Ann Coulter protest - Orlando Sentinel

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.

Looks like more protesters than some here have claimed,
Thank you for phrasing your opinion politely, my previous point was simply there is no need to be rude to our neighbors---for all anyone knows they are being rude to their best friend (or worse yet, spouse)
And then an afterthought----do we have at least some responsibility for policing ourselves, or do just leave it 100% up to the moderator???

yes, she does

yeah, she does which is the point. she says outrageous things knowing it will keep her name in the news and she sells more books and makes more money.

I wish they didn't have that protest...just gave her more publicity.

I do think she's extremely smart but calculating.

Ourselves?---100%, it's part of taking personal responsibility
Others?---I don't know, that is why I threw the comment out there. But I feel it is appropriate to some degree. I think most of us pick up a piece of litter off our neighbor's lawn, a MMP, or a golf hole even though we didn't put it there. Just part of being part of a community.

Revealing the true nature of liberals is honest work.

Let

This does seem to capture her of late at least the books I have read as well as recent tweets and the like. I would not want to get in a verbal war with this woman.

golfing eagles: I side with you I find the "b" word as deplorable and offensive as the "n" word. and yet it is commonly, inappropriately and often thrown around in this otherwise PC generated society. Talk about being disrespectful.

How can anyone not like or at least appreciate Ann Coulter's gift for phraseology,her clarity her wit, her insight, her accurate analysis, her beauty.

I mean you may not like what she says but how can you not like the way she clearly states it. I find that refreshing in this day and age of trigger warnings and micro-aggression personalities....

She does have a way with words. And I frequently disagree with her conclusions. But, as a law librarian in inclination and training I like the way she tries to make politics and the like more accessible by writing these books. I wish she would do a thorough investigation though of what Donald Trump has in mind for the country in 2017? She should sharpen her wit and wisdom on both parties. I have never been a big fan of politics as usual.

Mike, tell me it wasn't meeting Ann Coulter that turned your hair white. :shocked:

How many were there when you went? I count between 80-100 in the pictures.

She probably gets a lot more protesters though in some of the other cities she goes to. The Villages still has a lot of Republicans compared to some other communities. It looks like she actually lives in Palm Beach but manages to anger people there too. Ann Coulter draws criticism for apparent anti-Catholic tweet | www.palmbeachpost.com

She lost me when she said women shouldn't be allowed to vote, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned, her remarks saying that Jews are religiously inferior, and so on.

...and Ann Coulter is happy to have your money as she laughs her way to the bank!

I was going to buy one but decided just to get the wobbly table replaced.

Everything we buy makes someone money. You gave your money to the seller of the table. I didn't need a table.

It's all good. The censorship advocates didn't hurt anyone and gave themselves a false sense of accomplishment.
