I demand to know who let her in Canada

LONDON, Ont. -- A 17-year-old Muslim student sparked the testiest exchange and the loudest cheers and jeers at a speech by controversial U.S. conservative Ann Coulter at the University of Western Ontario Monday.

After a wide-ranging speech attacking gay rights activists, the mainstream media and the Barack Obama administration, Coulter took questions from an audience clearly divided in its support for her style of attack conservatism.

Fatima Al-Dhaher, a political science student from London, rose and spoke about comments Coulter made after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The firebrand Republican had suggested Muslim countries be invaded, their leaders killed and all Muslims converted to Christianity. She later suggested Muslims denied air travel take “flying carpets” instead.

“As a 17-year-old student of this university, Muslim, should I be converted to Christianity? Second of all, since I don’t have a magic carpet, what other modes do you suggest,” Al-Dhaher said to loud and sustained applause.

“I thought it was just American public schools that produced ignorant people,” Coulter replied, prompting her own round of applause.





Coulter then noted many Japanese were converted to Christianity after the Second World War and “we haven’t heard a peep out of them.”

To shouts of “Answer the question,” Coulter finally replied “What mode of transportation? Take a camel.”

“Are you going to convert her now?” another student shouted out.

“No, there are some people I just as soon not convert,” Coulter retorted.

Al-Dhaher, who left the session soon after, said she came to the speech because it’s important to hear all sides of the political spectrum.

But Coulter disappointed, Al-Dhaher said and raised one of the criticisms that has marked the conservative’s otherwise entertaining speeches.

“She just spewed all this nonsense, it was a comedic act.”

Coulter did not disappoint her many fans in the crowd of 800 with either her politics or her humour.

Little of Coulter’s speech touched on Canadian issues, but she did predict Americans would eventually “punch back” against the historic health-care deal — and a blow to Republicans — passed this week.

“I don’t know how we’re going to have the punch back, but four years of (Democratic President) Jimmy Carter brought us (Republican President) Ronald Reagan.”

Her 45-minute speech was loosely focused on political correctness, which gave her full reign to attack liberals of all stripes.

Liberals constantly complain their rights are being attacked in the same way blacks’ rights once were, she said.

“In America everybody wants to be black. The feminists want to be black, the illegal aliens want to be black, the gays want to be black,” she said.

Yet none of the complainers have anything serious to complain about, Coulter said.

“There are only two things gay men can’t do. Number one, get married to each other. Number two, throw a baseball without looking like a girl.”

But her jokes often had a serious point as well.

“Every Democrat in the past several election cycles that has run for president has sworn to attack gay marriage, but only Republicans get attacked for gay marriage.”

Backed by the mainstream media, liberals have turned political correctness into a weapon that attempts to silence people with opposing views, Coulter said.

Liberal pundits suggest Obama’s race helped him win the election, but conservatives cannot do the same, she said.

Feminists blame the Conservatives for an array of ills, but turned suddenly silent when former U.S. president Bill Clinton had sex with intern, she said.

“Political correctness has nothing to do with offending people or not offending people. It is purely about power,” she said.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH this woman. Who let her in? Why would a Canadian University pay a woman to spew racist shit against its students? I never understand why her books are even in the bookstores here, I just can't understand that kind of stupidity and hatred selling very well in a country where what she says shouldn't even matter.

Hmm, somone should go remind her that because of muslims airplanes arn't safe to go on anymore, so in order to stay safe she should jump off a building and fly herself to her destinations.

Nope, but it never hurts to see if she'll fall for it, literally and figuratively.

[Mariner]

People take her seriously? Al-Dhaher had it right, “She just spewed all this nonsense, it was a comedic act.” It really did sound like a bad comedy routine.

According to the article she had "many fans" in the crowd, but I hear that the student body there is absolutely outraged by what she said, so maybe it was just people from elsewhere.

Again, I'm just baffled as to why a Canadian university that isn't in Alberta would even consider letting this woman speak there. DOES NOT COMPUTE. And I'm pretty sure we have pretty strict hate speech laws, people who have said less racist shit have been banned from the country, hell some journalists who were anti-Olympics weren't allowed to come and cover the winter games, so......why?!

[CptSternn]

You have to admit, its also pretty ironic that she went to Canada to complain about socialised medicine.

Isn't that like traveling to the desert and complaining about the heat back home?

Ann Coulter doesn't have a flying carpet. She should have just flown on her broomstick instead.

colleges tend to be insane when it comes to student activities.

My Alma Mater brought in Louis Farakaan and threatened to expell some students who were advertizing for adult swim (The Dean thought it was porno)

Plus colleges still occasionally book "The Ultimate Warrior" who spends his time after WWE talking about liberals "Queerifying America" and telling his Agent to physically threaten lowtax over @ Something Awful.

You can't hunt a cunt without baiting it first.

That's why she was brought in.

[ape descendant]

Anne Coulter is such a cunt, I fucking hate that woman. But that is pretty standard, I hate ignorant assholes regardless of political affiliation, religion, race or gender.

Speaking to students and academics at the University of Western Ontario Monday, Coulter said the e-mail sent to her Friday by Francois Houle, vice-president academic and provost of the University of Ottawa, targeted her as a member of an identifiable group and as such, she will be filing a complaint with the Human Rights Commission alleging hate speech.

“I’m sure the Human Rights Commission will get to the bottom of it,” Coulter said to loud cheers from the 800-strong audience. “I think I’m the victim of a hate crime here. Either what (Mr. Houle) did was a hate crime, or the whole commission is BS.”


In Houle’s e-mail, a copy of which was obtained by the National Post, the administrator urges Coulter to weigh her words with “respect and civility in mind” when she speaks at the University of Ottawa campus Tuesday.

“Our domestic laws, both provincial and federal, delineate freedom of expression (or ‘free speech’) in a manner that is somewhat different than the approach taken in the United States. I therefore encourage you to educate yourself, if need be, as to what is acceptable in Canada and to do so before your planned visit here.”

Houle goes on: “Promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges.”

Ezra Levant, lawyer and former publisher of the Western Standard magazine, spoke before Coulter on Monday and called Houle’s letter a “veiled threat.” Seamus Wolfe, the president of the University of Ottawa’s student federation, has already said that Coulter is not welcome on campus and that he is trying to work with the administration to find a venue for her speech elsewhere.

I realize she's a twat and a troll, but now she's wasting the Human Rights Commission's time and money because someone informed her that Canada does not protect hate speech and to ask that she be respectful to students.

But good on Ottawa for preventing her from speaking at least.

Please keep her away from becomming a nun, they're nice people, they dont need her bothering them.
On that note, why the heck did they have a show years ago about a flying nun? It has to be one of the silliest tv show ideas I've ever heard.

I think I just remembered who he is, isn't he the guy who r@ped Santa Claus?

Where do you find these...

Guess who does NOT have a new screen saver.

Bahahahahaha!

What on earth is that, Saya!?!? Who on earth wants to draw a tied up Santa?

The Ultimate Warrior, a wrestler, once had a short lived comic series called The Ultimate Warrior, and it was a horrible flop, it had a LOT of text for a comic book, tried to be philosophical and smart but it just made absolutely no sense. The infamous Christmas comic had no text I don't think but just pictures, including the Santa bondage/r@pe thing. I have never heard what his explanation was for it, but its absolutely hilarious that he's that homophobic and yet he PUBLISHED that comic himself.

As to where I found it, I have no idea, I just found it while travelling the interwebs, then found out that Spoony did a review of the comics, and it has been bored into my skull ever since.
