Ann Coulter upsetting people....again

[Francis2004]

that's great, cancel her engagements, send her home, we
don't need that trash talk here, or that trash in our
country, she isn't funny at all, and she is just standing
up their to make everyone gasp, and make big bucks from
doing that, just makes fools out of us, and pays her to
do it.

Lets pay people to talk and say things that better our
lives and the world.

Her and Fox News are perfect for one another, both very
tacky.

Is she hired to be a stand up comic, I'm serious, is that
what she is being brought in to do, or are people actually
expecting to learn something from her, I'm sure there
many people in the wings who could talk to our young
people and say many intelligent and inspiring things,
who don't get a chance, but they will let her in the
door, disgusting.

talloola whether we agree with her or not, I think the negative publicity is much more welcomed by her agent and so on then any quiet evening could have brought..

The more the cages are rattled the more they seem to love the attention.. I hate it, but they thrive on it.. Free advertising at all our news medias expenses.. What fools we are as we keep feeding it. Well not me as I don't care. 8O

I think the negative publicity for her, by us, is to kick
her out of the country, for speaking against others ethnic
nationality and culture, we cannot stand up on a platform
and spout those things against others, and she shouldn't
either. Not negative publicity, but 'action' by our
law enforcement to 'stop' her. Let her own country give
her the negative publicity, and be stuck with her.
She is just thumbing her nose at us, and taking the money,
that's not right.
It just seems that money, again, is the bottom line, it's
all about profits, and who cares about 'what she says',
as long as she brings out the people, who bring out their
money, for whomever is putting on the show.

 

[Francis2004]

Agreed, but it's that ill-informed audience that concerns me, not Ms. Coulter herself, if it weren't her it'd be somebody else, like Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh. They appeal to probably the most ignorant, frightened, angry and stupid fraction of the population, maybe 10 or 15 percent. They're the people the lunatic fringe of the political extremes on both the left and right mobilize with the big lie. I don't know any other way to explain a phenomenon like people without health insurance protesting against a plan that would give them health insurance. It was the big lie: creeping socialism, death squads, murdering babies...

I am not so sure many of the fringe people are the ones we need to worry about..

We hear about how Fox News caters to only that fringe right, yet it keeps topping the ratings as far as popularity lately.. You will never change those folks..

Much like the National Inquirer rakes in many readers and has a much wider audience..

I think taking Fox News lightly is making a mistake.. That is why Obama finally took them on recently.. They have a much wider audience then just the right that people associate them with all the time..

I'll admit I didn't know too much about Ann Coulter, so I decided to read up on her online. I'm not surprised that there were even some right-leaning critiques saying she wasn't doing the right-wing cause a favour with her vitriol.

talloola maybe that's what she is looking for.. A reason to kick Canada again when she goes home.. What best to launch a political career then to have a new evil empire to bash like Canada, home of the terrorists..

Just a thought :idea:

I guess when your own side turns against you, you know it's bad.

I couldn't care less if she goes home and bashes us, I
have no respect for her opinion, don't really care what
she says in the u.s., but I do, here.
We need to be tough with people like her, male or female,
and not be the same as the u.s., and just let her go around
saying hurtful and unlawful things, and do nothing about it.
She would be alarmed if we shoved her around, and made her
behave herself, she thinks she can manipulate people at will, and leave them gasping and wondering about her, but
I would not wonder about her, I wound give her the hook,
and drive her to the airport.
Why doesn't she go to Iran and give one of her speeches,
they would deal with her in a way she would not forget.

 

[Machjo]

Seems even Fox News thinks she's crazy!

[Bar Sinister]

You really have to consider the source when discussing Anne Coulter. He words and writings reveal her to be vain, shallow, ignorant, and completely selfish. No one need pay her uniformed comments the least attention.

 

[Machjo]

I'm always willing to keep an open mind to even apparently crazy ideas. You never know, sometimes wisdom can come out of even the craziest ideas.

With Ann Coulter though, though I can forgive her outlandish ideas, it'shard to overlook her mean-spiritedness. It's not even the ideas themselves that are at issue, but her choice of words, how she chooses to express those ideas using the rudest, crudest, most offensive words possible. She just has no manners, no sense of courtesy or decency.

but that is the thing, people 'pay' to hear her rude
and thoughtless remarks, that is disturbing. She has
figured out how to make lots of money, 'off'
of people who are entertained by listening to someone
who has nothing to say.

 

[Machjo]

Honestly, a person could come up to me and tell me with the utmost sincerity that he believes that the world is flat and that it sits on the back of four elephants walking in circles, and if he's courteous, kind, polite, etc. though I may disagree with him, I'll still return his kindness and disagree using kind words. I'd choose my words carefully so as not to offend. Coulter simply does not earn that kind of courtesy.

 

[Socrates the Greek]

Coulter has said "all terrorists are Muslims and has suggested all Muslims be barred from airlines and use flying carpets".

People watch endless hours of mindless TV shows with nothing to say. At least Coulter knows how to get their blood boiling, even if they just want to string her up. She is definitely politically incorrect, but so is Bill Maher, but I like him. Ann is just a high paid verbal hooker.

 

[CDNBear]

She's ignorant, uninformed, as far as I can tell uneducated, and as self centered as one can get, but she has the right to safety, she has the right to speak, she is not guilty of breaking any Canadian laws.

So what happens?

Thousands protest old Annie, and get their way, they shut her down and silence the venue.

It's a great day for free speech in Canada.

The Provost at U of O, clearly has a bias, and I say this in all seriousness. Given the Universities acceptance of the Anti Israeli week, how can he say this to Annie?

After mentioning the Charter of Rights and Canada's free speech laws, vice-president academic and University of Ottawa provost François Houle invited Coulter to "educate yourself, if need be, as to what is acceptable in Canada."


He noted, by example, that "promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges."

​

That's funny, because for all intents and purposes, that exactly what the Anti Israeli week does, in entirety.

It has been said, time and time again, the progressives on either side of the spectrum, embrace free speech, when, and only when, it's for their views. But it seems to me, that it is only the left that does it with such moral bankruptcy.

What a pitiful day in Canadian History.

People pay to watch offensive movies every day.

She's an entertainer, more or less a comedian. I don't know how anyone who believes in 'our great country Canada', or in free speech, could do anything but support her right to talk. You don't have to go, you don't have to listen.


Sure, her 'take a camel' comment was idiotic, but it wasn't hate material. It was brainless blonde shock-jock radio personality material. She's looking for attention; don't give it to her.

 

[El Barto]

Throwing tomatoes has nothing to do with free speach right?

 

[TenPenny]

Not at all.

But if you hit someone, you might get charged with assault.

 

[El Barto]

Not at all.

But if you hit someone, you might get charged with assault.

Even if you cleaned the tomatoes before hand to make it pesticide free?
So basically freedom of expression is a no no then?

 

[CDNBear]

I would otherwise agree, but most sane people know a movie is fantasy, so that pretty much leaves the followers of FAUX news out in the cold, lol.

She's an entertainer, more or less a comedian. I don't know how anyone who believes in 'our great country Canada', or in free speech, could do anything but support her right to talk. You don't have to go, you don't have to listen.

Wise words.

Sure, her 'take a camel' comment was idiotic, but it wasn't hate material. It was brainless blonde shock-jock radio personality material. She's looking for attention; don't give it to her.

Again, I would otherwise agree. But we should at the very least 'pay attention' to her. As we should with anyone whose commentary is somewhat extreme. That way, we can counter it.

By ignoring it, we leave it up to people who may not be as aware or well heeled and that is where you find the erroneous message being touted, taken as truth.

Never ignore the extremists, never silence them.
