Coulter Finds Out There Are Other Cultures Out There

The Ann Coulter Talking Doll
Pull The String And Watch Her Alienate The Rest Of The World!!


I found this article totally delicious. Coulter is just one more pundit that needs to expand her mind which is shut tighter than a cheese-eater's spincter. Our neighbors to the north are giving her a lesson in manners and it thrills me to the core. I want to break out into a chorus of "O Canada." Take this, you mouthy misanthrope! And thanks to The Huffington Post for the article. And, were I younger and still able, I would love to have Provost Francois Houle's babies.


Canadian University Warns Coulter To Watch Her Mouth

A Canadian university has forewarned Ann Coulter to be mindful of what she says when she speaks on its campus this week.
 
The National Post reports that University of Ottawa Academic Vice President and Provost Francois Houle e-mailed the controversial pundit on Friday. He wrote: "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." He continued, "Promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges."
Houle also reminded Coulter of the strong Canadian tradition of "restraint, respect and consideration."

In response to Houle's e-mail, Coulter wrote on Big Government that she was "hoping for a fruit basket" from the university -- "not a threat to prosecute."

Coulter's visit also raised the ire of some students on campus. According to Macleans, University of Ottawa students started a "Ban Coulter from Campus" Facebook group and forbade signs advertising the talk from being posted in a main campus building.

Coulter, while known primarily for her barbs aimed at the Middle East, has been critical of Canada. She once said that Canadians "are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent."


(I can't believe she said that. And we wonder where the term, "The Ugly American" comes from. *rw)

I covered Ann Coulter when she appeared at Rod Parsley's World Harvest Church a few years ago I kept waiting for her to bend over, and asked the questions would Ann Coulter be allowed to attend World Harvest Bible College? http://theoconia.blogspot.com

The really horrible part was the Q&A when modestly dressed "christian" women told her that she was a role model for their daughters or some such drivel.
