PHOTO: Coulter visits grave of her hero, Sen. Joseph McCarthy


Coulter is Coming
But why is the UConn student government prepared to give her $16,000 — almost twice the usual fee — for doing so?

Last April, the UConn College Republicans brought Warrior the professional wrestler-turned-conservative-lecturer, to speak on campus. It's safe to say that the event didn't go well.

Several students engaged Warrior, who famously portrayed the Ultimate Warrior on the professional wrestling circuit, in a political debate. When all was said and done, Warrior had, among other things, questioned the legitimacy of Kwanzaa, may have mocked a student he might have believed was Jewish, and declared to the crowd that "queering doesn't make the world work."

Almost immediately, the College Republicans began apologizing for the event. In one statement, they described their decision to bring Warrior to campus as a "great error." In the other, they vowed that "in the future, the College Republicans will be sure to choose speakers that will be more likely to promote intellectual discourse on the UConn campus."

For the UConn College Republicans, the future is now. They've announced who their next sponsored speaker will be Ann Coulter. She'll be at UConn on Dec. 8......

5. Examples of Ann Coulter's "intellectual discourse" ..
"It's always so comforting when Muslims cite the precise verse from the Quran that tells them killing is wrong. Don't all empathetic human beings understand that instinctively? What if they lost their Quran that day and couldn't remember?"

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

"There are no good Democrats."

"Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism, but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy."

7. "more likely to promote intellectual discourse"??
If that's their only criteria, why bring in Coulter at all?

Long blonde hair and the ability to denigrate anyone not white and rich does not make you an intellectual.

How do you keep Ann Coulter off the air for hours?

Have her alphabetize a bag of M & M's.
