Ann Coulter is the CONSCIENCE of the Modern Republican.

Ann Coulter is the SOUL of the Christian Conservative.
Ann Coulter causes firestorm in Canada by telling Muslim to 'take a camel' as alternative to flying

Firebrand conservative Ann Coulter's lecture at a Canadian college was cancelled Tuesday night over fears students would riot over racist remarks she made to Muslims.
Security at the University of Ottawa scrapped the right-wing darling's talk when more than 2,000 students showed up to protest her telling a Muslim student Monday to "take a camel" as an alternative to flying.
Coulter's tasteless comment came after previously she told a gathering that Muslims shouldn't be allowed on airplanes and should take "flying carpets."
The camel quip came when Muslim student Fatima Al-Dhaher challenged Coulter on the remark - and told her she didn't have a flying carpet.
"What mode of transportation?" Coulter responded. "Take a camel."
Students jeered Coulter's remarks, and showed up in mass Tuesday night let her know she was not welcome at the school.
Coulter tried to explain away her comments Tuesday as "satire."
"I can say it a lot quicker with a joke, and by the way, they wouldn't be bringing me in here for a speech if I never told a joke, if I never used satire," she told a Canadian TV news channel.

Threats of violence (terrorism?

) forced the cancellation of Coulter's right to practice free speech in Ottowa, Canada:

If you can call what Canadians have "a right to free speech". Thats entirely debatable.

Coulter is such a dreadful troll

. It's like she expects reverent silence in the face of her hateful declarations rofl. She deliberately goes out of her way to be insulting... and then what? What's next, after that? What does she fucking want, except sell her shitty tomes?

What a fuckhead, that Coulter :-) .

Going after a muslim woman who's come to Canada to get an education is a classy aspect that nobody's mentioned yet as well: she's not going to be one of the jihadists, is she?

Coulter isn't the "heart" or "soul" of anything; she's a babbling shrew that spews shit out in order to sell books and appearances.

Maybe she was just keen to remind people that she exists since Sarah Palin stole her fire the other year?

We have a provision for hate speech within the right to freedom of speech. Her ugly mouth cant help itself it seems.
She as advised not to go over the boundaries, to look over what constitutes hate speech in Canada.
The stories going around are that it was cancelled by her, by her security and also by the uni. too much crap to say who is telling the truth.
Tonites event hasn't been canceled, she will still speak.However the student s will be there to ensure their right to free speech against a furrigner in OUR backyard so I hope keeps her ugly mouth down to a slow hiss.
If she cant keep within the boundaries of the law of the land, she shouldnt come.
Im very happy with the rights given by Canada in the charter, the fact that you aren't just makes me laugh

Take a good look at that picture. Do you think *any* of those people have *ever* seen a camel outside of a zoo?

I know it's not a law you personally wrote, but for the record, any limitations on freedom of speech means that there is no longer freedom of speech, but rather simply a very large scope of things one is allowed to say.

Do copyright laws mean that the U.S. doesn't have freedom of speech?

The law against perjury is not about the speech itself but about the breaking of an oath (swearing to tell the truth then breaking the oath) and the law against slander is not against the speech itself but the intent to defame a person's character, which is why 'slander' isn't convictable in cases of obvious satire.

ETA: Basically, any restriction of speech in the US is not about liking or disliking what the person has to say.
