Protests force columnist Coulter to stop speech
‘I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am’
Updated: 8:27 a.m. ET Dec. 8, 2005
STORRS, Conn. - Conservative columnist Ann Coulter cut short a speech
at the University of Connecticut amid boos and jeers, and decided to
hold a question-and-answer session instead.
“I love to engage in repartee with people who are stupider than I am,”
Coulter told the crowd of 2,600 Wednesday.
Before cutting off her speech after about 15 minutes, Coulter called
Bill Clinton an “executive buffoon” who won the presidency only
because Ross Perot took 19 percent of the vote.
Coulter’s appearance prompted protests from several student groups.
About 100 people rallied outside the auditorium where she spoke,
saying she spread a message of intolerance.
“We encourage diverse opinion at UConn, but this is blatant hate
speech,” said Eric Knudsen, a 19-year-old sophomore journalism and
social welfare major who heads campus group Students Against Hate.
It wasn’t the first time Coulter has had trouble at a university
speech. In October 2004, two men ran onstage and threw custard pies as
she was giving a speech at the University of Arizona.
UConn junior Kareem Mohni, 20, said he was disgusted by his peers’
reaction to Coulter.
“It really appalled me that we’re not able to come together as a group
and listen to a different view in a respectful environment,” Mohni
said.

To keep posting PLATITUDES?

PLATITUDE : A trite or banal remark or statement, especially one
expressed as
