re: #536 Obdicut

Yes, I agree. She has the right to speak. But they didn’t shut her down. She backed down. Seriously, if she had addressed the audience and said, “Look, I know a lot of you don’t like me, but your school is paying me ten grand to talk right now, so let me say my piece, then we can shout at each other later.” I’m guessing they would have quieted down and let her speak. They still would have booed at times, and she probably would have had a rough 40 minutes, but she could have given her speech all the same.

Coulter loves that this happened. It gets her attention and sells books. She’ll get to go talk to Bill O’Reilly again, and lord, it will have been so awful…those crazy angry liberals—she probably thought they would kill her!

I’ve been an activist. I know how we can be in a crowd. I also know that people who are vehemently opposed to hate speech aren’t exactly violent people. Annoying at times, yes, but we’re not exactly violent.
