"BREAKING NEWS: Large group of protesters greets Ann Coulter in The Villages"

This was the article title from the local on-line news site that cannot be named. Did anyone go? What was it like?

The previous Ann Coulter thread was shut down.

Had I been there I would have gone. I went to one at Fashion Island in Newport Beach a few years ago and found myself behind hundreds ahead of me in line to have their books signed. I have seen her speak at the Nixon Library. What a wonderful lady and accomplished scholar!

The signing or the protest?
1200 miles away, so I didn't go the either
Anyway, I hate lines, so I would have passed on the signing
As far as the protest goes, I'd rather watch a nail rust
I guess I would have been golfing anyway

I went and was first in line to have her book signed. She was very nice and signed my book "To Mike, Best Wishes to the guy who's first in line." She is tall about 6'. The protesters seemed to be more interested in having a good time among themselves than protesting what she tweeted a few weeks ago. Lots of Sheriffs Deputies and Community Watch were present.

:thumbup:

If I was down there I surely would have gone. Folks either love her or hate her, but I tend to enjoy her commentaries. Besides, she drives liberals CRAZY. Can that be all bad?

I had to laugh at that one. That statement probably made some heads explode too. Too funny. :clap2:

There seems to still be a heated(?) conversation going about it in the political forum. Lots of fun, but little on substance.

Here it is right side up!

Went to Barnes and Noble yesterday but after she was gone. I do read her books once in a while just to get a different perspective of what's going on in the world.

I just get them from a library though. :read:

I am one of those liberals she sometimes drives crazy. I wonder what she was like in law school if she had these kinds of opinions? Of course, some law schools are much more liberal than others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter I see she went to the University of Michigan which like the University of Minnesota would be quite liberal. Was a Law Review Editor so she did very well in law school would be my guess.

Hopefully, this link is appropriate to the thread. :read:

They got the County wrong though. Sumter and not Lake County. The Villages, Florida Zip Code Boundary Map (FL)

Nice to hear about a peaceful protest for a change. Wasn't there---long lines don't agree with me.

Tal, here's a photo from the Orlando newspaper article that you provided a link. It sure looks like more than 50, even the TV Sun paper said there was about 200 protestors.

I stand corrected. Ann Coulter protest - Orlando Sentinel

Thanks. I was watching The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials at the Old Mill Playhouse while all this was going on around 1:00 PM through 3:00 PM yesterday. I suspect both were entertaining more than enlightening.

The Villages Daily Sun has a few pictures and a short couple of paragraphs on the September 26, 2015 Ann Coulter book signing. It is on A9 of September 27, 2015's Sunday paper.

This shows more protesters.

She like a shock jock does say stuff that upsets many people. I usually put shock jocks into the category of entertainment rather than education as they often blur the facts more than anything else.

I do read her books though to see what she has to say about various subjects.
