great story 8) Watching it happen on the news was great, unlike her hardcore, redneck imachickthatcankickyourass image, she started wining and running with fright like the little bitch she is

Why would anyone bring her in to a school? And to add to that, why would anyone bother listening to her?

Fat, are you talking about a college or a high school? College is understandable, more freedom of opinion there. But I can hardly see the educational value in bringing someone like Ann Coulter to a high school.

I think if I were you I would be baking several pies and practicing aim. Key lime pies are a good choice.

Not quite sure who she is, but it is a shame when an invited speaker is accosted for whatever reason--cept maybe for outright racist speakers.

From the article, I see that she is conservative and praised conservative students while bashing kerry. Well... what is the big deal then? Do not liberal speakers bash Bush and conservatives? YES on both counts. That is called politics kids and if you can't sit back and deal with it or just change the station (for the TV viewers), then you have no place in that business.

Partisan politics is utterly devoid of any real thought--it is all based upon perceived righteousness on either side. A pie in the face for speaking freely? Yeah, nice work college fuckwads. WTG.

Now, if someone is perhaps speaking in a non-primary partisan format, let's say, uhhh, a KKK member or other radical...yeah, hit em with what ya got--they have no productive base in society--only breeding hate against the people (American people as an example, as this is the focus atm.)

Now, I am not talking about foreign or domestic issues, and certainly not about who I think should win the upcoming election. This is all about some assclowns accosting an invited guest on stage at whatever-U.

I will make a point to look the name of this person up this week to determine how much of an asshole she is, but my point had nothing to do with assholishness, it has EVERYTHING to do with not spitting in the face of people speaking their minds. Do you cheer for the people that spike trees also?

Speaking as a social liberal/fiscal conservative who is voting for Anyone But Bush, I laugh at this. I would also laugh just as hard at someone hitting Michael Moore in the face with a pie if he was stupid enough to blast extremist rhetoric in a place of higher learning. I am of the opinion that there is no place for these kind of people corrupting young people's minds in public educational institutions.
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

If she is of the Michael Moore slant, I will have to give up a (limited)chuckle as well. However, it is NOT cool to shit on the right for INVITED guest speakers to speak their mind(s). Would you throw something at a speaker who you did not politically agree with?

Hell, I have seen a gazillion partisan speakers--about 1/10th of which I actually somewhat agreed with, but have NEVER accosted them in any way, not that I haven't secretly wished for it... but it is completely against what we are all about as Americans to do harm to those exercising their rights.

Once again, I have no clue who this Coultier chick is, I am just jabbing from a base point, but I (think) my point is pretty clear on the matter.

Well, she is actually MORE extreme then michael moore.

At some points she has suggested a death penanlty to liberals, since there all guilty of treason, and killing a few of them off would "phisically intimidate" them

College. I attend Miami University (located in Southern Ohio). The college Republicans are bringing her to "rally the vote" and the college Democrats are going to protest her.

The college Republicans here are quite the little machine. They are extremely well organized, financed, and out in great numbers. The college Democrats can barely keep pace.

Personally I think it's halarious. Both she and Moore were recently at the University of Central Arkansas to speak. From my friend who went to both, she was much more intense and down right meaner than Moore... and most of the people who told me that were conservatives. If I had been there I might have hit her with a pie as well :)

She's a fucking nutjob but for some reason conservatives and republicans just love her....
Ann Coulter wrote:Liberals hate America, they hate ‘flag-wavers,’ they hate abortion opponents, they hate all religions except Islam. Even Islamic terrorists don’t hate America like liberals do.

She's not even in the same league as michael moore.
At least Moore tries to disguise (and sell) his opinion as comedy.


It would be pretty foolish to pie Michael Moore... He would just inhale the incoming pie, sucking it right out of mid-air.

Although Xzion totally twisted what she said, her comment was not sarcastic. She was being dead serious when she said :
When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed too. Otherwise they will turn out to be outright traitors

jesus dude, read Miirs post just two post above yours for some of her quotes. I hope shes not serious, but such statements regardless of intention are fucking fanatical....the irony is if she was a liberal equivalent she would probrably be behind a jail cell right now via patriot act

and miir, i didnt remember the exact quote but i dont see how i twisted it


Execute in her usage=death penalty

Execute liberal=death penalty to liberal
physically intimidate liberals=i remembered that part

Shes an attention whore, plain and simple. Classic example of someone using their T&A and bleeting out extreme statements to garner attention. If she wasn't an attractive woman (subjective, to those trailor trash who treat her little rants like some kind of modern gospel) she would be just another ingorant loud mouthed white trash shitstain. She is all bark and no bite, anyhow. Cap on Moore all you want, but at least he presents a coherent view backed by research, not a bunch of bitching and chest thumping partisan nonsense.
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .

You feel pretty confident about that statement do you? I'm not saying she's any better, but if Moore does any research he certainly doesn't let the truth get in the way of his point.

Watch the hype-911. Then tell me if you still feel that way. After you see how he doctored and falsified a newspaper article, without their permission, so it read the way he wanted it to read, then tell me if you still think that. Two sides Jice....two sides.

Moore spins the facts. This is not disputable. There is a difference between representing factual information in a partisan way (see F911, the Factor, ect) and just plain making shit up to rant against your enemies. Its the difference between how, for a local conservative example, Metanis structures his arguments vs how Cartalas does the same. That is to say, Metanis provides his opinion and cites facts and reasons as to why he has such an opinion. Cartalas just jibber jabbers partisan catch phrases and ignorant bullshit in the same situation. While I feel they are both equally full of shit, I am willing to examine Metanis's statements and occasionally even concede on some of his more supported points as his posts are at the very least thought provoking. Ergo, Cartalas is a complete waste of mine (and everyone elses) time to listen to, much less reason with.

F911, no matter what your opinion of it, used factual sources and material to demonstrate Moore's point of view and anyone who watched it was compelled to discuss the subject matter. Much as I hate to admit it, lately the Factor has been pretty much the same way. Coulter is just spewing "kill teh liberalz!" nonsense with no real basis in reality, purely catering to the trailer park element of the GOP voter base.

Why should we bother?

The biggest critics of F9/11 were people that never even saw the movie. People that have no idea what it was really about.

If the biggest 'lie' that 'hype 9/11' guy could find was a doctored newspaper article, then you'd have to conclude that the rest of the movie was just typical Michael Moore spin.

A scene early in the movie shows newspaper headlines related to the contested 2000 presidential election. It includes a shot of The Pantagraph's Dec. 19, 2001, front page, with the prominent headline, "Latest Florida recount shows Gore won election."

The newspaper says that headline never appeared on that day. The paper said the headline appeared in a Dec. 5, 2001, edition but was not used on the front page. Instead, it was found in much smaller type above a letter to the editor, which the paper says reflects "only the opinions of the letter writer


The Pantagraph newspaper in Bloomington said Friday it sent a letter to Moore and the film's distributor, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., asking for an apology for using what it said was a doctored front page in his movie.

The paper is seeking $1 in damages

Here is the 'headline' in question:

Nowhere is it indicated that this is a 'front page' story.
A headline in the 'letters' section contained this headline (albiet on a different date than indicated in the film... which is practically illegible).
This image was on the screen for roughly 3 seconds.

After looking into it a bit, yeah, she is a whackjob. Perhaps we can get Big Hands and Moore into a cagematch and have knife-pies dropped in from above.

Other than the 'date', how is it a lie?

I've seen some sources stating the date was the 10th, while others stated it was the 19th. Are those sources lying as well?
