    As it turns out, it's the conservatives who are turning on her:

    IOW, Donnie's Dirty Dozen don't mind punching people during his rallies, but they feel unsafe anywhere else.

    I like the way you gloss over the violence of the regressive left and how it's being used to limit free speech. :diacanu:

    Mostly Black Bloc.
    Of course, the odds are about 1 in 10 that any individual showing affiliation with them is an infiltrator/snitch/cop. Apparently during the G20 here back in '08, one cop was so deeply embedded as to have knocked up one of the actual members. I'm not gonna bother looking it up, but it was reported from court docs :shrug:

    It doesn't expressly say who turned on her, but that doesn't negate the fact that the university is dicking her around.

    I’m not responsible for the oxymoronic terminology you and your cohort make up to describe what exists in your own head.

    If you have evidence that anyone’s ever thrown a punch at Ann Coulter, kindly present it here. Alternatively, you can send her a sympathy card.

    Ahem, from the article you obviously didn’t read: “Young America's Foundation and the Berkeley College Republicans.” :garamet:

    The article I read said they stopped supporting the event because of the university, not Coulter.

    Serious denial. The students were violent in the past and the whole thing is over Coulter's safety. There's plenty of reason to believe they why will be violent again. Also, I'm sure someone has taken a swing at her over the years.

    Yeah, she just ignores the violence that she pretends doesn't exist, even though there's been countless news stories and videos on it, and then frames it as because no one has thrown a punch at Coulter she's got nothing to worry about which is just so intellectually dishonest I don't even know where to begin.

    But she's a hack, always has been so none of this is surprising.

    Nice to know she's only opposed to violence against women if they lean a certain way politically.

    Why is Ann Coulter worth the trouble anyway? I've seen her as a guest on shows for years and she seems pretty run of the mill conservative. Nothing anyone would want to man the barricades over.

    Thank you. That’s the same article I linked to. You can hardly claim Coulter’s referring to the left when she states “I looked over my shoulder and my allies had joined the other team.” :shrug:

    She's doing what conservatives do best...playing the victim card.

    We’ll never know, will we? One might almost think Coulter was looking for some free media coverage a la Donnie to bolster a sagging career.

    This would be a non-story if Berkeley would just let her speak and the students weren't so scared of free speech.

    True perhaps.

    But what will bolster her sagging breasts?

    With the extra money from this publicity maybe she could get a more supportive bra?

    Then it's a non-story, because the university was willing to accommodate her, and it was students who invited her in the first place. :shrug:

    Like it or not, the left is slowly becoming the group that people associate anti-free speech with.

    It's not a good look.

    That must be why those speaking out in support of Coulter include rabid right-wingers Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and the ACLU.

    Those three have some brains to understand the danger. They are old school leftists. They grew up fighting for free speech at Berkley.

    The current students at Berkley? They do not support free speech anymore.

    The millennials in the colleges and a huge swath of the leftists in this country are on a anti-free speech crusade. Unless of course you agree with exactly what they say. Than you can have free speech. :dayton:

    Just go watch YouTube. Videos all over the place of leftists thinking it's completely acceptable to shut down people they don't agree with and to even have laws on the books banning speech.

    That's pretty irrelevant. Fact of the matter is Coulter's been shut down and is unable to speak - that's the headline that gets accompanied by videos of angry people yelling other people down and even committing acts of violence. People watching that will be left with the perception that these people do not support free speech.

    It was Berkeley students who invited her to speak. The threat of violence comes from outside groups who show up to fight and cause trouble, not students.

    YouTube is full of morons and drama queens. What else is new? :shrug:
