Coulter Heckled

Saucy conservative vixen and professional rude asshole Ann Coulter was unable to finish a speech at UConn last night amidst heckling from the crowd:

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter gave up trying to finish a speech at the University of Connecticut on Wednesday night when boos and jeers from the audience became overwhelming.

Coulter cut off the talk after 15 minutes and instead held a half-hour question-and-answer session.

"I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am," Coulter told the 2,600 people at Jorgensen Auditorium.
She was then quoted as declaring the audience “full of poopyheads” and retired to the corner to eat wet cigarette butts and pout.

Apparently, some of those dumbos at UConn took issue with Coulter’s calling Bill Clinton an “executive buffoon” and Barbara Boxer “learning disabled.” One would think such well thought-out arguments would be met with fawning approval. Instead, several student groups, including Students Against Hate and the Puerto Rican/Latin American Cultural Center criticized Coulter “for spreading a message of hate and intolerance.”

Good for them. I’m all for free speech, even Coulter’s bile…and I wholly support the right of those who are willing to shout her down, too. (Via Raw Story.)
