Ann Coulter, who’s part of our own team of columnists here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca, was heckled as usual yesterday, as she
spoke
tried to speak at Kansas University as a guest speaker.
Liberals hate it when conservatives get to speak. They’re against free speech from conservatives. They only believe liberals should be free to speak. And liberals believe that no conservative thought can go un-retorted. They must have the last word. They hate it when conservative thoughts are allowed to leak into society unchecked. That’s why they hate this web site so much.
Conservative columnist and author Ann Coulter was greeted with a mixture of standing ovations and heckling after she took center stage Tuesday night at Kansas University’s Lied Center.
As soon as she stepped up to the microphone, Coulter fired off one zinger after another about liberalism while promising to answer questions from left-wing members in the audience who could “thrash their way to a coherent thought.”
“I’ve come to find I like liberals a lot more,” Coulter said early in her speech. “They’re kind of cute when they’re cold, shivering and afraid.”
Coulter received several standing ovations during her speech, but she also found herself interrupted several times by a small, scattered group of hecklers.
“I think there are some people in the audience who meant to be at the sexual reorientation class down the hall,” Coulter said, in response to the heckling.
Moments later Coulter stopped and called for assistance from students when hecklers started in again and no one of authority was seen trying to stop them.
“Could 10 of the largest College Republicans start walking up and down the aisles and start removing anyone shouting?” Coulter asked. “Otherwise, this lecture is over.”
Several people responded, leaving their seats to confront the hecklers, and verbal confrontations erupted in parts of the auditorium. One of those who answered Coulter’s call was Michael Conner, a Shawnee freshman.
“All I did was say they shouldn’t stop her from speaking,” Conner said of confronting some audience members in the back of the auditorium.
