
| 2005-12-09 |
| More than 2,000 people streamed through the doors of the Jorgensen Center of Performing Arts Wednesday, all to see, hear, support or criticize the conservative speaker Ann Coulter. Campus police were in attendance to maintain order as College Republicans rounded up their brothers and sisters from chapters across Connecticut and some out-of-state, to lend a hand at the event. Supporters came to hear Coulter, others waited out in the freezing cold weather with their poster boards wisped by the wind, all to protest against Coulter. And the wait was over. Coulter, who came in late due to a delayed flight, strode in from Miami, with a smile, and spoke amongst the mixtures of cheers and boos. Coulter poked fun at liberals and defended President George W. Bush, but her speech was interrupted by boos after she made several comments about gays, only to stir up snickering and boos up on the balcony. "I think we have a long way to go with censorship when we have 'Will and Grace' on TV," Coulter said as she laughed. "I think someone finally got the joke in the liberal section." The event, which was sponsored by Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, lasted less than 30 minutes before her speech was cut short as groups of students seated in the balconies began protesting Coulter shouting, "You suck." One student shouted, "I want my money back." "That was an affecting response by the liberals," she said in response. "And it took them two months to come up with that." A South Park song, "Kyle's mom is a big fat bitch," broke out, and some students jeered. Coulter continued to laugh and said that liberals were "big, fat, taunting babies." "It didn't matter what the song was," Coulter said after the lecture. "I'm giving a speech, they blast something and I can't speak. What does that say of how powerful what it is I have to say. They are so afraid that if someone hears me, they will change their mind. I guess they shouldn't be now that I think about it." The speech went straight into a question and answer session between Coulter and students. Coulter defended Bush in that U.S. is winning the war in Iraq, and said American troops would be out of Iraq, "sooner than Bosnia." One student asked what would Coulter do if she had a gay son. "Did I tell you, you were adopted, " Coulter answered. Another student who said she was a lesbian, called Coulter hot. She later admitted the comment she made about homosexuals was a joke and had made the comments to stir up the people who were already upset. In response to comments made after 9/11 about converting Muslims in Iraq into Christianity, Coulter stood by her comment. "This is what America has done to create freedom," she said. "America was founded on Christian principals, and the idea people could live in freedom." ...more... Lol. She always gives better than she gets... but then we're only talking about moonbat college kids. House pets, pet rocks, and potted plants are more challenging intellectual opponents, methinks. |

| #19 The UCONN men's program has nowhere near the historical dominance of the women's program. And the men's program would not be as strong as it is if municipal, state and school laws were actually applied to and enforced upon the players. Yes, I did go to Duke, why do you ask? |

| #18 Annie's always UP because she KNOWS that she's always RIGHT. Too skinny? Naw..."Just tall, that's all". A lithe, erotic, happily righteous patrician Connecticut Yankee (with well-turned calves in my book, anyway). "The closer the bone, the sweeter the meat". |

| #15 Obviously, the Commie Clintons and Dems STILL haven't informed their base that all DemoLefties are Repubs and Conservatives and Fascists, etc Rightists now [RINO's/CINOs] ERGO THE STUDENTS ARE ANGRY ONLY AT THE GOP AND RIGHT-WING FOR THEIR SIDE'S LEADERSHIP LACK OF COMMUNICATION. ITS DUBYAS FAULT FOR FOLLOWING HIS WELL-STATED AGENDAS BUT THE DEMOLEFTIES OR THE DEMS FAULT FOR OVERWHELMINGLY SUPP DUBYA'S AGENDAS WHILE SIMUL CRITICIZING HIM FOR THE SAME - Lefty Secular Moralism and genteel Equalism once again proves it is about Honesty and Truth and Fairness, NOT Politics, Policraticism, andor PC!? THE DEMOLEFTIES LOVE AMERICA, FREEDOM AND CAPITALISM ERGO ITS THE RIGHT'S FAULT THE DEMOLEFTIES CAN'T CAN'T, C-A-N-N-'-T-T-T, D**** YOU, SAY IT IN PUBLIC - in a Constitutional and Representative Democracy, the Amer Voters have to UNILATERALLYAND UNCONDITIONALLY ASSUME/PRESUME the DemoLefties are universal, undeniable "Patriots" no matter their rhetoric to contrary and no matter their refusal to remind us, the Voters, of said Patriotism, as honest injun as America was founded on the "sure thing", a "pre-guaranty" of anything and everything in life, not strugggle for life and existence and one owns prosperity by one's own hands and efforts. THE DEMOLEFT > HARD WORK, LIKE TRUTH, HONESTY, AND GOD, ETC. IS FOR SUCKERS AND SCHMOES!? |

| #11 UCONN is essentially a girl's basketball school, so it's easy to understand how its slack-jawed student body got confused between a game of roundball and public debate and started chanting "You suck." This is the expected level of academic discourse for this intitution. |

| #10 Everytime these tards pull of their shouting stunts Coulters book sales and speaking fees jump. They may want to have a chat with their marketing-majors about "free pub.". |

| #6 RD - She's a little skinny, methinks, but I overlook it cuz it's fun - like watching a cat playing with its next meal to pass the time - to watch and listen to her bat them about... they're a little bloodier after each swipe, and just a little more tender, heh. AG sounds damned good, lol. ;-) |

| #5 I almost put a reference to fascist lefties in the title, but after consulting several dictionaries and wanting to be precise, I left it out. They act like little Eichmanns, but they're merely powerless brats throwing yet another tantrum. Ann has a style that simply drives them mad. That's a short trip since they're already clinically insane on BDS, lol. :-) |

| #4 Others differed in opinion, like Jorge Cruz, a 5th-semester psychology major. "I can't believe we paid to support racism," Cruz said. "She produces hate-crime." I would guess this dweeb was one of those who does not believe in free speech, except for people he agrees with. |
