Is it just me, or does anyone else see the irony in this?
Conservative columnist Ann Coulter cut short a speech at the University of Connecticut amid boos and jeers, and decided to hold a question-and-answer session instead.
Coulter's appearance prompted protests from several student groups. About 100 people rallied outside the auditorium where she spoke, saying she spread a message of intolerance.
"We encourage diverse opinion at UConn, but this is blatant hate speech," said Eric Knudsen, a 19-year-old sophomore journalism and social welfare major who heads campus group Students Against Hate.
That's kind of like the pot calling the kettle black, isn't it? Apparently, the only thing Liberals are intolerant of is tolerance of Conservatives.
Look, I allow that Ann Coulter can be acidic and sarcastic at times, but she is funny and more importantly, she is right. As in correct. Liberals don't like her because they can't out argue her, which was demonstrated at the University of Conneticut the other night. Instead, they resort to attempting to shout her down.
If you ask me, I would say she scored a huge victory against the left wing Liberals by their very reluctance to listen to what she had to say. Nothing proves my oft repeated point that Liberals are mean spirited and closed minded better than this.
This is not to say that all Liberals are not intelligent and cannot form a legitimate argument. It only says that Ann Coulter's protestors on this night couldn't.
Most extreme left wing Liberals are this way. They don't have ideas. They don't have solutions. They don't have a plan. They don't have answers. To any problem. All they know how to do is launch personal attacks and indulge in name calling and accuse Conservatives of lying.
When was the last time a Liberal speaker had a pie thrown in their face? I don't know of any time when a Liberal speaker was booed off the stage but it is fairly common for Liberals to do that to Conservative speakers. Is it because they are afraid of hearing the truth?
I think so.

Hey, you're right! I stand corrected. Thanks.
Also, She was booed and hooted at recently...by Liberals who thought she had moved too far to the right!
Until they can gain power and set up the gulags, liberals will just have to be content with behaving like spoiled brats.
She (Billary) was booed at a speech on Monday.
I think she might try for the Republican Presidential nomination in '08.
She WOULD, too, if that was the only way she thought she could win...And she would blame Rush Limbaugh if it didn't work.
Liberals are a contradiction. They are the ones who preach tolerance of all things, yet they are the most blatantly intolerant jackals in the world if you do not share their opinions. More so if you are a conservative.
Liberals, untreated, can easily become tin horn dictators who would quickly use oppressive actions against the common man under the banner of reform or "for the good of the public", because don't you see, they KNOW what's best for you & they are going to have it their way whether you agree or not, because they KNOW better than you whats best for you. The arrogance!
Liberals have been intolerant of any opposing views since the 60's, when they shouted down conservative speakers on campuses. So nothing new in that.
It is the Liberals, the so-called lovers & defenders are free speech, who will quickly deny, squash or otherwise prevent an opposing view from being heard. They are hypocrites & phonies. They are the true fascists, the true intolerants. - God help us if they had real power.
Sheila,
You are confusing the other beautiful blond Crowley, Coulter has not been accused of plagiarism. The Sunni moonbat insurgency has now begun to go after liberal Democrats, as witnessed recently with Hillary. Yes, this rude behavior by the moonbats is only a few degrees away from Iraq's violence.
"...so called Liblerals."
No, I think Anne's targets are "actually" liberals, as evidenced by their nasty behavior.
"I don't respect her or Oreilly or Sean Hanity or Limbach for all of the unsportsman like hateful conduct that they all Authored."
Do you mean like Al Franken, Al Gore, and the liberal like?
I agree with Francis Lynn completely! And the only time I can think of that a Liberal got shut down by an audience was an audience of her constituents! Not by conservatives! I really think the reason some extremist liberals act like that is because they simply have no class.
Generally speaking when a liberal gets attacked by the far right, its usually not a pie in the face, but a knife in the back.
The Far Right can be vendictive, passive agressive, and down right mean to anyone who doesn't support their views. I prefer an honest fight where people get challeged face to face as opposed to the conservative cloak and dagger system.
Remember, I don't have to listen to a God damned thing you have to say and if I speak up about how wrong you are at least I'm not part of the problem. You want to speak publicly? Be prepared to defend yourself in debate.
We live in a system of checks and balances, like speakers and audiences.
Personally, I'm sick of her propogandast rhetoric.
First I want to apologise for not getting back to comment on the comments until now. I am working longer hours for a while. The boss is on Vacation.
Bruiser, it's nice to see you can contribute without being offensive. I don't mind opposing viewpoints but I don't appreciate uncalled for rudeness. I like this Bruiser much better! thank you.
Sheila, this post is about Liberal intolerance of Conservatives and their viewpoints, not about Ann Coulter per se.
I have seen this over and over again and I say again Conservatives don't come close to being as intolerant of Liberals as Liberals do if Conservatives.
I was a Liberal back in my younger days and I still remember how hatreful and condescending we behaved towards anyone who disagreed with us Liberals.
Sheila - huh?? I'm talking about liberals who try to deny someone the right to speak. What is this "put upon" & media buy-up & diversity stuff you're throwing in? Off-topic, disingenuous to my comment, my friend - like 2 ships passing in the night. Sounds like typical liberal side-stepping to an issue they won't address.
Gee - now I have to do a comment on conservatives being put upon, just so your comment will have some relevancy.
"unsportsman like hateful conduct that they all Authored"
Sheila: Turn off Air America (have they paid back the money they stole from kids and Alzheimers patients yet) and listen to Hannity, Rush and Coulter before you make such transparently sill statements as the one above.
I think the instance that Frenziedfeline is referring to was the Concert for New York City. It was held at Madison Square Garden shortly after 9/11. Lots of firefighters and cops attended.
When Hillary came on stage, she didn't receive a very warm greeting. She was booed and heckled.
I do think there's a difference between disrupting a speech and booing an elected official coming out being sets at a concert. The setting is totally different.
That said, libs do seem to be more prone to boorish behavior than conservatives.
Maybe it has something to do with the libs' tendency to respond emotionally rather than rationally, relying on feelings rather than facts.
In any event, when someone is scheduled to deliver a speech, that individual should be allowed to do so.
The people that shouted down Coulter showed no consideration for members of the audience that wanted to hear her speak. The protesters probably hurt them more than they did Coulter.
I didn’t know that speaking out against intolerance was intolerant.
Stupid students of stupid stupdidy their brains have shrunk down to pea sized proving liberals are not only intoerent but STUPID as well
The usial amount of young mindless zombies comming out of these collages and universities and most likely their admiastraters a leftover from their collage days as dirty uncleaned smelly stink holes applud their actions proving that these collages and universities deserve to lose their govement money by 100%
Liberals blabber a lot about FROM SPEECH but certianly dont belive its for conservatives becuase LIBERALS ARE STUPID
